Hi Scott,
I think you're getting this wrong. I do work from the current trunk and I never "tried" the release since I knew the trunk was more advanced in the features I require. I am very close to start supporting my own customers on OFBiz setups and I would prefer to work on a stable-release-basis rather than on a certain trunk revision which will be changed at the next commit. So, I would prefer to start customize (branch out) some bits for customers from a release than using the current revision as a reference. However, if in this mailing list there is no preference for a "release" driven development cycle, I cannot help it and I need to do the testing myself. Having said that: I think there is opportunity in sticking to a release cycle (and hence to a certain release process which involves e.g. a integration/stabilization run) and I think we're not here to make OFBiz a secret but rather want to grow it's acceptance, right? I am pretty sure, IT organisations will prefer to use a "released" product rather than the trunk of a certain day just as I do with my business. They need to maintain configurations themselves and would want a stable and reproducible basis for the efforts they may invest on top (and so do I). It is also easier then to plan and analyse an upgrade to the next release. So, yes, you may blame me for being ignorant of the last release, but I sure will not be for the next one.
