Ruth,
You should be careful about shaking your head - something might fall out.
Many of the project team members have committed themselves to
maintaining the various releases. When bugs are reported and patches are
provided, the appropriate release branches are updated.
The Apache Software Foundation has strict rules about binary release
distribution. There are a number of tasks involved in creating a binary
release, so the process depends a lot on team member availability.
To aid in determining a binary release's revision, we could create tags
in the repository - and those tags would associate revisions with
release versions.
When you're through shaking your head, maybe you could post a suggestion
on the dev mailing list.

Hi BJ:
Thanks for the info. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.
The following is just my opinion, so anyone not interested in my
opinions, just skip this: To be sure this was a really "clever" move on
the project's part. How in the world would anyone be able to report back
errors specific to versions? But then, maybe that was the intention. To
paraphrase this old saying: "no news is good news": I guess no bug
reports is "good" bug reports. Gotta just shake my head and wonder if
any of the project team members care about anything but the latest trunk
commits.
Anyhow, thanks much for your response.
Best Regards,
Ruth

as far as I can tell once the release is put in a zip file the number
is apache-ofbiz-09.04.zip the next version would be
apache-ofbiz-09.04.1.zip
the SVN data is striped by using the export function.
to track back to SVN you need to look at the date in the dev list it
was made into a zipfile and look at the svn history(april 2010).
Unfortunately Eclipse only goes back a month so can see the svn
version for april.
The commit mailing list shows the website being changed 4/24
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=937602&view=rev
Jacopo had made a comment that they would try to release a new version
every month but have not heard any more on this.

Hello List:
I've noticed in recent distributions of OFBiz 9.04 (as available on the
main download site http://ofbiz.apache.org/download.html) that there
doesn't seem to be any indication of the OFBiz version anywhere. Am I
overlooking something, or has this information been removed and no
longer available for these downloads?
TIA
Ruth
