Hi BJ:
No doubt fixes are being made and applied. That really isn't my point.
My point is that this makes it almost impossible for a user such as
myself to report bugs. Certainly the challenges to reporting problems
get more impressive as time goes on. (You and others on this list might
ask yourselves - so, who is reporting bugs? Just developers and committers?)
Anyhow, thanks again for confirming this for me.
Regards,
Ruth

I just looked at the history and since june 25 fixes have been done.
I don't see any lack of support for 9.04.
there has even been bug fixes on 4.0

The part you missing is 9.04 is frozen and will not be changed at all.
now the branch 9.04 is active and can have the bug fixes.
so if you have a bug, then use the svn branch to run the same scenario
and see if you can produce it. if not then it has been fixed, if so then
use the current svn version for the branch 9.04.
my 2 cents

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
