Jacopo, Thank you for making the OFBiz 13.07.01 release available for download and testing.
I have run the tests available in the release and only 1 failed. Test 'testCreateManyAndStoreOneAtATime' in entitytests raised a failure, but given the description of the failure it can be regarded as a minor issue. Also, testing for the multi-tenancy aspect (as per OFBIZ-4130<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-4130>and OFBIZ-5319 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5319>), the security threat - as described in those issues - still exists. It is a pity that resolving this didn't make it before the cutoff date of this release. But I trust you will mention the potential threat in the release notes after the conclusion of the vote and the subsequent release. As for not including good special purpose apps, I trust that mechanisms will be put in place (in short time) to ensure that users can still access and apply those applications in their 13.07 setup, without having to go through the developer way of working (checkout and code adjustment). Such mechanisms would show that OFBiz there is more to it than current release does. It is a pity that formal voting on each of the special purpose applications - to ensure due process - didn't occur in the dev ML, given the controversies as stated in mail thread http://ofbiz.135035.n4.nabble.com/Lose-Weight-Program-for-OFBiz-td4481845i40.html. It would also have ensured that creation and/or adjustment of policy and other document(s) could be planned and effect to reflect the new situation.
