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.
No worries, if they are bugs they will be backported to releases
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.
This is a good idea, but It will not happen all of the sudden. We need to
organize things around to have a least a hope something will happen...
To begin, I suggest a Jira with requirements and ideas how to do.
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.
Everyone can begin a vote (even if only committers voices count). Of course
it's too late now...
Jacques

Hi all,
this is just to inform you that in the dev mailing list (
[email protected]) it is taking place a vote to issue the new release
"Apache OFBiz 13.07.01" (the vote will last for 5 days).
If you are interested in getting more involved with the project then
testing the release and participating to the vote is a good way to start.
Here are a few miscellaneous tasks that you could do to help:
* download the candidate release files
* check the signatures
* verify the integrity of the zip file
* build the system (with seed data only and/or with demo data)
* verify if the automated tests pass
* test the applications (at least some of the workflows you are more
comfortable with)
* check if the LICENSE and NOTICE files are complete
When you finally cast your vote, it would be great to mention the tests
that you did.
For any doubts or questions please use this thread rather than the voting
thread in the dev list.
Thanks,
Jacopo
