Creating a new release branch before the end of the year ("release14.12")

Hi all,

the end of 2014 is getting closer and it would be nice to have a new release branch created before it ends: its name will be "release14.12" (14=2014 and 12=December).
In this way we will have a sequential numbering: 10, 11, 12, 13, 14.
Pending the discussion on specialpurpose components (exclude them all apart from ecommerce as we did in 13.07, include some of them selectively etc...) I would temporarily include them all, and when we will have a clear plan of action we will adjust the branch accordingly.

Any objections?

Jacopo

Hi Taher

At least two of your proposed milestones are in the draft project roadmap
that is currently out for community feedback.

I'm currently travelling so cant include the links but please search this
list for my post on project vision, direction and roadmap.

I would encouge anyone who has an opinion to provide feedback so that we
can look at incorporating them.

Thanks

In the past we have been flexible when we had to backport refactoring work to newly created branches, and we could continue this approach now.
As regards the specific changes, I am fine with Adrian's work but I am not sure about merging SEO because if I am not wrong it a debated change. By the way, this is not a discussion limited to backporting to the new release but rather about merging to trunk first.

If not I think we should delay freezing the branch until those efforts are committed in trunk.
And we should both try to do it ASAP if others feel they are waiting for us.

In my opinion the amount of work done in the trunk since the creation of 13.07 is remarkable and definitely worth of a release branch: of course we can discuss timing and preferences but I wouldn't postpone just because of this consideration.

Hi Jacques and everyone, 

I think we agree to a large degree with your proposition in the below archived thread Jacques. We see little advantage in upgrading our systems to newer versions of OFBiz because the new features do not seem to be that major! 

I would prefer slowing down the release cycle and to focus on accumulation of enough features to warrant a release. Right now, both branches and releases seem to be simply snapshots in time for the project, but I see no substantial reward in upgrading nor do I see enough features to wet my appetite to play around with the new releases. 

For example, here are some milestones that would highly encourage me personally to upgrade: 

- Major overhaul of the UI (the bootstrap theme project for example) 
- Addition of builtin documentation and completing the contextual help system 
- Integration of third party systems (pentaho, CMSs, jackrabbit, etc ...) 
- Substantial improvements to existing components (too much form/field clutter in current design) 
- Translations and internationalization improvement 
- Change / upgrade of infrastructure (logging framework, transaction management, build systems like gradle, JVM, etc ...) 

My 2 cents 

Taher Alkhateeb

Nothing prevent us to not create a relase branch in 2014 and only create on in 2015 when ready.
Actually, due to Adrian's and my request, I believe we should rather go that way

This is as well a good argument to delay the branch creation, even if we can expect to have all patches reviewed each time we need to create a

Next year release branch 14 can also be created as it follows release
branch 13. This policy of having the branch number (and subsequent major
release number) *always* match the last two digits of the year it is
created in - and thus avoidance of gaps, is limiting us.

If we create a new branch now in order to meet adherence to that policy, it
means that we are going to exclude the 60 patches available on the JIRA
issues marked as improvement in the upcoming release. Are we sure this is
what we want?

Creating branches should meet a higher project purpose than just such a
policy.

I'm neutral, I prefer planed the branch creation like 15.04 instead of 
create stable release branch with many synchronize at the begin (so more 
work) because some technology swap are in process and enable (and it's 
good ! :)).

Yes,  we don't put the trunk in a package and call it a release. We allow around 1 year of stablisation before...

Re: Creating a new release branch before the end of the year ("release14.12")

Hi Mridul,

Please be aware that creating a new branch is not the same as making a
release from that branch available to the public.

Best regards,

How many meetings/votes would it take to settle the specialpurpose question.
Is there a summary of the issue?
- what modules have a consensus for inclusion
- what modules are definitely out
- what modules are still under consideration for inclusion.

I have a big commit queued up that makes form widget models thread-safe. 
If the branch is created before this commit, then I would like to 
backport it to R14.
