New branch is now available for upcoming releases of 10.04 series

[Jacopo Cappellato-4]

The new release branch "10.04" is now available here:

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/branches/release10.04

Checkout instructions are, as usual, here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBADMIN/OFBiz+Source+Repository+and+Access

There is now a new version "Release Branch 10.04" in Jira that can be used to mark Jira tickets that contain patches (or bug reports) specifically addressed to this branch.

We will only accept bug fixes for this branch and we will issue official releases over time (tentatively every quarter).

To the whole community: please help to stabilize the branch with tests, bug reports and fixes; the quality of the upcoming releases in the 10.04 series will be determined by the activity and contribution of the community.

Kind regards,

Jacopo

[Vikas Mayur-2]

Thanks Jacopo for all of your hard work to make it happen.

Btw I am not sure if this is a good question to you (and others of course)
about commit policy to the release branch.

We all know that the main idea behind the release branch is to provide a
more stable version of OFBiz.

I was just wondering if we could also change the commit policy to back port
unit test besides bug fixes.

This way there would be more code coverage with the additional unit tests
resulted by backporting to the release branch.

I am sorry if this has been already discussed in past.

Regards
Vikas

It would be good if we could backport the field tooltip messages too.

Many thanks, chris

Keep asking, If there are enough reason, we may come up with some policy that allows for it.

Or
may be we create one more release branch as soon as in next two months and kill this branch in its alpha stage itself.

+1 on backporting tests - especially under the guise of stability.

This looks like a good idea to me and I don't see why we should not allow to backport automated tests.

I don't see why we need a new "policy." In the past, only bug fixes were applied to release branches, and any other changes were discussed on a case-by-case basis. That process seems to have worked well so far.

My guess is that since we've increased the frequency of building tests that this being a case by case basis would be a pain.  I think adding tests to document and improve stability should always be allowed.  My two cents.

What about backporting help files improvements?

Chris,
what we coud do to with this feature is to maintain a patch for the 10.04 in
a specific JIRA.
This would allow everybody (including me) to apply the patch on 10.04
releases.

Hi Bruno,

I had setup https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3743 for tooltip
help related patches  - is this what you were thinking?

Many thanks,

Chris

Maintaining patches is another big job. We've done that, it gets difficult over time.

I can see your point on ones that are for the trunk.
but of a release it would seem since only bug fixes the patches should
work for the whole realse version.

Hi BJ,

The patch for displaying the tooltip help was in a few days ago so
should be in 10.04.  You can see it in action by going to the following
link:

https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/example/control/EditExample?exampleId=10000

Hover over the field labels (e.g. Example Id, Type, etc) and you should
see an informative help message.

The patches we are talking about here are for providing the actual text
that gets displayed when you hover over a field label.  Providing the
actual text is similar to adding translation messages in property files.

Cheers,

Chris

Maybe it's broken, all I see is things like "FieldDescription.Example.description" on rollover.  The locale looks like French.

Oh, sorry, I did not know the patch was already been committed (and thus
already present in 10.04).
So please forget me.

Hi Scott,

That's because a default resource has been setup for the entity, but no
help text is found for that field.  I thought it would be good to
display the key so that it may encourage people to submit patches
containing help text.  Obviously, the current behavior is easily changed
if required.

Many thanks,

Chris

In fact, if anyone is willing to commit (for 10.04 and trunk), the patch
(productStoreFieldDescriptions2.patch
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12443367/productStoreFieldDescriptions2.patch>)
at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3747 provides description
labels for ProductStore.

To me it looked like a bug, I'm guessing it could look like the same to a potential user.

Shall we provide no tooltip if the text isn't provided? Or, even a string
"help not found - please write me!"?
