I am currently migrating from 1.6.0-M2-SNAPSHOT to 1.6.1-GA. There is no major problems for now because the gap is not so deep between these 2 versions, so the code migration has been pretty fast.
But I am thinking about migrating to 1.7, because there are new functionnalities and a necessary model refactoring (product and sku).
And because of the gap between our custom development (1.6 based) and the 1.7, the migration will be harder.
(From what i saw in the develop branch rest api will be very useful )
I have a more general question about the releases date:
- How do the Broadleaf team decide about the release dates ?
Is it possible to have an estimate date of a 1.7-M1-SNAPSHOT and a demo site working on this Snapshot ?
I think that having (estimate) date of version*, will help us (and other blc developers) to
- - decide or not to migrate.
- anticipate migration.
- decide to wait or develop a feature that be available in the next version
Thanks,
Karim
