12. Update apps.odoo.com to pull v8 modules from GitHub 12 December 2014
This process usually takes a month or so for the average release, but we know that this one is harder than the average due to Launchpad -> GitHub move, new API and new CMS modules.
Statistics:
- 73 days from release candidate 1 until version 8 stable release.
- 153 days until the full odoo.com ecosystem supported version 8.
@Stephen, Thanks for the update. I'll keep an eye on this thread for the final dates for points 6-8.
@Stephen: you seem to be involved in v8 release process to some extend. Maybe you have an opinion to share of my other question regarding stability of v8 https://www.odoo.com/forum/help-1/question/are-classic-erp-modules-in-v8-as-stable-as-they-where-in-v7-already-60117 ?
Gunner, I am not involved in the release process. I only read the emails from the various email groups, facebook, twitter, youtube accounts. My comments are my own and the information that I have listed here has been pulled together from various messages from odoo employees.
Odoo has updated their website to v8
Here: https://www.odoo.com/forum/help-1/question/what-made-most-of-the-odoo-forum-user-profiles-private-60737 is an issue that came up after the recent upgrade. Do we know which branch they really used to update? Is it https://github.com/odoo/odoo/tree/8.0 ?
I can only imagine that it was that branch. If you click on your name in the upper right hand corner on the odoo.com website to go into the back-end of odoo. Then click your name again and select about odoo it says v8rc1.
First full nightly packages available including windows installation. There might be some issues with the deb package: https://github.com/odoo/odoo/issues/798
Now waiting for step 7. Several labels are not correctly translated. See also https://github.com/odoo/odoo/issues/1755
I have been checking daily but so far nothing.
Odoo is also keeping this progress updated in the GitHub Wiki: https://github.com/odoo/odoo/wiki/GitHub-Transition
Translated as of 6 September 2014: Server 43%, Web 59%, Addons 23% To help out see the wiki: https://github.com/odoo/odoo/wiki/GitHub-Transition
First Launchpad Translations for version 8.0 were just migrated to GitHub.
Odoo has announced that all new online customers will be given saas-6 (odoo v8) and they have begin to migrate the other online customers to saas-6. Once this finishes they will be ready to release v8
Odoo released v8 stable today. Packages are available at nightly.odoo.com
apps.odoo.com was updated to pull v8 apps from github. The final missing step is the official release of saas-6
