<![CDATA[Pushing beta]]>Hi

This is not really general support, so please forgive me as I didn't find a better place to put this.

I find it puzzling that the beta is being pushed as the latest download, and latest stable (1.2.17 ?) is found in the archive.

The number one priority for me as a user of netxms is a reliable and robust alerting system. Ofcourse I want to contribute on testing the latest code, but not in production. So I am a bit confused as to why the 2.0 branch is promoted on the download page, and 1.2.17 is "hidden".

I would like to see the download page split into "stable" and "milestone/testing". It would be a step in the right direction.

This makes more sense. I'm running 1.2.27 in production, and will upgrade once M is a proper non-beta release.

Offering milestone/beta releases is a big thumbs up. It will provide us more peace of mind when we divide between production and testing the latest and greatest. Great work to you guys. It's highly appreciated.

@victor said in Pushing beta:

Actually it was not a good idea to hide 1.2.17 in archive. We will change download page to offer both versions. As for M releases - it may be quite stable (as 2.0-M2 for example) or may not. Main reason why we use M releases now is significant amount of internal changes (mostly targeted at IPv6 support).

Best regards,
Victor

If they are more stable than the 1.2.27 release then why were they called M in the first place? It's beta milestones or have I completely misunderstood something? The debs are even under notation beta:

You can see from the change-logs that M1 and M2 dont have critical system changes.

I would definitely recommend M2 over 1.2.17 because of bug fixes that are in there.

M3 will have major changes tho, so your point is valid for M3.
