FAQs
This is based on my understanding of how it works:
What is this "Milestone" stuff? |
As of the time of this post, openHAB2 has 3 main branches under which the distribution is made available to all: 1) The Stable Release = 2.3.0. Published on 28/May/2018. Cycle: ~6M The Milestone build is a testing (semi-stable) build of the OH2 distribution and includes all new enhancements, features and bug fixes. The Snapshot build is a bleeding-edge (considered unstable) build of the OH2 distribution and includes all the latest enhancements, features and bug fixes. Get 2.3.0 Stable from here: Main Web Site (or the stable repo) |
I want to test 2.4.0.M7, how I can switch to it? |
Linux Apt Based: Change to the Testing (aka Beta) Repository on your systems apt sources list apt-get update && sudo apt-get install openhab2=2.4.0~M7-1 Win/Mac: Download the zip file from JFrog.io Docker: Read docs @ openhab-docker |
| How do I report issues that I have identified with Milestone build? |
Use the community forum to start with. Maybe your issue is due to a miss-configuration and not due to a bug. If the results of the troubleshooting in the forum point to a bug, you can open up a github issue to be tracked and reviewed by the developers. When you post problems (either in the forum or in github) add as much info as you can (relevant to the problem) in order to help with identification and possible reproduction of the issue. |
| Is 2.4.0 M7 going to become 2.4.0 Stable if all is OK with it? | The development team is planning to make available more Milestones (M8) before the final Release of 2.4.0 Stable (ETA: 17/Dec/2018). |
| Can I run 2.4.0.M6 with Java VM 11? | No! The recommended JVM is: Zulu 8. See more here: Prerequisites |
