openHAB Milestone builds

Announcements
135

There is one for the released builds… in powershell - works fine :slight_smile:

136

Ok, good to know, thank you for that hint!
However, as I am updating all couple of weeks to some new Snapshot build the scripts for the released builds probably won’t help me.

137

habe M6 running since a week incl z-wave, which recognized all the devices and is stable.

I‘m runnung 2 instances
a) on a Pi
b) Mac Dev system for the TelekomTV, WhatsApp and Rachio sprinkler binding.

So far everThing looks fine, good job :clap:

138

I’d like to say thank you: compared to v2.3, now v2.4 (build 1443) seems to have faster response times at least for controlling Zigbee lights, etc. :slight_smile: (Openhabian on the Raspberry Pi 3)

New Testing Results & FAQ thread for 2.4.0.M7 here:

143

hi Kai, what if the original maintainer seems to have left the building?

144

Fix it yourself or find someone else interested in having it fixed :slight_smile: .

145

Please note that you can from now on find direct links to the latest milestone on https://www.openhab.org/download/
as well as some explanation between the different versions for novice users.

Feel free to provide feedback!
Thanks

Excellent! Why was this only done now by December 2018? Would have liked to have these clear options for years. Great work!

147

You need to sign up to the “Announcement” section and you will never miss such information, and of course, you need to read. “Watching first post” is very handy if you don’t like to be notified on every single message.

148

I agree but the new links on the download page are MUCH EASIER and also suitable for every newcomer who has not read this forum for years. I think OH suffered a lot in the past form all these complicated scattered information which made it unnecessary hard for every beginner to join in. Normally you would expect this information on the download page of the main website (where it finally arrived now) and I really appreciate this!

149

From what I remember: The download section already had the direct links for manual deployment of the 2.3.0 Stable Release (since the website was revamped during the summer of 2018)

The recent change was about the addition of the Milestone builds/releases for testing purposes (the Milestones are not very appropriate for newcomers :slight_smile:)

150

sorry for the noob question

how can we know in which current milestone is currently openhab?

how to know what is the milestone of the openHAB 2.4.0 Build #1451?

Thanks
