[image] [SOLVED] OpenHAB 2.5 RC 1 Critical Issues But there’s no issue entered over all these months about the hue binding? Is this really neccessary if the developer knows the problem? There are three or four topics here in forum.

[image] [SOLVED] OpenHAB 2.5 RC 1 Critical Issues Critical issues for 2.5 Release Candidate 1 go here. Why there is a need for this topic? You all have read it: If you have a bug then file it on Github, not here. If it is critical it is the decision of the maintainer or developer. ((Then you w…

Give up, Alex.. We seem to be the only two who believe this. It´s quite clear to me, there are some people in here who believe the users time spending is worth nothing, unless they are willing to spend even more time on Github as well. It´s their responsibility to do so, it seems. [image] Bruce…

Just to clarify for those in the future. This thread topic refers to users sunning Testing (Milestone & Release Candidate) builds of OH. It also applies to those running unstable (snapshot) builds.The purpose of these builds is testing and bug reporting (onGitHub). Although forum discussion can hel…

[image] Bruce_Osborne: Possibility vs. Responsibility. I did not say stable users cannot file on GH. Agree. But you agreed with the original statement - There is no issue if it hasn´t been filed onto Github. Right? With the above in mind, please answer this: Which options are available fo…

[image] Kim_Andersen: But you agreed with the original statement - There is no issue if it hasn´t been filed onto Github . Right? Yes, as stated by Kai, starting this thread discussion that there is no bug unless it is on GitHub.. [image] Kim_Andersen: But the original statement from the…

Taking a totally pragmatic view ; If you want the right people to see the problem you have, the ones capable of fixing it for you - put it on github. Putting it on github should also encourage you to formalize your problem - examples, evidence, impact etc. - to make it easier to fix. You want it …

[image] rossko57: If you want the right people to see the problem you have, the ones capable of fixing it for you - put it on github. Also, if users do not want that responsibility, stick to using stable versions.

[image] Bruce_Osborne: A Testing or Unstable user has obligated themselves to files discovered issues since that is the major purpose of those versions. There is no such obligation for the stable users. But again - Does it change anything from the stable user point of view? [image] rossko…
