Openbravo 3.0 RC6 available
Release date: April 21st, 2011
Openbravo 3.0 RC6 is the sixth release candidate of the 3.0 series.
This release delivers a fully functional 3.0 distribution intended for:
- Evaluation
- Development
- Production usage by early adopters in new implementations.
Release candidates are incomplete versions of 3.0, delivering a subset of the 3.0 road map. New functionality has been thoroughly tested but should be considered not yet proven.
Early adopters interested in deploying Openbravo 3.0 RC6 for new implementation projects are recommended to thoroughly test planned business processes before deploying release into a production environment.
