Re: openerp 7 nightly build backward compat

 

Hiren,

I would pin your install to a revision and review your incoming changes
before applying them.

That way you can know what functionality to expect (good or bad) drama
from.  Blindly applying them does not help your business, because you
cannot be aware of what new features you can take advantage of.

Regards,

Steve
