Version numbering for community version, Kopano One and Kopano core
-
Hi,
as a long term kopano / zarafa user I’m a little bit confused about the version numbering of the different editions:- the community edition is currently around 11.x
- the kopano core edition is about 8.7.x
- kopano one seems to be around 9.x
what’s the reason behind this numbering scheme ?
My second question is about the mayor version increases in WebApp, as I do not see any mayor “improvements”, btw. are there any plans in the near future for a replacement of the current WebApp ?
thx and best regards

Hi @odix67,
in general we adopted semantic versioning for our software a while ago, which specifies when a new tag should be major, minor or patch.
The mix of versions in Core can be explained in the following way:
- 8.7 is the current stable for all customers
- 9.x is part of Kopano One and brings a nice licensing component, Kopano One is the recommended installation for new customers
- because of the new licensing component users upgrading from 8.7 need to convert their subscription key, which requires some more automation to provide a smooth transition
- 11.x is the head of our main development branch

Yes, the idea is still to replace WebApp with new web applications designed as so called Progressive Web Apps (PWA), which make use of OIDC and a RestAPI to communicate with the Kopano backend.
