When will be started the version 4.15 to built it?
We are 2 days over official offered date.

I would be use this version very well because the changed syntax highlither will help use very wll.
And I wanst to checkin the ES6 changes to have it for 4.16.

The nightly build is 4.15

I’ll do a milestone later this week and ask for it to be tested.

I was hoping to use all stable release repositories in the target platform so that people could more easily build a fork off the release commit. But if that takes more time than I expect, I will skip that step.

Thanks Ed, but I can use the nightly build version for my production environment & colleagues to to the specific government roles.
So I plan with our release dates. (Yes for my testing side is the nightly build version is a must have.)

Yes, your time schedluing for next week sounds good for me.

Here's the 4.15 milestone:

https://download.eclipse.org/birt/updates/milestone/S202403111050

Please test it thoroughly and let me know when you are convinced that it is of release quality and is therefore ready to be promoted as the 4.15 release. It's fine if you find problem and wish to make changes to fix them before the release.

@merks
Thanks for the milestone, I started the first test and found the first blocker:
#1588
#1589
The problem is that I didn't get the error on my dev-environment.
The problem of the fix is why appears this only on build side. Could somebody test it from other side please.

@wimjongman May be you have an idea because it is a topic with the designer-ui. But we haven't changed there things at 4.15.

@wimjongman @speckyspooky

There's a new milestone ready to be promoted to the 4.15 release as soon as you both give it the green light.
