With the 5.11 release out now we are wondering if people would like us to publish 5.12 SNAPSHOTS every now and then (and only if the Activiti QA runs green). This will bridge the gap a bit between the releases. Let us know how you think about that? Of course the SNAPSHOTS will not have the fully tested quality of an actual release.
Yes please! We have had to produce our own local build on our CI server that we then publish to our local repo. This has been necessary in order to get high priority bug fixes. While we have this process working, it's not ideal and I would much rather simply pull in a "semi-sanctioned" snapshot build.
