Does anyone know when Alfresco 3.1 Enterprise will be released?

Also, when is the next version of Labs (3.1?) due to be released?

Thanks,
Sam.

This is stupid.

So 3.0Final is the Labs equivalent of 3.1 Enterprise? Does this mean there won't be any more Labs releases until next year when 4 comes out? Or will there be a 3.0Ultimate? Who put the muppets in charge of version labelling? What's so difficult about just incrementing the minor version?

It doesn't change the fact that the link to 3.1 Final still takes you to 3Stable, so I've got absolutely no idea what to download to get the fixes from 3.1 Enterprise.

Well, they did change versioning scheme, starting with 3.2 it will be 3.2 Labs which maps to 3.2 Enterprise (with Ent having more bug fixes and more enterprise features).

During 3.2 development there will be Previews, and one such is available for download, Labs 3.2 Preview1. I don't know if it contains all of the bug fixes from Enterprise 3.1 though.

I still don't understand when the latest production-ready version of Labs was released, and where it is available. The "Final" link takes me to downloads for "3Stable", and I downloaded something called 3Stable back in January, so that can't be what I want.

I am completely confused.

The current production ready Labs release is still the 3D / Stable / Final thingy from January.      

But due to the changes in naming discussed earlier in this thread, Labs 3D / Stable / Final is the equivalent of what would have been called Labs 3.1 Final, had we been following the current naming convention. 

Here's a lot of detail,  I hope it helps rather than adding to the confusion.

Labs 3D was the base for Alfresco Enterprise 3.1.

The latest Labs release is "Labs 3.2 Preview # 1" and is out now,  it contains work in progress on the 3.2 release, and is probably not fit for production use.  However it is where the community gets a taste of what's comming up and contributes back.  And has served as a milestone for the development team.

This will be followed by a "Labs 3.2 Preview # 2" and then "Labs 3.2 Final" which will be the next production ready Labs release.   And Labs 3.2 Final will be the base for Alfresco Enterprise 3.2.

This will then be followed by Labs 3.3 Preview #1, and the cycle starts again.    And then it's Alfresco 4.0

Okay, thanks for the clarification. I assumed that the release due out this month (which I think was mentioned at the beginning of this thread) was going to be a production ready labs build. Since 3.2 Enterprise isn't due until September, I guess then that the next production Labs will be around then.

Unfortunately, this is very annoying, because it means that the most recent community/labs production release that has a working version of WCM is still 2.1.

Sam,

I have no inside knowledge of Alfresco's schedule, but based on what I've seen, 3.2 preview 2 will probably be released in a month's time or two. The final 3.2 version coming late in the summer.  I think there was about a month's time between Labs 3 final and 3.1 enterprise.

There are lots of exciting things going on in the SVN right now. I would also agree that its not ready for production.  There are some positive changes with authentication coming. I also like what I've seen with the form service.
