December 2020 in iDempiere

December 2020 was a great month in the iDempiere project! There were many contributions from our supportive community. Here we highlight those contributions that were outstanding.

iDempiere 8.2 “Phong” is here! Carlos Ruiz And Heng Sin worked hard during December to stabilize and prepare the release of the new version. Thanks to all the community who helped with commits, testing, reporting issues, and migrating during this time, it couldn’t be possible without the active participation of everyone.

Additionally, during December there was a call for the community to support the project through the contribution of servers as we had to move away from AWS because they decided to end the sponsorship of the project unilaterally. Thankfully, many people responded to the call and now we have servers hosted by the community, especially thanks to Murilo Habermann and Marco Longo for their quick response.
