@mherwege's comment disappeared?

florian-h05 commented 4 days ago

Yeah, I have also noticed. I however got an email of it, so it is not lost.

@mherwege's comment disappeared?

That was my fault. I tried to make a suggestion from it, but didn't succeed. I hope the text provided gives a good enough base to work with.

Hi, are we shooting to be done with this by EOD July 4th ? (release is on the 5th?)

holgerfriedrich commented 3 days ago

Should we add a section regarding Java21 support? (We basically still recommend Java 17, but development can be done with a Java 21 compiler creating Java 17 binaries as well, or even native Java 21. Running OH on Java 21 is experimental, but possible.)

Release was announced for 7th (see https://community.openhab.org/t/openhab-4-2-milestone-builds/154315/5?u=florian-h05), we need this to be finished in the evening of 7th.

Should we add a section regarding Java21 support?

@holgerfriedrich Absolutely, this should be mentioned!

Ok, but let me first add it to the documentation: openhab/openhab-docs#2325 and openhab/openhabian#1879.

care to spend a word on openHABian? We moved to bookworm Debian release, support RPi5 and 64bit now. I'm on vacation if you need something this week I believe @ecdye can provide it.

Yep, I should be able to provide whatever you need. I'll go review the PR @holgerfriedrich provided.

Of course - totally forgot it, sorry!!

Yep, I should be able to provide whatever you need.

@ecdye A section where you mention what is new and what has changed for openHABian would be great. Just write about everything you think is important and should be mentioned, I will than put it into the blog post. I would propose to put openHABian after the add-on enhancements, and before a section about documentation enhancements, which I will add soon.

ecdye commented 3 days ago

Sounds good, I'll work on that later today.

@digitaldan Thanks for the text, I have added it together with your images to the blog post, deploy preview already updated and it looks great!

digitaldan commented 16 hours ago

Thanks! I'll come back to it with a few more edits once I come up for air over the next couple days.
