Great site to track OpenFire releases!
-
We've been running an OpenFire server here for years. And in that time, I've upgraded the server more than once. On one of those occasions, we upgraded to a version that was listed as the "latest release" on Ignite's website, but we had no idea that there were unresolved bugs in that particular version. We ended up having to revert back to an older version of the server in order to bypass all of the trouble we were having.
That led me to finding this site address:
https://issues.igniterealtime.org/projects/OF?selectedItem=com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin:release-page&status=allYou have to have an account in order to view that information, but it's free to register and gain access.
This is a perfect way to track the server releases to make sure that you're choosing versions that are 100% bug free. I've also noticed that they've stopped posting "buggy" versions as a "latest release". But it's still nice to have this link I mentioned so you can track the details of each version ;).

there is no bug free version of any software. It does not exist.

Maybe "Hello World", but modern compilers probably mess even that up

Wow, basically shot down by three people within a very short amount of time :D.
I could try to defend my thinking and what I was trying to share, but you guys either already know it, or don't care. Either way, I did my good deed for the people who DO use OpenFire and actually care of seeing version details

It's about tracking known bugs. No software is bug free, but there are known show stoppers or critical bugs that are being worked on and there is the lull when people haven't found things broken "yet".

While those guys all had a point,

This was the purpose of your post.
Honestly I instantly said the same as the others above, there's no such thing as perfect code, but your OP about the tracker definitely nice to be aware of.
