In the procedures Gavrilo focused on how
the issue of supporting multiple releases
is supported. Issues found in previous
releases must be fixed in the coming ones
as well. The Eurogiro specific versioning
requirements are enforced using GIT as the
natural source code versioning solution.
Nemanja Gudzina from Seavus presented
the work in refactoring the code and
some of the enhancements directly to be
experienced by the user. The procedure to
upgrade the applications has been greatly
enhanced. Most of the upgrade to a new
version is automated, user friendly and fast
and thereby reduces the risk of errors.
