Community vs enterprise editions?

Community vs enterprise editions?

Friday 20 July 2012 10:45:57 pm - 5 replies

Apart from the support is there any difference between the code of the community edition compared to the enterprise edition of ezp?

The Enterprise version goes through additional QA steps vs a community release. So while the community edition will have the latest features, the enterprise version is more tested. I sort of think of the enterprise version as the 'stable' release and community as the 'development' release.

There are other commercial components released with the enterprise version as well, like eZ odoscope (analytics), but those are extensions as opposed to core features.

Thanks for the explanation Joe.

From looking at the downloads section, I take it that bug fixes do make it into the community edition/

Hi Andy,

To confirm, bug fixes are indeed added to the community edition also. Both editions are built from the same trunk with one difference, and that is that the community edition is built each month.

Clarification on code differences: Enterprise is branched off and stabilized over a periode of 2-3 months, where the QA phase is performed, while Community version is always built from master and development never slows down. This stable (Enterprise) version is then maintained, supported and QA checked patches are provided to customers on a regular basis.

Other differences then code are the additional services and some additional features (extensions).
