Openbravo ERP was a web-based open-source enterprise resource planning (ERP) application for small- to medium-sized businesses. The software came in a commercial Professional Edition and a free Community Edition. The free open-source Community Edition was formally discontinued in 2020, leaving only commercial versions of the software.
Product history
The Openbravo open-source project began on SourceForge on March 9, 2006[2], buoyed by a three-year investment of five million euros by Spanish entity SODENA earlier in January.[3] A version 2.0 release of Openbravo ERP arrived on April 18[1], followed by numerous improvements to the software. On January 5, 2007, the company (Openbravo S.L.) announced its software had been downloaded over 200,000 times.[4] By late February the official website for the business and software went live.[5] Since then releases of both the Professional and Community editions have been steady[6], with the latest stable version (3.0 PR15Q4.6) released on April 27, 2016.
In November 2019, the developer announced that it was discontinuing its open-source Community Edition. They added: "This means that Openbravo has ended development and maintenance of the Community Edition of all our products. Openbravo will no longer issue new bug fixes, security updates and patches for the Community Edition, and all projects (and the corresponding downloads) will be removed from SourceForge.net (ERP project and JavaPOS), as these projects are no longer supported." The company instead would focus on its commercial editions.[7]
