We are going to run Cobalt on our device, and consider to the stability for partners' development.
We'd like to know...
The official version that Cobalt recommends.
Would Cobalt have a regular official version released? If the answer is yes, may I know the period of the release?
It would be great to know this information for partners preparing the environment for the future development.
Thank you.
The master branch at https://cobalt.googlesource.com/cobalt/+/master/ will always stay close to the internal development trunk. It will be a moving target in terms of stability, but will also see features first.
Release branches are sequentially named, COBALT_2, COBALT_3, and so on. They are named on when they branch, not when they stabilize, but in general it will be safest to port and release off of the latest stable release branch. These branches have gone through testing and released on one or more real production platforms.
Since this is still early days, there isn't a regular release schedule yet, but it is being worked towards. There will be more details on that when plans are finalized.

I am trying to find the FHIR 5.0 specifications and saw that some people seem to be using the FHIR v5.0 server already. According to the official FHIR blog, the specification was supposed to be released in the 3rd quarter of this year (of course COVID could have slowed this down). Could someone point me in the right direction please?
5.0 is in development and is scheduled to start balloting in May 2021. It's not likely to publish as a final 'official' release until Q2 2022. However, there's a "continuous integration build" that shows what the current proposed content for R5 is hosted here: http://build.fhir.org. As well, we produce snapshots of the draft R5 release for connectathons and other purposes so that there's a semi-stable release people can write code against when testing for connectathon.
The current timeline has indeed been impacted by COVID, but it's also been impacted by the appetite of the community for a new release and the ever increasing amount of work involved in producing a new release.
I am new to ODL. I'm using Northbound Networks ZodiacFX switches to learn with.
All the tutorials I read are written on the basis that l2switch is up and working. Without this working I have to manually build all flow table entries to allow basic switch connectivity.
1) What versions of ODL have this feature available
2) Why was proactive l2 switch programming feature removed from ODL?
Thank you.
l2switch was removed in Fluorine, so any version before that (Oxygen would be
the most recent) should have l2switch.
It was removed because the project no longer had an active community. It would
be welcome to revive if there were contributors willing to do the work.
It is important to me to know whcih version of software should I use?
Last or Stable?
For example:
Laravel 5.5 (Stable) or Laravel 5.6 (Last)
cPanel 68.0.19 (Stable) or cPanel 68.1.1 (Last)
There are two options with Laravel:
Long Term Support
For those not familiar with long-term support, these are special versions that are feature locked at the date of release. They do not get any new features but keep getting bug fixes and security updates throughout the maintenance window.
For LTS releases, such as Laravel 5.5, bug fixes are provided for 2 years and security fixes are provided for 3 years. These releases provide the longest window of support and maintenance. For general releases, bug fixes are provided for 6 months and security fixes are provided for 1 year.
Version 5.1 was Laravel’s first LTS release.
LTS versions are popular with companies looking to reduce the risk, expense, and disruption of software deployment, while promoting the dependability of the software. It does not imply technical support.
Framework Releases
Major framework releases are released every six months (February and August), while minor releases may be released as often as every week. Minor releases should never contain breaking changes.
Using the latest release of the framework provides access to not only the latest security updates, but also new features. Updating your application to the latest release of the framework allows you to take advantage of new features and keeping migrations between subsequent versions relatively straightforward. It’s also an opportunity to refactor code to utilise the functionality of the framework. The work associated with upgrading is incremental, rather than the big jump between LTS versions.
If you follow the installation instructions (https://laravel.com/docs/5.5), you will be downloading the latest release of the framework.
As you know Firefox extensions can get broken when newer versions of FF are released, i.e. Firefox makes changes to extension requirements.
Is there a list/resource/forum board etc, that describes what these changes are?
Especially since many of the "getting started" tutorials were written along time ago. now it is hard to know which requirements have changed and which are still the same.
Each significant update is listed in the release notes for developers at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases. This includes information for web and add-on developers.
The best way to stay up-to-date is to follow the blog at https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/, which frequently publishes about changes affecting Add-on compatibility, AMO statistics and so on.
As the question states, I am preparing to deploy my first couple modules on the Magento Connect store and want to make sure I am targeting the best versions. Testing on 1.3 is proving to be a bit of a pain, and if only a few people use that version I would rather spend the time making the modules better!
Google hasn't helped as yet, though I think the keywords I use are getting picked up as other more specific technical questions (Google Base, for example).
Does this information exist? What about your personal experience? For me, I have only encountered installations below 1.5 Community (1.10 Enterprise) for upgrade projects. I haven't personally encountered a client that is on 1.4 and plans to stay on 1.4.
Thanks!

There are a signification amount of people who have older versions and wont upgrade because of the complexity and the amount of modification they have done to their stores.
Most people right now who are on community version seem to be on 1.5 or 1.6, but if you want to test older versions just download from the archive install locally and see if it works for the older versions.
Here is a link to the downloadable versions of magento, in case you decide to test on those older versions:
