type="cite">Hi,<br>
I would to share our experience about recent versions of Drools.<br>
We found out that 4.0.6 was out on last wednesday, so we decided to
move up from 4.0.3 to <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://4.0.6.">4.0.6.</a>
We made a few tests but we counted on the fact that backward
compatibility was provided. On friday, I went on Drools website and
found out that version 4.0.6 was replaced by 4.0.4 whithout any more
explaination, I made a research on this list to find out that you had
to make a roll back. At the same time we found out a drools bug on our
app :<br>

</font>We had to deploy our app on friday, <font size="2">so we
decieded to rollback to 4.0.4 to find out that we had the same error.
So we decided to rollback to 4.0.3, I went to the download section of
your site, and found out that previous versions where just unavailable,
which is unacceptable. Obviously, I found it on our SVN, but I wasn't
very happy about this.<br>

Its "unnaccptable"? that we don't maintain free community resources at
our descretion? If binaries are not available for download, you can
always build your own:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://anonsvn.labs.jboss.com/labs/jbossrules/tags/">http://anonsvn.labs.jboss.com/labs/jbossrules/tags/</a><br>
<br>
Or you could pay for priority support and full access to downloads. Btw
the paid version also goes through extra levels of QA, by dedicated
teams, so you avoid this.<br>

Here are my conclusions :<br>
- We are not going to change our version of Drools soon <br>
- Please give us access to previous versions<br>
