Decoupling Frappe v ERPNext

1

Hello,

Recently I seen a few Announcements that separating some modules into separated apps.

I wonder if there is a plan to decouple Frappe - ERPnext, so like Frappe v13 can be used for ERPNext v12

TIA

Hi @SubhajitDey,

Interfaces might change between major versions so it will probably never be possible to use ERPNext v13 with Frappe v12 or similar configurations.

ERPNext and Frappe are developed in parallel, so its not likely in the visible future. Many changes in Frappe are inspired from ERPNext

Thanks for your quick reply @rmeyer & @rmehta.

So am I right to assume the release mechanism is remains the same, despite Frappe & ERPNext is going to be separated into smaller apps(Frappe Chat, e-Commerce, Healthcare, etc.) ?

For example, if Frappe is updated from v01 to v02, the other apps must be upgraded as well to comply with Frappe v02

Regards,

Think of it as a dependency. Newer versions of ERPNext (and other apps) are designed to take advantage of new features in the framework. The version numbers are kept in sync as a convenience.

Allowing compatibility across mismatched versions would be a huge amount of work for very little benefit. You’ve got it from the head man himself that decoupling is not likely anytime in the future.
