<p>Hey there,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>First of all, I apologize if my question ought to be posted elsewhere. In that case please tell me where.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I just saw that Midpoint 4.8.1 was released <span style="font-family:"Apple Color Emoji"">
🎉</span><br>
However, reading the changelog left me a bit confused about why the additional check to detect if a user is running in a production-like environment was added and why the decision was made to disable clustering in instances without a subscription?<br>
Adding this just in case: This mail is not supposed to be a rant about the change being bad or anything, I just want to understand the reasons behind it and what to expect in the future.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>So my questions:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ol start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt">Is there a specific reason why these changes were made? I can understand that the generic repos were disabled since they are supposed to be deprecated, but why was clustering disabled in a non-subscribed instance?<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt">I queried the blog, the wiki and the jira tickets but apart from the release notes and the commit log, I could not find any further information on that change, especially not on the wiki pages that explain how to set up a HA instance
of MidPoint. Apart from asking in this mailing list, is there a better place?<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt">Why was that change done inside a Maintenance release rather than a minor/major release? This change is not backwards compatible for non-subscribed instances.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt">Are there going to be more features that are disabled inside a non-subscribed instance? Will there be something a "core" midpoint that can be run in production even without a subscription and additional features that require a
subscription?<br>
Will there be an extra subscription model for people that want to use these features but don't want/need a support subscription?<br>
If so, does this align well with the principles outlined in the wiki Page on Openness and the page explaining the Dual Licensing?
