Release on ScipioERP

Upgrading from Scipio ERP 3.x to 4.0: a checklist

Tue, 27 Oct 2026 06:00:00 +0100

Scipio ERP 4.0 changes more under the surface than any release before it. Most of it does not touch a project that runs on 3.x, but some of it does. This list comes from the changes in the 4.0 code. Work through it on a copy of your installation, not on production.

1. The JDK and the build#

4.0 builds and runs on a Java 11, 17 or 21 JDK. The source level is Java 11; with a JDK 17 or newer the build uses a Java 17 toolchain.
The build is Gradle (wrapper 8.5). The Ant build is gone.
Components in hot-deploy/ and addons/ are found automatically.

A fresh start is two commands:

Scipio ERP 4.0 is the biggest release we have done. Between the 3.0.0 tag and the 4.0.0 tag, 6,401 files changed. We went through every application, one by one, and asked the same question each time: would we build it like this today? Quite often the answer was no.

Scipio ERP 4.0 is AGPL-3.0: what that means for your shop

Tue, 13 Oct 2026 06:00:00 +0200

Scipio ERP 4.0 and every later release is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License, version 3 (AGPL-3.0). Scipio ERP 3.x and every earlier release stay under the Apache License 2.0, and nothing changes for an installation that stays on them.

Beside the AGPL-3.0 there is a commercial license for the same code. So there are two ways to use 4.0, and which one fits depends on what you do with it. This post goes through the cases we are asked about most.
