> Dear BioPortal support team,

> We have installed an instance of BioPortal to store ontologies for our
> own project: http://ontologies.informatik.uni-bremen.de
>
> Unfortunately, the BioPortal revision we have taken (revision 1875,
> path /tags/1014) turned out to be buggy. We considered to upgrade to
> BioPortal 2.5, but deferred that for three reason: 1) the content
> migration seems to be not that straightforward (according to a mail by
> Paul Alexander) and thus currently to risky for us. 2) The REST API
> has
> changed in BioPortal 2.5, but our partners rely on the REST API of our
> current BioPortal. 3) Our main developer, Slava, who takes care for
> the
> BioPortal installation figured out that some (for us fundamental) bug
> apparently hasn't been fixed in the latest version: RESTful DELETE and
> PUT does not work.
>
> Slava says that to fix this bug is very easy and so he did it on a
> local
> installation. But there are some other bugs that we haven't yet
> identified. We came to the decision that the best solution for us is
> to
> check out the stablest BioPortal revision that is still close enough
> to
> our current revision (1875, /tags/1014) so that we do not need to
> migrate content and that uses still the same REST API.
>
> Our problem is that we cannot figure out from the revision logs which
> revision satisfies our needs. Appearently, it is even unclear to
> figure
> out to what release a certain revision belongs.

> We would be very grateful for any clarification!

> Thanks in advance,
