What's new from this week?

- Bug fixes
  - IDEMPIERE-4743 Fixed Shift+Alt+N to save and create in detail
  - IDEMPIERE-4745 Fixes order by SQL generation error
Distro (Logilite) vs core - Follow up - What is a distro? What is a friendly distro? What is a fork?
- We use only the tag "Distribution" in the top makers website to not create a confusing message
- Distro conditions
  - The sources are published
  - "No vendor lock-ins"
  - reasonable close to the core
  - and in general, the rule is the mainline project doesn't actively promote distribution that's not up to date
  - with active contributions...
