The current stable release line is 1.10. For more information about older versions, see the FAQ item about supported releases. Versions 1.6 and older should no longer be used due to known security issues that will not be resolved in that code base.
Useful Starman commands.
Using the perl based Starman webserver is the easiest way to run LedgerSMB locally (and quite possibly for production use as well).
## At the terminal, and from your LedgerSMB directory:
### Start Starman
starman tools/starman.psgi
Default port is 5000.
starman -l :8080 tools/starman.psgi
Start with 8080 specified as the port.
Note: some documentation specifies the switch
--preload-app
It has been sugggested that this may give performance advantages in a production environment but isn't recommended while developing.
The manpage has more to say on this.
