Odoo 20.0 dev — development line

A different statement from the table above. There: the module as published, on a released platform. Here: the module’s code with its manifest version mechanically raised, on a platform that has not been released and changes daily.

Status	Details
✗fails	The same code installs on 19.0; on the development line it does not. The difference belongs to the platform. (views_xml) · failed in a file of this module: `product_variant_default_code/views/product_view.xml` · version 19.0.1.0.0 → 19.5.1.0.0, code unchanged · run 2026-09-11 · odoo 19.5 · `modidx/odoo:master-deps-20260910`

This does not say the module is compatible with Odoo 20.0, and does not say it installs on Odoo 20.0 — on a stock platform it will not, until its maintainer raises the version. Why we raise the version

Odoo 20.0 — the branch itself

The same frozen code, run again against the real 20.0 branch. The run above used Odoo’s development line before the branch was cut; this one used the branch, pinned to one commit.
