5.0.3 download status …
June 3rd, 2007 by Richie
It has been effectively 3 working days since the release and we have clocked close to 7000+ downloads. This I hope is just the tip of the iceberg for the 5.0.3 downloads.
The other day, I was mentioning to Gopal that I do not expect 5.0.3 to be a runaway success. I expect 5.0.3 to pickup steadily and then pickup great speed and stay that way for sometime to come.
I think this mode of thinking is more mature than before wherein I expected success at first light. Things tend to take time to happen and 5.0.3 is also in that league.
The good news is that most of the issues reported till now are due to incompatible distros and NOT because of issues in the product. There have been a lot of phone calls for business too since the 5.0.3 release and already Gopal is overburdened.
This is good to have as we had waited quite a long time for this. Gopal had had his rest
now time for him to start losing all the fat that he had accumulated being on the hospital-bed :-)!
vtigercrm-5.0.3 is released keeping the deployments in mind so better to keep the passports ready ….




Thats great, hope 5.0.3’s data add/edit bugs will be fixed in few days too. Without critical bugs, I think the counter should increase higher.
Hey, that sounds like good news.
However that “incompatible distro” thing disturbs me a little, as we have also encountered certain problems with the release (having explicitly setup an own operating system for vtiger, basically following the standards [dist type, version…] mentioned here on the web site). Are you sure that most of the stuff reported has to do with such “incompatibilities” or otherwise is it possible that certain requirements are poorly documented?
