Reflections on vtiger CRM 5.0.4
May 8th, 2008 by Prasad
Its nearly 2 months since the release of vtiger CRM 5.0.4. We appreciate the positive response from the vtiger community, which has been very encouraging to the team.
We are glad to see the product downloads growing, with over 1000 downloads every day on average.
Some users faced initial hiccups with installation and migration of vtiger CRM 5.0.4. Most of these issues were caused due to incorrect MySQL configuration (specially, sql-mode=’STRICT_TRANS_TABLE..’) or wrong PHP configuration. Relatively few serious issues have been reported since the release.
The forum discussions have been more often on missing product features, rather than issues in the product.
We recognize the need to keep moving forward aggressively with new features. Development is already underway on the next release.
Our development team is making good progress towards the next milestone. We will keep you posted on the next release shortly.

Hi Vitger-team,
I can agree, 5.0.4 is running smoothly on my hoster for weeks now. I’m really happy with the product! It’s fun every day and really helps us doing our business! And I also saw the post of issues going down, that’ great!
I also know, that there is always room for improvement… one of the major things for me would be to UNCOUPLE persons and organisations.
I think that the vast majority of vtiger users is also having B2C business maybe besides B2B. For B2C business your customer is just and only one person (=contact).
Thanks for your more than great support and power to drive the product forward.
Bye,

I am very happy with the 5.0.4 release. It is working very well and has took vtiger closer to it’s goal. With it’s faults, it is a very good product.
Although there are many things that you can add to the next release the only thing I would like to ask for is to not have to translate the customer portal again. PLEASE before starting any development on the Customer Portal have a look at the work we have done translating. We have only eliminated the hard coded strings and added language selection. There is no change in functionality so you could easily update and start your improvements from there.
Thanks for your hard work.
