Okay!
vtigercrm-5.0.3 is released. Now what is the next step?
Right now, this week we are trying to set our house in order and see what all infrastructural issues that we faced during the release. We are cleaning up the trac and responding to the forum posts. There will be a team-meeting that will discuss this in detail. I hope to have this exercise completed this week or at the least by the end of next week.
The best part about the 5.0.3 forum post-issues is that most of the issues that have been reported are because of incompatible distros and setups. This includes even the migration issues. We have not been able to reproduce most of the issues mentioned in the forums in our distros. This is good as Mickie had put in lots of efforts to ensure that we take in all the learnings from our previous releases for the 5.0.3. For those who are following the setup advised by us, vtigercrm-5.0.3 should sing!
We are getting quite a lot of business deals and proposals and Don is totally submerged in them! So this takes care of him 😉
This release brought to light the importance of test-cases and automated testing. Minnie is tasked with the testcase planning stuff.
PHP-5.2 is another immediate area that we are to focus on starting next week. Gopal is making me believe that the wiki entries stating the corrections needed to support php-5.2 is enabling world-peace by making vtigercrm-5.0.3 compliant with the said php version. If so, I am a happy man.
Right now the attention is towards deployment-related stuff. vtigercrm-5.0.3 is specifically tested keeping that particular scenario in mind. So this is a pet area of mine.
Business is heating up and the long wait seems worth it! The downloads too are doing well. We are seeing the counts tending towards 2K a day or so. This has the average increased by around 400. Hope that we set new records in download.
vtiger is also nominated for sf.net community choice awards in the Enterprise and Finance category. We had got nominated last time too. Hope this time around we steal the thunder!
Go vtigercrm-5.0.3!
