VTiger developers put in a lot of effort (with help from the community) in the past 2 months and make significant improvements to VTiger 7.1 code base. There were nearly 300 issues/bugs, few minor enchantments as well as new customer portal.

The release of VTiger 7.1 GA/Stable is scheduled for 1st week of March, 2018.

The latest code is already available in git, however we recommend to wait until final-repackaged version.

Here’s what vtiger rep had to say. (for official vtiger announcement – click here)

Dear members,

Getting ready with a weekly wrap is now becoming interesting activity and
I’m glad to see it being received with appreciation – which is a huge motivation.

This week focus was more on addressing an blocker issues and those that trickled during early validation. Happy to see not many fell into this – which is a good signal for release.

But most of our time went into cleaning the stalled issue which were either fixed or invalid (as to latest-master) and those that had very less details or bound to setup of individual server.

Highlights

• 20+ issues we knocked from the bugs queue.
• customerportal addon got stabilized.
• Discussions Forums was upgraded to get focused engagement.

What’s Next?

• We have firmed up the following timelines:
  • 7.1.0 GA – Release to happen in Mar 1st week.
  • Internal validation to resume next-week.
• Further Minor Releases – 7.1.1 (and more as required)
  • Focused on bug-fixes, features, merge-reqs.
  • Development will continue on master.
• Next Major Release – 7.2.0
  • Run smooth under strict enforcement of PHP 7.x and MySQL 5.7
    • Desire to move towards composer is noted too.
    • Changes would be more targeted on the server-side (likely less or no affect on the client-side).
  • Development will be on a separate branch.

Have a happy weekend!

Regards,
Prasad
