7.2 Release Date

I have been testing Suite Beta 7.2 and I like it, but I am still a bit hesitant to put it on my server. Is there a timeline for a stable 7.2 release?

Hi wmelon,

There is not currently a release date but we will soon be releasing a Beta 2. Followed by a release candidate, and the production release.

Can you feed back on all functions you like, which ones you have tested and if you found any bugs/issues?

Thanks,

Will.

Hi WIll,

I know you don’t have an upgrade from 7.1 yet, but is there a “manual” upgrade process so that I can test including my customizations? I’ll point to a clone of my MYSQL Database, but want to test including plugins and other “studio-customized” filesystem changes. Such as drop-down lists.

Hi Mike,

There are several new enhancements such as projects, You may be able to point 7.2 at a 7.1 db but may be missing a lot(quick repair & rebuild may resolve some of the issues)

I would suggest waiting until there is an upgrade path for 7.2 to avoid any frustration, errors and issues.

Thanks,

Will.

Will,

Thanks for your response.

7.2 is a good improvement so far. The new Projects module is a dream come true, but the Email client is still a nightmare.

I understand that you guys are working, or will be working on, a new email client, but for the upcoming 7.2 release is it possible to upgrade the current client to the latest TinyMCE or CKEditor?

Also, seeing that I am testing and customizing 7.2 beta, will I be able to do a smooth upgrade to Beta 2 then RC then Stable? Or will it be a fresh install for each version?

Hi wmelon,

It is possible to edit the email client, but it is not a straightforward process. I am not aware of any changes to the email client for SuiteCRM 7.2.x but will keep you updated.

Thanks,

Will.
