Hi everyone
We are happy to announce the SuiteCRM 7.9 beta release (NOW Release Candidate) and the upcoming SuiteCRM 7.9 highlights. This thread will be a combination of what is upcoming in SuiteCRM 7.9 and what functionalities are available in the beta & Release Candidate release.
As this is a beta & Releaset Candidate release we highly discourage using these packages on a production environment! The aim of this thread is to allow users to discuss and provide feedback on the features specific to SuiteCRM 7.9 and wish to ask questions about those features. We will update this thread with each beta/release candidate to provide the latest of what to expect and hopefully maintain all the feedback in one place.
