Upcoming 5.5 version

by dan.trainor - 2010-01-10 08:58

Hello -

I wanted to take a minute to offer any assistance that I could contribute towards the release of a much anticipated 5.5 version.

As far as straight development is concerned, I'm not sure how much help I could actually be, but I certainly know the ins and outs of SugarCRM enough to do a good job testing.

Keep up the good work, and we really appreciate it.

It's in the works

A 5.5 version is in the works and I'll put a BETA version up soon on SugarForge for you to test.

5.5 Beta

Any update on when this might be available? I'm running 5.5 and would like to take a look at devtools. Thanks!

Kevin

UPDATE: Tried installing this under 5.2k which is supposed to be supported but get the following error when I try to install: Error: PCLZIP_ERR_MISSING_FILE (-4) : Missing archive file 'errors_The following dependencies were not found on the system.[Config]'

Any ideas? I DO have config .5 installed, that went fine.

Question

I was wondering if this plugin was at all upgrade safe?

Thanks!

It is upgrade-safe

by sugardev.net - 2009-11-18 17:29

Yes it is upgrade-safe, with one side note: To remove the Ad in the Admin section, the module overrides the 'index' action in the 'Administration' module. That could theoretically clash with other customizations.

Also, please note that Sugar will not warn you if you upgrade Sugar while your installed modules are not compatible with the new SugarCRM version. This module is for 5.0, 5.1 and 5.2 only, but Sugar will allow you to upgrade to 5.5 nonetheless.

Of course, a 5.5 version is in the making..
