+<h1>vtiger CRM 5.0 Alpha 5: Release Notes</h1>
+<p><b>Date: April 07, 2006</b></p>
+<p> vtiger CRM 5.0 Alpha 5 release is another release in v5 alpha release cycle, which is currently in active development phase. The intent of this release is to showcase to the vtiger community, the significant changes made after v5 Alpha 4 release i.e., changes since Mar 31, 06' . The noteworthy features in v5 Alpha 5 are new user interface for Company Information, Email templates, Company information, Outgoing mail server, Announcements, RSS, optimized the database queries for List Views function in all the modules, and others. In addition to this, we have conducted performance testing for some of the modules using a popular Web Based Testing Software (<a href="http://www.adventnet.com/products/qengine/index.html"><strong>AdventNet QEngine 6.0</strong></a>), which helped us to identify some of the bottlenecks in performance. We will publish the performance reports soon. We thank AdventNet for permitting us to make use of this interesting software and we gladly recommend it to everyone too, not because AdventNet allowed us to use it but because it is really good. </p>
