Hi,

After much delay vtigercrm 4.2.4 has been released.

This is the first community driven release, so a big thanks goes out to all the people involved in making this happen. Our Special Thanks to MFedy K and Allan Bush. 

This is mostly a bug fix release, but it does mark the first release using the new SVN/Trac system which helps us harness the power of the community contributions and track issues and their fixes so everyone can help out.  The trac system can be seen here: http://vtiger.fosslabs.com

A list of fixed bugs can be seen using the trac ticket system here:

UPGRADING

If you are upgrading from a previous version of vtigercrm first backup all data then follow the instructions for the appropriate version below:

4.2.3:
	- No database changes are need if you are using a seccessfull installation.
	- If tables were only partially created for you using an earlier version please wipe your database and try with 4.2.4, your problems should be solved.
	- To save your current configuration copy the config.php file from your old installation to config.inc.php in the new installation.  You'll also have to edit the config file as follows:
	- change the following variable names in config.php

		from:
			$dbconfig['db_host_name'] =
			$dbconfig['db_user_name'] =

		to:
			$dbconfig['db_hostname'] =
			$dbconfig['db_username'] =

	- If your 4.2.3 installation has previously been upgraded from an earlier release there is one database modification missed in pervious upgrades you will want to make manually:
		alter table wordtemplates drop primary key;
		alter table wordtemplates change filename filename varchar(100) not null;
		alter table wordtemplates add column templateid integer(19) primary key;
