[Vtigercrm-developers] Migration capabilities planned forvtigercrm-4.2.5 to vtigercrm-5.0.0beta1?

[Dhr. R.R. Gerbrands]

Jeff,

I agree totaly, if we don't support data migration in beta we'll never be
able to be sure that you can migrate without any lost information.
For me it would be a no-go for using vtigercrm v5 as I have to much data
myself in 4.2.3 as well for my clients :-(

Regards, Remco

Has there been any discussion of when and how automatic dataset migration
from the vtigercrm-4.2.x series to the upcoming vtigercrm-5.0.0beta series
will be supported?

It would be nice to announce supported (one-way forward) migration of
vtigercrm-4.2.5 (or later) databases to any and all vtigercrm-5.0 releases
starting with vtigercrm-5.0.0beta1.

You might also get a lot of people testing the beta with periodic
snapshots of their production vtigercrm-4.2.5 databases. Expanded use with
real-world data, should be very good for QA.

FWIW, I think vtigercrm should make maximum leverage of ADODB schema
migration features to keep this 'live migration' feature from becoming a
maintenance burden. IIRC Mike Crowe mentioned ideas on the implementation.

Should I open a ticket and milestone it to 5.0.0?
