[Vtigercrm-developers] vtiger 5 GA - Validation Build for Testing

[Aïssa]

I'm ok,
but note :
- Default charset before vtiger CRM 5 isn't utf-8, so all the datas on 
db have to be converted during migration,
- Advertise for translators, we have to convert lang pack (by say only 
now, do not count to have lang pack the same week with 
$naming_convention[GA])
- Becarefull with plug-ins (not sure outlook & word know utf-8) ! We 
have already problem with caracters in plug-ins.
- That not resolve the problem with picklist edition but only with 
announcements, try to add "é" on any picklist,
To be compliant with europe, try your product with accents (ô, û, õ, ã, 
é,è, ï....) & quotes (",') and you will see a lot of problem we have 
here with vtiger CRM.
I may be forgot something.
Regards,
Aïssa
