> - *Time control *- an advanced module that helps to control working
> time and is integrated with other processes.

> - *Tag Cloud* - new tag mechanisms were added.
> - *Passwords *- a very useful module for password
> management (especially useful for companies with support services).

> particular modules (which have this summary).

> Lead to Organization was improved. The system is by default oriented toward
> B2B than toward B2C like it was before.

> optimization was done and we have plans to redevelop more functions in the
> future).
> - Changes of relation types (1:M, 1:1, M:M) within many modules so

> - All address fields were changed within all modules that have
> these fields and the mechanisms that copy addresses were improved.
> - Charts were added to the modules responsible for the most
> important processes.
> - Relation between a project milestone and a project task was added
> as well as a function enabling a task creation.
> - Summary views were modified and developed by adding new
> information and tools.
> 6. Changes within standard tools
> - Change of field's height for a "Terms & Conditions" tool.
> - Isolation of all records from sharing profile to a separate
> module - "Access to records".
> - Allowed number of columns in widgets (in the virtual desk) was
> changed from 2 to 5.
> 7. Changes within the engine
> - Changes within file and directory structure.
> - Changes of the installation mechanism.
> - Changes in numbering of the system (Vtiger's numbering is the
> same because of the compatibility for modules).
> - Extra script loading time was added.
> - TCPDF library actualization.
> - Some of the icons were changed (that is only the beginning of
> changes that we plan to introduce).
> - Change of the possibility to check the size of email address
> letters when retrieving a password.
> - Modification of the authorization system.
> - Menu in the configuration panel was redeveloped (we would like to
> modify and arrange the tools).
> - Optimization of several dozen queries within the system.
> - Redevelopment of many tables together with keys assigned to them.
> - Htaccess files were added to directories for security reasons.
> - All notifications coded within files were moved to workflow.

> - A possibility to add uitype 10 field from the layout editor was
> enabled.
> - A possibility to define a filed name and to select a table where
> the field will be created.
> - Each field can have a defined displaytype, additionally a new
> type (10) was added and can be seen in every view, but users are not able
> to edit it because the system fills it in.
> - Function translating filters was added.
> - Helpinfo fields were enabled within the system and a mechanism
> that allows for entering help text in many languages was configured.
> - Directory configuration for sessions.
> - Update of many libraries to the newest versions.

> 3. Our website will be published in 2-3 weeks time (by the end of
> October at the latest).
> 4. Modules that work with Vtiger 6.1 should also work with our system.
> However if they have unused mechanisms then the adjustment and revision of

> you are an author of a module and you have problems with adjusting it to
> our system, please contact us and we will help you.
> 5. At the website a forum, a mailing list (probably the one from
> sourceforge) and a ticket system (probably also from sourceforge) will be
> published.
> 6. We have also performed many security amendments and an optimization
> of queries for the database, more information will be soon available at our
> website.

> *Why do we use SVN?*
>
> We have been working on SVN for many years and we are satisfied with it.
> At the moment, we don't see any advantages of GIT. We do understand all the
> positive comments that can be found on the Internet, but in practice, GIT
> won't increase working performance so we decided to stick with SVN. If the
> community develops YetiForce dynamically and expects from us to use GIT,
> then we will be eager to adapt to the needs.
>
> *Information about the BETA version*
>
> In our opinion, it's not a beta version, but a strong RC version. We are
> continuously searching for errors and if we find any, they are fixed at
> once. Several dozen companies in Poland use this system in production. The
> latest version of the system will be available at: htpps://
> test.yetiforce.com.
>
> *Future plans to develop the system *
>
> 1. Code refactoring - in particular in some of the modules: OSS PDF,
> Google Sync, Calendar, OSS Menu etc.
> 2. Adding Marketing Automation.
> 3. Improvement of processes.
> 4. Adding new tools for administrators.
> 5. Developing a comprehensive documentation for users and
> administrators. Currently, we have about 100 articles and each day we add
> something new.
> 6. Security audit (white & black box) performed with our own tools
> (Acunetix) as well as by an outsourced company.
>
> *Summary*
>
> All the work that you can see within the system has been performed during
> the past three months. We used some of the modules we had in our
> collection. We are planning to add about 30 wonderful functions, which
> after their development and adjustment to YetiForce, will be its
> inseparable part and will significantly simplify users' work and shorten
> the time required to compete tasks. New revolutionary tools open the door
> to completely new opportunities and we hope that YetiForce will be the wind
> of change in the world of CRM systems.
