[Vtigercrm-developers] Vtiger CRM 6.5.0 GA Released

Tue Jul 12 12:39:39 GMT 2016

First of all, Vtiger 6.5 includes just a few changes, and despite that,
it has many imperfections and errors that people report here and in the
forum. Above all you should implement unit tests that let you eliminate
hundreds of duplicated errors, that can be caught easily. This is what
https://travis-ci.org/ is for, and that's what you should do. We have
ready scripts for communication with Travis CI in our GitHub, you are
free to use them: 

	* 

https://github.com/YetiForceCompany/YetiForceCRM/blob/developer/.travis.yml
[11]  
	* 

https://github.com/YetiForceCompany/YetiForceCRM/tree/developer/tests
[12]  

Thanks to that simple solution, when a programmer makes a mistake, then
after a couple of minutes we know which part of the system stopped
working and why. The more we develop unit tests, the faster stable
versions will be released. I don't get why you haven't implemented that
to Vtiger CE, maybe your OD version includes that, but I'm only
interested in the CE version. 

Secondly, start making the programmers' jobs and lives easier, we
rebuilt composer which resulted in: 

	* 

Class names are in accordance with PSR-0 i PSR-4
[http://www.php-fig.org/] [13]. 
	* 

Simple standardized class and file building mechanism. 
	* 

Flexibility [eg. you can move vtlib folder into any other folder and
everything should work properly], additionally you can write any file
without modifying that file. 
	* 

It works faster that the currently used mechanism. 
	* 

It allows to completely eliminate include & require from the code [now
it works in a way that file A loads file B, file B loads file C, file C
loads A & B etc, and as a result one file might be included 100 times]. 
	* 

It adds namespace support. 

Ready solution here: 
https://github.com/YetiForceCompany/YetiForceCRM/commit/824e6e653aeb83be90d93078a36430c1be5aeca9
[14]  - we won't add it to code.vtiger.com, but you or some community
member can. 

You can find many fixes like this one, but there's nobody to add them to
Vtiger. Maybe it could be a good idea to permanently assign someone to
introduce changes to Vtiger CE? At some point you were saying you had
over 30 programmers, I think assigning 2 or 3 to the community should
not do you any harm, it would actually have the opposite effect. Our
company is 3 times smaller, and despite that, we can afford assigning
programmers to develop the open source version. 

Another thing - have you seen what the Vtiger CE project looks like at 
https://insight.sensiolabs.com/projects/aadb38b7-ba8e-48c4-ae62-63b53e48877d/analyses/1?
[Nb of violations: 32668]. Maybe it would be good to start fixing
numerous programming errors, apart from just fixing the reported
errors... 

TO SUM UP: 

Prasad tell us what your actual plans are for the next year, two, or
three. But don't tell us what phenomenal features will be included in
Vtiger 7 in a year [even though it'll most likely appear in 2 years],
just tell us what you wanna do today, tomorrow, next week. Unless you
aim at keeping the communication and community as it is now...

When you publish new versions in GitLab it will automatically appear at demo.vtiger.com [1]. The dev version that is updated let's say once a day, would give you a great opportunity to test the newly introduced changes.
