On upgrading few more major libraries we will be including them through
composer to support future upgrades.

In the next cycle we will be working on these enhancements.

   - Import functionality enhancement
   - Enhancing webservice api's
   - Few major library upgrades, On which we are looking for community
   recommendations.

Please do share your thoughts on major library upgrades you think that need
to be picked, which adds value to the product. So we can prioritize
going forward.

Most importantly community contribution is most valuable, we are looking
forward to encourage the same.
