<p>Thank you all for your patience and invaluable support to reach this
milestone. It has taken longer than we originally planned,<br>but it was
necessary to achieve our goal of putting out a solid release. One
particular area which consumed a lot of time was <br>the UTF-8 support and
the related migration issues. The release also addresses some critical
security related issues reported by the community.</p>
<p>We welcome your feedback. Please report any issues on <a href="http://trac.vtiger.com">http://trac.vtiger.com</a> or on the <a href="http://forums.vtiger.com">http://forums.vtiger.com</a></p>
<p>The patch to migrate from earlier versions to 5.0.4 will be made available soon.</p>Regards,<br>Prasad<br>vtiger Team<br>
