There's been hardly improvements or new features. Each new version corrects bugs but introduces new ones. jquery is totally obsolete now and so are many other libraries used by Vtiger. The coding standards are low: functions that are hundreds of lines long, duplicate code, no tests and no style standards. Still, I'm grateful for vtiger's existence and I'm willing to contribute (I already do) but sometimes it gets frustrating.</div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Apr 3, 2025 at 11:49 AM Vincenzo Bruno <<a href="mailto:v.bruno@vinsoft.it" target="_blank">v.bruno@vinsoft.it</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><u></u>

community,<br>
<br>
A lot of headache configuring IMAP client in VT 8.3.0, then
figuring out <br>
fields are missing in DB.<br>
<br>
The problem arises only in fresh installs, not in upgraded
install.<br>
<br>
The fields are added in migration script: <br>
modules/Migration/schema/820_to_830.php<br>
but are missing in database schema: schema/DatabaseSchema.xml<br>
<br>
In order to quickly fix a fresh install of VT 8.3.0 we can
manually run <br>
the code of 820_to_830.php script<br>
<br>
PS: Today I find a similar Issue was opened 1 month ago <br>
<a href="https://code.vtiger.com/vtiger/vtigercrm/-/issues/1950" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://code.vtiger.com/vtiger/vtigercrm/-/issues/1950</a><br>
<br>
PPS: VT 8.3.0 is so buggy it must be retired from download or
a bugfix <br>
version 8.3.1 should be urgently released<br>
