Phew, finally we have a QA validated build that is ready to be rolled out as 7.5 Beta. Hold on, QA validated does not mean that the product is 100% tested. Our QA has unearthed a lot of bugs and we are fixing them daily. For this beta release, we have just made sure that the new functionalities that are added will work properly without major hiccups.
Two of the things that we didnt concentrate on this release are the reports module and internationalization.
We have about 300 registrations so far for the beta build. We will be sending the beta links in batches.
Last time when 7.0 beta was released, some customers installed it and started using them in their live environment. That caused a lot of problem for both of us, since upgrade patch was not be available for Beta builds. To avoid such problems, we have made some changes to the 7.5 Beta build so that you cannot apply a license to that installation.
