GitHub Changes
In May, we saw a change to the ‘New Issue’ template on GitHub making it easier for you to report issues to us. Choosing the ‘New Issue’ button now brings up a list of options for the many kinds of problems you might run into and want to tell us about. We hope you find this useful.
What’s New?
8.7
We are continuing to work on the next feature release, 8.7, and aim to have it available in July. This release continues to introduce some of the missing features from Suite 7 into Suite 8, as we draw closer to the completion of levelling up the SuiteCRM journey.
Roadmap
For SuiteCRM 8.8 we will be looking at 2FA and upgrading Angular. Additionally, we will begin working on enhancing the Campaigns module. As this will be a larger project, we will be completing it in phases, so we will be continuing it into version 8.9. Stay up to date by visiting the Roadmap page.
