This version is a releasecandidate. It is considered stable, but needs user testing before a final version can be released. If you want to help, download this release and test it. Please report any issues you may find in Bugzilla.

The changes in this release are listed below, as well as any issues that you should be aware of when upgrading to this release.

We would like to thank everybody who contributed to this release.

 Disclaimer

Although we deem this release candidate stable (it would not be a release candidate otherwise), Achievo 1.3.RC1 must still be considered a development release. For production environments, you might want to stick with the latest stable version of Achievo (1.2.1). If you want to help us stabilize 1.3 however, please try this new version.

 What's new ?

This release contains many bugfixes, as well as many new features. An extended list is available in the CHANGES file in Achievo's doc/ subdirectory, including the names of contributors for each change.

The major changes in this release are the new modules we have added to Achievo:

- Quotation module
Module for managing quotations

- Document manager module
Module for adding documents to projects or organizations

- CRM module
Module that adds some CRM features to the organization/contacts (see the new sales menu).

Also we rewrote the scheduler module (with recurring events finally) and updated the todo module.

 Upgrade notes

When upgrading from a previous version of Achievo, a database patch is necessary. The Achievo setup.php script can take care of this. After upgrading the software, go to the setup.php script in your Achievo directory, using your browser. Login as 'Administrator', with the password configured in the config.inc.php file, and follow the instructions on screen. More detailed upgrade instructions can be found in the UPGRADE file in the doc/ directory inside the Achievo tar.gz file

Note: This release contains the document manager and the quotation module. If you have an Achievo installation with the module separated from achievo you can remove them from your config.inc.php.

 Translations

This release contains many new text strings. Not all of them have been updated yet in all languages. If you would like to help update the translations for the final release, please edit the language file, update the missing strings and send the result to translations@achievo.org.
There is a page on the Achievo site where you can see how many Phrases aren't translated yet. See also this small howto on the Wiki for instructions.
