SplendidCRM 1.2 is now in public beta. The final release date will not be set until we can gauge the initial reaction to the public beta, but it is safe to assume that the final release will be toward the end of August 2006.
SplendidCRM 1.2 has added the following features:
1) Full .NET 2.0 Framework and Visual Studio 2005 support
2) Access Control Lists
3) Reporting module using ReportViewer
4) Preview of Contracts, Products and Quotes modules
In addition to the SplendidCRM 1.2 features, we were also able to release builds for Oracle, DB2 and MySQL on the same day. Not a bad accomplishment if I do say so myself.
All of the database platforms we support are running on a single demo server. The interesting thing is that the server is still very fast even though it is hosting the web server as well as the four database servers.
For those of you who are interested, the demo hardware is as follows:
HP ProLiant DL360p G4
Dual Intel Xeon 3.0GHz 2M cache
2G RAM
Smart Array 6i with 192M battery backed cache
36G 15K RPM Hard Disks RAID 1
Windows Server 2003 Standard 32-bit
SQL Server 2005 Express
Oracle 10g Express
IBM DB2 Express-C
MySQL 5
We would have liked to host the server on a 64-bit platform, but we had trouble connecting with Oracle 10g Express running locally. Dropping back to the 32-bit OS solved the problem.
