Release Notes: Connect Version 3.8.1

Version 3.8.1 || September 2016

xTuple Connect 3.8.1 is now available. This is a supplemental extension package (add-on) for xTuple ERP that provides EDI, job scheduling and deferred report printing. xTuple Connect has two components: the extension package, which gets loaded into the xTuple ERP database, and the separate Batch Manager application. Both are required components of xTuple Connect. Current owners of the add-on may download with their private online access.

Summary

This is the xTuple Connect (xtConnect) 3.8.1 bug-fix release. It must be paired with xTuple ERP 4.9.0Beta or later, any edition (PostBooks, Distribution or Manufacturing).

Please use Updater 2.4.0Beta or later to install this package.

The following items are also needed to use this extension:

  • xTuple Updater version 2.4.0Beta or later
  • xTuple ERP (see the Compatibility Matrix for the required version)

The package is installed with xTuple Updater, an application for xTuple ERP (PostBooks®, Distribution and Manufacturing Editions) which enables you to update your databases from one release to the next, to upgrade from one xTuple ERP edition to another, such as from PostBooks® to Distribution Edition, and to load supplemental extensions into your xTuple database. The Updater reads and processes upgrade scripts or packages, which are collections of files bundled together into .gz files. A full description of xTuple Updater may be found on the Updater wiki or at xTuple University.

The steps to install xTuple Connect are described in the xTuple Connect Product Guide.
