Summary

A number of bugs have been fixed since the xTuple ERP+CRM 4.10.0 release.

Note: You will need PostgreSQL 9.3, 9.4, or 9.5 to use this release, with the following two PostgreSQL extensions:

  • plv8 — See our GitHub wiki for more information on how to install plv8 and a blog post describing plv8 and why we introduced this new dependency
  • ossp-uuid — If you built PostgreSQL from source code, you might have to rebuild it. Make sure to include the --with-ossp-uuid option for the configure command. See our instructions for building PostgreSQL for details. These need to be installed on the database server, not client machines.

What’s Next?

xTuple has already started work on xTuple ERP+CRM version 4.11.0. The primary focus for the 4.11.0 development cycle will be performance improvements throughout the Desktop Client. xTuple has identified a number of bottlenecks in the application and is working hard to remove them. In addition to these speed increases, we will continue moving more Workflow Management features into the Desktop Client and rework Inventory transactions to support a new native mobile app for Inventory.
