3.30.00 Release Candidate 1

[Ryan Lederman]

Hi everyone,

We're pleased to announce that 3.30.00 Release Candidate 1 is now available for download from the Members' Area (https://members.kayako.net). The proper file to download is the one marked '3.30.00 UNSTABLE.'

This is the same build that will be marked as 3.30.00 STABLE if no problems are reported once it is released into the wild.

3.30.00 marks a substantial milestone in the life of the product(s). This build resolves 146 issues (see below for the entire list) and includes improved stability, speed and internationalization support.

We are encouraging all early adopters and customers who are experiencing problems with the 3.20.02 STABLE build to proceed with the upgrade to 3.30.00 at this time.

However, customers who are not currently experiencing problems should probably wait until this build is marked as STABLE before upgrading a live help desk.

Please report any problems you experience with this build here in this thread to allow us to better manage them.

We would like to remind everyone that PHP 5.1.0 is now a minimum requirement of your web server. 3.30.00 and future versions will not work on versions of PHP earlier than 5.1.0. See Change to minimum server requirements: PHP 5.1.0 is now required for more information.

The change log for the server software follows; the change logs for the supplementary add-on products will be available soon.

I'm very impressed with Kayako level of service and progress reports. Keep up the fine work.

[jaigupta]

Great news, thanks!

[craigbrass]

Looking good Ryan! Will upgrade everything later.

[AndyHCPS]

Superb news. Great work

[jnet]

Thanks a lot. Let's see what we have here.

I just read all those bugs up there!

Are all fixed in this upgrade? because some of my major issues are not mentioned there!

[mm1250]

I don't see the WHMCS loginshare added to this version. Can you guys PLEASE add the loginshare for WHMCS to the next stable???? It was requested tons times through the forums since WHMCS integration was released.

[supportskins]

You should wait till v3.30.00 Stable is released. It may have the fixes you are looking for.

[arhost]

Hi,

Will the admin and staff area be protected by SSL and the helpdesk (client side) under normal HTTP?

Thanks.

[supportskins]

I do not think that would work. The software extensively uses Product URL throughout the software so if you set that to https you will have to access everything using https.

I guess, I have to edit every template files to get rid of the product URL and replace them with paths e.g. /images/pic.png.

[supportskins]

I think Kayako allows you to override the themepath however you will also have to edit all email templates as well.

can i ask why you moved

WHMCS LoginShare - authenticate using WHMCS API

to version v3.30.02

some of use really wanted this feature

i am very disapointed

[Jamie Edwards]

Hi there,

Unfortunately this had to be moved to the next release (following 3.30.00) we will make in order to speed up the release of all the important bug fixes 3.30.00 will bring. As the WHMCS integration that we provide is working soundly (including the integration-dependant LoginShare), this was inevitably one of the features to be delayed first.

If you look at the roadmaps, you will see that 3.30.01 is near-empty (it is a buffer for any major bugs that turn up following 3.30.00, should there be any) and that 3.30.02 is itself a very small roadmap and therefore will take a lot less time to get out of the door, so you will not need to wait long before this.

Because we recall that this is a highly anticipated feature that people were expecting in 3.30.00, we will do our best to ensure its completion as soon as possible. Being an individual LoginShare file, we will also be able to release it separately (you won't need to wait until the actual release of 3.20.02 in order to receive it). Please stay tuned, and thank you for your continued patience with regards to this feature.
