5.0.3 release delayed

Team,

I am not yet satisfied with the testing and also with the email client in particular. There has to be more to it than what we have. That being the case, 28th Feb will be a farce.

The intent is to deliver the most stable product that we can and it seems to be still a fortnight or so away from us. The validation is yet to complete and we have close to 80 bugs as of now. I was actually hoping for close to 200 at the least but for some strange reason (or that the product has become sooooooo stable) that we are not able to see those counts up there. This leaves a window of doubt and that makes me feel uncomfortable.
I encourage all of you to BREAK the product as that is what is going to save time and money when WE go for deployment with the product. Do take out time for testing it intensively. I do not want to have the vtiger-5.0.3 release similar to the firefox-2.0.0.2 release wherein the quality of experience just seems to go further down the drain. It makes life more bitter ;-(

This no doubt pains me but then this has to be done. We have to keep chipping away all that is not Pieta.

We need to be the best ladies and gentlemen. There is no option here. Else we will keep getting into the vicious quality circle and there will be no end in sight. I, least of all, do not want to make you buy support for the bugs that we have in the product. I had rather, laugh my way to the bank when I see you actively and happily deployed and have you buying support for those JUST IN CASE situations….

I need help in fixing the bugs. Okay, if fixing is not that simple, just identify the bugs and let us know. We will take it up from there. But for the love of God, please provide proper version numbers, logs and the steps to reproduce the issues.

Requesting your understanding and help in this regard.
