We have updated the vtiger CRM wip demo site today with latest 5.1 code which is under development.

The following new features have been added in this update.

1. Web Services API [link removed]

The Web Services API provides a well-defined API for new plugins and integratiion of third-party applications. Going forward we expect this will ease development of applications/plugins around vtiger CRM and opens the door for integration with external applications as well.

Please see the documentation on Webservice API [link removed] and Webservices Tutorial [link removed] for more details.

2. Email Based Ticketing [link removed]

This feature lets you create Trouble Tickets from incoming emails of your inbox.

3. Eventing API [link removed]

A new event API has been added. We have provided hooks to invoke
custom functions before and after a vtiger CRM module is saved.

4. Import Feature Enhancement [link removed]

The Import feature has been enhanced. We’d like to thank vtiger CRM community member Elmü for this contribution.

5. Customer Portal Enhancements [link removed>]

Customer portal has been enhanced to support displaying records associated with Account and Contact as well.
