alpha6 is the last alpha release before the 7.2.0 final release which is due end of this month (November). It can be considered to be the “release candidate”. Almost all features planned for the 7.2.0 release are in alpha6 and we do not expect any more major API or Database changes. (No guarantees, however 🙂 )

Tasklist == Awesome!!

We made good progress on the Tasklist application and you can now do some very interesting things with it. We also improved the invoice demo application so if you download alpha6 and start it up, there are some tasks automatically created for you to play around with. At this point I just want to post some impressions:
