Hi, folks !

The alpha version of the OpenERP 5.0.0 is now available for download !!

If you found bugs, please fill a bug report on launchpad.

Even this version is full of cool new features, there are a few to finish for the final version:

• Better calendar view in the GTK client
  
• Review existing processes
  
• Editable gantt charts in web client
  
• Integration with the official documentations (books)
  
• Auto-installer for OpenERP-Web-Client
  
• Some small improvements that will be described later (keep an eye on the OpenERP planet)
  

Hi,

5.0 looks really promising! Screencast is nice, all the blogged features looks nice.

Is there changelog available somewhere? Changelogs in the 5.0 alpha tarballs are only up to 4.2.3...

Thanks,

Kuba

Hi all,

Great! I've been waiting for 5.0. Not sure if what I got below is a bug or not, so forgive me if this should have been a bug-report.

Anyway, my system is Debian Etch 4.0r4, PostgreSQL 8.3 from backports.org, Python 2.4.

Installed the 5.0Alpha server successfully. But when Tiny client tried to create the 'terp' database, some error poped up. Looking at the server's message, it reads:

Code:

WARNING:init:unable to set a NOT NULL constraint on column complete_name of the ir_model_fields table !

Tried to ALTER the table manually as suggested, but obviously couldn't because the table already populated with NULL values for that particular field.

Again, not sure if this is a bug that I should report at launchpad or not. Anyone else got this or I missed something?

Cheers.

This is just a warning, you can work with OpenERP.

If you have a real bug, you can submit it on LaunchPad

Stephane,

thanks for the info.

As for the bug-report, I just don't want to burden the system with 'unconfirmed' bugs. I think not every error is a bug, especially for ver 5.0 which is still in alpha stage.

Anyway, I got the server and eTiny web-client working but during the database installation, I got an error message 'logo' popped up. Clicking "Cancel" got me the Main Menu screen, so I guess this is just a minor error.

However, when I tried to install the 'account' module, another error popped up. This time with this message:

Code:

0 reference(s) to account.group_account_user. You should have one and only one !

and couldn't move on from this point as the system stubbornly refuse to install the 'account' module, without which I can't try the system further.

Appreciate any pointer.

Cheers

When creating new database and use Service Company Profile, there's error messages :

Code:

That's bug or I've done wrong configuration/installation

I think there's wrong menu structure on openERP5 alpha. Lets see sub menu of :

Administration/Modules Management/Categories of Modules

Partners Titles and Contacts Titles shouldn't be there, right?

hi,

i can't find anymore the menu Administration/Configuration in this version ??
maybe in another place?

You are finding as we did that a lot of menues have changed or been moved in v5.0 compared to v4.x. This caused us to have to rewrite 30+ of our own internal modules in order to get them to work with v5.0.

Regards,
Gerry

Hello,

The menu has been remove because at as no se in v5.0. It has been replaced by configuration wizards. All sub-menus of this menu in V4.2 had another menu in the system to access the same ressources.

@greno: yes, this is a problem. But, as you may have noticed, we changed the way to define menus in v5.0 (not giving the whole path, but just the link to the parent) so that we will not have this problem in the futur.
