Hi! A quite impressive list of changes in version 8.0.0. ...
But the question from me is: When is it done? We have a lot of 7.2.5 versions running which badly needs an update, but if version 8.0.0 comes in the near future, we could surely hold out a while longer and go for the top of the line. I'm not asking for a specified date but do we have to wait until next year or is it just a couple months or shorter away ? Best regars, Thomas M.
