[ledgersmb-announce] LedgerSMB 1.7.0-alpha1 released
Hi, After the merge of the (improved) Multi Currency Support branch (MC branch), we have released a preview version of LedgerSMB 1.7.0. It's not feature complete yet, but is intended as a general sense of direction for the 1.7.0 release and a way to solicit feedback. Note that you should run this version *only* on a *copy* of your database; this version is NOT intended for production use. The full changelog for 1.7.0 so far is included below. The most important feature by far is the improved multi currency support, which required quite extensive changes to the software. As such, this is the feature we're looking for feedback on most. If you need help getting set up to test 1.7.0-alpha1, please let me know!
