Very interesting month! We do a lot of security and bug fixes, we make a fundamental change in the workflow queuing system, enhance the Pivot view, finally support Field Dependency in the Detail View along with a whole bunch of other changes. Fantastic!

• convert vtiger CRM queue to coreBOS queue. For some time now (years) we have been discussing the need to enhance and/or redesign the coreBOS workflow queue system. Almost all those discussions ended in the endless to-do list because of the size of the task until a few months ago when someone throwing ideas around landed on the suggestion of taking a simple path and substituting the vtiger CRM queue for the coreBOS queue. Based on the idea of moving the (very lacking) vtiger CRM queue to the more powerful coreBOS queue, and a PR made by Timothy, I finish eliminating the vtiger CRM queue. I will write more about this shortly.

  • clear imported record cache to increment import record limit significantly. This is an important optimization. I was importing 600K records into a coreBOS. I already knew that was too big an amount so I divided the imports into 100K batches. The first batches would fail shortly after 55K records. I started to look into why and found this optimization. Once applied I was able to import 100K records in one import. I didn't try with bigger amounts because I already had the batches done, but for sure we have made the amount of records you can import significantly higher.
