We've been very busy here at xTuple as 2010 gave way to 2011.  Just before Christmas, we quietly released xTuple 3.6.0; you can download both the all-in-one installer, or the binaries and databases separately, at Sourceforge.

Lots of great new features in this release, including loads of exciting user interface enhancements such as having autocomplete on all search clusters, the ability to jump to edit list or create new from combo box lists, redesigned Setup menus, and Print Preview on all report windows!  There are also some powerful accounting enhancements under the covers (see John's blog for more on that), and - we're very happy to announce - an enhanced version 2.0 of the free Time and Expense module that incorporates all the features in the previous "Pro" edition, plus much more!

Finally, we've rolled out some major enhancements to the Hosted Demo experience, including - for the first time - the ability to access your Hosted Demo database through either the GUI client or your very own instance of the xTuple Web Portal (including the Support and B2B Sales modules).

If you, like us, have fallen in love with the fictional Pro Diem toys company, now's your chance to check out the Pro Diem website, track customer support issues, and buy yourself a (fake) Yellow Tough Truck online! Read more »

We understand.  You're busy running your business, and upgrading your xTuple software isn't exactly your top priority.  Maybe you've read about some of the fantastic new features in version 3.5, maybe you've even joined us for one of our regular webinar series - but it just hasn't made it to the top of the list.

Please allow us to give you a little nudge.  Through the end of the year we're offering special pricing on our consulting services to help you upgrade your system to the current release.  Depending on your needs, consulting can include site survey, upgrade plan, remote and/or onsite support and, of course, any required modifications to your custom reports or scripts.

You know you need it.  Let us help.

Here's the best part.  The sooner you sign up, the more you can save.  We expect heavy demand for these services later in the year, but we've set up some special pricing to encourage getting started on the upgrade sooner.

Here are the details.

We're pleased to announce the final release of xTuple ERP 3.5.0, now available for download from Sourceforge via the all-in-one installers.  This is a major new release, with drop ship purchasing for distributors, expanded tooling support for manufacturers, basic time and expense entry for professional services, and much more (press release, final release notes).

We're also ready to go with the free trial period for our xTuple Cloud service.  Read more about it here.

If you're upgrading your own database from a prior release, be sure to check out Monique's blog.  And of course, if you were an XTN subscriber, we'd be doing it for you while you went and got yourself a glass of iced tea.  Doesn't that sound nice?

Finally, a hearty thanks to our fantastic community of customers, partners, and open source users around the world for helping make this the best xTuple release yet! Read more »
