The process
How a release comes about
What goes into a release depends on requests from customers, contributions from developers and developments in the industries. Each release gets its own development branch and runs first on a test server with a demo environment.
A team from Spice development tests every change. The test steps are recorded with the respective change request. Testing usually takes one month, followed by a week for fixes. Only then is the application built and the release merged into the main branch.
The whole process is managed with a SpiceCRM instance of our own.
Two releases a year are planned, more when needed. Hotfixes can appear between two releases. How Spice accompanies you from introduction to ongoing development is shown in Your path to Spice.
Reading the release notes
A hotfix appears between two releases. It carries the number of its release with a higher final part, for example 2025.02.002 for 2025.02.001. What it contains is described in its own notes.
Breaking changes are changes that can affect existing customisations or connections. Deprecation announces functions that will be dropped in a later release. Both sections are worth a look before every update.
They refer to the change request in the Spice development system. With the number, your technical team and your partner company can clearly identify a change.
With your own instance in the Spice Cloud, you get your own repository and your own release cycle. In your own data centre, you get every release without delay compared to the cloud.
Updates without losing what you built
Your customisations live in the Extension and Custom layers and survive every update. The source code of the core is publicly viewable. What we are working on now is in the news.
