@rmehta - I updated production container briefly to v12 - but it messed up everything - modules were not visible (as identified in another thread), and webstore / website looked entirely different with product images being resized smaller and text not fitting in current box… Seems migration from V11 to V12 may not be seamless. Had to revert back quickly to v11 using a prior snapshot of container. For non-tech users like me, I would urge clarification on whether v12 is meant for cutting-edge development or is production ready?..Should one expect migration to be seamless for customer facing end? Thanks.
Will also appreciate clarification if V11 deprecated means no more updates or fixes?
Hello. The V12 looks sleek and more into business type ERP, altough I still love the iconic ERP Next icon, as long as the functionality is the same, that’s fine… Add some nice dashboard with graphics will makes it nicer… just my two cents…
