Dolibarr 18 Beta (Freeze)

dolibarr It's time to start the beta of Dolibarr ERP CRM version 18.0

All developers and users are invited to test the 18.0 BETA version from github sources (branch develop to get files).

Now the freeze period is started, I won't add new features during few days, until i think things are stable enough to start to work both in branch develop and in branch 18.0 (available soon).
You can have a look on the "Freeze definition" on this page to know what you CAN DO or NOT during the Freeze period.

Because we entered the beta period, please, if you work on Dolibarr code, spend your time to fix bugs and only fix bugs, as much as you can.
The project need your fixes. This is a list of reported issues on our Github bug tracker.

Laurent, Aka Eldy.

WARNING:

Following changes may create regressions for some external modules, but were necessary to make Dolibarr better:
* Minimal PHP version is now PHP 7.1 instead of PHP 7.0
* The deprecated method "escapeunderscore()" of database handlers has been removed. You must use "escapeforlike()" instead.
* The method "nb_expedition()" has been renamed into "countNbOfShipments()" 
* Revert default type of hooks. Default is now 'addreplace' hooks (and exception become 'output' hooks, that become deprecated).
* Deprecated property libelle removed from entrepot class.
* The type 'text' in ->fields property dos not accept html content anymore. Use the type 'html' for that.
* The module for WebService SOAP API have been deprecated. Use instead the Webservice REST API module.
* The method htmlPrintOnlinePaymentFooter() used for public footer pages has been renamed into htmlPrintOnlineFooter() and moved into company.lib.php
