    @Cullen Lowe  Saw you asked on the Sage Community about "release notes".  These are from Sage and a presentation they gave at 90Minds, then for the BPAC Meeting recently (I believe; I did not attend that meeting).  They are still marked as Confidential and not for Distribution.  PDF Attached.

    A similar list of expected new features is available in the Sage KB which does not require login  - https://us-kb.sage.com/portal/app/portlets/results/viewsolution.jsp?solutionid=224924350056080&page=1&position=0&q=release%20schedule


    I've been sharing this with end users when they ask with the typical "subject to change" caveat

    Thanks @Wayne Schulz, I did see that, but that really doesn't have much info, does it?

    I also see where many ideas on the completed ideas site have a " Status changed 20 days ago" notation - most saying they are added to 2025* (or Payroll 2.25.1), which I think provides a bit more clarity.

    *some say "This is planned for the 2025 Release, scheduled for April 2025", so I guess we'll see.

    Back stateside after birthday week in Germany.  Sage advertisements kept popping up in German on my cell phone.  Wonder why this doesn't happen in the US of A?

    Apparently, 2025 has not bee released yet?

    Happy Birthday @Jeff Schwenk, hope Germany was  "Das macht Spaß!"  No v2025 release yet, but heard on Sage Community Hub, before the end of the month.

    Does anyone install this without PU1?  I'm in the habit of always waiting for the first bug fix

    Typically, our policy is to wait until PU1 comes out before upgrading most clients. However, this year we are in uncharted territory since rumor has it that PU1 is scheduled for August. I would take that to mean that it will probably be released August 31st.  That just seems like a long wait.  

     

    My best guess is that we will begin by installing 2025 for new sales and dip our toes in the water with upgrades for smaller clients even before PU1 is released.  Usually, we can upgrade clients with just core modules first; however, this upgrade includes expanded invoice numbers in AR; even smaller clients could be impacted if there are any potholes in the road.

    @Doug Higgs, we rarely install a new version before PU 1 is released. Maybe if there is some compelling reason, but your client ends up being a secondary beta tester - is that a gamma tester? 

    Did you see there's already a hotfix? I guess they found an "issue where the UPC/EAN Alias Item is deleted when a change is made in Item Maintenance."

    Thanks for the heads up, @Jeff Schwenk.

    Never deploy a .0 release for upgrades. New install only.

    I will install prior to PU1 if there are no third-party enhancements. By the time you get done waiting for PU1 you're second guessing whether to wait for the next major release because third-parties typically aren't ready by PU1 so you have another 1-3 months. It's like being on a treadmill with these releases.

    I will install it here at the World Headquarters today or tomorrow. It is a pure vanilla installation, so it is low-risk. I will probably dip the client's toe in the water starting in June (vanilla only or low-risk enhancements (e.g., DSD cash basis). I will also ramp up the 64-bit installs.

    Doug – We have had enough arrows in our backs from being pioneers installing a .0 release, that we now always wait for the PU1 release.  Always.

    Agree 100% with all the posts here, thanks folks.

    Curious, if it's appropriate to go off on a bit of a tangent, what is to be made of the fact that the 2025 SPM mentions MS Server 2025 (not surprising), but the 2024 SPM has not been updated to support Server 2025 - only goes up to Server 2022. In the past Sage was really slow to go back and update with newer O/Ss - a big bone of contention when I was manning the phones on the Tools Team back then. But lately they've been doing much better.

    What's new in v2025.

    Sage Intelligence Reporting version 8.0 is now available with the Sage 100 2025 release.

    I do not see any information on this.  Has anyone found a document?

    Crystal Reports Runtime Update
    The Crystal Reports Runtime 64-bit and 32-bit will be updated when installing Sage 100 2025 server or workstation on a machine that has all current prerequisites. This update includes security enhancements, compatibility, performance improvements, and new features.

    This chugs when installing the client.  On my next WKSetup, I am going to delete these two via the control panel to determine which is faster.
