xTuple 4.9.0 sees usability and performance improvements, expanded functionality, and bug-fixes
Business software leader xTuple is drawing inspiration from “Ant-Man,” the newest member of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Version 4.9.0 of the company’s flagship Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) package makes xTuple a smaller, faster, better product, and includes fixes for 164 bugs and 75 new features.
The new features in version 4.9.0 include user-configurable shortcuts on the application desktop, a host of new capabilities for mobile inventory management and label printing, and the ability to manage and sell time- and inventory-based events such as training classes.
“In addition to delivering the world’s #1 open source ERP software and providing excellent customer service,” said xTuple CEO Ned Lilly, “we’ve also long prided ourselves on our ability to tie product releases to Marvel superhero movie releases — with even the most tenuous messaging. So, here goes: Just as Ant-Man can shrink in size, but continue to perform at a high level, xTuple ERP 4.9.0 is better, faster, and smaller than previous releases. And, of course, we fixed a lot of bugs.”

See for yourself. As an open source project leader, and with a company culture strongly informed by transparency, xTuple has long published its internal bug tracker on the community website, xTuple.org.
And yes, with their own product released, a large contingent from the company’s headquarters shared a team-building matinee showing of “Ant-Man” on its Friday release day.
As always, please review the xTuple Compatibility Matrix before upgrading.
