Invoice Ninja 5 (beta)
-
Looks like the new version is out!
-
Stable v5 branch: https://github.com/invoiceninja/invoiceninja/tree/v5-stable
Current version is v5.0.25
Redesign and new features look nice. There is a migration tool built into the current v4.5.X version. Once the v5 is packed for Cloudron you can ship your data over to the new instance.Note: v5 is now in beta. To upgrade from v4 you need to install v5 as a separate app and then use the migration tool in the latest version of v4 on Settings > Account Management.
-
@girish Are there any plans of having v5 in Cloudron App Store soon?
-
@alex-adestech yes, when they make a stable release (and also a migration path from v4).
@girish both should be fullfilled. See https://github.com/invoiceninja/invoiceninja/tree/v5-stable and https://invoiceninja.github.io/selfhost.html#migrating-from-v4
Migration is only possible from one v4 app to another v5.EDIT: Okay they don't have a stable v5 yet but stable RC's within their v5-stable branch.
EDIT2: Docker version of v5 https://github.com/invoiceninja/dockerfiles -

@subven right, they have release v5 for quite some time now but they don't have a stable tag yet. Even their demo link on the website is still v4 from what I can tell.
@girish No their demo link is definitely v5, that's how I was able to confirm that my issue with Invoice Ninja and Safari was fixed in their v5 version.
Unless they changed it back?You are correct though - v5 isn't yet officially stable. Even their invoiceninja.org site shows v4 as the latest build still. However it sounds like they're real close, so maybe not a bad idea to package it still for those early adopters? No worries if not though, it should be stable soon enough from their email that went out a month or so ago.

@d19dotca I was trying the 'test drive' button in https://www.invoiceninja.com/ (not .org). I can't actually make out if it's v4 or v5. I had the impression v5 looked totally different but this was from many months ago. I don't think we will package v5 yet though, since we don't package unstable packages (if we report bugs upstream, they are usually just ignored).

Hi, I'm one of the developers of Invoice Ninja. Really cool to see all of the interest in v5, we've been working on it for a while now and are extremely excited to release it!
We actually just reached out to Clourdon to discuss getting the package ready for our stable release in a few weeks, they shared this thread with us.
If you have any questions about the new version I'm happy to answer them. Also, any feedback on the new version would be very much appreciated!

@hillel369 Hey, great to see another app developer here and I'm certain you're very welcome! Hope you're enjoying Cloudron too
Great work on v6 too! I think I posted or emailed this a while back but a "compact mode" for the UI, similar to GMail. Guessing the UI framework might already have an option for that it is is in common?

Indeed and we are working with them to get a v5 package out. There is one pending issue for the moment which is fixed in the next upstream release. Once that is done, we will release it to the library as a separate app since there is no automatic migration path.

I have published a v5 package now (this is a separate entry in the app listing) as unstable. Would be great to get some feedback on this.
As the unstable tag indicates, this is not yet ready for production. Also the data migration has to be done manually as there is no automated way to perform this for now.
The migration process is outlined at https://invoiceninja.github.io/docs/migration/
