James,
The practice I work for is beta testing AC 6.5.2. I know AC is still not forthcoming about future releases. I don't think the do it on purpose, I think they don't know how to handle such a large population of users. I was hoping after joining with Primed, the communication would get better, but.....
The beta testing is going very well. Most of the things that AC would be in Ver. 7 is in 6.5.2 except for the direct billing part. AC is working very closely with us and is LISTENING intensely. The last that I heard was the official release of 6.5.2 would be around April 1. We have found VERY little wrong with 6.5.2, mostly minor cosmetic things, nothing that is stopping us from performing business as usual.
I keep reminding AC about the list of 81 (or whatever that number of fixes is) and they keep saying that are working on them. One that IS fixed is the ability to compress the folders in Imported Items and have them STAY compressed.
If you have any particular things that you want to know if they have addressed, feel free to post them here and I will answer them as best I can.
Brian
