Hi Michael, The OpenERP 7.0 framework is close to 100% backwards compatible with 6.1 modules, except the web part. This means that models, views, actions should work directly without changes, but the web parts (if you have defined your own web widgets or web extensions) will need to be updated. Of course the API of the business models that are provided by core modules (account, sale, crm, etc.) has evolved like for every major OpenERP version. So if your module is strongly coupled with some core features (e.g. it inherits core views or overrides methods), then you will need to double-check all these "extension points" and update them accordingly. One of the biggest changes in this area is the merge of res.partner.address and res.partner models. We will publish soon a release notes document that gives a comprehensive list of all the functional and technical areas that have received changes in 7.0, and the new features that have appeared. For more details, see also my answer to a similar question on the framework mailing-list: https://lists.launchpad.net/openerp-expert-framework/msg00937.html Cheers, _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openerp-community Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openerp-community More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
