Differences between CE8 and CE8.5?

Differences between CE8 and CE8.5?

I have used CE 8.0 in a test environment quite a bit and noticed you can't stop instances from processing and some other things.

Questions:

1. What are the differences between CE 8.0 and CE 8.5? Are there any Administration user guides or technical briefs available?

2. What kinds of problems would I expect, from an Administration stand point, of CE 8.5 from Info 7.5? Are there any Administration user guides or technical briefs available?

Thought that I'd responded to this...

CE 8.5 matured nicely, it now supports scheduled delivery to email, ftp and disk, as in SI. There are a number of other enhancements too, check this:

There's a wizard for importing SI 7.5 objects called the Crystal Import Wizard, this will simplify things for you immensely.

Yeah, the Import Wizard is great. It saves a lot of time.

Thanks for your help. This is very valuable information. I am interviewing with a company tommorrow and I just wanted to be prepared.

What I am really excited for is the release of CE9. I have played around with CR9 and Crystal has fixed some major problems with the previous versions and added some really key functionality.

One last question to pose for anyone who might have the answer on the top of their head.

When was CE 8.5 released?
