We did it! We completed our final phase for all Infusionsoft users to receive their Winter Release (“18″), which delivers innovative and powerful features for users at no additional cost.

To take advantage of these, log into your Infusionsoft application. Be sure to check the Fusebox if you’re not sure of how to do something and make note of the highlights.

We thank you for your patience and support while we sensibly and cautiously deployed this major update to the Infusionsoft application.

This evening we have deployed our much-anticipated Winter Release to 1,323 applications. We did make the decision to split the fifth release group of our phased release into six. This was to allow us a little more breathing room to monitor and make necessary polishes on the release so it will be exciting, enjoyable and an overall great experience for Infusionsoft users.

Some users have become a little anxious for this release (so have we) … but we’ve made difficult decisions to pause deployments in order to address reliability and performance concerns founds during our QA process. We want to instill the trust and the assurance that we have listened to your concerns about it.

Listening is one thing. Action is another. We did both.

This release will be resuming our normal deployment schedule and we will remain vigilant and on guard for any performance issues. (Really, they are too geeky and complex to explain here.) While the date could still change – we’re shooting to have everyone on the Winter Release by February 23, 2010. We’ve taken steps to minimize issues users will see and are proud to be providing this amazing software for entrepreneurs.

Any updates pertaining to this deployment will be posted below. Thanks for your patience to help us provide better quality in this release.

187.

No, we’re not murdering anyone. Rather, we wanted to let you know that in our next release, 187 applications will be upgraded in our next release. However, we want to let you know about something in it that makes us a little uncomfortable.

We don’t like releasing an update when we know there’s a bug. This is why we want to take this moment to inform you about a bug that might cause some questions (or panic — whichever comes first.)

When browsing a sent email template from the application, you’ll see a scary “No body found” error in the email window — this isn’t true — it’s simply cosmetic and does not impact what was actually sent or stored in the database. It’s happening because the application is not pulling the template from the database correctly.

Rest assured, we have our software engineers on it and researching the cause so we can fix it. In addition, we have confirmed this does not reflect what is actually being sent to recipients.

We plan to have this fixed within a couple days, as we know it’s not comfortable for you to see that — but we’re on it and you do not need to contact support about this. Once we fix this, those sent email messages will be shown under contact records.

Thanks for your understanding as we continually work to deliver the best possible experience for you! We’ll continue to closely monitor for performance or software issues as well so you can rely on Infusionsoft for all your marketing needs.

UPDATES:

UPDATE 2/18 2:00PM: *RESOLVED* We have tested and deployed the fix resolving this. The fix was retroactive as well, meaning the “blank” sent emails now display how they were sent.

We are under way of releasing our Winter Release (version 18) to Infusionsoft users. This will be a steady, paced roll out to ensure optimal user experiences. This post will be updated with details and status of the deployment.

1/28/2010 10:33AM — Last night around 11PM, we deployed an update to a very small sampling of users. So far,  so good. We’re doing more testing until we expand this release to more users. These users were notified of their application update at 1AM this morning.

2/02/2010 6:26PM — Everyone who already has the Winter Release will be receiving an update for refinements. This refinement will noticed by the “18.1″ version number in the lower left corner. No new features from the Winter Release have changed, other than a number of back-end optimizations.

2/04/2010 12:19AM — 112 more applications received their Winter Release update. From yesterday, we did not observe any system performance or issues from users. (Don’t worry, we’ll be releasing it in wider, larger batches on future deployments from this.)

2/08/2010 5:29PM — 1189 more applications received their Winter Release update during this weekend. Our fourth of five phased updates will occur this evening. We have not identified any critical system issues or performance as a result and the release is working great for our customers!

2/09/2010 9:44PM — About 1300 more applications received their update yesterday evening. We haven’t had any critical issues stemming from this release and are confident to continue the deployment to the rest of the users this week. The one application performance issue that people have noticed (and is noted on this blog) is unrelated to the Winter Release and rather the underlying architecture that we have identified and are resolving shortly.

2/11/2010 8:10PM — At this time we are holding off on the final deployment due to a few system issues that would negatively impact customer experience. Once we’re confident things are running smoothly, we’ll deploy to the rest of users. Thanks for your patience!

2/16/2010 8:35PM — After much tweaking, monitoring and testing to the code base, we have identified and resolved the previous impairments that prevented us from scaling our Winter Release to customers. Good news is that we’re finally caught up and will be releasing to another group of our customers. This evening, we will be rolling out to 187 applications. Stay tuned for an update following the release.

We’d like to send a friendly notice that we will be deploying an update to all customers’ applications this evening during non-peak hours. It’s a maintenance release that fixes several customer-reported issues as well internally-found items that needed to get resolved. Thanks everyone for your patience!

To learn of all the details of what’s changing, it’s available on the Fusebox.

Version to be deployed is 1.17.10 — just in case you’re wondering. Your version number will be found at the bottom left corner of your application.

UPDATE: The update has been deployed as of  7:23 PM.
