Good day Folks,

After months of effort and dedication we are proud to announce the release of V.1.7.3 Beta. This version is a great achievement for us as we rewrote +-12000 lines of code that was related to the astpp-wraper.cgi file, which we have now completely removed.  Most of the issues faced during installations and configurations were caused through the astpp-wraper.cgi file. We also restructured the entire code base into a "modular structure" and clean out all unnecessary scripts that were causing load.  We improved database structure by adding ID fields in tables with a focus to migrate completely to a relationship database. Applied security patches to MYSQL DB and GUI Modules.

We would also like to say a big Thank You to some of our commercial customers that sponsored some of their development to the open source community.
