20:27 c: Important, Releases, Siwapp t: 0.4.1, release by: jzarate

It’s been a few months since siwapp 0.4 came to light.

Keeping an eye on the users group has allowed us to quickly catch on some bugs. Fresh update for you to enjoy:

Estimates needing to be saved three times bug corrected
The default fonts are lighter than previous, also a wiki section on that topic updated.
some minor template glitchs corrected
error when deleting invoices corrected
error 500 when deleting customer fixed
added hungarian translation
customer name in cyrillic error corrected.

That’s pretty much it!! You the “usual suspects” know the drill. If you’re new, we’ve got a drill for you too…

So, go on, get your stuff and head for new year’s eve celebration afterwards. I wish you a lot of using the app for the next year,

Happy new year to everyone, btw.

Small issue upgrading PHP to 5.3

21:21 c: Important, Siwapp by: Carlos Escribano

Although we are still in beta version, as we said over and over again, there are people who have installed Siwapp on their own server. If you’re one of those people, intrepid adventurer, and you have decided to try luck with the latest version of PHP (5.3), you can suddenly get a 500 error when trying to access the application.

First translation in. Farsi!!!!

05:14 c: Siwapp t: 0.4, farsi, translation by: jzarate

Thanks to the great contribution of Mohsen Ezzatpanah, the first siwapp translation is the persian one.

I just tested the translation file and voila!!! the ui changed completely in a delicious way for my iso-8851-1 eyes.

What can I say?? I’m fairly proud of having siwapp running on this ancient language.

Siwapp 0.4 almost out. Call for translations!!!

13:36 c: Important, Releases, Siwapp t: 0.4, translation by: jzarate

Well, we’re finally there.

Siwapp 0.4 is around the corner. The software is ready for being published, but before we release it, we need to make our traditional “call for translators”. And ask for your gentle help in translating this app.

So, If you’re listening, please throw us a comment!!

New set of fonts. A wider range of character support

23:24 c: Siwapp by: jzarate

Today I just uploaded a whole new set of fonts to siwapp. These are based on the “dejavu” fonts and they have plenty of weird unicode character support.

In fact, this whole thing started thanks to Braulio, from the siwapp users group, who couldn’t find the right symbol for his country’s currency (the colon). He researched and pointed me to this set of fonts, which I think will came really handy.

among other things, we have now access to three special fonts:

serif-condensed
sans-serif-condensed
sans-serif-ultralight

which I think the heavy text users will appreciate.

also, I rearranged all the pdf fonts related wiki pages

PS: 0.4 is almost out. watch out translators!!!!

dompdf and rowspan, our buggy buddies

00:42 c: Important, pdf, Siwapp, Templates t: 0.3.4, dompdf, pdf, Templates by: jzarate

watch it!

when rendering an html template to build a pdf, if a table cell with the “rowspan” attribute is break because a page change, the pdf engine will throw a nice “frame not found in cellmap” exception, as describe here

We’ve already changed our default template to make sure it doesn’t include any rowspanned cell (yes, it used to). When you build your own invoice template, please take this into account.

remember, rewriting is needed

18:24 c: Siwapp t: installer by: jzarate

I just close an annoying ticket about siwapp throwing a not found error after login. That bug has been bothering me for a long time now.

It turned out it was all because of the web server not having the rewrite module ! and it’s also said so in the installation guide specs !

I’ve added a check for that feature on the installation code, but please remember: rewriting is needed

Two updates in a row: siwapp 0.3.4

04:09 c: Important, Releases, Siwapp t: 0.3, 0.3.4, beta, release by: jzarate

In spain, we have a saying that is “my dwarfs are growing”, meaning a circus owner complaining when everything start going inexplicably wrong with his circus , even the dwarfs are growing!!

Looks like we’re putting ourselves in kind of a similar situation here. On the previous version the messaging system was broke because of some stupid small bug.

Anyway, that has given me a good chance to think about some design decisions that we may have to reconsider.

Almost forget: the packages here (tar.gz) and here (zip). Upgrading here
