We Take Back. No More New System Requirements For 0.3 Release.

enrique — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 09:36:03 +0000

As people suggested (http://www.siwapp.org/blog/2009/12/new-system-requirements-for-0-3-release/#comment-277) the use of triggers, and the MySQL 5.1.6 or newer as a requirement was a bad idea. Well, today we’ve fixed this. No more specific MySQL version will be needed, and everything about triggers has been deleted.

I think this will ease the installation on many platforms.

Thank you all for your comments and ideas, sometimes we can loose the right path

Feature Requests Forum

Today we launch a feature requests forum, thanks to the awesome service of UserVoice. This will guide our future development based on your needs, but don’t forget the main philosophy of Siwapp: “Do invoices, simple and straightforward”. So please, don’t write request out of the scope of siwapp. Everything related to invoices, will be ok.

About the development, we have concluded the Doctrine migration. It has been a hard work, but it’s worthwhile. We are writing a lot of tests, that we think will be very valuable in the future of the development. And finally, we have to revise the template-printing-pdf system. If everything goes ok, I think the next release could be beta. But we will test this version previously in our own business, to be sure that the systems works. So, be patience.

0.2 Final Release

After 3 release candidates, today we release finally the 0.2 version of siwapp. I think only one bug has been found on the installer application, so we can say we have reached the target of this release: the easy installation process.

Some people have reported another bugs, problems, wishes, and so on. Well, be patience… We are working now on the doctrine migration, and we’ll write a lot of unit and functional tests in order to save time in future improvements and refactorings. And please, don’t use it in any production environment yet.

If you have the 0.2.RC3 and don’t want a portuguese translation, don’t waste your time upgrading. The only added feature has been that.

Demo updated

Today we have updated the demo application with the latest code. You can review our last improvements and changes. A lot of work is still to be done, specially on the installer, but a first approach has been done by Albert, and it promises very good results.

The main changes on version 0.2 actually are:

New translations: catalan (thanks to Albert), and portuguese (thanks to Carlos Cardoso). A french translation is coming soon (thanks to Gael).
A lot of fixed bugs.
CSS has been completely refactored, so we can in the future offer different templates and skins.
Some inputs now have autocompletion features. The customers data is autofilled when it detects the customer match. Invoice items are also autocompleted.

As allways, every feedback will be welcome, we’ll be glad to hear from you!

… and continues here

Well, maybe our first post was so optimistic about time. Developing time is always much more than expected, but we are working hard, and I hope we can show a functional demo soon. Meanwhile, we have published a series of screenshots which will give you an idea of the application, appearance and functionality. I think the result achieved is quite good, and we are very proud of our work. We hope you enjoy our product as soon as possible, and share opinions and improvements with the largest possible number of people, this will be the success key of our project.
