In a nutshell: New set of pdf fonts, and support for unicode out of the box (no need for fancy tricking) When building a printing template, now the user have access to [...]

Finally!! DomPdf hits the spot (apparently)
It looks like dompdf is going to be our buddy again. While exchanging emails with Brian, I discovered that the main problem was with the fonts I was using, since they wasn’t been rendered ok, even with unicode disabled. So I managed to find these great set of fonts called “Liberation Fonts” . They cover [...]

DomPdf and unicode support, doesn’t worth it? Maybe yes
Just to let you know we’re moving from dompdf engine to another one that has proper unicode support, so cyrillic alphabet can be shown properly. I’ve tried to make it work. I’ve even wrote a wiki about it after several hours of googlestigating the issue, but it still have some problems and also some other [...]

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

It means that when a figure changes, the database automatically updates the total bill [...]
