Thanks to everyone who has helped out and for all the positive feedback I have received. Bug reports and feature requests are most welcome (either via github or by mail to pep at neanderthal-technology com).

PS: This release was originally planned as v2.2, but because of the amount of changes to the back-end and new features I have decided to bump the version number to 3.0. If you have made any local changes to your installation, please check the git history to see what has been changed.

Update 2014/04/09: In contrary to what the README suggests, the minimum PHP version required is 5.3.7 instead of 5.3. See this issue for details and for a workaround to make it run on previous versions.

Last month we have reached a new milestone by hitting more than 1000 downloads in a single month on Sourceforge. This is pretty awesome. This weekend we will celebrate that with the release of a new version, which will introduce major features such as user authentication and history graphs, thanks to several people who have helped out to make this happen.

Thanks for your support, and if you have any suggestions, please feel free to get in touch. Additionally, if you have some spare time to translate this tool into your own language, or update the existing translation, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Pep

Shipping soon: v2.2

Hi guys,

So we are not too far away from publishing a new release, which is, considering the past (averaging 1 release every 3 years), quite an accomplishment. The next release brings several new features and bug fixes, including a built-in authentication system (finally) and SMTP support. Along with that, lots of internal refactoring (think PDO, new module structure, and an upgraded mailer library).

This will be a big step forward I hope, but as you might imagine, adding an authentication system is not an easy fix. Currently I am looking for people who have some time and are willing to help me test the new release. It is still in development and I will be adding more stuff to it the next couple of days, but the user authentication part is finished and so is the refactoring I was talking about.

If you have some spare time, please give it a try and report any issues you may encounter. You can download the “develop” branch from gitub here (or just clone it), extract it and run the install file. If you are replacing your old version, also run the install.php because it needs to perform some MySQL maintenance.
You can leave feedback on GitHub (preferred) or send me an email if you don’t have an account (pep at neanderthal-technology com).
Please note if you run the install script from the development branch, your database will be altered so a backup is always recommended.

Regards,
Pep

P.S. did you know that now there is even a Bulgarian translation available? 🙂
