Using Composer for dependencies

1 Reply

The project uses a couple of open source libraries such as PHPMailer. To avoid having to include them in the repository, we have just switched to Composer to install them.

For regular releases this will not make a difference, all dependencies will be included in the zip and tar files so no extra action is required. If you are downloading the source from GitHub, however, you will need to install these dependencies yourself. To do that, you can run the following command from the command line after downloading the source:

php composer.phar install

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
