Hi,
I'm happy to announce the availability of a new ERP5 Live CD:
http://torrent.erp5.org/erp5-1.0rc8.iso.torrent
Before starting to download, be careful: the Live CD has now a size > 650 Mb.
You need a 700 Mb CD-R to burn it.
This version, even numbered as new "Release Candidate" (1.0rc8), is a big
update. The previous release (1.0rc7) was based on a Mandriva 10.1. This new
one is based on a Mandriva 2006: this mean more hardware support thanks to
the kernel update (2.6.8 to 2.6.12).
=======
Changelog:
We added some new features in this release:
* Timer Service zope product: no need of zope_tic_loop anymore.
* Pluggable Auth Service manage complex security and rights based on
multiple user parameters (place of work, function, etc...).
* LDAP support for user management in Pluggable Auth Service.
* ERP5Security added: a plugin to Pluggable Auth Service, to manage roles,
groups and users in ERP5. It also add fine security management features to
ERP5.
* ERP5OOo added: General purpose tools to parse and handle Open Office v1.x
documents in ERP5.
* Better support of image & files in ERP5 objects.
* Webdav support in ERP5 for easy drag & drop (try it on persons and
organisations !).
* The cvs update script (the one to get the latests ERP5 products from the
Nexedi CVS) take care of symlinks now.
* A local repository of Business Template is embedded in the Live CD.
* You can switch from one keyboard layout to another in KDE via the kxkb
applet.
* New zope products added: Visual Traceback, Verbose Security and
DCWorkflowGraph.
* Some services will not be started automaticcaly at boot time. Usually
people don't need about 50% of running services to use ERP5 on a server, so I
de-activated some of them to speed-up start-up. This make a big difference on
system with low memory (lower than 512mo).
* The default "zope" user has all rights on the ERP5 instance (to let him
perform all tasks).
* Add autologin when using desktop shortcuts to make life easier.
* Accouting in ERP5 was tested during a live tutorial at Solution Linux 2006
and the french localisation can produce official fiscal report.
We also corrected some important bugs:
* Database locking problems resolved thanks to the new mysql 5.
* No longer need of pdftk-emulation thanks to python 2.4: we can now use all
features of pdf-tk to manipulate PDF file in ERP5.
* Newer version of Zope (this restore the "undo" tab in the management
interface).
