0.11 released

Pål Brattberg — Sat, 10 Apr 2004 18:25:41 -0000

This is a quick bug fix release, fixing bug# 928118, "Changing dates broken in step1.jsp" where a user could not reliably change the selected month in the calendar.

Bug was fixed on the 6th, but not released until the 10th due to me being on vacation, sorry folks!

Thanks to Rousse Sylvain for finding the bug and reporting it to me!

Bugfix release 0.10 out now

Pål Brattberg — Thu, 01 Apr 2004 11:09:53 -0000

Last time it took me a year to get between versions, this time it took a week to go from 0.09 to the new 0.10! =)

There was a problem with Roomba not respecting the language change that was introduced in 0.09, but that should be taken care of now.

Also, the directory structure of the archives should be much better now, and all Roomba files will unpack in a separate folder as you would expect.

You can download Roomba from here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=16893&package_id=41129&release_id=227876

Here's the Changelog as well:
--------------------------------------------------------------
RELEASE: 0.10 - "Parlez-Vous Franais? Oui!"
--------------------------------------------------------------

2004-04-01 Pl Brattberg pal@eminds.se
* There was a bug occuring when trying to use any
language other than english. Now you can edit
roomba.properties, and the new language should show
after a reload of the webapp.
* Images and the background was not working correctly
due to these being filtered when creating the war file.

New release available!

Pål Brattberg — Wed, 24 Mar 2004 10:15:49 -0000

After more than 1 year since the last release, Roomba 0.09 is now out in the open!

This release contains a bunch of fixes, many of them from a new contributor, Sylvain Rousse. Among the many things Sylvain has done, adding a French translation is perhaps the most visible.
He has also done many improvements in the code, and has removed many possibles sources of errors with better error checking and better date handling.

Beyond that work, it should now be easier to switch languages, the setting in roomba.properties should really push through in all places, and also change currency symbols etc.

Being a developer on Roomba should also be a little easier now, at least if you are running Tomcat 5 on your development machine. The build file for Ant has been overhauled to use the Tomcat manager application to install/reload/remove Roomba.

A few more lurking strings of hardcoded Swedish and English have also been tracked down amd replaced with localized strings.

I hope, and believe that this release will just be the start of a series of releases of Roomba in the near future. Don't hold your breath, but now might be a good time to join the mailinglist if you wish to influence Roomba's future direction.

This is also the first officially named release, it is named "Rousse rooles!" as a small way to say thanks to Sylvain for his work! Thanks a bunch Sylvain!

If you are not interested in hacking the source, just download one of the binary files (roomba-db-0.0.9-bin) which contains the roomba.war file. Be sure to read INSTALL to find out how to install Roomba on your machine.

The demo site is also up again, see http://demo.roomba.org/roomba/roomba/ for a test drive.

Now, without further ado, here's Roomb-DB 0.09! Enjoy!

Here is the CHANGELOG as well:

--------------------------------------------------------------
RELEASE: 0.09 - "Rousse rooles!"
--------------------------------------------------------------

2004-03-24 Pl Brattberg pal@eminds.se
* Some language-related fixes to make sure
switching lang in roomba.properties is enough
to make the change go all the way (including currency)
* Updated CREDITS and CHANGELOG
* Adding CVS-Id tags to all pages to make it
easier to incorporate changes from other developers
* Reworked the build.xml file from the ground. This
new version will work much smoother with Tomcat 5.
Suggestions always welcome!

Roomba-DB 0.08 out now

Pål Brattberg — Tue, 24 Sep 2002 20:18:14 -0000

This is release 0.08 of Roomba-DB and it fixes some previously known bugs (and probably introduces a few new ones!), adds some new features and is the best choice of Roomba so far for all interested parties.

The 'Settings' page has been greatly improved and you can now update a lot more of the settings in the database directly in the application.

We also have a fix for the everlasting connection timeout problem found when using mysql under linux during several days. It's a kludge, but it's there. You are welcome to contribute a superior solution. :)

A major reconstruction of the database has also been implemented, it had some problems with to small datatypes, wrongly designed tables and some pretty useless stuff. This should be a bit better. Please note that this is NOT fully backwards compatible, and you are strongly suggested to run the enclosed DBSETUP file.

There is also a basic check-out functionality in place. This is far from complete, but it's a start. Any comments on the functionality is greatly
appreciated.

All in all, some nice stuff for you all to dig into and enough for me to justify getting a new release out the door. :)

You find the files for download here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=16893&release_id=112514

Roomba-DB 0.07 is here!

Pål Brattberg — Wed, 03 Jul 2002 21:19:01 -0000

If I were just a little bit more 'crazy' I'd name this the 'Bond'-release, since it is version 0.07. But, alas, I'm not blessed with as much wit! ;)

Anyhow, this release comes quickly after 0.06, but I've fixed and altered quite a few things, so I wanted to get them out ASAP.

There are some nice bugfixes in here, and I've hunted down more hardcoded uglyness in the code. (You'd only really notice that if you're using the english version)

One new feature is the ability to store the client's address. Because of this new functionality you need to update your DB either with the script
in conf/DB_SETUP (Beware! You _will_ lose any existing data!) or the SQL-snippet enclosed in the CHANGELOG.

Still, most of the changes take place behind the scenes, and will not be immediatly useful to end-users, but very nice for developers I should hope.

If you are developing for Roomba-DB you ougth to look at using a personal build-settings file to make the most of Ant.

All in all, this is the best version yet, and all users are encouraged to upgrade to the latest, greatest Roomba. With a license to kill! ;)

This i another bug-fix release, fixing problems with the 'Bookings' tab and updating documentation.

* Added better check for null'ed connection in DBConnector
* JavaDoc update in Log
* Added docs/CREDITS
* Removed docs/TODO. Refer to trackers at sf.net instead

Release of roomba-db 1.05 beta

Pål Brattberg — Fri, 24 May 2002 13:20:40 -0000

This newest release fo roomba-db fixes the saving of properties by placing them in the database. Please make sure you either just add the new table 'ROOMBASettings' manually, or run the DBSETUP-scripts found in the conf/ directory.

New for this release is also the binary release. This release comes with just the roomba-db.war file for deployment, the DBSETUP-scripts and some documentation files. The binary releases are marked with -bin in the filename.

This release also includes the work done by the new developer Paul Boivin. A warm welcome to Paul!

New developer: Paul Boivin

Pål Brattberg — Wed, 22 May 2002 08:50:10 -0000

Roomba has recently had the fortune to have another developer join the project. Paul Boivin is joining the Roomba project, and has already contributed to the PropertyHandler, DBConnector and more.

Paul will help out with the Roomba-EJB module in order to make it a reality.

A warm welcome to Paul!

New version of roomba-db available!

Pål Brattberg — Wed, 15 May 2002 15:06:38 -0000

I have just released beta 1.04 of roomba-db.

This version should fix many troubles that have been along since beta 1.02, notably with PropertyHandler and database access.

All users are encouraged to upgrade to this version. Please not that you may need to run the new DB-SETUP files, but please backup any relevant data first.

Finally some english support in roomba-db!

Pål Brattberg — Wed, 20 Mar 2002 02:05:10 -0000

I have just released version Beta 1.01 of roomba-db. Please see the ChangeLog for every fix that it includes.

This is the first version with any english support.

Please note that I have not finished translation of all swedish terms. I still wanted to get this out, since it may still help some of you a great deal.

I'm hoping to get the rest translated ASAP and will release it as soon as I'm done with it.

I'm also looking at making improvements to the deployment steps for roomba-db since they are just crazy hard to understand right now.

Stay tuned for the next release!
