DaDaBIK 4.1 beta released!

Posted by Eugenio on 25 Oct 2006

Hi all,
it has been a big effort this time but I'm proud to announce the new release of DaDaBIK, which adds a lot of new and important features that will increase the end-user usability.

Here is a list of the most important:

• Better form errors handling: if an error occurs when the user fills a form (e.g. an URL format is not correct), DaDaBIK will display again the form and point out the type of error.
  
  
• E-mail notices: DaDaBIK sends an e-mail message to some specified people when a new record is inserted or an existent record modified.
  
  
• Previous and next buttons are now available in edit and details views.
  
  
• Also the administration pages are now protected by authentication (if enabled); only administrator users can enter the administration pages.
  
  
• DaDaBIK now remembers the last search executed on a table, even if you change table.
  
  
• It is now possible to choose the number of result records displayed per page on the fly.
  
  
• It is now possible to set an alias for each table.
  
  
• DaDaBIK now uses tinymce 2.0.7 (http://tinymce.moxiecode.com) to implement the rich_editor field type instead of htmlarea. This leads to FireFox compatibily.
  
  
• Rows highlighting.
  
  
• Finnish language is now available.

What's happening and poll

Posted by Eugenio on 22 Sep 2006

Hi all,
I'm trying to perform some tests on Oracle before releasing 4.0 final.

While you are waiting for the new release please answer the poll I have put in the homepage; it's important for me to know the DBMS you use with DaDaBIK.

23/09 update: if you are an Oracle user and want to help during the test process please contact me: eugenio dot tacchini at unicatt dot it

Bye,

Eugenio.

DaDaBIK 4.0 beta and 4.0 beta 2 released

Posted by Eugenio on 24 Jan 2006

Hi all,
DaDaBIK 4.0 beta and 4.0 beta 2 are available.

The main new feature is about DBMS compatibility: DaDaBIK now officially supports Oracle and MS SQL Server DBMS. A special thanks to Claude Moreau (claude dot moreau dot olom at gmail dot com) for the great work he did on the Oracle porting.

Among the various bug fixes, the most important one is the possibility to use the required property with file types: it is now possible without problems.

Why two versions, beta and beta 2? Just because in the 4.0 beta release there was some missing information in the documentation, the 4.0 beta 2 release fix this issue.

You can find the complete list of new features and fixed bugs in the change log.

Bye,

Eugenio.
