What’s In the PBooks Pipeline?

We’ve got some really cool stuff coming in the PBooks pipeline! Probably the most significant is the potential to run PBooks on Perl and Python. This is still a ways away, but it should be ready with the stable release of PBooks (i.e. not this year).

What else?
* Better integration support with other open source small business software
* Packages!
* Improved user management and access controls
* Better email invoicing support
* Updated database model

As always, feedback appreciated!

Pbooks 0.11

I’ve just tagged PBooks 0.11. This version step includes some significant changes to keep up with the progress made on Nexista. The codebase of which is really starting to stabilize after some serious improvements.

Also included in this increment is a rewrite of the XSL templates, which will make customizing the look and feel of PBooks much easier.

Enjoy!

Account Groups

Hello! Just a quick heads up - I’m doing some work on the account grouping functions and pages, and it will probably take a few days so if you checkout the subversion trunk, there will likely be bugs in the account groups sections.

The good news - this will be a major improvement. :-)

UPDATE - The main work is complete. The new setup requires the latest Nexista code from subversion though.

PBooks Development News




Still plugging along here at PBooks, and there are a couple of small but important developments:

* Over 2000 commits!
* Saved reports are now in XML format, on their way to being fully dynamic in the database
* jQuery is doing a great job of making javascript work for PBooks

jQuery Goodness

jQuery is awesome. It now powers a lot of the client-side needs for PBooks, including date selection, table sorting, and more.

If you are interested in javascript and haven’t heard about jQuery, you might like it.
