First of all, a very good 2013 year to all :-) Epiphany will be a bit early this year ;-)

Exsequenda company (which contact me for one of their clients) and myself are proud to present you this new Galette release. It is the second sponsored release :-)

As a reminder, a "Sponsored release" means that some develpments have been paid via my self-employment activity and reversed to the community.

Here are new features that has been implemented for that sponsoring:

• fields visibility configuration (visibles, not visibles or visibles for administrators only),
• advanced search in all members fields (including dynamic fields),
• login and password may now be not required (default random values will be generated),
• improve and fix dynamic fields labels translations,
• help window editing mails texts,
• public members list pagination.

Fields visibility configuration and advanced search has both been requested for a while, it has finally been achieved! A big thanks to Matthieu who make possible to implement those new features into Galette :-)

Galette's development has not been frozen after 0.7.2 AFUL sponsored version; 7 corrective releases has been released since.

And here is the eighth one, that fixes a performance issue on members lists. As an illustration , below a XHProf (a hierarchical profiler tool) resume comparison; so it seems figures say more than words :p

Those performances issues were impacting:

• members management page,
• public members list,
• contributions creation and edition,
• transactions creation and edition,
• groups management.

Thanks to Anatole from club 404 to report the issue, and to provide me all needed elements to have it fixed :-)

AFUL and I are really proud to present you that new Galette release, which is quite special... Indeed, that is the first sponsored version.

AFUL is a french non profit organization dedicated to FOSS and open standards promotion.

But what is a "Sponsored version"?
A version that contains developments paid by someone and reversed to the community. TThe AFUL has been this someone for the present release and this via my self-employment activity.

All Galette users (who are the first to benefit from this) and I would like to say a very big thanks to AFUL for their participation. It allows Galette to keep improving and show a real, practical example of a FOSS project development! Bravo!

For that new Galette recipe, the following ingredients has been added:

• improve dynamic fields interface,
• the code that manage those fields has been refactored,
• a button to quickly send mailings to late members has been added on the dashboard.

A few months after the last major update Galette has known; the crew did it again and is proud to present you the new Galette version :-)

It burnt a little as it stayed too long into the oven, but it says to be pleasant-tasting :-D

Here is the result: a keen and crunchy new Galette 0.7.1, wich brings its share of new features, like:

• improve installation steps,
• check for required or adviced PHP modules at install time,
• check for plugin compatibility,
• members list filtering per group,
• etc...

Bugs have been fixed in this release, too.

The complete list of changes can be seen here:

We hope that our cooking continue to suit your taste, ladies and gentlemens, just take place and savour immediately :-p

The three most popular plugins, like a good marmelade layer, has been updated to the (unified) version 1.1.

Here are the links, so you can enjoy it:

• Galette 0.7.1,
• Paypal plugin,
• FullCard plugin,
• Admintools plugin.

The most adventurous of you would maybe handle our new experimental recipe, Maps plugin :)

A security flaw has been recently identified for 0.63 versions of Galette (https://bugs.galette.eu/issues/250 - CVE-2012-2338).

Updating your Galette version or the file that fix the flaw is strongly encouraged.

This vulnerability impacts all 0.63s Galette versions. Galette 0.7 as well as current development version are not concerned.

Problem has been solved, and a 0.63.4 version of Galette is available (changes concerns only the flaw):
https://galette.eu/download/archives/galette-0.63.4.tgz

Only one file must be changed on all concerned versions; you can get it here and replace the existing one in your installation (that way you do not need to upgrade the full code).

Please note that it is the very last change on 0.6x series (that are now EOL): development, support, etc for those versions will be discarded,

Galette 0.7 is now out from several months (and the next release is already on the rails); we strongly encourage you to update your old version ;)
