Galette 0.7.2: AFUL sponsored!

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.

Galette 0.7.1: Mum, that burns!

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:
https://bugs.galette.eu/versions/30

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:

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

Galette 0.63x : EOL & security update

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 ;)

Galette 0.7, and much more

Galette 0.7 was on the road for some time now. Bugs and tasks announced for this version are fixed; older versions migration works also.

So, this is with a real pleasure that I inform you of the New Galette's version 0.7 release :-) For the occasion, the project has been freshened up (new website, new documentation, new bug and tasks tracker, use of Git instead of Subversion).

You can get this release at:
https://galette.eu/download/archives/galette-0.7.0.tar.bz2

Numerous functionnalities and changes have been made for this release, some problems may have slipped through our vigilance, feel free to report them using Galette's trackers|https://bugs.galette.eu/projects/galette/]!

A most complete list of Galette 0.7 new functionnalities is available on the documentation.

If you are updating, make sure to backup your data ; I do not have any old Galette installations, so I cannot test much upgrades scripts.

Galette's documentation also has been rewritten.
The user guide is not yet ended, and I unfortunately can not spend more time to take care of that for now (by the way, if you're interested in helping with that, I'll not say no); on the other hand, installation manual is up-to-date:

Galette 0.7 brings the ability to add functionality using additional plugins.

On a more technical note, developper's guide was born for this new release :-)

Old documentation will be gracefully retired, until that, please be carefull not to get the wrong one ;)

A big thank you to everyone who participated in this release! :-)
