Hi,

There was tons of progress during this week end in Association Subscribers Manager. We are quickly heading to the 3.0BETA1 release and as time pass I think that it will go all smooth !

First things comes first, it is all thanks to all Association Subscribers Manager's translators ! A huge thanks to Daniel Persson who's doing a lot to help me by taking care alone of his SVN part. As a bonus Association Subscribers Manager may be translated in Romanian but I am still waiting for translations files so I'll keep you update.

Now for code updates, during this week end I have made the following fix/improvements in Association Subscribers Manager :

  • fix the bug 2778971
  • finish the addon system
  • add addon management interface to the settings window
  • suppress the blinking in the passive popup windows
  • change settings windows behavior to prevent users to remove items (email, fees, activities, etc.) by mistake. Now all those windows are disabled until users confirm or cancel the deletion
  • add a default account for the update server (oss_user, oss_user_password)
  • fix lots of errors issued at first run (mostly by setting better default values)
  • fix UI bug which was allowing the edition of unselected members (now you have to select a member for the edition features to activate)
  • fix a bug in the postal codes writing code (postal codes files were unconditionally written at application close, now it is done only if there was modifications)
  • and the most important of all : I made a new splashscreen !

All this works leads to 3 important points :

  1. This week end was string freeze date, no new string will be added before the beta release (though I already spotted some error messages in need of modifications).
  2. This week end was feature freeze date. Until the beta release there will only be bug fix modifications, no new features.
  3. I officially call for artists and packagers. Association Subscribers Manager could really use its own icons theme (instead of borrowing Oxygen's ones), and I will need packagers for different GNU/Linux distributions and for Mac OS X.

See you later !
