0.9.6

I've just released 0.9.6. This version fixes a bug that I introduced in 0.9.5. It was causing problems when setting some combo boxes to None and when creating the species names which could cause the infobox to not show.

I also changed some things in the way the editors save their changes to the database. Now it Bauble should better recover when you get an error saving your changes and allow you to pick up where you left off without too much trouble.

And of course there's some other minor bug fixes and also a good amount of translation updates. Thanks to all the translators.

Download and Enjoy!

0.9.5

I've release Bauble 0.9.5.

This release fixes a few bugs, adds a nice speed up when a search returns a lot of results and updates some translations. In particular there was a bug that when setting the source of an accession it was possible that you could lose the source data completely. Its rare but it could happen. I recommend that anyone using a previous 0.9 release upgrade.

Get it at the usual place.

0.9.3

I've just released Bauble 0.9.3 and this is a pretty important release. It includes the following fixes and improvements:
  • Bauble no longer hemorrhages memory. Now once the application is started the memory usage stays pretty constant whereas before it would continue to grow until it filled up the entire universe.
  • In previous versions you would get strange delays when doing things that required communication with a remote databases. Before it kept making new connections to do small tasks but now we reuse the same database connection throughout the application which gives pretty much everything a snappier feel.
  • The CSV importer is now a little smarter about tables that have columns that reference the same table and when importing boolean columns.
  • Every table in the database has a _last_updated column to record when a row in the table was last updated. Unfortunately it wasn't updating. Oops.
  • Fixed some more obscure search queries.
  • On MS Windows Bauble should now be pretty again.
Download and enjoy.

Alot of work has gone into the 0.9 series and alot has changed since 0.8. Without getting into too many of the details this are some of the things you can expect from the release:
  • All database operations should be faster.
  • Improved stability.
  • Better documentation.
  • New Mako based report plugin and Picasa Web plugin for viewing images.
  • Better everything. Nearly everything under the hood has changed in one way or another.

0.9.0b5

The fifth beta of the Bauble 0.9 series has been released. This will most likely be the last beta release for 0.9.0. The next release will be a candidate for 0.9.0.

0.9.0b5 fixes all the known bugs and is a fully functional release. It should also be significantly faster than previous releases.

There is one major change with this beta that makes it incompatible with previous 0.9.0 betas. The tag table has a new column. If you need to transfer a Bauble database from a previous 0.9.0 beta release then exporting to CVS and reimporting should fix everything. And don't worry, there won't be any more incompatible changes to the database in future 0.9 releases.

One thing I forgot to do in this release is to update the translations. The translations will be up to date before 0.9.0.

0.9.0b3

Just released 0.9.0b3.

This beta version is finally usable for most things. There were a few bug kicking around in the last couple of beta versions that made them mostly unusable but this one has seen a little more action and seems to work alright.

There are still a few rough edges and some performance issues but all in all its not so bad for a beta release.

Get it at here.
