Doc updates

I was just looking over the web site and specifically the installation docs and I didn't realize how ridiculously there were out of date. I mean REALLY out of date. Like caveman out of date.

Well they've been brought up to the 21st century now. If you were having problems installing Bauble before using the documentation on the website then please try again. Sorry 'bout that.

0.8.2

Bauble 0.8.2 has left the nest. This is a bugfix release for the 0.8 series. The main changes are slightly better Unicode handling and fixes for converting geographic coordinates.

The unfortunate thing is that prior to this version Bauble wasn't handling geographic coordinates (lat/long) properly in the the Accession editor. Most likely if you used Bauble to store coordinates for your collection records then they were saved incorrectly and you should enter them again. Sorry for the inconvenience.

0.8.1

We released the 0.8.1 version of Bauble yesterday. This is a bug fix release for the 0.8 series. Though not critical, I recommend any one using Bauble 0.8 or previous versions to update to the newest version.

0.8.0

Bauble 0.8.0 has been released.

Get it at the usual place.

0.8.0rc1

We've released the first release candidate of the 0.8.0 stable series. I'll let this one settle in for a week or two before releasing either another release candidate or the final release.

Also, this release isn't entirely feature complete. All the infrastructure is there but I think at this points its best to get this version out into the wild. We can then improve on it incrementally with smaller point releases. Either way, its still a vast improvement over previous releases.

beta 3 and beta 4

Beta 4 is now out and will probably be the last of the beta series. We will start releasing release candidates soon so stay tuned. This beta is mostly just fixes and cleanups. In particular the Windows installer wasn't working as expected so if Bauble didn't work for you on Window please try again. That's what beta releases are for I guess.

Beta 4 and future versions of Bauble now require SQLAlchemy 0.4.3 and Python 2.5.

0.8.0b2

I've released 0.8.0b2, the second beta release in the 0.8 series. This version includes some interface cleanups that I've been meaning to do for a long time. For example the collection editor has been redesigned and the interface should now let you know what's happening when retrieving big search results instead of just appearing dead. Also fixed some more of the obscure errors that were lurking in the darkness.

This version also now includes support for the datum field in the accession editor. We've also added a private field for accessions which allows you to designate if the data represents information that is sensitive or that you might not want to share. Unfortunately, adding the private field also means that you will probably have problems if you are trying to connect to a Bauble database that was created with previous versions.

As usual there's lots of other fixes and improvements dotted around so go and download it at the usual place and let us know what you think.
