The LedgerSMB development team is happy to announce yet another new
version of its open source ERP and accounting application. This will
be the last release in the 1.4 series, which has reached End-Of-Life
(EOL) status on September 15, 2017; after three full years of active
maintenance. The fact that the release series has reached EOL status
means that no further community supported releases will be created
- except for translation updates when available. Users are encouraged
to upgrade to the 1.5 series which is now the community supported
version. In case upgrades are not an option, support may be available
through commercial support channels
(https://ledgersmb.org/topic/commercial-support).

An initial version of the debian package for ledgersmb-1.5 for
version 1.5.11-1 has been released and uploaded to our apt package
repository for 'main' in stretch. It has also been uploaded to our
PPA, for 'artful' (the future v17.10). (The Debian source packages are
available as well.)
Note that this version of the package does not include
ledgersmb-1.5-apache for the Apache proxy configuration as there is
still an unresolved issue with that but does include
ledgersmb-1.5-nginx for the Nginx proxy configuration. The
ledgersmb-1.5-lighttpd and ledgersmb-1.5-varnish proxy configuration
packages are also still in the process of being added.

I was hoping to work on removing some of the difficulty this weekend but I
think it would be a good to have a full discussion and hammering out of
details first.
As Erik pointed out in the template thread, our error handling is a mess.
In some cases we are returning undef, in some cases we are throwing
localised strings. The undef cases make for a few problems, but the
localised strings mean we have no machine-readable error handling and is
far worse. Among the problems with that:
1. If you want to, say, get the details of a GL transaction, you have to
have a locale object. If you are running a program from outside the LSMB
directory, that is easier said than done.
2. If something goes wrong, you cannot determine what the error was and
handle it.
This is a problem on both old and new code but it is a much bigger problem
on old code.
I think the easiest way of rectifying the situation is to recognise the
code is fairly database-centric and build an error handling mechanism which
largely extends the SQL State/message approach.
I am going to suggest we standardise on the following:
1. We have a particular exception class (maybe an external one, maybe I
write PGObject::Util::Exception). That exception class has four fields:
a) an error code based on the SQL State table for current PostgreSQL
b) an optional log message, and
c) an optional query string
d) an optional list of parameters which caused the error
2. When a database errors, we throw the sql state, query string,
parameters, and a log message of class and method which caused the error.
3. Not found returns undef. If we must throw an exception we use 02000 as
the SQL state. I expect that this is most common in the old code. In new
code we could turn this into a 404 code if we want to.
4. Precondition checks croak with states that typically start with 22. In
new code we could turn this into a 400 error code.
Does this seem reasonable?

Hi;
I have been thinking of what else we can/should split out sometime soon to
CPAN and it has occurred to me that the interface of the templates could
probably be split out (and maybe the mailer too).
Both of these however contain LedgerSMB-specific assumptions and would need
to be rewritten to some extent to address these. However with the
templates in particular, removing these assumptions would help us get rid
of a lot of the CGI assumptions we are currently making. In particular, I
am thinking of the automatic output options which I think should be
abstracted away or even removed.
A major justification for this is that reporting endpoints for my LedgerSMB
API gateway are much harder to implement across a Dancer interface than
they should be, because we assume we are operating in a CGI environment.
I would like to do this for the following reasons:
1. I would really like to be able to use the reporting generation in areas
outside of a CGI web application, and
2. It would be nice to be able to open up additional formats to third
party developers saying "Put it on CPAN and tell people they can install it
like so."
I would like to suggest that over the next major version or two I work on
refactoring out or abstracting away the LedgerSMB-specific and CGI-specific
assumptions to the templating interface, provide a dynamic format
registration mechanism, and the like. And then work towards breaking these
off once this is complete.
Are there any thoughts on this?
