Adding to OpenBSD. Is this a good time now?
by chris＠bennettconstruction.us 19 Nov '24

19 Nov '24

A lot of Perl modules need to be imported into OpenBSD in order for it to be installable. I plan on asking for help to do this from OpenBSD users. It seems like LedgerSMB would now be a good import with all of the development of testing, etc. Are there any big changes on the immediate horizon for 1.5? I'm not running LedgerSMB because of the work that needs to be done first. As a side note, I am working on getting the forums back up, but $$ are a bit of a problem right now. Trying to find a baremetal server outside of the USA that I can afford hasn't been successful so far. I found one, but they charge $30 for remote access for 24 hours. I can't afford $90 a month, which is most of what I am finding. Thanks, Chris Bennett

Release of ledgersmb-1.6 package v1.6.10-1
by Robert J. Clay 20 Jan '19

20 Jan '19

An initial version of the debian ledgersmb-1.6 package version for LedgerSMB v1.6.10 has been created and uploaded to our PPA[1], for Ubuntu 'disco' (v19.04) and 'cosmic' (v18.10) as well as for 'bionic' (v18.04 LTS). (The debian source packages are available as well.) The packages at our PPA: ledgersmb-1.6 ledgersmb-1.6-apache ledgersmb-1.6-lighttpd ledgersmb-1.6-nginx ledgersmb-1.6-varnish Only the main 'ledgersmb-1.6' package is required; the others are related to which web proxy you might want to use and you only need one of them. (They depend on their respective web proxy applications and attempt to do at least some setup for them.) Note that I haven't created a ledgersmb-1.6 package yet at our apt package repository[2] for Debian 'Buster' (which is expected to be Debian v10) as that Debian version has not yet been released. It is, however, expected later this year so if people would like that I start making it available as well, please let me know. -- Robert J.

LedgerSMB 1.7.0-alpha1 released
by Erik Huelsmann 20 Jan '19

20 Jan '19

Hi, After the merge of the (improved) Multi Currency Support branch (MC branch), we have released a preview version of LedgerSMB 1.7.0. It's not feature complete yet, but is intended as a general sense of direction for the 1.7.0 release and a way to solicit feedback. Note that you should run this version *only* on a *copy* of your database; this version is NOT intended for production use. The full changelog for 1.7.0 so far is included below. The most important feature by far is the improved multi currency support, which required quite extensive changes to the software. As such, this is the feature we're looking for feedback on most. If you need help getting set up to test 1.7.0-alpha1, please let me know! Changelog for 1.7 Series Forthcoming New functionalities * Deletion of template transactions (Nick P) * Transaction date now part of purchase history report (Chris T) * UI allows addition and removal of custom `account_link` flags (Nick P) Improved foreign currency support * Multiple rates per day per currency (Erik H) - Reversing a transaction from a closed-period on a day with different rate - Bank transfers with different banks on the same day with bank's fx rate - Migration from systems which support per-transaction or per-line fx rates * Multiple currencies in a single general ledger transaction (Erik H) - Posting an opening balance with all currencies in 1 transaction - Transferring between foreign currencies on e.g. Paypal in 1 transaction * Fixed copying of invoice copies fx rate without option to change (Erik H) * UI showing foreign and default currency amounts in transactions (Erik H) Quality Assurance * Expanded checks and resolutions for schema changes (Erik H) * Testing infrastructure and tests for schema change checks (Erik H) * Ensure correct dependency declaration (RequireExplicitInclusion critic policy) * POD documentation structure improvements, with automated checks (Erik H) * Expanded BDD tests, including payments, batches and approval (Nick P) Dependency updates * Dojo Toolkit (JavaScript UI tools) updated to 1.14.2 (Erik H) Code cleanup * Removed deprecated 'custom table' and 'custom field' tables (Erik H) * Reduce dependencies on deprecated LedgerSMB::App_State (Nick P) * Simplified deprecated LedgerSMB::PGOld (Nick P) * Remove unused LedgerSMB::DBObject and LedgerSMB::PGOld methods (Nick P) * Remove unused configuration settings in ledgersmb.conf (Erik H) * Further (compared to 1.6) reduction of warnings * Implemented tests for LedgerSMB::File(::*) modules (Nick P) * Template engine simplification by separation of UI and printed docs (Erik H) * Consistent copyright notices - with tests - on all Perl files in lib/ (Nick P) * Request handling cleanup by mapping 'flat' POST data into hierarchy (Erik H) Nick P is Nick Prater Erik H is Erik Huelsmann Chris T is Chris Travers -- Bye, Erik. http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP.

MC branch merged
by Erik Huelsmann 20 Jan '19

20 Jan '19

Hi, After discussion on the LedgerSMB chat channel, it's been decided to merge the 'master-mc' branch. This means the MC changes will be in 1.7. Additionally, it means that quite extensive schema changes have landed on the 'master' branch. We're testing those changes with real-life databases to ensure good user experience upon release. We'd appreciate it if others want to join testing efforts of the 'master' branch and the new MC functionality. The current Changelog description of the merge is: Improved foreign currency support * Multiple rates per day per currency; from a single rate (Erik H) - Reversing a transaction from a closed-period on a day with different rate - Bank transfers with different banks on the same day with bank's fx rate * Multiple currencies in a single general ledger transaction (Erik H) - Posting an opening balance with all currencies in 1 transaction - Transferring between foreign currencies on e.g. Paypal in 1 transaction * Fixed copying of invoice copies fx rate without option to change (Erik H) * UI showing foreign and default currency amounts in transactions (Erik H) -- Bye, Erik. http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP. Robust and Flexible. No vendor lock-in.

What should the process toward merging the MC branch be?
by Erik Huelsmann 19 Jan '19

19 Jan '19

Hi, Over the past weeks, we (on the ledgersmb chat channel) have been working to complete all open tasks related to the "Phase 1" of Multi Currency support. Additionally, we have been testing the schema migration code with a number of real-life databases and fixing issues. A number of bugs and other findings have been fixed. Pre-migration versus post-migration trial-balance comparisons have been implemented as migration validations. The branch implements new tests unit tests and BDD tests. The branch implements tests for the schema migration code. The branch has undergone manual testing recently (in addition to the manual testing which happened when the code was written originally). The question now is how to proceed? Would anybody be prepared to jump in with manual testing of the branch and the migration code? Should we be merging the branch to master and find testers there? Should we be writing more tests on the branch before merging? If so, how many tests are "good enough" before we can merge? Or should we merge and develop tests on master? (Which we should anyway...) For anybody interested what it is exactly that I'm writing about, check the comparison between the master and master-mc branches: https://github.com/ledgersmb/LedgerSMB/compare/master...master-mc (statistics: 415 commits; 6417 additions, 3514 deletions, 161 affected files; first commit July 19, 2016; last commit: today.)
