ORS 3.5 Pre-Release revised
ORS users - we've just released a new pre-release version of ORS version 3.5. (Pre-release 10) This includes a fix to a pretty significant bug encountered by normal (non-admin) users when ORS is configured to NOT allow regular users to sign up as others. In this scenerio, the users could NOT update their own signups. (Thanks to some on-the-ball users who let us know about this!)
Version 3.5 should be "full release" as soon as we get some more documentation together.
Otherwise, development continues. We've got a NEW version (beyond 3.5!) which allows HORIZONTAL day and week views as well as improved calendar-click action. If you're interested in testing these features, drop us a note in one of the support forums.
Happy Scheduling...

ORS and PHP 4.3.6
With the release of PHP 4.3.6, we found several issues relating to our flat CSV database format. These have been addressed in the current 3.5 Beta release (release 0.8) and will be addressed shortly with a patch to 3.0. Look for these patches in the "Files" section of our SourceForge site.
On a related note, we are just about ready to give Version 3.5 a big hug and send it out into the world to stand on its own. There are so many great new features and improvements, it is hard to know where to start, but the most important thing is that ORS still strives to be a simple, useful resource scheduling tool for small organizations.

Online Resource Scheduler (ORS) Version 3.0 Released
Easy to use, simple to set up, and Boat Loads of features! And it's FREE!?!
Yep, the Share-ware Online Resource Scheduler (Share-ware ORS - http://ors.sourceforge.net ) has released version 3.0 and is quickly becoming a popular solution to setting up an on-line resource scheduling system.
Thanks to the large number of people who have given us such great feedback, and the addition of another developer on the project, we've had some nice improvements in the ORS project. Version 3.0 includes the usual bug fixes, stability enhancements and database improvements but also a bunch of new features including, among other things:
- Forgotten password functionality: user can have a login link sent to the e-mail address on their account
- Configurable color for login and signup forms and menus
- Improved support of resource monitoring (e.g. limit to time range)
- Improved handling of restricted-user signups
- Improved rule-violation testing and hard rule enforcement
- More explicit information given when a signup is rejected by hard rule enforcement
- Testing for invalid user information (e.g. duplicate name)
- Testing for invalid configuration options settings
- Configurable time-block lengths in day and week view
- Logging of IP addresses for security
- Improved diagnostics for installation on "difficult systems"
And those are just the NEW features! Check out http://ors.sourceforge.net/features.html for all the features and a demonstration.
