Bumblebee Instrument Management System

File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 1.1.0 (unstable)

Notes:
The first developer snapshot of the next major 
iteration in the Bumblebee Instrument Management System 
has been released. The big news is that PHP5 is supported 
by this version and that Bumblebee now uses the gettext i18n
engine so that the iterface can be translated to other
languages with minimal effort. Parts of the code have been
profiled and benchmarked to improve performance; the
calendar view in particular is significantly faster now.

This release is only for the brave and loyal testers 
(i.e. those who really want to see Bumblebee work under
PHP5 as soon as possible). The code has undergone 
extensive changes compared to the 1.0 series and 
new features == new bugs. Of course, you regularly
backup your data anyway, don't you.

The database format used by this release is the 
same as that used in the 1.0 series so you should be able
to install this in parallel to a 1.0 installation for
testing.
