At long last, the 0.8.2-beta release is out!
Major new features in this release are:
- New modules (Elevated Work, Medical Monitoring)
- Several new reports
- Several user interface improvements (better paging/sorting
in list screens and grids, previous/next navigation when
viewing or editing a record, form fields change colors
when edited)
- Several important bug fixes
- Improved functionality when upgrading from 0.8.1
The upgrade path has been tested for upgrades from 0.8.1.
Should you still have problems upgrading or installing,
please contact me ASAP.
Cheers,
Mattias Thorslund, a.k.a. code_g
PS. We will try to release a little more often in the
future, not least because long intervals between releases
hurts our SourceForge ranking :-)
PPS. If there's anyone out there still on 0.8.0, please
first upgrade to 0.8.1 before upgrading to 0.8.2.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Changes:*
Modules:
----------
NEW: Added a Situation Response Drill module to track
incident response drills on a situation-by-situation basis.
This module also allows an organization to track
participants involved in the situation response drills.

Work, Line Breaking, and Confined Space Entry.
NEW: Added skype status icon and link in People module (will
investigate and include "open" alternatives also).
CHANGE: Modified the database design of the filing modules
to enable many records per physical file. NOTE: This change
replaced the original "filr" module with a new module having
the same module ID. Migration from the old filr module to
the new structure is more difficult because of this.

domain concerns associated with the performance of hot work
activities.
CHANGE: Implemented better roll-up of descriptions for
Accountabilities and Involvement.

and more intuitive interface.

ownership for compliance programs.

modules where direct adding of records is disabled.
NEW: Added module relationship info in a draggable window
(using Yahoo's YUI library), in the List screen of every
module, plus a link to a module's parent module if
applicable.
NEW: Form UI improvements: Fields now indicate focus by
changing their background color (inside), and also indicate
when they have been modified from the original value by
changing the background color if their entire row.

(using YUI events).
FIX: Several layout adaptations in order to better support
IE 6 and IE 7.

grid/list rendering, re-factored Reports, cleaned up
DataHandler somewhat.

trigger when RecordDescription is a local tablefield. This
fixes a problem with "too few" triggers.
FIX: Dusted off the gettext translations functionality,
re-generated the translation template file.
FIX: Fixed PATH_SEPARATOR and PEAR include in s2a.php
(thanks to Zsolt Imre for discovering this)
NEW: Enabled translation of navigation menu items.
CHANGE: Generated files now get saved into a separate folder
for each module. This simplifies the copying/management of
generated files. Indications are that performance is
improved, too.

be found in the system PATH variable (Linux).
