Hello, Geoff,

I have posted a new release yesterday.  Other than
bugfixes, the major feature added is report drill
down.  I managed to solve the two major problems
that I mentioned earlier.

1.    Return path - I decided to open new windows
        for the drill down, so return path is no longer a issue.

2.    Too much concurrently access - Ledger Listing
        is now limited to cover a period < 200 days and
        concurrently access is barred by a resourcelock
        table [semaphore is just too difficult for me :-(  ] .

However, I am still a little concern about the combined
loading of ledger listing generation and other workloads
in an online environment.  Could you give me some feedback
performance-wise if you do decided to test out the
new release.  However, please be extra careful with
the testing, especially the resourcelock table.  If somehow
you got stuck, the resourcelock can be released by,

UPDATE resourcelock SET used_by = '' ;

With regard to invoice/receipt emailing, I thought this
has been implemented in the basic system, but are you
referring to bulk emailling of formal documents ?  Bulk
emailing is something that I am planning to work on soon.
It should be useful for Robert too for sending out monthly
rental invoices.

The other question about breaking away from phpgroupware
is a big decision.  There are pros and cons about it.  I am not
sure about the answer yet.  However, this is definitely something
to think about in the median future.

Thanks for all the suggestions.  I am sorry that I forgot to
put in an acknowledgement for your contributions when
releasing v.0.1.1.  I hope you don't mind.

Cheers,
CK
