Nmwerp: the free .NET/MONO ERP System / News: Recent posts

The new URL is http://www.codeplex.com/nmwerp

We decided to move the source code of the new MWCore engine to codeplex, because it is much easier and straight forward to use the TeamSystem for source control in .NET projects.

Now that some time has passed by, I am working on some smaller efforts again. In depth it is up to me to rework the server infrastructure. Some of the new concepts:

* Only one central server application for all requirements (gateway and module server).
* The concept of distributable DLLs will be changed to a XAML GUI display transfer pipeline instead. The modules are working with a simple GUI hierarchy, not directly with XAML.
* New module plugin environment now completely based on AppDomains.
* Rework of the event management concept.... read more

Hi!

Nmwerp Alpha 0.1 is out now. This release contains feature-complete Milestone 1.

Only 6 Milestones more to go for first Beta release ;)

With this release you can use the following components:

* Base system with serializer infrastructure (but only at this time on one single machine)

* Server side security infrastructure and security editing interface on FatClient side.

* First "testing" addon contact management as server-side infrastructure and client side editing UI. ... read more

Lately released Pre-Alpha 0.0.3. This is the last step before finishing milestone 1.

The FatClient GUI is now usable and I implemented a couple of dialogs to manage Nmwerp security. I also done some jobs behind the scenes especially enhancing the FatClient infrastructure and finishing general support for planned failover and load balancing.

Hope you stay tuned for Nmwerp

Hi!

I decided to release a binary package for Nmwerp in the current state. So testers can go in and test the functionality in a running system. This release only supports DirectAccess scenario which means there are no seperate processes like AppServers or Gateways, just the fatclient and the database.

Also included is a database script for mySQL which has some minor test recordsets in it.

In this release you can already use the contact management, all other functions are not stable enough. Even the Client main surface is not usable at this stage... but the "server" DLL - backend is already alpha and more stable!... read more

Just a few lines about the upcoming 2nd alpha Pre-release.

The Alpha Pre-Release 2 (Version 0.5 MS 1) will be a fully working 2-tier system with contact management ready to go, but the system will still be naked and may have some bugs. There will be a small binary setup to enable easy installation.

All titbits are there: XML communication layer, FatClient, application server backend, database abstraction, plugin framework, but it will be a release that only runs locally (no application server available in Milestone 1).... read more

just added german documentation whicht covers a short introduction to the technical implementation as well as system requirements and setup instructions.

But as you know... the system is not yet released, so you should use this documentation as a small introduction w/o parsing source codes.

I recently released NMWERP Pre-Alpha which should be used as technology preview (Visual Studio 2005 Project only). It is far away from production use and may still be changed in its basic behaviour.

This Preview includes the full server framework (Server library, interface library, XML serializer Framework, database abstraction layer, XML business facade), the FatClient with client plugin framework and the still empty communication plugin as well as some basic database and XML serializer classes.... read more

Dear community. NMWERP is on the road. The base system infrastructure is already up and running. Management of comapanies/customers, addresses, contacts and bank accounts is mostly completed.
PlugIn Framework (client and server side), server side events, XML serialization and database abstraction layer are the highlights that are already done.

There is still a bunch of work to do to provide the functionality I wanted to.... read more
