OpenIT 2.0-beta3
http://openit.sourceforge.net/

There are two significant changes:

1. Printers has been removed in favor of Peripherals. The two tables
are very similar, so converting from Printers shouldn't be difficult.

2. FCKEditor, the builtin HTML editor, works again.

You may download OpenIT 2.0-beta3 from the following URL:

http://openit.sourceforge.net/

The most significant changes in the second beta release of OpenIT 2.0
are in the tools/setup.php script. There are a few other minor bug
fixes, and the documentation (doc/*) has been updated.

There was a database change between b2 and b3, so upgrade instructions
are provided in a new document: doc/upgrade.txt

There will probably be a beta3 released in the next couple weeks which
will hopefully address issues such as standardizing date/time handling,
removing or completing Reporting, and removing the deprecated Printers
section. After these issues have been addressed, release candidates
will be released until all release critical issues are resolved.

under the tools directory and is used by the setup.php script to
automatically create OpenIT's database.... read more
