[Php-ems-tools-list] PHP EMS Tools Release 3.0 is here

[Jason A. <ja...@ja...>]

Finally, version 3.0 of PHP EMS Tools is available.

The download can be found at http://www.php-ems-tools.com, along with a
new homepage design!

Please be advised that there have been major, sweeping changes. Rig
checks now have builtin capacity for multiple rigs, the roster has been
updated to allow for multiple, user-defined positions and
certifications, and more.

Please take the time to browse through the documentation on the site.

I have also updated the installation script.

If any of you on the list are already using PHP EMS Tools, this release
will be incompatible with the database. A few very minor changes are
needed. If you email me at ja...@ph..., I can provide you
with instructions.

More importantly, if you subscribed to the list but are not using the
software, please drop me a line and tell me why. Most of the changes
from 2.1 to 3.0 were because of suggestions from users, and I'm more
than willing to incorporate anything that you want, or do custom changes
for your organization - at no cost, of course. I am also planning 4.0
already, which will have support for i18n (internationalization). I
already have a volunteer to translate into Spanish, and will be working
with him.

Thanks,

[Php-ems-tools-list] Minor bugs in PHP EMS Tools, CVS nightly builds down

[Jason A. <ja...@ja...>]

I've identified a few bugs in the current release with the help of an
interested user. I'll be updating the code within the week, hopefully.
The major bugs are an incorrect reference to a CSS file in some of the
roster and signon popups ("style.css" should be "php_ems.css") and a
hard-coding of the rig numbers in the rig check sheets. Unfortunately,
the CSS bug is in the released version because of an error on my part -
I neglected to merge the change from my organization's custom branch
into the main trunk.

I should have a new version out within the month, at the latest. I've
been working on some customization for a user, as well as assisting him
with getting the project (as well as Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP, etc.) up
and running. I'll be merging some of the changes into the main trunk as
options, as well as updating documentation. If you require any
assistance, please don't hesitate to ask.

If you find any bugs in the software, please notify me. At the moment,
if you know how to do this (or are willing to learn), the preferred
method is to submit to the Bugs or Feature Requests trackers at
SourceForge. You can also email me, and I will add them for you. At some
point in the future, I may be moving to my own bug ticketing system.

*NOTE:* Nightly CVS builds are temporarily unavailable! My CVS server
decided to lose a *pair* of RAID 0+1 drives (mirrored & striped) within
42 minutes of each other. This brought down the root partition on the
server. All CVS repository data should be intact on the drives, but it
will take me a while to come up with the cash for a set of 18 Gb Ultra3
SCSI 15k RPM disks, and then a while to restore/rebuild the root
partition (and any lost data) from backup. (I'm pretty sure that this
machine has data-only backup). As a result of all this, my CVS repo is
down. If you're looking for a nightly build, please drop me an email
<mailto:ja...@ph...> and I'll send a manual tar of the
development version (also, luckily, maintained for active development
out of CVS).

[Php-ems-tools-list] Imminent Release - version 1

[Jason A. <ja...@nb...>]

Greetings,

I have finished coding MOST of the first release . I have a few minor 
changes and additions to make, and some documentation to write, but it IS 
happening.

I expect to have a release somewhere around November 1st. You can keep 
updated by visiting the PHP EMS Tools Sourceforge page 
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/php-ems-tools/) and checking the news.

I also highly encourage all interested parties to subscribe to the 
php-ems-tools-list mailing list (subscribe at 
http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/php-ems-tools-list), on 
which I will post notices of releases, as well as URGENT information on 
critical bugs, updates, etc.

Also feel free to bookmark the project's homepage, which will have online 
documentation (http://www.php-ems-tools.com).

In order to make this release date, the Dispatch Schedule feature, which 
provides a weekly text report of which shifts have/do not have complete 
crews, and who is needed to complete crews, will be withheld until the 
next release. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this is a complex algorithm 
and I would rather spend my time getting a first release out.

Thanks,
Jason Antman
Developer, PHP EMS Tools
