We have released a new version of PSCafePOS which improves performance for the client and server. It will allow the database to hold many more records without slowing down POS performance.

We are proud to release Version 1.1.2 which adds the following:

[Web] Added web based student management with a bit of AJAX.
[POS] Added ability to add item to order by scanning the item's barcode.
[POS] tapping the credit button will add the remaining balance to the credit buffer.
[POS] Made the "Info Messages" easier to dispose for touch screen monitors.

This release only adds a new utility that pulls student images from Powerschool, to allow users to create a web directory so the images can be accessed via PSCafePOS.

We are proud to release version 1.1.0 of PSCafePOS! This version now has support for Windows for the web server as well as support for Postgres database for transactions. Once again we would like to thank Andrew Schmadeke with Focus SIS for his help on this release. We are in the process of updating our documentation for installation and usage, but please be patient.

We have release Version 1.0M3c which has added a few features like a basic inventory, and has fixed a couple bugs. For full release notes please see the download package.

Special thanks on this release to Andrew Schmadeke with focus/SIS. He did much of the work on implementing the negative credit balance function and voiding of orders in the checkout screen.

I have created a VMWare image that is listed in the download section. It is the server and client setup on Fedora Core 6.
