ReciPants Recipe Manager / News: Recent posts

New features: support for Oracle databases, F <-> C temperature converter, Brix <-> Baume sweetness converter, and database connection test utility.

Tweaks: anti-Cross-Site Scripting security improvements, IP address verification in user cookies, ability to connect to databases on remote machines, ability to supply custom database connect string.

Bug fixes: date displays show correct month, email address format checker allows hyphenx in mailbox names, single quotes no longer crash recipe search.

Fixes ingredient quantity column type in MySQL that caused fractional quantities to get rounded off to the nearest whole number (e.g. 1/2 got rounded off to 0).

Alternatively, you can issue the following SQL command:

ALTER TABLE 'ingredients' CHANGE 'qty' 'qty' DECIMAL(10, 5) NOT NULL;

...and update your existing quantity values.

*** Systems using Postgres are not effected. ***
