At this time further work on this project is being suspended.

For several reasons the next Beta release is going to be delayed. That release will also have some database changes so a completed install will be needed. We will try to get the release out as soon as posiible but it will be a long delay.

Thank you for your patience.

Beta1 has been uploaded. It is available for you to download and try. PLEASE use Ticket to let us know of any problems. Many bugs fixed and new features added.

Thank you for your patience and for using VetClinic.

By upgrading to mySQL 5.7.12 and PHP 5.6.21 many problems were exposed that were not problems in previous versions. While this has been a pain debugging it is good in the long run because it will provide accurate data retrieved and stored.

I thank you for your patience while I am fixing the problems and making VetClinic the best application it can be. As always, when the Beta is released in a few days, PLEASE report any problems in Tickets and I will get them fixed as quickly as possible.... read more

There are going to be many bug fixes in Beta1. In addition there will be additional species, more working features, and other new items of interest. I am hoping to release Beta1 within 2 weeks. As always there will be a noticed placed here when it is released. We have been looking forward to this for a long time. A lot of work has gone into this project and especially this beta. There has not been a release for a long time because we wanted this working as perfectly as possible. As always please use the SF Tickets to report errors so we can fix them.... read more

We havehad 320 downloads since Nov 1, 2015 under the PetClinic project. It is exciting to see this project downloaded so many times. Thanks to everyone who has downloaded it!

Well, we have gone full circle. PetClinic is being renamed to VetClinic. As the project grew and more species and breeds were added, it became obvious that the project was more than a Pet Clinic Management Software. It was more a Vet Clinic Management Software. We are adding more species and breeds as we go along.

If there are any breeds or species or features that you would like to see added let us know.

The latest version of Pet Clinic has been uploaded to Source Forge. It has many bug fixes and new features. PLEASE let us know if you find any bugs so we can fix them. We still have more work to do but this is what has been do so far. We hope that you find it valuable and a big help to your organization. PLEASE rate us so we know how we are doing. Also let us know if you want any features added.

THIS IS THE LAST ALPHA VERSION! The next release will be Beta1. Enjoy!

The Alpha2a build fixes a couple of bugs that originally got past us.

Please note that Intermediate Builds has been changed to Interim Builds. It will contain Builds as we work towards Alpha3.

I apologize for the delay in releasing Alpha2. There was an issue in the client maint area and we wanted it fixed before releasing.

The only remaining areas to be worked on are:

Phone Messages
Inventory
Pets
Visits

If there are any features that you would like added please let us know. Again, thank you for using PetClinic. Rememebr this is an Alpha version and may still have bugs. PLEASE report any bugs to us using Tickets.... read more

Alpha2 should be out in the next week or so. It has many bug fixes and new features. PLEASE help us by reporting bugs in the Tickets sectionof SourceForge. We test as much as we can but we do not catch everything. By using Tickets to report problems we can fix the problems faster.

Thank you for your support.

The latest build is released as an Intermediate Build. As usual this build has not been thoroughly tested so do not use in production. There are new things in this build and it will give you an idea of where we are going. I am hoping to release Alpha2 in a week or so.

If you find errors PLEASE LET US KNOW! Use the tickets to report problems.

Thanks for your help and for using PetClinic.

The weekly builds folder has been renamed to Intermediate Builds since there will not be a weekly release of files. The first intermediate build has been uploaded. INTERMEDIATE BUILD ARE NOT AS TESTED AS ALPHA BUILDS! Please use intermediate builds with caution. They are to show you what is new and how the applkication is progressing. DO NOT USE IN PRODUCTION.

PLEASE report and bugs in the tickets section of this web site. Also let us know what features you would like to see.... read more

Happy Holidays to everyone. Have a happy and safe new year.

A weekly build will be out someime in the first two weeks of January. It will have SysAdmin functions, client maint and listing, pet maint and listing, and doctor maint tested and working. Being able to change items on your own information may also be available.

We look forward to your feedback so we know what to correct and what you like and do not like.... read more

I have been having trouble getting the client maint to work properly but I have just found the problem. I do not want to upload weekly builds until I am sure there are enough working parts to make it worth while for you to download. I hope to have a weekly build for you in 7 to 10 days.

Thank you for your patience.

As promised the Alpha1a file is available. Still only tested the install but it means I am now moving on to the application itself. I will be working on the maintenance and listing protion of the application. When that is done and tested I will upload Alpha2.

Any questions or problems open a ticket or post in the discussion area.

I finally received permission from the Royal Veterinary College to use the VeNom codes. There is a wealth of information in the codes. These codes will be in the next Alpha release.

Progress is being made towards the new Alpha version. I am thinking of releasing an Alpha1a in the next week.

I am happy to announce that a developer/tester named Paul has joined the project. He has barely started on the project and has already offered very helpful suggestions. Hopefully we can get the Alpha releases done quickly and get a Beta version released.

Keep checking here for the latest news.

Somewhere along the way I must have changed something to make the wrong file available. After a few messages with SF Support I have deleted the files as they were and have now restructured the download area. There are now Alpha Builds and Weekly Builds. Use caution when using these files as they are NOT for production use. I will be making a Beta Build and a Production Build in the future.

Thanks for trying Pet Clinic Management Software.

Thanks to someone contacting me, today I found out that the download is incorrect. While Rapla is used in my project, it is not the main file download. I submitted a ticket on SF and hopefully that will be corrected soon. I appreciated your patience in waiting.

Meanwhile I am working on the ALPHA 2. This will cover the maintenance and listing features.

There is also a new support email address. petclinic.email@gmail.com

I am happy to announce that the first Alpha version of Pet Clinic is now available. This first Alpha focuses on the installation process.

The next Alpha version, Alpha 2, will focus on the maintenance and listing functions.

I have completed the process to create SNOMED databases and tables and to insert the SNOMED data. It was a real learning process. Evidently VeNom is not going to grant me a license to use their procedures. That is unfortunate but that is life.

I have used a few SF projects integrated into this project to make it successful. I wish to thank the authors for their assiatance in getting the projects integrated smoothly.... read more

There are a couple of reasons I am doing this project. I got started by responding to a post to help with the WebVet project. The name was changed to VetClinic and development started. Due to various issues I decided to branch out on my own. After notifying the VetClinic project manager I set up an account on GitHub and then on SF.

So now I am redoing a lot of what I did for VetClinic. I am now using JQuery along with PHP. It is basically a Windows platform using WAMP, JQuery, and PHP. I am currently working on the install process by adding tabs and form validation. It is going along slowly but I am getting there. Looking for help programming and testing. (See the Help Wanted ads.)... read more
