[Webcollab-users] WebCollab-1.59 (Development Version)

[Andrew S. <and...@pa...>]

Hi all,

Pleased to announce a development version of WebCollab is available for
download.

This version includes the much requested private usergroups and private
users to allow isolation between groups/users.  There are also other
improvements from the Features Request lists at Sourceforge (task
cloning, printable pages and show active projects only).

Web-based database back-up, another Feature Request, is partially coded
in the CVS.  I could never get it work effectively over the wide range
of platforms, so it's stayed in CVS.  

The development release is essentially complete (for a full release) but
the translations for non-English languages have not yet been done.  Help
welcomed :)

Also released is an experimental add-on for Unicode (UTF-8) characters. 
This allows the text entry of characters in virtually any written
language. It is experimental because there are probably a few bugs to
sort out - and it does not work well with MySQL - yet.  MySQL will
apparently not have good support for for Unicode until version 4.1
(presently in Alpha).

Regards

Andrew
