Barcode Ticket System: 0.1.0-alpha release

We have incremented the version number from 0.0.3-alpha to 0.1.0-alpha for this release, as there have been numerous improvements since the previous server release.

Changelog

• Updated Zend Framework to 1.11.7
• Added basic user interface for event creation in web panel
• Added <ticket> element(s) for the attendees/find API response format when querying with a uniqueId instead of name
• Added feature to generate barcode label sheets as PDF documents through web panel using TCPDF
• Changed CSV importer behaviour to output an error on non-existent attendees or attendees with the same name

Upgrade Instructions

1. Update the files to the latest version using Subversion or a downloaded archive.
2. Check that {APPLICATION_PATH}/configs/bts.ini.dist contains the new [pdf] section, used for barcode label generation functionality.
3. Add a [pdf] section to your {APPLICATION_PATH}/configs/bts.ini file, even if you are not specifying any directives in this section. Failure to do so will cause errors in the PDF generator.

Known Issues

• Barcode label sheet generation may be CPU-intensive, due to the library used; the PDF generation task may also take slightly longer for larger batch sizes
• No instructions are provided on the event creation interface

Planned Changes

For the next release, we hope to:

• Add user management tools, including a password reset feature
• Allow other users access to an event through the web panel (currently, only the owner/creator of an event can manipulate it); this may require a database schema change
