Asterisell 3.2.1 Stable Release

Sat, 07 Aug 2010 00:00:00 +0200

The version can be now considered stable. Respect previous 3.2.0 version there are only improvements to the call reports format, and minor improvements to the scripts.

The demo web site is updated with the new version.

Respect 3.0.x version, this version requires GD support enabled inside PHP, that is the default in Linux. It is used inside the new call reports.

In order to upgrade execute

git pull

then fix merge problems, and then

cd scripts
./update_db.sh

or if you already upgrading from a 3.2.x version, only

./configure.sh

Asterisell 3.2.0 is a Testing Release

3.2.0 Problems

Sorry, in reality the 3.2.0 release must be considered a testing release, and not a stable release.

The database upgrade scripts were not perfect (also if there is no risk to loose data, and I have already fixed it) and the invoice reports inside the commercial version need some refinements. All other parts of the application are stable and production-ready.

In these hours/days I’m uploading updates to the free and commercial version.

So if you are testing it, make sure to execute “git pull” and then “cd scripts; ./upgrade_db.sh” at regular intervals.

I will inform you with a dedicated post, when the release can be considered stable/production-ready in all its parts.

For future releases, I will use a “testing” branch of the repository, in order to prevent this type of problems.

Asterisell 3.2.0 Release

New Release

There is a new release for Asterisell Free and Commercial Version.

Improvements to Commercial Version

There is a better support for resellers:

invoices are created with different consecutive numbers for each reseller;
invoices can contain reseller custom information (address, logo, notes, payment terms);

Each customer can receive by mail a summary report with:

most expensive calls;
longest duration calls;
most frequently called numbers;
type of calls grouped by geographic location and connection type;

Invoice addresses are formatted according configured locale.

An upgrade script allows to upgrade the database from 3.x version to the current version without loosing any data.

How to upgrade

Download the last version, preferably using “git”. Then execute:

cd scripts
./upgrade_db.sh

Make sure to activate the new features inside the “apps/asterisell/config/app.yml” configuration file. In particular enable these two jobs:

GenerateInvoiceAsCenteredTemplate
GenerateCallReportAsPDF
and disable:
GenerateInvoiceReportAsPDF

Note

Up to date demo application and documentation screen-shoots are not updated to this last version. I will update them soon.
