1.0.10

I've released Bauble 1.0.10.  Wait!? What?  What happened to 1.0.2 through 1.0.9 you ask?  Well this version has some pretty significant changes so I decided to make this more apparent by giving the version number a wee bump.  Here's the major changes:

• Bauble nows uses SQLAlchemy 0.6 (or 0.7).  This should make it a tad faster and SA 0.6 is also the default version for most modern Linux desktops.
• Fixed lots of little quirks including LP# 856241, 857963, 857968, 858027, 872008, 857882

I especially want to thank Shane Litherland for all his work reporting bugs and detailed documentation which made fixing these a cinch.

As always, you can download it here or use our PPA for Ubuntu/Debian packages.

The Big 1.0

After a long development cycle, hiatus, child and other such life changes Bauble 1.0 has been released. So much has changed in this release that I couldn't mention everything. It's faster, more stable and just plain does more stuff. Also:

• Most of the editors have been reorganized to, hopefully, be easier to use and more intuitive. 
• There's now a Query Builder which should help remove some of the voodoo for creating some of the more advanced queries. 
•  Bauble can now manage your propagation records via the Plant Editor
• Accessions can be associated with herbarium vouchers. T
• The side bar now how quick links that allow you to quickly go to web pages relative to the currently selected item.

And that's only a taste.  I would like to thank the University of British Columbia Botanical Garden and Centre for Plant Research for funding most of the new developments.  Thanks guys.

0.9.7 Released

This release fixes a bug that broke the species editor and some other annoyances.

Download it here.

0.9.6

I've just released 0.9.6. This version fixes a bug that I introduced in 0.9.5. It was causing problems when setting some combo boxes to None and when creating the species names which could cause the infobox to not show.

I also changed some things in the way the editors save their changes to the database. Now it Bauble should better recover when you get an error saving your changes and allow you to pick up where you left off without too much trouble.

And of course there's some other minor bug fixes and also a good amount of translation updates. Thanks to all the translators.

Download and Enjoy!

0.9.5

I've release Bauble 0.9.5.

This release fixes a few bugs, adds a nice speed up when a search returns a lot of results and updates some translations. In particular there was a bug that when setting the source of an accession it was possible that you could lose the source data completely. Its rare but it could happen. I recommend that anyone using a previous 0.9 release upgrade.

Get it at the usual place.

0.9.3

I've just released Bauble 0.9.3 and this is a pretty important release. It includes the following fixes and improvements:

• Bauble no longer hemorrhages memory. Now once the application is started the memory usage stays pretty constant whereas before it would continue to grow until it filled up the entire universe.
• In previous versions you would get strange delays when doing things that required communication with a remote databases. Before it kept making new connections to do small tasks but now we reuse the same database connection throughout the application which gives pretty much everything a snappier feel.
  
• The CSV importer is now a little smarter about tables that have columns that reference the same table and when importing boolean columns.
  
• Every table in the database has a _last_updated column to record when a row in the table was last updated. Unfortunately it wasn't updating. Oops.
• Fixed some more obscure search queries.
• On MS Windows Bauble should now be pretty again.

Download and enjoy.

Bauble 0.9.1 has been released to the world and is the new stable version of Bauble.

Alot of work has gone into the 0.9 series and alot has changed since 0.8. Without getting into too many of the details this are some of the things you can expect from the release:

• All database operations should be faster.
  
• Improved stability.
  
• Better documentation.
  
• New Mako based report plugin and Picasa Web plugin for viewing images.
  
• Better everything. Nearly everything under the hood has changed in one way or another.
