Don't look now
To the untrained eye it may appear that not much has happened in Bauble world for quite some time. And that's where you'd be wrong.
For months now we've been working away at the next iteration of Bauble. Version 0.6. This new version has massive changes and a majority of the code has been re-written. The major changes include:
- Use SQLAlchemy instead of SQLObject to access the database.
- All the editors now have a rich interface, i.e. we've nixed the table style editing. This means that it's easier to edit related data and more difficult to enter bad data.
- The database tables have been reviewed and alot of changes were made to improve performance, accomodate for future features and other general sanity checks.
- In general, Bauble is now more stable, reliable, consistent and intuitive.
- (lot's of other things I can't remember right now)
Then where is it you ask? Well, it's pretty much done. There's a couple of bugs here and there but nothing critical. In fact at Belize Botanic Gardens we're already using it to manage our plant records. There still some testing to do, especially on Windows, but I would expect a release within the next few weeks.
