0.6.0

Well, 0.6.0 has been released. This includes...

• Editors that are a pleasure to use. The old table/spreadsheet style editors have been ripped out and flogged. The fancy new editors bring joy and pleasure.


• The formatter plugin has been reworked so you can now create you're own formatters. The default formatter that comes with Bauble is still the same old XSL-PDF renderer that you've come to love.


• We now use SQLAlchemy instead of SQLObject. Though this is more of a technical improvement than one a user might notice it does improve the overall experience when using Bauble and helps save the author(me) a lot of headache.


• The information boxes that show up when you select an item in the search results have been improved and now show statistics on the number of plants and accessions when selecting family, genera or species types.


• The search results now give more visual clues about the types they are showing like displaying the family of a genus or the vernacular names for a species. Also plants in the database that are marked 'Dead' are shown in a lighter shade of gray.


• There have been tons and tons of improvement and bugfixes. A huge percentage of Bauble has been completely rewritten. Don't ask what percentage, just take my word for it.

If you've been waiting for the right time to use Bauble then now would be it.
