0.9.0b1
The first beta release of the 0.9 series has been released. This release packs in alot of goodness and although it hasn't been exercised as much as the 0.8 releases it seem to be fairly stable. One reason is that this new release includes tests in the code for all sorts of things that 0.8 didn't which in general should mean more stability and less regressions between releases.
This release brings alot of new feature and bug fixes. For starters:
Alot of Bauble have been reviewed and rewritten. For example searches should be more robust and give more useful errors when something goes wrong. They should also return the results faster. Some of the editors have been reorganized. The plugins system has been reorganized a bit. In general most of Bauble has been gone over with a fine tooth comb to make sure everything runs as smooth possible.
The downside is that this release hasn't caught up on translations so it might be awhile before its available in your language. If you would like to help translate Bauble 0.9 then visit https://translations.launchpad.net/bauble/0.9/+pots/bauble
As usual, you can download it here

- A new Mako templates based report formatter has been added which means that writing reports is more like creating a web page.
- This release also includes an experimental Picasa Web based image viewer. If you have a Picasa Web account then Bauble will search for and show any photos tagged with the current species name in the infobox.
- Better documentation. Most of the documentation has been rewrittent for this release. Its not 100% complete but you can view what been done so fat at http://bauble.belizebotanic.org/docs/0.9/
- We now automatically build Ubuntu/Debian packages for each release.
