Recent releases


Changes: This is a maintenance update which improves the usability of the ordering page.


Changes: This version adds product reconciliation scripts. Stock from different suppliers often has the same name, and when managing a database with thousands of products, the duplicates quickly get out of hand. The reconciliation scripts resolve duplicates.


Changes: This release now uses python-htmltmpl to split the HTML styling from the content, and product codes from suppliers can now be stored on a per-product basis. If you are updated from pre-0.5, you must backup your MySQL database first and run the provided db/update1.sql script to reformat your products to the new table format.


Changes: A Sales Report averaging / prediction system was added. This averages out sales from the database, thereby providing a means to assess what goods are most likely to go out of stock before that actually happens.


Changes: Added installation documentation was added. The Web front-end now supports frames. Frames ensure that the main menu stays on the front page while products and orders scroll.
