The Andromeda demos have both been upgraded, see them at http://www.andromeda-project.org/thedemo.html.

Second Demo Added to Andromeda

Donald Organ — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 21:33:31 -0000

A second demo program has been added to show off Andromeda's features. This demo will receive progressive updates over the next few weeks, and all instances will be preserved so that programmers can compare. The multiple instances of this demo will allow developers to see what kind of features can be added over a particular time frame.

New Install Package For Windows

Andromeda now has a new install package for Windows, along with new streamlined and simpler instructions.

Andromeda Release Candidate 1

Donald Organ — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 18:13:29 -0000

The Andromeda team is proud to announce the availability of Andromeda Version 1 Release Candidate 1.

Andromeda is a programmer productivity tool, our motto is, "the fastest easiest way to get it done, get it right." Andromeda features an innovative data dictionary that dramatically reduces application programming, as well as various screen generation routines and the ability to override or modify framework behavior at any level.

Once you have installed Andromeda, it can update itself directly from the Sourceforge site.

Also today we have switched the default installation package from a tarball to a Debian package. The package is known to work on Ubuntu 8.04, and we look forward to any feedback that allows us to improve it.

Documentation is available on the Andromeda website, www.andromeda-project.org.

Significant Andromeda Documentation Updates

Donald Organ — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 02:19:43 -0000

Andromeda today received significant documentation updates.

1) The entire Database Programming section is finished - Andromeda's most important feature.

2) A complete section on Database Access has been added.

3) A complete section on modifying the "free" admin screens has been added.

4) Upgrade scripts have been documented.

5) A new section on using x6 plugins has been started and about 1/2 completed.

6) Styles have been added for notices and alerts.

In terms of bug fixes and site improvements we have:

1) The search box was fixed.

2) Search now matches lots of relevant terms to pages, so searching for "range_from" gets you to the page on ranged primary keys.

3) The image links are now working.

New Documentation: Automations and Security

Donald Organ — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 14:53:06 -0000

The documentation at www.andromeda-project.org has received two significant updates today. The docs now contain a complete description of Andromeda automations, which are crucial to making full use of Andromeda. As well, the docs now contain a full description of how to assign security.

Docs and Bugs 2/3/09

Donald Organ — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 03:04:39 -0000

Much has happened:

1) The docs now have a complete description of our basic data definition for table structures. Next up is automations.

2) Docs now use javascript syntax colorizing.

3) Several corrections to the "Web Programming" pages were made.

4) Links in Andromeda now go to the new docs

5) the docs themselves have a completely new look, much cleaner and easier, and each page is now static, so they load faster.

6) For legacy apps, it is now possible to do a graceful fallback in x6 to the odd x2 page here and there.

7) A bug in the demo's menu was fixed, this showed up after you logged in and was annoying.

Bug fix report 2/2/09

Donald Organ — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 17:53:54 -0000

1) Fixed issue with app_nopage() on x6 pages, which caused non-root users to keep jumping back to the menu.

2) Fixed issue with user assignments to groups in x6 mode.

3) In the "Embarrassing" file, I was not saving the changes to the default download, so the past couple of releases have been giving the user the May 24th file. Ouch! But that is fixed.

Feature Freeze As of 1/30/09

Donald Organ — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 02:56:18 -0000

As of today, Andromeda is now in a feature freeze to prepare for Release 1. All features in the original vision are in place.

Focus now will be on documentation and bug fixes.
