iPath Telemedicine Platform / News: Recent posts

A first beta release of the new iPath-Server system is now available. This is the first release beased on the new SVN code repository.

The source code of the iPath project has been slightly reorganised and move to the SVN repository. The CVS Repository will no longer be maintained.

In the SVN repository, there are at the moment two parts: "server" and "tools"

a new stable version of iPath has been released - as platform independent source code as well as a xampp bundle for setup on windows.

An important bug fix release fixing problems with some XSL stylesheets.

The file released last week did not contain an updated sql for the creation of the database. also the CHANGELOG.txt was missing. Thus I re-released the iPath-Server-2.0.tar.gz ... please download again.
NOTE: the database file for postgres is not yet update. will come later!

Finally, iPath-2.0 is released.

Some problems for runnung iPath on easyPHP have been resolved and are packed into an intermediate release version 2.0rc6a. (in download section)

Another release condidate on the way to a final iPath-2. The major change here is the xmlrpc module which has been reworked. Now there is one generic xmlrpc server (xmlrpc module) and other modules can publish xmlrpc functions through this server.

Additionally, the htmlarea module has been replace with the FCK editor. The editor itself is available as a separate addon module.

more bugfixes and a improved remote slide presentation module.

Finally the new iMic microscope controller is release. this is written in Java (SWT) and already includes support for CoolScope. It also includes a "FractalScope" which can be used to play with the application if you do not have a CoolScope.

A new release candidate is out. This version fixes support for Postgres and MySQL 3.x databases, ADOdb session support (crypto session), PGP encrypted data export and many bugs and it is compatible with IIS webserver.

I created a new file package called "modules" where I will upload add-on modules for iPath-2 server. A fist module integrates the htmlarea to easily edit the static pages on iPath.

A new set of bug fixes and small extensions of iPath-2 has been released.

I added a new CVS repository named "modules" which contains all the additional modules that are not bundeled with the base version of iPath-Server. At the moment there are the textslide module and the telemic module which re-implements the micresocope remote control from the old iPath-1.

The first release candidate of the new iPath-2 telemedicine platform is out. This version is fully functional and we already use it for our active telepathology network on http://telepath.patho.unibas.ch

Finally a first alpha release of the new iPath-2 is ready for download. use it carefully, there are certainly some bugs. You can find the file in the download section.

The iPath project has a new web site - please check out http://ipath.ch

There is a new release of iPath which includes a slightly modified version of XAMPP-lite for installing iPath on Windows. Simply download and unzip the "iPath-2-preview-xampplite.zip" file from the iPath-Server section. This also includes a preview version of the new iPath-2.

This is the final release of the existing version of iPath. There will be a lot of changes in the next version, however, this version will be kept and bug fixed until the next one is ready.

A new version (0.6.9) of the microscope controller has been released as a self installing windows applciation. The following microscopes are supported: non-motorized, Zeiss MCU26, Leica (SDK installed!), Olympus with LStep4 or ITK stage controllers.
New: The chat function is now also accesable directely from the Microscope-Controller.

The development of iPath-Server has been compltetely moved to the "free software foundation". Source code is available on savannah:

Finally, version 0.6 of iPath Server is released. Most bugs should be eliminated and verison 0.6 seems to run stable with all features. Main advantage of v0.6 is support for custom forms and you can install it into an existing html tree. No need for vritaul hosts and no need to adapt httpd.conf or php.ini.

A next release series of ipath Server is being prepared. There are many differences, but mainly it has a new layout so it can be installed anywhere in the html tree now. Also a setup script will be created.

The iPath branch of TeleMedMail has been romoved from the files collection. By now, iPath-Server can understand and import cases from the original TeleMedMail and the original has been released on sourceforge, too:
