Dear user,
It’s been a while since the last time we reach out for the next release (currently in beta) built-in version 2.2. This is due in large part to the fact that… we were on and we’re still busy working on it, but the news is, in most cases, encouraging, and positive.
Before you do anything else, we’ve moved all development to a real platform for the collaboration of the open-source code: Github (see: https://github.com/ABCD-DEVCOM/ABCD2) .
It is possible to verify that there are hundreds of interventions, major and minor, that have been made, even by a small team, but the momentum in the last few months.
The major changes are summarized as :
– automatic adjustments in the settings, both for Windows and for Linux
– an all-new style (especially in regard to icon) at the stop the Central
– lots of minor improvements in the robustness, for example, the verification of the required files, the feedback in case of errors, etc.;
– a lot of minor improvements in the details of the functions, for example, a display, improved search, using the dictionary, which was very out-of-phase;
the message of the fall-back (00) is now in www/htdocs/central, and making it to the updates and once again the robustness of the easiest to maintain because all the translations in the directory www/base cause a lot of loss);
– a much improved by the importation and full-text indexing, allowing you to mirror and applications in the digital library, it also documents the major;
As can be seen, all of these changes are related to the SOURCES in the Central core of the script for the managers and/librários. Very few changes have been made to the SOURCES of iAH, the new stop the Opac will be included (as it’s now more embedded in the Middle), but it waits for the further implementation and feedback.
We still need a volunteer to update the message in Spanish, Portuguese, French, Arabic, and they are on their way.
For the latest news, to all the other modules are :
– SecsWeb (which are rarely used, so we have a limited impact : the old scripts are not working properly in the current server, and then upload them seems to be quite problematic in the view of many of the software of the external libraries are used, which almost do not have any control over;
The new plant, however, is on the banks of the Journal the Web that are available for the management of normal (data entry, research, etc.) in conjunction with some command-line tools to refresh the information of the tax authorities.
– Web Site: although it works perfectly on both Windows and Linux, but the Site Admin (CMS) no longer works on Windows, due to the changes in the libraries, XSLT, Windows, once again out of reach. On Linux there is no problem with this;
And if someone else if you feel (or know someone) who is able to analyze this question, are very welcome!
the old OPAC (iAH), yet does a very good job; there are many implementations of more sophisticated, they were made by adding a frame, metasearch sites, rich-created with a CMS, modern
the OPAC (opac_abcd) to have your first complete implementations that are publicly available and showing that it can work well, adding a federated search (concerning an index to multiple databases) the use of metasearch, as well as the facets, and the technology is responsive for use on mobile phones;
the modulus of the loans advanced EmpWeb, allowing the use of an external database (SQL-based, but keeping the operation in the catalogs of SOURCES, the objects of the loan, and the user is kept as it was, but it still works just as well in the last few environments in java and it is not affected by the vulnerability Log4J) to better integrate the environments in which ICT is the most comprehensive.
The download is a ZIP file containing the packages for Windows and Linux. The only adjustment needed is to rename the cgi-bin_Linux to the cgi-bin directory and the base exemplos_Linux for a basis for users of Linux, and the renaming of the corresponding Windows.
It is expected that users of Windows you have installed Apache + PHP, preferably with a pack that can provide either free of charge, such as XAMPP or WAMP server), and unzip the ZIP file, click C:\ABCD and to enter the file provided for the incorporation of the virtualhost directives (typically in the apache\conf\extra to add to their inclusion in the httpd.set the parent). Linux users must start with a version of the server (that is, a setup that comes with Apache and PHP, or to which they have been added to it), and again, just unzip the file and copy the configuration file from the host to the virtual SOURCES is provided in the folder/etc / apache/conf/sites-available with a symbolic link to/etc / apache/conf/sites-enabled folder.
In view of these procedures are relatively simple, we do not even need to produce installers for Windows or for Linux packages .b .e.rpm.
And last, but not least, you also will be available for at least a new website that is dedicated to the SOURCES, for service to the community, and also offers the package to Me or a link to these-for the distribution of the software.
Thank you for your patience for the delay, we’re convinced it’s for the best, resulting in a tool that type of ‘swiss army knife’ is still the most powerful tool for the management of information, including the automation of a library.
