A public website is available for testing and review.
Core: Many many bugs fixed, in both PHP and XHTML. (ML, AG)
UI: "My cases" has new filters (my cases, public cases, all cases + period of cases) and also shows new follow-ups related to those cases. (ML)
Core: New "follow-up" form now allows to create a new agenda activity at the same time. (AG)
UI: Added experimental short descriptions in some of the pages, to orient a new user. (KM)
UI: Added tooltips of menu items (KM, ML)
UI: The term "Author" was changed to "User" (based on feedback from CB, MG, CH, SO, AS)
Core: Keywords can now be applied to cases, clients and organisations. This allows administrators to create new fields using multiple-choice fields. (ex: "where did the case come from", "from which region is the client", "type of case" (social problem/crime/etc.), etc.) (ML)
UI: Client and organisation "contacts" are now shown in the "general" tab instead of in their own tab.
Core: Added field ’notes’ to client/org/case, and added fields ’court registration’, ’tax number’, ’stat number’ to organisations. (ML)
Core: Considering that an organisation typically has only a few new cases per day, lists of cases now show only date, not time. The full date/time is still visible in the case details page. (ML, AG)
Core: Lists (of authors, clients, etc.) now all support search, multi-page navigation and alphabetical/numeric ordering. (ML)
Core: In list of follow-ups, author initials now support unicode (tested with Bulgarian and Chinese names). (AG, ML)
Calendar: Initial implementation of calendar (based on Spip), followed by many design fixes. (AG, ML, KM)
Help: Added sub-menus + better styles. (KM)
Core: Case details now shows total hours and money billed on case, seperated by author. (AG + ML)
Installer: New look. (KM)
Installer: Removed step 2 (connection confirmation) which caused confusion + clarified help. (ML + feedback from Chris Bailey)
UI: From summary page, added button ’new client’ next to ’new case’ (since it’s a very common situation). (ML)
UI: List of cases now shows ’creation date’ in list of fields and allows to change sorting order. (ML)
UI: New case / edit case: enhanced UI of ’public’ read/write section + larger input boxes. (ML)
