After two long months of development, the Release Candidate version of SCM 2.3 is finally avaible. A lot of changes and cleaning have been made in the code, but there are also a lot of new features. Many parts of the user interface have been re-designed, such as the Inventory screen which is now much more easier to use, and the Settings dialogs. A lot of work was also made on the Database backend, but this feature won’t be available in 2.3, because of the complexity of it. It would have delayed the release of at lease one month, so it will be included in the 2.4 version. An important new feature is the addition of a POS (Point Of Sale) order screen. This new interface is designed for retail shops,restaurants, etc. To use this screen, the Order Dialog Type option of the SCM Settings (Interface Tab) has to be set to POS Screen. It’s not very polished, but changes will be made in it for the final 2.3 release. Other new features include : sorting in tables (it’s now possible to, for instance, sort the customer by name A-Z), a new lookup dialog (see other post on this blog), and financial transactions exportation to QIF and CSV. Lots of bugs have also been corrected.
For Windows 7 and Vista users, a feature has been added to make the background of dialogs glassy (with blur). This feature is activated by default in Windows systems where compositing is activated, but it can also be turned on in the SCM Settings (Interface Tab, Blur Behind Dialogs).
Remember that this version is unstable and recommended for testing purposes only. The final 2.3 release should be out for Christmas. Please report bugs and requests to scm@camsegtech.com.
