The stable version of CAMSEG SCM 2.5 – codename Tibetan Wolf – has been released.

The final release for CAMSEG 1.0 (Codename ‘Halibut Tarrant’) has been released. It is very stable, and fully suitable for a daily usage. All the features planned are in this version. Numerous bugs have been corrected, and the French translation is done. Please reports bugs if you find some that I haven’t found.

Also, I would like to hear your comments about CAMSEG, and the features that should be integrated in version 1.1 (the current development version can be found in the SVN repository). All the help on this project is welcome. What I would need for the moment is someone to build the application on Mac OS X, since I don’t have it installed.

The stable version of CAMSEG SCM 2.4 – codename Dingo – has been released. The major new feature in this version is the new Report System. This new system is based on HTML, JavaScript and CRL, and the mix of these three technologies allows almost unlimited report capabilities. For instance, the previous system only allowed one table by report, but with the new one, it’s possible to have any number of tables, or not use them at all.

Other new features include:

- Discount by PLU category (conditions and actions applied to PLUs of a specific category)
- Support for discount passwords
- Improved support for batch report generation (it’s now possible to generate multiple reports in a single document/impression)
- Improved currency support (the major ISO currencies are included in the application, and it’s possible to specify a custom one)
- Batch Object importer : allows to import Customers, Vendors or Donators contained in a CSV file
- The start ID of each object type can now be specified (ex: one can set the Start ID of the orders to 1000, and the first order will be order #1000)
- Improved report theming (with CSS technology)
- The vendor can now be used as the customer in an order
- Category code override
- Selector for visible data rows in the Charts
- New reports and charts

Lots of bugs have been corrected for this release (it should be the most stable release ever !). Additionally, the Turkish translation was updated for this release.

This version is stable and recommended for daily usage. Please report bugs and requests to scm@camsegtech.com.

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.
