But for those who really need Greenstone 2, we’ve now brought out a maintenance release of it with Greenstone 2.87.
You can grab the new GS 2.87 binaries, and source component and source distributions packages from the downloads page.
The release notes include […]

The Greenstone3 project has been merged into the main Greenstone project, and Greenstone3 binaries are now the default downloads.  To download Greenstone2 binaries, click “BrowseAll Files” and navigate to the binaries you want.
Note, for now I have left the Greenstone3 project in place, but it will […]

Rest assured we’ve been working hard to improve Greenstone 2 and 3, and it’s only the blogging about it that fell by the wayside. Here’s some of the things that I’ve been working on in the last few months:

Securing Greenstone 2 pages: this involved […]

The details are at http://trac.greenstone.org/ticket/825
For the latest changes made today, need to retest these changes against GS3 on Windows.
Still need to test the entire process on Linux.

The Greenstone tutorial xml files can now include a MajorVersion element with number attribute to specify if the instructions are for GS3 or GS2 and will get processed by the XSLT to […]

generating some files for translation of the Greenstone interface (Mongolian, Bhutanese) and committing changes translators had submitted (Laotian)
fixing up the GS2 CORBA code, including bringing it up to speed with the rest of GS2’s runtime code, so that CORBA works again: it can now compile once more, and the corbaserver and […]

The reason this has taken a long […]

The batch files were done, but the perl code needed some correcting too. After inspecting many files in order to see whether […]

Mainly how to generate the spreadsheets for translators to use, though there was also the opportunity for learning to handle translated spreadsheets. Next to that, there were some questions on the mailing list that I had […]

The bugs and oversights are not fatal and work-arounds are possible:
1) If you don’t have the PDF-box extension for Greenstone installed already, GLI will […]
