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 ... http://www.greenstone.org/blog/2017-10-02/greenstone-287-released/ I have tidied up the greenstone project on sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/greenstone/. 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 ... http://www.greenstone.org/blog/2015-06-15/greenstone-sourceforge-projects-merged/ It's been a very long period since we blogged our progress. 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 ... http://www.greenstone.org/blog/2014-05-09/greenstone-updates/ Over the week, have been working on the activate.pl script (and things that it needs). 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. http://www.greenstone.org/blog/2012-05-12/anus-entry-for-the-week-of-7-11-may-2012/ At the start of last week, finished off the task of the GS3 “debuginfo” button that now appears next to the login button. 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 ... http://www.greenstone.org/blog/2012-05-04/anus-entry-for-the-weeks-of-23-apr-4-may-2012/ The first two weeks involved: 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 ... http://www.greenstone.org/blog/2012-03-23/anus-blog-entry-for-5-march-23-march/ This week has had a rather exciting development that several people have been wanting for quite a long time.  The 64-bit compatible versions of MG, MGPP and GDBM have been added to the main code, meaning that Greenstone 2 and 3 can now compile successfully on 64-bit systems. The reason ... http://www.greenstone.org/blog/2012-03-02/sams-greenstone-blog-232012/ Continued on the problem that I thought had been almost resolved last week: getting the batch files in GS2 to handle not only spaces but also brackets in the Greenstone filepaths. The batch files were done, but the perl code needed some correcting too. After inspecting many files ... http://www.greenstone.org/blog/2011-12-02/anus-entry-for-the-week-ending-2-dec-2011/ For the last two weeks, I was mainly learning the practical side of how to handle the Greenstone translations. 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 ... http://www.greenstone.org/blog/2011-11-28/anus-entry-for-week-ending-25-nov-2011/ As several people had encountered issues in the recent 2.85 release, a lot of this week was spent looking at them so that we can get 2.86 out as soon as possible. The bugs and oversights are not fatal and work-arounds are possible: 1) If you don't have the PDF-box extension for ... http://www.greenstone.org/blog/2011-11-11/anus-blog-entry-for-the-week-ending-11-nov-2011/
