Sorry that I haven’t posted an update in a while, I keep forgetting to do it. Good news though, we are now in the final testing stages of Greenstone 3 and should hopefully have a 3.05 release candidate ready before the end of the week. We’ve also got some exciting things planned for 3.06 as […]

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.

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 processed by the XSLT to […]

was to replace a whole lot of XSLT statements instantiating a javascript array in header.xsl. It took a bit of messing about, but util.xsl now calls a new Java method to generate the Javascript array declaration and initiation, and this called from document.xsl and documentbasket.xsl (instead of header.xsl) using the new element.
The gs2-library […]

The very start of last week still required more work on the scripts that would handle translations made in Google’s Translator Toolkit. A couple of additional scripts were written.
Thereafter and until yesterday, the work has been mostly centred on GS3’s usersDB:

getting the output of txt2usersDB to work as input to usersDB2txt and viceversa as well […]

I’m writing this a day early this week because I will not be working tomorrow due to Easter, I still have a bit to report however.
This week I decided to re-think one of the previous decisions we made in regards to viewing documents in Greenstone 3. In Greenstone 2 you can normally only view one […]

Just a short entry today to say that this week has mostly consisted of working on minor features and fixes. All of the major new features are mostly done now and we are nearing the final testing stage before we can release Greenstone 3.

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 more, and the corbaserver and […]

This week I have added the ability for users to register themselves for a Greenstone 3 site. To register a user must provide their username, password and email address (we may add more fields or the ability for an administrator to add custom fields) as well as match two words from an image (to make […]

With the new user-login capability of Greenstone3 I have been creating and improving various features that relate to this capability. For example, the previous administration capabilities (the ability for admin users to add/edit/remove users) were not very secure and have now had an overhaul to properly connect with the servlet security method I described in […]
