Hi folks!

We're not dead, just very busy testing our app in some production environments and learning a lot about american accounting & inventory standards (now faves is mainy "european invoicing style"). Next realese still will take some time but will include (step-by-step) important changes related to usability in the real world.

New release available in the downloads section.

Development is being a bit delayed in order to write some basic documentation...

Version 0.6.5 is now available for download in the files section.

Important changes:

• PHPMaker framework updated to 9.0.1

• Most queries rewriten for ADODB, now faves-ERP could run in

• MySQL

New customized cofiguration files should be added,as for now the default is MySQL.

Some (GPL) components will need to be re-compiled or re-written for multi database
support. RunJasperReports (agile soft) included only contains JDBC drivers for MySQL and
Postgres, like others (luxcal,AfterLogic webmail). In future releases we will publish
patches or alternative configurations for such components.... read more
