The LedgerSMB team is pleased to announce the release of LedgerSMB 1.2.4 which is available from the SourceForge download page.

What's changed since 1.2.3 (click 'Read More' to see all):

• Fixed internal functions avgcost() and lastcost() to not use float
• Fixed error posting vendor invoice with fraction costs
• Fixed sales tax display issue on invoice/order entry screen
• Fixed inconsistant error when setting to recur 0 times

Recently, I did a talk at the Greater Toronto Area LUG (GTALUG) on LedgerSMB (experiencing MySQL problems at time of posting, tsk-tsk, should have used PostgreSQL ;-). Since I'm not an accountant, the talk focused mostly on the history, architecture and future of the project. Some of the folks at the talk asked if I could provide them with the slides that I used. Nothing fancy, just typical point-form talk stuff. I've uploaded it to the LedgerSMB site for anyone who is interested.

This document is an attempt to look at where we are going from here.

rewritten.

LedgerSMB 1.2.1 has been released. This release corrects a very
serious bug in the new sales tax system and all users who collect

1.2.0 has been released today. It includes a large number of security and data integrity enhancements, replication support, and more. This release marks a major milestone for LedgerSMB, and has some implications for those upgrading from SQL-Ledger.
Read on for Chris' release notes...

This release fixes two serious bugs in 1.1.11:
1) Unable to generate sales orders from timecards
2) Installation overwriting user authentication data.

It is the preferred upgrade over 1.1.10.

Best Wishes,
Chris Travers
