I’m having fun with Gource on eHour’s SVN repository. Although it’s not that useful it looks very cool :)

 

After some silence eHour development is going strong again. Currently the code base is being cleaned up, moved the front-end to Wicket 1.4, prepare the project structure for easy switching between LDAP and internal user management, etc.

Check the progress on commit level: http://dev.ehour.nl/fisheye/
See the targetted roadmap of the next release: http://dev.ehour.nl/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requestId=10011
Code health quality: http://dev.ehour.nl/sonar/project/index/1

 

There’s a beta version of eHour with PostgreSQL available. For more info check this thread in the forum.

When you run into any problems, please use the forum to respond

 

eHour 0.8.3 is released under the GPL license. For more information check the ehour site.

 

eHour 0.8.3 beta is now available, check the forum for more info !

 

Through an exploit in Mantis and a sloppy system configuration ehour.nl (the PHP website, not the time tracking application itself) got compromised. Everything’s back up again except for Mantis as I’m looking for a replacement.

 

I keep lacking the time to do a proper open source release of eHour. A proper developer site and mailinglist (developer mailinglist is at ehour_dev-subscribe _at_ lists.ehour.nl) will be up later this month, in the meantime you can access the SVN repo anonymously at:

http://svn.te-con.nl/repos/ehour/trunk (svn co http://svn.te-con.nl/repos/ehour/trunk) or http://dev.ehour.nl/fisheye/ when you prefer a webbased interface.

Building instructions can be found in the BUILDING.txt in the root of the source tree, when you have trouble with maven dependencies use this mirror in your settings.xml

<settings>
  <mirrors>
    <mirror>
      <id>Nexus</id>
      <name>Nexus Public Mirror</name>
      <url>http://dev.ehour.nl/nexus/content/groups/public</url>
      <mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
    </mirror>
  </mirrors>
</settings>
 

eHour’s next version will move back to an OSI approved open source license again. The exact license hasn’t been determined yet although it will be most likely GPL.

This means that with the next version src packages are provided and anonymous access to our version control system is available (when you want to actively help with eHour send me an email at info@ehour.nl).

 

To speed up the eHour releases we’re looking for experienced Java developers who want help out fixing bugs and implementing new functionality.
When you have experience with Java 5, Spring, Hibernate, Apache Wicket, Maven 2, MySQL, Tomcat and HTML & CSS and want to help out implementing new features and/or fixing bugs, sign up!

eHour 0.8.3 is coming ! Well at least it’s in development but work is being done. 0.8.3 will be a minor release again meaning that no big features will be added but more smaller bug fixes. The following things will change:

  • Assign all users to a project
    Currently you can only assign new users to a project by default but not assign all existing users to a project – this will be fixed.
  • Migrate data from standalone to MySQL
    A small tool will be added that allows you to migrate data from standalone eHour to the MySQL driven version.
  • Department filter on reports
    It is broken right now, will be fixed.
  • Filtering of inactive assignments
    Inactive assignments clutter up the available screen space, option to filter them will be added.
  • Wrong day displayed in per day comments
    The wrong day of the week is displayed in the per day comments pop up
  • Improve Tomcat settings
    The datasource settings for Tomcat are not ideal which results in closed database connections after some inactivity. Better datasource settings and per Tomcat (5.5 and 6.0) version will be added.

No release date is yet known so stay tuned !
