[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen 1.4rc2 Staff Client Now Available

[Frances Dean McNamara]

Karen,

I was at:

http://open-ils.org/cvs.php#evergreen_client

There is a line about pointing the 1.4rc2 client at the dev server but I don't see a link to actually download the client.  I was going to try it against the dev server as our test server has not been upgraded yet.

Subject: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen 1.4rc2 Staff Client Now Available

Last night the Evergreen developers released the Windows staff client for 1.4rc2. I have taken a brief look at it -- just long enough to play with the record importer/exporter, edit MARC on a record, use the Z39.50 multi-target client, toodle with the circ functions, etc.

It's on the download page at http://evergreen-ils.org/downloads.php<http://evergreen-ils.org/downloads> and we'd love it if you fired it up and walked it around the block!

Note: without additional, advanced configuration*, the 1.4rc2 staff client only works against a 1.4rc2 *server.* So in other words, to explore the 1.4rc2 staff client:

* Point it against the development server, running 1.4rc2 (dev.gapines.org<http://dev.gapines.org/>)
* Point it against a local installation of 1.4rc2*
* Use it with the VMWare image of 1.4rc2, when it becomes available*

The 1.4 staff clients will NOT work at present with demo.gapines.org<http://demo.gapines.org/>, currently running 1.2.4

When you use the Evergreen staff client, you may see certificate notices ("Unable to verify * as a trusted site") and under some circumstances, such as accessing My Accounts through the staff client, you may see "UNSAFE" warnings. You can safely approve access to these.

* This will be obvious to the Evergreen digerati, but to work with the 1.4rc2 staff client, the 1.4rc1 server would need an explicit symlink in /openils/var/web/xul/ for rel_1_4_0_0_rc2 .
