GNU Foliot 0.9.7 is released

[David Pirotte]

Hello,

GNU Foliot 0.9.7 is released.  This is a maintenance release, which
brings GNU Foliot up-to-date with Guile-2.2, which introduced an
incompatible module - goops related - change.


* About GNU Foliot

GNU Foliot is a small and easy to use time keeping application.

It can be used in a single user mode or by small organizations. Starting
with version 0.9.4, it can import other user's database, an essential
feature for remote collaborators.

The fields it handles are: a date, who, for whom, what, a duration,
whether or not to be charged and a description.

It includes, on the main application screen, a powerful dynamic filters
criteria mechanism, which lets you visualize, work on and print a subset
of your time keeping entries.

A printing templates system allows you to (pre)define, reuse and hence
quickly generate the pdf files and/or printed reports of your needs.

A version which will let users export an active filter based subset of
their time keeping entries is under work.

Dependencies
------------

        - Guile       >= 2.0.14
        - Guile-Gnome >= 2.16.5
        - Grip        >= 0.1.2
        Grip-Gnome
          Grip-SQLite

Core
----

        - Guile-2.2 does not query (default-duplicate-binding-handler)
      at module expand eval load time as it did for Guile-2.0, a bad
      decision imo, but we have to cope with it, and declare
      #:duplicates (merge-generics ...) in each individual module
      instead.  We also removed our patched version of guild, since it
      became useless, and now use the version that comes with Guile.

        - All getters, setters, accessors and methods are now exported
      using g-export - defined in (grip g-export) - which re-export
      defined names (and precisely should only be used for getters,
      setters, accessors and methods).


* Bug reports

Please report bugs to address@hidden


* Mailing lists

For the time being, Foliot uses Guile's mailing list:

  address@hidden is for general user help and discussion;

  address@hidden is used to discuss most aspects of Folit,
  including development and enhancement requests.

    .sig suffix) is intact.  First, be sure to download both the .sig
    file and the corresponding tarball.  Then, run a command like this:

        gpg --verify foliot-0.9.7.tar.gz.sig

    If that command fails because you don't have the required public
    key, then run this command to import it:

        gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys A3057AD7

    and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command
