Putback Report
Clayton Carter
another release for a little while, but I wanted to give you all these
changes because there has been increased interest in others developing
for the project. Update your local SVN repositories to see these
changes. (Netbeans: right click on each module and select "Subversion
> Update" or just right click on module CropPlanning and select
"Subversion > Update w/ dependencies".)
Summary:
numerous bug fixes (the best being the apostrophe thing, as well as
allowing crop plan names to have misc punctuation in them)
some major back end changes (the best being that we can now abstract
our all of those SQL column names from our modules)
misc GUI tweaks (tables shade alternate rows, some column widths
tweaked, new "crop plan manager")
improved global preferences
