Re: [Ledger-smb-devel] return of BigFloat errors

2012-12-30 Thread Michael Richardson
An upgrade to 1.3.27 (head of SVN actually) continues to give me BigFloat errors. I sure that this is data dependant. I'm trying to enter a AP. I added: use Carp qw(cluck); cluck "bad math"; print STDERR "X: $x\n"; print STDERR "Y: $y\n"; to the code at the line 1865, and got the foll

Top posting to follow present custom! Speaking as a business owner I am much more likely to run for far longer than 36 months. I know people running businesses using record keeping (its not really accounting) software that is 7 to 10 years old. As long as the computer works they are happy. Forcing

Hi Berend, To my knowledge this is not customary. E.g. Subversion has a completely independent release schedule from any of the distributions. However, since rules and regulations seem to change regularly in the accounting business (but not in version control) it seems appropriate to at least pro

Hi, Working with the Customer/Vendor interfaces for a while now, I've been thinking how to improve it -- make it more intuitive. While in general I think our customer/vendor structure is very complex, that's mostly a database matter: the UI doesn't support the entire DB model. Attached I've draw

Hi, In an attempt to create clarity for our users, I'd like to add an end-of-life statement to the ledgersmb.org website. However, I'm not sure we currently have consensus of the end-of-life criteria. My proposal would be that: 1.0 and 1.1 have been EOL'd by the release of 1.2. 1.2 will be EOL'd

Re: [Ledger-smb-devel] Proposal for LedgerSMB 1.5: Move to Pg 9.2 and use JSON for extended attributes

2012-12-30 Thread Chris Travers
Actually it occurs to me we could use text fields and supply a script to convert these to JSON if the db is 9.2. This would allow us to support 9.1 and higher without having to postpone this feature. The danger of course would be that if third parties are writing to this field they MUST write JSO
