There are a few major changes have been made in version 0.61 versus version 0.5 of iCalScheduler.
The authentication system was added so that people need to log in and have the appropriate privileges before they can change things in the database. This is the major change for the system and is more fully documented in the section on
Security and Logins and
Departments and Roles.
A search engine was added. This is database driven so that the search fields are automatically populated by the database. While there are pros and cons of this approach, one of the major advantages is that you will only be searching for field values that are already in the database.
This help system was expanded to be more complete.
Other minor changes were made to hopefully make the code a little cleaner and fix a few bugs. However, due to the fact that there are some major components still missing (e.g., administering departments through a GUI) and that the code is still somewhat messy, it is best to consider this still alpha code. The next version (0.7) should make it then to the beta 1 stage.
