Main New Features In The OFBiz Trunk

These features correspond approximately to trunk changes since Release 4.0 (see children pages since 2007 at bottom). As always, OFBiz releases represent stable code while trunk versions include the latest and greatest functionalities.

  • Accounting
    • New payment processor: Securepay from securepay.com.au
    • New 'Birt' driven reports.
  • Content
    • Improved and fixed blog function
  • EbayStore
    • Change Active list screen to be the Open List screen: Open screen shows the items that which have the active status in Ebay.

    • All Dojo, Prototype and Calendar libraries, and calls to these libraries, have been removed
    • A new feature in Jquery branch allows to set a dependent field using autocomplete in lookups. Convenient when, for instance, you want to allow you users to handle names instead of Ids but need to set an Id key in a hidden field. Demonstrated with Geo in example/control/FormWidgetExamples
