GNUe Application Server 0.4.0 released

The GNU Enterprise team proudly announces

GNUe Application Server 0.4.0.

The GNUe Application Server (AppServer) is the core of the n-tier variant of the GNU Enterprise system. To the front end (be it GNUe Forms, GNUe Reports or any other tool), it provides user-defineable business objects with arbitary fields and methods. While transforming access to those fields and methods into database communication and calling of scripts, it cares about stability, security, speed, and consistency.

Changes and new features in this release:

• descending sort
• link indirect fields with outer joins (fixes queries with empty references)
• parameter to define whether NULL values should be sorted at start or end
• find() and request() now also find uncommitted new objects
• access to indirect fields is now possible even when the refernce is NULL
• condition to test if any detail with a given condition exists for a master
• fix for date and time fields for newer MySQL driver versions
• dynamic reloading of class definitions from running server
