ASPL Fact & AF Architecture version ML4 released

Submitted by davefx on Thu, 2003-11-20 13:34. Gnome DB

Advanced Software Production Line, S.L. is proud to announce the new development milestone of ASPL Fact and AF Architecture, also known as "Granada Trip".

ASPL Fact is a new invoicing system for GNU/Linux (although it should compile and work on every platform where glib is available). It's based on AF Architecture, and it's licensed under the GNU/General Public License.

The main new feature in this development milestone is the independent definition of the AF Architecture: a modular n-tier component architecture specifically designed for business-managing application
design.

Also, we have taken the opportunity of this milestone release, and we have opened our new project page, with English translation, and a bit more standard compliant than the old one.

These are the main changes made from ML3 to ML4:

ASPL Fact:
- ASPL Fact
  - Added a very good dynamic method for disabling interface widgets that give access to services the user has not permission to query.
  - Updating the whole system for be compliant with the new library status.
- AF-Tax
  - Added the new libafdal session support.
  - Adding support for showing the compilation date and time.
  - Redesigned code for being compliant with the new libafgs definition.
- LibAfdalTax
  - Adding support for showing the compilation date and time.
Arquitectura AF:
- LibAfgs
  - Added support for gather 2 or more services in an unique permission, allowing a better administration.
  - Added support for querying AF-keys refresh. This is neccessary for implementing session security policies.
  - Added support for creating servers from only one function.
  - Added support for showing compilation date and time.
  - Added support for storing logs about what is happening: what service is executed, who executes it and from where.
  - Added support for command line options through libpopt for all af-*servers.
  - Added support for enabling or disabling debug messages through AF_DEBUG environment variable.
  - Added support for managing signals.
- LibAfdal
  - Replacing old data-structure representing mechanism based on GTree with a new data-structure provided by libafdal: AfdalList.
  - Added support for reporting client interfaces about available services according to the user's permissions.
  - Added support for session refreshing: when libafdal level detects af-key expirations, asks af-kernel for a new af-key automatically. If the session expires, it asks client application for the user's password, and then asks af-kernel for a new session.
  - Added support for showing compilation date and time.
  - Added invisible mechanism for reconnecting to disconnected servers.
- LibCoyote
  - Added support for getting IP addresses from incoming connections.
- AF-Kernel
  - Added af-key refreshing service.
  - Changing crypt code from libgcrypt to OpenSSL.
  - Redesigned code for being compliant with new libafgs definition.
  - Added support for showing compilation date and time.
  - Now, if status info is saved in database. This way, if af-kernel is shut down and then restarted, the system continues working with no problem.
- LibAfdalKernel
