<hr size="2" width="100%">Dear colleagues<br>
<br>
The development of a new version of ABCD is at the stage of starting
to be tried and tested in order to detect and correct any problems.<br>
<br>
The tests should be done initially on Windows, although in a few
days we will also provide a Linux version for testing.<br>
<br>
The name of this version will be "ABCD v.1.2 transitional", which
will be followed within months by version 1.3, possibly in March
2013<br>
<br>
There is also in development, by Egbert de Smet, the package "ABCD
v.2.0" which will be released soon, possibly by that date.<br>
<br>
The difference between version 1.2/1.3 and version 2.0 is that the
last version includes the module "Digital Library" which was
introduced by Egbert in Antwerp meeting in May this year, requiring
additional Isis technology which is ready and in a testing phase.<br>
<br>
Well, then we need the help of experienced professionals in ABCD,
who understand the basics of installation and configuration of
Apache, and devote a little time to do an orderly evaluation.<br>
<br>
We will deliver two packages, one with Apache 2.2 and other with
Apache 2.4 for Windows. Both packages have included PHP 5.3.11 and
Yaz previously compiled.<br>
<br>
The tests should be done on Windows 7/32 or 64 bits, either one or
both (could also be Windows 2003 or 2008). ABCD works on XP, but we
are not mainly interested in XP.<br>
<br>
For the testing you should uninstall the Apache you have in the PC,
otherwise you will have conflict between versions.<br>
For the "testers" we'll inlcude detailed installation instructions
and a list of all the new features and fixes that are included in
the package.<br>
<br>
The test period is one week.<br>
<br>
We will receive proposals until next Friday 30th, and we'll send FTP
address with username and password to download the packages to
colleagues selected for testing.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance<br>
Ernesto Spinak<br>
