Zoph 0.9.1 released

22 Feb 2014 by jeroen

Zoph 0.9 and 0.9.0.1 were released in 2012, so it is about time a new release sees the light! A lot of work has been put into this new release, even though it has only one major feature added. As of Zoph 0.9.1, almost all of the configuration options in config.inc.php have been replaced by a user-friendly web GUI.

Besides, that, it's only small features I have added or modified. See the changelog for more details.

But, there is more, I have also worked hard to modernize Zoph's code. A proces that I have started several years ago and that will continue for some time. Slowly, I am modifying Zoph's code to meet today's standards of coding. To prevent that process from causing too many bugs, I am doing that one step at a time. As a part of that process, I have started to create automatic tests that will automatically run parts of Zoph and check if the code returns the expected results. As of now, about 20% of Zoph's code is automatically tested. The majority of the work for this release has been these modernizations of Zoph, something you will not (should not) notice when you install this software, however, in the long run, this should lead to less bugs and easier development of new features.

Zoph 0.9.1 is a feature release, this means that it is meant as a preview of the next stable release, which will be v0.10. That means that Zoph 0.9.1 is not a stable release. Having said that, I have been running development versions of v0.9.1 on my system for several months now, so the rough edges have been shaved off by now.

The new version can be downloaded for Sourceforge: zoph-0.9.1.tar.gz.
