2014-03-06

• Menu structure has changed: to avoid nesting problems and issues with bread-crumb navigation edit and delete actions are now children of the show action
• Track fields split in fields and appointments: check any code using any track field tables directly, track field id's are no longer integers and getFieldsElements() is no longer in use

• Sending emails can be blocked on per respondent or per track

• A required valid until definition for each track round can be set at the project level - for new projects this defaults to ON

• Added support for ODK Collect by adding OpenRosa support
• Added support for data-mining by enabling the storage of all response data in a separate table with one answer per row. To use it check the new project.ini responses setting (can be copied from configs/project.example.ini):

project.ini

;----------------------------------------------------------------------
; RESPONSES SECTION
;
; If responses.adapter is set, then all answers for tokens are stored
; in the gemsdata__responses table.
;
; All params responses fields can be used to overrule the database
; connection settings specified in application.ini/resources.db.
;
; If no adapter settings are specified then the default db adapter is
; used but the advise is to put this data at the very least in it's
; own database so the table specific logging and replication settings
; can be changed.
;----------------------------------------------------------------------
;responses.adapter = Mysqli
;responses.params.charset = utf-8
;responses.params.host = HOST
responses.params.dbname = DATABASE "_data"
;responses.params.username = USER
;responses.params.password = PASSWD

• Export data now operates in batch mode, allowing bigger exports and combining spss files in one download
• Import is possible for most data screens, though respondent import is the only one tested thoroughly.
• New snippet for continuous survey ask-ing with thank you message at the end.
• Stand alone surveys can now be appended to existing tracks
• Project can customize whether the tokens of shared patient are also shared among organizations (default is no)

• New “About GemsTracker” page, implemented as menu item
• Support can now be provided through support, manuals, documentation or forum url's.
• The global variable $GEMS_DIRS is deprecated, redefine it the application.ini using loaderDirs.Gems = …. (see NewProject)
• ZFDebug is now activated in the application.ini using: zfdebug.activate = 1
• New project.ini settings:

project.ini

longDescr   = ""
longDescrNl = "" ; Append language for localised long decription
 
contact.docsUrl    = "" ; The path to the documentation of the project
contact.forumUrl   = "" ; The path to the forum if available
contact.gemsUrl    = "http://gemstracker.org/"

• New application.ini settings (add before the first resource and change NewProject to your own project prefix):

application.ini

loaderDirs.NewProject = APPLICATION_PATH "/classes/NewProject"
loaderDirs.Gems  = GEMS_LIBRARY_DIR "/classes/Gems"

• Numerous small bugs solved

2012-11-30

2012-10-18 rev[880]-rev[991]

• Transparent lessCss compiling was added. When you add a .less file GemsTracker will take care of compiling it to css. If you need to force a recompile, add the ?compilecss parameter to your url.
• Events can be specified at the GemsTracker level as well as the project level
• Surveys can now have their own survey specific display, in a manner similar to event system
• Several interface bugs/improvements were solved/written

2012-07-25 rev[739]-rev[879]

A lot of changes, some of them need your special attention:

• UPGRADE WARNING: Check all your (snippet) extensions to RespondentAction, TrackAction, SurveyAction and project specific versions of ShowTrackTokenSnippet and ShowSingleSurveySnippet:
  • you may need to specify extra parameters as the menu items need to know the organization id
  • Internally code no longer uses the 'Hidden Organization' but expects both an id1/patientNr plus an id2/organizationId to be specified
  • Externally the organization id is still left out of the url when not needed

• New default: user can only login to his own organization and needs to switch after login if desired, to enable old behaviour that could lead to problems with duplicate logins see $allowLoginOnOtherOrganization in Gems_User_UserLoader

• In project.ini, export.wkhtmltopdf has been renamed to export.pdfExportCommand, and which now stores the entire command line to the pdf export binary (wkhtmltopdf, Phantom.js or similar).

And also the following has changed but probably won't need a fix in your project:

• Role editing has become more interactive and safer to use
• New projects start with a basic css template
• The normal time it takes to answer a survey can be added and surveys have a code field
• Export of survey data can be selected by respondent id or by track
• Track and survey maintenance is extended with round and field deletion and more powerfull selection tools
• All maintenance tasks show some explanation on what they do
• New default: Forms are no longer lazy by default. Use $form→setLazy(true) if you need it
• New setting: in project.ini you can set cache to any of “none”, “apc”, “file” to influence what kind of cache to use

2012-06-07 rev[628]-rev[738]

The settings below were added to the project.ini, please review them and add to your own project.ini on upgrade from a previous version.
