We are pleased to announce the release of version 2.0 of the FastFrame Application Framework and its applications. There are some exciting new features and applications including:
- Added the ability for the user to send a help email.
- Major overhaul of the UI. FastFrame got a whole new look!
- Implemented a “hooks” feature which allows FastFrame apps to be
customized through functions. Examples of login and permissions hooks are
included. - Fixed several potential XSS holes.
- Auth now handles the user not having cookies enabled more intelligently.
- 4 new authentication backends: IP mapping for internal networks, guest
login, ldap, and external website. - Two new applications have been released: Mayday!, a full-featured trouble ticket/issue tracking application and Portal, a simple information portal.
- Several Checkout bugs were fixed. Conflict checking is far faster and item availability is now shown when selecting an item for a reservation or loan.
- A system status message can now be put on the login screen so that all users will see the message before logging in.
Of course there’s much more, and you can read about it in each application’s CHANGES file, but the best way to check it out is to head over to the download section.
