July 2010 - new EBS Rental Portal Release
Ok, we just got release 10.05 out the door. Ok, so it was supposed to be May but we got it out last day of June, and that's really close (ok, not so close). But we have really super news. Rental Portal is now available as a PPA under Ubuntu. So apt-get and everything installs. We will be writing up our notes on exactly what you have to do, but that is pretty much it. Took us a while to figure out the PPA packaging and we will also be creating a write up on that. Source Forge is also updated. Also we have Rental Portal up on Canonical's Launchpad and the source code is also available there. Here is the link to Launchpad. You can add bugs and blueprints for new ideas and check the status of existing bugs and blueprints. The latest release notes are available from the menu on the left.
