Psych Desktop 1.0 Alpha1 Released!
I'm pleased to announce that Psych Desktop Alpha1 is released! This release has been roughly a year and a half in the making. Built off of the new dojo 1.1.0 release, and dojo's shrinksafe javascript compressor, we are confident that this is as optimized as much as possible for excellent performance and load times.
***UPDATE*** At 7:25pm EST we updated the uploaded files. When building the release I forgot to add the login form as a layer (and so it was not optimized), and I also forgot to remove the email client application. You can fix your installation by deleting the email client from the administration panel, and by copying /desktop/dojotoolkit/login/Form.js to your server. Sorry for any problems I may have caused!
Known Issues
- IMPORTANT! Admins aren't given access to the IDE by default. This was a mistake and we have fixed it in trunk. You must add this permission to yourself from the admin panel. If you do not have perms the IDE will not work when you save any changes to the app.
- Providing an email when making a new user will create a validation error. The workaround is to leave the email field blank, and set a real email when the user shows up in the table (by double clicking on the cell).
- The RSS reader app will break if you add your own feeds and then restart the program.
- The terminal is buggy
- Having more then one panel on the same edge of the screen will result in occasional placement bugs
- Transparent PNGs don't display correctly in IE

Also, we will be having a developer meeting in our IRC room (freenode.net #psychdesktop) on Saturday, March 29th, 2008 from 2:00pm-3:00pm EST. Here we will discuss goals we have for alpha2, as well as discuss the upcoming branding change, among other things. Even if you're not a developer, we would love to see you there and get some input from the community.
