Software-update: Data Crow 5.2

Data Crow is een catalogusprogramma dat orde kan scheppen in de chaos van zo'n beetje elke verzameling, of het nu om boeken, cd's, dvd's, software, foto's of mediabestanden gaat. Waar mogelijk wordt allerlei relevante en aanvullende informatie van internet gehaald. Het programma is in Java geschreven en wordt als open source aangeboden. Het is beschikbaar als een zelfstandige applicatie of een serverversie die via een webbrowser kan worden benaderd. Daarnaast zijn er versies voor Android en sinds kort iOS. Versie 5.2 is onlangs uitgekomen en de releasenotes daarvan kunnen hieronder worden gevonden.

Data Crow 5.2 has been released

This is quite a big release. The web client is now a full-featured client. You can search online and add items, lend and return items and use advanced filters. It also has a tree view and can manage templates and property values. Administrators can manage users, modules, backups, server settings and online services from the browser.

Security got a major overhaul. There is two-factor authentication, a password policy, encrypted (TLS) connections between the full client and the server, server-side checks of attachments with an optional virus scan, and a long list of security fixes. It is strongly recommended to change your password(s) after upgrading.

Importing is much improved as well. There is a new generic XML import for files from other collection programs, field mappings can be saved and reused, pictures can be imported from CSV files, and CSV imports are much faster.

Several performance issues have been fixed; the full client scrolls more smoothly and handles items with many child items much better, such as series with hundreds of episodes. Saving items and pictures in the client server mode no longer blocks the application.

And much more;
