Infolog version 4.0 released

Infolog version 4.0 is released! The communication between the client and the server now uses a Rest webservice. This enabled me to write an Android client as wel. When upgrading, please note that data is now stored in json format. Before upgrading, make sure all your notes are on the server. See Infolog page for details about the program.

Infolog version 3.0 released

Infolog version 3.0 is released! The communication between the client and the server now uses Jax-ws. By using a webservice it is much easier for system administrators to setup secure communication over https. By using existing infrastructure already available on your webserver, you can put the Infolog server behind it without the need to create an extra certificate.

Infolog version 2.1 released

Recently I have been fooling around with the Google WindowBuilder Pro. This is the best GUI builder for Java I have used so far. My only complaint: it is quite unstable! For the rest, it is very easy to use, especially support for LayoutManagers is superb. I used it to create some configuration dialogs for the Infolog Desktop application and today I released Infolog version 2.1. Configuration of the look and feel and the synchronization is now much easier through these dialogs:

Infolog version 2.0 released

Yesterday I released Infolog version 2.0. With version 2.0 I took a different approach how to communicate with the server. Instead of updating items on the server directly and communicating this to all connected clients, a client is now completely independent. A client is capable of synchronizing with the server on regular intervals. By making the client completely independent of the server it is now much easier to run it as a standalone application when someone does not want to use it in conjunction with Egroupware.

Further enhancements include:
– Better readable README with explanation about using the application over ssh.
– Small improvements such as nicer icons to be used on the taskbar.
– Several bugfixes, e.g. using non-standard ports for Java RMI did not work in version 1.0.

Infolog upload refreshed

Due to a bug the program was not able to handle empty properties. Therefore a new download is set on launchpad with dummy values for ip, username and password. To get the program running just make sure every key has a value e.g. password = a.
