Hi everyone,
LedgerSMB 1.4.3 has been released. There is a significant problem fixed here which everyone should be aware of. The currency formatting settings moved from per installation to per-company, but the sales tax calculations used the old location and therefore rounded off to the nearest whole currency. This only affected users of 1.4.0 - 1.4.2. If anyone has a need to go through and determine what the impacts are for sales tax regulation, please contact me, as I am glad to put some time into helping mitigate this problem. The issue has been fixed going forward. There are a number of other minor fixes.
We also have a major enhancement, namely the ability to run LedgerSMB via starman with no additional configuration effort (you may still need to configure PostgreSQL, but starman's configuration is entirely self-contained). This reduces the complexity of getting started considerably.
To use Starman, simply:
perl Makefile.PL, select the options for the standalone server.
make
starman tools/starman.psgi
LedgerSMB will be available at localhost:5000/
login.pl and localhost:5000/
setup.pl
