Psych Desktop is now a Dojo Foundation Project

Posted 4 days ago by psychcf

The Dojo Foundation has recently decided to support Psych Desktop. Our membership with the foundation will improve ties with Dojo. We will be donating some parts of the desktop, such as the sound api, to dojo as a result of this. The membership also ... [More] will help us reach out to Dojo's community in order to improve the API, and deliver a better developer experience.

This is also a good time to announce that we will be redoing our site very soon. We understand that the forums we have are not very good, and seldom used. Also, a lot of the content is old, and it's good to start from scratch once 1.0 has been released.

Lastly, I'll tell you all what's happening in trunk. At the moment, it's broken because we're re-writing the server-side code completely using the Zend Framework. The new architecture will feature RPC, XHR long polling, and better server-side apis for apps that require server-side code. The 1.0 branch works, which you can get from http://svn.psychdesktop.net/branches/1.0/.

Development in the past month has been slow, but it seems to be picking up gradually. We really do need some more contributors though, so if you're interested, contact us. [Less]

Fixed version of Katana IDE available

Posted 27 days ago by psychcf

It has recently been discovered that Katana IDE does not work after being built. We've fixed this, and have released an application package that you can install from the apps section of the administration ... [More] panel.

Katana-IDE-fixed.lucid.zip

Installation Instructions:

Log into the desktop as a user with the "api.ide" permission set to "allow".
Find the "Katana IDE" app in the list of applications, right click on it, and select 'remove'. When the yes/no dialog appears, select 'yes'.
Click on the "Install App Package" button on the toolbar. Click "browse" and select the package.
The admin panel should then automatically upload the package. If it does not, click on something other then the upload box.
Clear your browser's cache, and refresh the desktop. The IDE should work now. [Less]

1.0 Alpha 2 released!

Posted about 1 month ago by psychcf

1.0 Alpha 2 has been released! This version features a drastic amount of changes since alpha1. This is the final alpha version. All releases after this will be beta versions, and there will be more frequent releases.

The reason why we ... [More] released a day late was because we were experiencing a problem with the build system. This version has optimized versions of the apps that are compressed and merged into one file for faster execution times.

Downloads:

.tar.gz archive (15.6mb)

1.0-Alpha2 due in two days

Posted about 1 month ago by psychcf

If all goes as planned, we should be done with alpha2 in two days. The only things left to do is fix IE issues, and mimetype guessing (because the windows port of php does not have good mime support).

This will be the last alpha release. ... [More] After that we will release beta1, which will feature some minor cosmetic improvements. During the beta stage we will be releasing on a regular basis until all the bugs have been removed.

So the next release will be 1.1. There are a lot of changes going on in that release. Huge changes to the server-side code structure are going on, including taking advantage of the Zend Framework, as well as using RPC for server-communication. We really could use some help from the community. If you are interested in helping us out, ping psychcf in either IRC or by email. [Less]
