Third-Party Libraries

Five of the third-party libraries we use for the ea-Geier have released new versions:

ADOdb - database wrapper - 496a
ProtoType - JavaScript framework - 1.6.0
Selenium - Interface test suite - 0.8.3
SimpleTest - unit test suite - 1.0.1beta2
SwiftMailer - mail library - 3.3.2

The code has been adapted to those changes and is available in the subversion repository at SourceForge. Note that third-party libraries are not part of the repository, but will be part of the next release.

The SwiftMailer library has to be adjusted to be used with the ea-Geier. If you need the adjusted library before the next release, let us know.
