ea-Geier wiki updated to 1.19.2

The update was smooth, without problems. If you find any, please let us know.

ea-Geier wiki updated to 1.19.1

The ea-Geier wiki has been updated to the current MediaWiki version 1.19.1. Unfortunately MediaWiki has changed the localization functionality slightly. Thus the settings for the German version of the wiki had to be changed form "de" to "De". In addition the localization of urls seems to be broken in the current version which we could circumvent by patching the ea-Geier skin.

If you notice further localization bugs, please let us know.

domain transfer

... since the transfer of the site to the new server with a new provider went smoothly, we are now going to move the domain handling to the new provider, too. The DNS settings have been mirrored to the new name servers, the ChProv request has been started. We do not expect any hickups, but if there are any, please be patient.

ea-Geier demo move

Setting up the the demo for the ea-Geier, we followed our own instructions from the documentation.
It seems the installed php version of the new server does not like the bundled version of the third-party library ADOdb 4.95a. It actually runs but throws some warnings that his library uses depreciated functions. To prevent that, we could switch of the warnings, but we choose to just download and setup the new version of ADOdb 5.16 like described in the documentation.
It seems they added a new switch for bulk binding in 5.1 thus this has to be enabled in /code/base/db.class.php.
The same issue arises with the Swift library. Using the version optimized for php5 instead of php4 and changing the appropriate lines in /code/base/mail.class.php removes the warnings - however functionality would be unaltered even without those changes. 
And simpletest has changed, too. Now in version 1.1.0 (previously we had 1.0.1beta) addTestFile has been replaced by addFile, and due to the complete change to php5 without backwards compatibility to php4 constructors are handled differently.

The ea-Geier demo currently (formerly) reachable via http://www.ea-geier.at/ea-demo/ has been moved successfully to http://demo.ea-geier.at/. The old link will be forwarded to the new one.

We will update the necessary changes in the code base shortly ...

ea-Geier WIKI move finished

The ea-Geier WIKI currently (formerly) reachable via http://www.ea-geier.at/wiki.en/ (English version) and http://www.ea-geier.at/wiki.de/ (German version) has been moved successfully to http://en.ea-geier.at and http://de.ea-geier.at. The old links will be forwarded to the new ones.

ea-Geier API cloned

The ea-Geier API currently (formerly) reachable via http://www.ea-geier.at/ea-doc/ has been cloned to http://api.ea-geier.at/. The old link will be forwarded to the new one.

The move was smooth, no problems.

ea-Geier will be back - carbon neutral

After a sabbatical of nearly five years, the ea-Geier will see new life.
While the ea-Geier has been downloaded quite heavily and supposedly used as such, no real problems have appeared, no security issues. Some feature requests could be satisfied using small patches ...

As next big step, the ea-Geier will move to a new server. With new hardware, more space, bandwidth and - best of all - hosted carbon neutral!

"ea-Geier worth 203 thousand dollars"

According the software-costing model called COCOMO used by Ohloh the estimated costs to produce the ea-Geier is more than 203 thousand dollars.
