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 Now in version 1.1.0 (previously we had 1.0.1beta) addTestFile has been replaced by addFile, and due to the complete change to php5 without backwards compatibility to php4 constructors are handled differently.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 ...

API & Demo

The API documentation and the online demo have been updated to version rcA5 (release canditate).

SimpleTest

The SimpleTest test suite has been integrated to run automatic unit tests of each single function or sub unit.

If you have remarks or comments please let us know. Either you can use the comments function of this blog, or the open discussion forum at SourceForge, or the tracker for feature requests at SourceForge.

Directory Structure, Testing, Repository

A directory structure has been defined, to give each file of the ea-Geier an appropriate home. We filled this structure with dummy files and uploaded them into the SubVersion repository.

The test specifications have been started and the Selenium-Core Test suite has been integrated to run automatic regression tests of the web interface.

If you have remarks or comments please let us know. Either you can use the comments function of this blog, or the open discussion forum at SourceForge, or the tracker for feature requests at SourceForge.
