CADminTools 3.3

CADminTools 3.3Finally the code for CADminTools 3.3 is out there (actually it's been out a couple of days, only just getting round to writing about it...)

  • CSV export - get your stats to a spreadsheet and go silly with charts + graphs
  • Auto-archive - user-submitted code for automating the weekly archive...
  • Bulk-loading - a late addition, to help you add many new users (or set up your initial CADminTools user base)
  • Clearer graphs, easier install, simpler license logging, etc... many little tweaks to improve it for newbies
Get your hands on the installer @ sourceforge.net

Over the next few weeks, I'll add more to the CADminToolsDocs page - a wee collection of info on the package.

I'm sure you'll let me know about any early bugs, and hopefully give me ideas + suggestions.

I've already started planning 3.4... with ideas for more automated server-management pages, including:
  • view database space on any of your servers
  • track object counts
  • track server load (usage/hits)
  • + others
Hopefully the open-source foundation of CADminTools will continue to flourish - send me your improvements and hacks, and we'll get them included.

Cheers
Edwin

3.3.1 is now out... a minor update:

- license tracker weekly archive: problem with previous user-submitted code, brought to my attention by Greg + fixed
- license tracker "No Duplicates" drop-down: text wrong, spotted by Peter + fixed
- unused files removed from installer

Cheers
