Exciting news!

We are announcing one of Amahi’s most important point releases to date (v8.22).

The impact of this release will be barely noticed by most Amahi users, but it lays the foundation to make Amahi accesible to a much wider user base. OK, that might be a little dramatic; there is one feature all users will see, User Management shown in this screenshot (with the Agedashi theme)

The new features introduced in this release, technically known as hda-platform-0.97, has prompted the re-engineering of a substantial part of the platform software, which will allow future growth and more sophisticated features (e.g. integrating LDAP management). It also will allow apps to create their own tabs in the setup area! (We don’t have a demo app for this usage of the API, … any takers? )

Here is a new user being created:

Once users are created, they can be deleted, which will delete all their files, and the full name can be changed by simply clicking on the name.

Among other smaller feature enhancements, we include:

• The “Computers” tab has been renamed to “Networking” based on user feedback (it makes more sense this way).
• Beginning support for LDAP management
• Beginning support for automatic submission of debug logs

We hope you enjoy this and look forward to bringing you more features that take advantage of this new codebase!

Big thanks to Gerald and Roland for the help and encouragement in bringing this new release to fruition.
