After some time of hard work, it’s finally time to release the first alpha version of Schoorbs, a fork of MRBS, a room and resource booking system. The major changes in Schoorbs made it necessary to create a fork, because the differences in the codebase of Schoorbs and the CVS version of MRBS were to big, which makes a merge impossible. The major changes are:

  • a new fileystem structure
  • a redesigned input checking system
  • a REST-API
  • some efforts to make it MVC (we’re using Smarty as template system)
  • a restructured GUI (including valid(!) XHTML & CSS)
  • more security through a long source code analysis (this was a scholar work of mine)

We are still using the same database structure and config-file as MRBS so you just have to copy your old config.inc.php into the new Schoorbs directory and it schould run out of the box.
