Finally after about 1 year of development, the final, stable Schoorbs 1.0 is here! Schoorbs is a web based room and resource booking system. Schoorbs 1.0 has the following features:
- book rooms & resources grouped by areas
- activity could be log via a simple logging interface
- code is automatically tested by several unit tests
- easy stylable through the usage of a template system
- produces valid XHTML 1.1 output
- packages for Debian and Ubuntu are available
- well documented on the Schoorbs website
Since Schoorbs is a fork of MRBS, we have to mention the changes since the fork:
- flavoured GUI with mircoformats
- Rewritten search inteface
- Added a REST interface, so that Schoorbs could be used as a webservice
- Refreshed GUI, compacter and more modern than MRBS
- runs without register_globals=on and without an emulation of this (security!)
- fixed several SQL injection possibilities
- added a simple logging interface
- removed complicated e-mail code
- rewritten Javascript code to work in modern browsers (using jQuery)
- Javascript and CSS are delivered compress -> speedup in enduser performance (thanks to Rainpress and Packr)

The documentation for my Facharbeit is done, now I will try to get Schoorbs 1.0 bug free and with some hope, there is a stable Schoorbs 1.0 right after Easter. In Beta 2 there were only a few changes:
- Rewritten Search interface
- Several code cleanups and comment improvement
- Fixed some last XHTML errors and warnings

Last steps to go to the final Schoorbs 1.0 release! Introducing the beta status to Schoorbs means that we arrived at the full functionality we wanted to implement for our first stable release. In Comparision to Alpha 5, that are still some changes:
- Rewritten REST interface (including unit tests), REST-calls without using mod_rewrite is now possible too
- Refreshed WebGUI layout (see previous post)
- Several small code cleanups, e.g. the API Documentation is now build without any errors or warnings
- Feature complete + interface freeze for Schoorbs 1.0

Schoorbs has reached nearly the status of ‘Beta 1′. But before it will be released I made some updates on the layout of the GUI. I moved the links to Admin and Help into a box and removed the images I used before. The ‘Powered by Schoorbs’-phrase has found ist new home in it too. This GUI update should make the interface more simple und shouldn’t be impressive, but just nice. There are some other modifications too, but I think you should discover them by clicking on the screenshot.
Feel free to post a (critical) comment on this layout/design!
