Announcing the 0.9.5 release of openDias

That's it. We're done. I'm proud to announce the 0.9.5 release of openDias is ready for download.

Major updates in this release include:

• Added auto tagging, by detect similar documents.
• Moved to username authentication using a new session system.
• Add Dutch translation and fixed a number of German translations.
• Improved scanning (colour and performance).
• Improved UI (print now, date formats, file uploads, error feedback).
• Lots of internal refactors and improvements.
• New tests and increased test performance.

We've not gone. But we're definitely back with a bang.

Some people have been asking - is openDias dead? and for good reason it would seam.


In short, the answer is no. We're still here and with new vigour to get this project going again. Admittedly, there has been a long period where nothing has happened - family and the day job has taken the priority.

It's odd how things come together for no apparent reason. Firstly, there has been a spate of donations recently - many thanks for these. Next, I've been contacted by a few different parties with some interesting ideas that could really improve openDias as a product, and deliver it to a much wider audience. Both of which I'm very excited about.

First things first, though. we need to get the 0.9 version release cut. Expect that SHORTLY!
