Release Available v1.2.0328
28 March 2013
Archived release. This post describes an early version of Disco ICT, so its steps may be out of date. See the documentation for current guidance.
We have seen
a huge take-up of Disco over the past few months, with 20,000
devices, 9,000 jobs and 22,400 users being managed by Disco in 65
different organisations since its release less than six months ago.
The development team is happy to announce the next public
release.
Release Features
Job Details
An entirely new job details page has been implemented. This redesign attempts to focus attention on the next required action and provide support for smaller screen resolutions.
PluginCatalogue New Plugin Framework and Catalogue
A plugin catalogue hosted on discoict.com.au provides plugin updates and a way to further customise Disco to meet the needs of more organisations.
The new ‘UI-extensions’ feature allows plugins to integrate with the Device, Job and User pages.
For example:
NOTE: A plugin is in planning to provide this integration with 3rd-party databases and not yet available.
Performance and Stability Improvements
- StyleSheets are now pre-compiled and compressed which improves start-up time and reliability.
- Document Importing implements better heuristics to locate QR codes and corrects page thumbnail rotation where possible.
- While any modern web browser is compatible with Disco, Internet Explorer 10 (now available for Windows 7) is used thoroughly during testing and is recommended for best performance.
When upgrading: please carefully consider the Update Notes on the Download page.
For further information, refer to the Release Changelog.
