From laurent.michel at astro.unistra.fr Fri Jun 10 05:51:17 2011 From: laurent.michel at astro.unistra.fr (Laurent Michel) Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2011 14:51:17 +0200 Subject: Saada 1.6.0 released Message-ID: <4DF21345.6010201@astro.unistra.fr> Saada 1.6.0 released on June 10th --------------------------------- Main novelties are: - EMBEDDED DATABASES: Many Saada users complained about difficulty to install and to setup PostgresQL or MySQL in their institutes. There are unfortunately no generic way to do it. We decided one year ago to work around this issue by replacing client/server databases with a simple file (an SQLITE embedded database) as Firefox does e.g. This release offers an SQLITE support for Linux 32/64bits and MacOS64bits. Just try it and look at the performance.... - TAP/ADQL/UWS: This release comes with a service based on the TAP VO protocol. Queries can be expressed in ADQL and processed in asynchronous mode thanks to UWS. This implementation has been done by G. Mantelet. The UWS package can easily be used outside of the Saada context (see http://saada.u-strasbg.fr/saada/spip.php?article219) thanks to an excellent tutorial also written by G. Mantelet. - WEB INTERFACE: A new RIA Web interface comes with SAADA. It is fully SAMP connected thanks to the WebSampConnector. Query forms allows to graphically build complex queries (either in SAADAQL or ADQL). - DOCUMENTATION: A new tutorial chapter - Getting Started - based on a very simple example helps new users to begin with Saada. -- ---- Laurent MICHEL Tel (33 0) 3 68 85 24 37 Observatoire de Strasbourg Fax (33 0) 3 68 85 24 32 11 Rue de l'Universite Mail laurent.michel at astro.unistra.fr 67000 Strasbourg (France) Web http://astro.u-strasbg.fr/~michel --- -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
