Screenshots of FA 2.4 Beta - Install, Usage and Extensions available.

FA v2.4 beta can be installed after incorporating the fix detailed in this post.

sys_types and movement_types tables are still present in en_US-demo.sql while being absent in en_US-new.sql - not used in FA 2.4.

journal, reflines and wo_costing are the new tables introduced in FA v2.4.

If you have installed the en_US-demo.sql, then update the currency symbols with:

UPDATE `0_currencies` SET `curr_symbol`='£' WHERE `curr_abrev`='GBP'; 
UPDATE `0_currencies` SET `curr_symbol`='€' WHERE `curr_abrev`='EUR'; 

The demo data has been pruned and computer images (items) have been replaced with the more contemporary cell phone images.

PDFs render well in windows without any cludge fixes anymore.

rep709.php fix in FA v2.3 not ported to FA 2.4 as yet.

demouser is no longer in the en_US-demo.sql

The $src_version variable is now "2.4 beta" and is different from the $db_version which is "2.4.0" in version.php.


Anyone using it in production?

Attempting to install FA v2.4 (latest current unstable master) will result in the following error:

Call to undefined function cache_invalidate() in D:\WebServers\XAMPP\htdocs\fa24\admin\db\maintenance_db.inc on line 248

.

Have informed the devs a few days ago but the fix has not been incorporated yet.

During installation, after filling in the db parameters, on submission, there is an error due to recent inclusion of the function cache_invalidate() in FA 2.4's includes/session.inc, without including it in the install/isession.inc file.

The fix is to append the following snippet of code to install/isession.inc:

/*
 Ensure file is re-read on next request if php caching is active
*/
function cache_invalidate($filename)
{
 if (function_exists('opcache_invalidate')) // OpCode extension
  opcache_invalidate($filename);
}

A cron job to flush out stale pdfs is one way. Randomised file names are another way. Multiple ways to beat file snooping will be needed in the meanwhile till we plug this one. Currently, the preferred method is possibly making a linux user with permissions for viewing the folder having the reports.

Enable MySQL logging and see if anything turns up.
If an external DB Dump from phpMyAdmin is available then it can be analysed for any non escaped characters and / or data size issues.

Thanks for the feedback.

@joe: is another release in the 2.3 series due?

TCPDF 's UTF-8 option embeds the font file in the generated PDF. You can try to turn t off by tinkering with the defaults in TCPDF.

In general, it wll be best for you to replace all files that have changed since the release of FA v2.3.24 but in this instance, it should be okay for you to just replace the it with the one in the dev repo.

Read the Wiki page on it under dejavu.php missing - TCPDF Font Failure part.

Please paste the line 59 in your version of FA's includes/ui/ui_controls.inc file. If it is as per the latest commit, then my answer in the 6th post herein would solve the issue.

Check the barcode scanner setting for field termination - in some cases it is a tab (\t) and in others it is a carriage return (\r\n) or Enter key.

Anything wrong with the official Dutch / Belgian CoA?

Read the wiki on REST APIs available for interface with FA.

Is your delivery matching the invoice or are they independant? Otherwise, your database is corrupt or needs re-indexing.

The devs will generally hammer out one when they have time - priorities.....

The FA Mantis Bug Portal is where it generally goes, but the devs can take it from here as well.
