I have been very busy these months, but Galette has progressed anyway :-)

0.8.2 release, sponsored by Hélène of Le Pic was born at the end of may. This release ends SQLite support, but comes with many new features:

• Attach members (for families, per example); it is so possible to use parents coordinates for the child member;
• Add member number;
• Customize member form;
• Add maintainance mode;
• ...

Several bugs have also been fixed.

The complete changelog is as usual aailable from the documentation. Usermanual wll help you with new features.

A bugfix release, and another one tonight has also been released, and ships only bug fixes.

Stay tuned!

EDIT: Obviously, nobody can believe such thing, it was an April Fool.

For a quite long time, I'm wondering if I must keep SQLite support into Galette. It takes very much time, and it is very complex; and for many reasons, I do not have much free time actually, and I have to find a solution.

All things considered; it appears that the worst database engine support is not SQLite, but MySQL.
I've so decided to stop MySQL support in Galette.

In concrete terms, that means all new Galette releases will no longer have MySQL support, but also all bugs and questions related to MySQL will no be processed. Users who use this engine should consider to migrate as soon as possible.

Here is a new Galette release, sponsored by Danielle C. :-)

This release brings a few new features, and fixes some bugs found in the previous release. Please see the full changelog to know the changes.
Of course, upgrading to this latest release is highly recommended...

Very big thanks to Danielle for her sponsoring!

It's been 6 months since last Galette was released...

During this time, even if I became dad another time, I've worked on some important changes provided in this new release:

• complete rewrite of the installation process, more pleasant and logic for the users, and much more flexible for developers,
• use of database component to its new major release, the old one is no longer supported,
• PHP 5.4 as minimum version,
• ...

Some bugs have been fixed, and some other improvements have been implemented, please take a look at the complete changelog. All plugins have also been updated, since old versions will not work with that new Galette.

You can download this release at:

This new progress in the project closes 0.7 series that has been started early 2012, after some time of good and faithful services – well... I hope!

I now have to recover from all that ;)

EDIT: Obviously, nobody can believe such thing, it was an April Fool.

Working on a software like Galette take a lot of time, and I have less time each week. It was an urgent need to find features that take too much time adn to remove them.

Mailings are very complex; and Galette is not designed to be a mailing system, I terefore decided to remove this feature.

Dynamic fields are way too complex as well, and will be removed too.

It's not everyday, those removals will be in the next Galette release, but also in the current one. That means than starting now, people who download Galette 0.7.8 will no longer benefit of those features.
