Krecipes 1.0-beta1 Released

1.0-beta1 released - We've got lots of new features to make organizing your recipes easier and more complete.

• Krecipes Handbook integration


• Nutrient status indicator; while editing a recipe, lets you know whether or not nutrient information is complete for a recipe.


• Measurement Converter tool


• Ingredient substitutes (i.e. butter or margarine)


• Ingredient weights, used for accurate Volume->Mass unit conversions based on the ingredient


• Improved unit conversions; there's a separate table for mass and volume conversions and this setup avoids non-sensical conversions (i.e. 1 loaf = ? cups)


• Optimized for quick loading and faster startup times


• Completely re-done recipe view, based on HTML templates. Generated HTML is much cleaner and compatible, and allows for more flexible printing options.


• "Web Book" exporter - exports a collection of recipes into a series of web pages, organized by category.


• Ingredients and properties can be displayed in a variable number of columns in the Page Setup.


• Select which properties to show

Here's a small 1.0 Upgrade Guide to help you get the most out of new features for those upgrading from previous versions.

Qt >= 3.2 is now required, rather than 3.1. Drop me a line if that's a problem with you. I'll see what I can do

NOTE: If 'make' fails on the documentation, run 'make -k' and 'make -k install' rather than just 'make' and 'make install'. This may happen with older versions of KDE.

Want to help? For Krecipes 1.0, here's some things we still need:

• Complete UI translations


• Sample recipes in many languages


• Recipe templates (HTML-based)


• Print templates


• Styles (created in the Page Setup)


• A new splashscreen


• A preparation method icon


• Sample data for non-English locales (see data/data.sql)


• Examlpe data in many languages


• And lots of testing and feedback!

0.9.1 Released

0.9.1 released - This release fixes one particurly ugly bug affecting only MySQL users who are first creating a database with 0.9 (and didn\'t already have a database from an earlier release).

If this problem affects you, after installing this release, you may select in the settings dialog to re-run the wizard at the next startup. At the end of the wizard, selecting to load the default data into the database will wipe out the current, corrupt structure, and then recreate the correct structure.

It can be downloaded at http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/krecipes/krecipes-0.9.1.tar.gz?download

Krecipes Web Frontend (in progress)

A separate project has been created, headed by Nils Kristian Tomren, which allows viewing/browsing Krecipe\'s database from the web. It is located at http://krecipesweb.berlios.de/.

As of the time of this article, no code has been released (but trust me, there\'s already a working implementation completed ) Check out the site above for details on it\'s progress.
