Update: Renewing your subscription is now possible again - we had a small bug in our site, but it's working fine now!
While we are still rolling out changes to valanx.org and a few last features are still left to be done, we figured that it was about time to give people what they wanted all the time - a shot at the latest AEC version. So if you have no problem knowing that you will have to update again this Tuesday, you can get the beta version right now over here. The site is not open for free memberships anymore starting right now. If you previously had a paying membership, you can get the latest release at a discount when using the coupon code GPLWOOT09 (and yes - it will not work if you only had a free membership so far). Please note: - There may be issues with Joomla 1.0 - we have had trouble with some server configurations
- There is still one last issue with Authorize.net CIM and PayPal WPP. If you have a test server configuration that we can use, that would be awesome! (We also worked on Express Checkout if you need another reason to give us a hand.)
- Apart from that, the only unfinished feature is the Tax helper MI - which you can attach to your payment plans or groups to apply sales tax.
As for valanx.org: - We still haven't finished the new Support section but will add in stuff as we go along. We should be done with everything on Monday, so please excuse the mess right now.
- The Video Tutorials will go up before the written manuals
And once again - thanks for your patience - we're nearly done!

Updating our Terms of Service |
|
Written by David

With all the new changes, we had to adapt our Terms of Service. The changes are somewhat subtle and will in no way affect existing memberships in any way (although, of course, one byproduct is the termination of free accounts). The main goal was to slim down the document a bit - to get a good overview of the changes, please read the (honestly short and well readable) text after the jump.

New AEC Version & Site Restructuring this week |
|
Written by David
|

Just to keep everybody posted: The new changes are rolling in - we are currently working on our site styling and on preparing the new AEC Tour. The new version is pretty much finished and we are doing the last rounds of stress testing at the moment. I don't want to make a "It will go out on Wednesday" kind of commitment right now (things happen, buildings explode...), but I wanted to give everybody a heads up that the new version is coming this week. Cheers!

Upcoming changes in our pricing structure |
|
Written by David

As I have hinted at before - our pricing is going to change with the new commercial GPL structure. The most important changes are: - "Basic Support" is gone
- "On-Server Support" is now standard
- Refined Install options
- New "Access" and "Upgrade" plans
And just to make that clear: If you already have a paying membership here at valanx.org right now, the upcoming version won't cost you a thing!

Why the next version of AEC will be commercial GPL |
|
Written by David

There has been a lot of talk about commercial GPL in the past months and a lot of talk about the business model here on valanx.org lately. Very soon (with the next stable release), we are going commercial GPL with AEC. And here is why:

Following up on the last blog post, I would like to open our bug tracker to five members of the community on valanx.org - If you are interested, please go to the forum thread right here and put in a text on why you want to join in. While I wrote earlier that I fear that opening the bug tracker to everybody would create more problems that it would solve, I think this step could help to establish a small bug-hunting group that will surely be able to deal with the information that is coming in through the forums better than I could ever do it myself. Or have already failed at myself.
