Sahi V3 2009-10-22 released on SourceForge

Folks,

We have just released Sahi V3 2009-10-22 on SourceForge (Download here).

We have been releasing updates to Sahi frequently and intend to continue it. But as a user it has not always been easy to consume each update, because one needs to copy over scripts, certs and configuration each time.
To simplify this Sahi now has the concept of a userdata directory. This tries to keep all user specific data in one place independent of Sahi. One can set the properties SAHI_HOME, SAHI_USERDATA_DIR and SAHI_EXT_CLASS_PATH and invoke Sahi from anywhere. Have a look at userdata/bin/start_sahi.bat to see how it is used.

Each property in sahi.properties can be overridden in userdata.properties. Sahi will first look for the property in userdata.properties and then, if not found, look in sahi.properties.

You can now start Sahi from userdata/bin/start_sahi.bat instead of plain sahi/bin/sahi.bat. Note that sahi/bin/sahi.bat will also work properly.

For a simple user, all that has changed is that folders for scripts, certs etc. have moved into userdata folder. You need not worry about anything else. Hope you continue to enjoy using Sahi.

Do not forget to add testimonials if you like Sahi or have a user story to share.

Regards,
The Sahi Team


Below is the changelog for this release:

22 Oct 2009

---

This is a major release where the directory structure of Sahi has been changed.
SAHI_HOME and SAHI_USERDATA_DIR system variables can be declared and Sahi can be invoked from anywhere on the system.

All userdata has been moved into sahi/userdata directory. Sahi can be started using sahi/userdata/bin/start_sahi.bat or start_sahi.sh.
The userdata directory can be copied to any other location on the filesystem. SAHI_HOME and SAHI_USERDATA_DIR need to be correctly set in start_sahi.bat
This helps upgrading to newer versions of Sahi easier.
To point to a new version of Sahi, one needs to only change SAHI_HOME in start_sahi.bat.

* Features added
User specific data moved to sahi/userdata directory.
Configuration properties are picked from userdata.properties and if not found, default to sahi.properties.
