Goal

This is the large development cycle where we rebuild core internal architecture to make the sort of improvements that require those kind of invasive, risky changes.

The primary goal of Jupiter is to:

  • Improve the RPM experience for things it already does

Some specifics include

  • Improve system speed, reliability, and our ability to diagnose problems.
  • Speed future development by renovating areas of code that have become too complex.
  • Introduce a system-wide UI overhaul, including flawless IE 7 compatibility.
[edit]

Phases

We will begin with some refactoring and UI improvements then move on to the new features and remaining bug fixes.

  • March 29, 2006: Phase 1 broken up into 2 phases
  • September 26, 2006: Feature short list made. See Jupiter Deferred Features
  • See the Jupiter FAQ (http://rpmsoftware.com/journal/2006/11/jupiter-faq.html)
  • November 27, 2006: Library management cut, Jupiter deployment accelerated

Phase 1: Refactoring, Staff UI

  1. RpmUser refactoring
  2. DB access refactoring
  3. New Security system for staff users
  4. Jupiter UI for staff users
[edit]

Phase 2: Deployment tools, Agent UI

After this phase RPM will be functionally ready for use, but require a lot of testing.

  1. Apply new security code and UI to agent user interface
  2. DB log
  3. Supplier refactoring
  4. Home page refactoring
    • Attention list updates, customization updates, do something with homepage branding image

Codename

In Roman Mythology Jupiter is the supreme god, patron of the Roman state and brother and husband of Juno. He came to be identified with the Greek Zeus. To us it's the fifth planet from the Sun and by far the largest within our solar system.

Some have described the solar system as consisting of the Sun, Jupiter, and assorted debris

Continues our Solar System naming. All 4.x versions should be Jupiter related.
