[ANNOUNCE] Freeside 1.4.0beta1, open-source billing for ISPs
Hi,
I'm pleased to announce the first beta release of Freeside 1.4.0.
Freeside is a web-based, open-source billing and account administration
package for ISPs, web hosts, and similar businesses.
You can see a web demo, read the documentation, and download the new beta
at <http://www.sisd.com/freeside/>.
ObDebian: Although Freeside is not yet packaged, the dependancies are
available in unstable and woody.
Major new features in 1.4.0 include:
- Billing engine has been rewritten and now has support for easily added
"price plans". Included price plans include anniversary billing,
1st-of-the-month billing (pro-rated and subscription), free for N days,
commissions for referrals and per-minute/per-hour charges.
- Customer-to-customer referrals, tracking and commissions.
- Configurable invoice events triggered for delinquent customers can
re-send invoices, suspend accounts, charge late fees, and so on.
- Export and provisioning system has been rewritten. New provisioning
methods can now be "plugged-in" for any service type. Included exports
include BSD and Linux password files, configurable shell commands,
RADIUS (both text and SQL, including groups), BIND configuration files,
Cyrus, vpopmail, and many others.
- Complete set of history tables tracking all changes to the database.
- Job queue with display and retry for provisioning tasks.
- UI overhaul - easier to navigate and use. Quick package order and
one-time charges. Separate billing and service contact information.
Customer comments.
- Performance optimizations.
- Financials have been rewritten. Apply payments and credits against
specific invoices (in whole or in part), or have the system apply
automatically.
- Texas tax.
- Improved documentation and easier install.
