[ANNOUNCE] Freeside 1.4.1, open-source billing for ISPs



Hi,

I'm pleased to announce the release of Freeside 1.4.1.

Freeside is an open-source, web-based billing and account administration
package for ISPs, web hosting providers, and other online businesses.

You can download the new version, read the documentation, and play with
a web demo at <http://www.sisd.com/freeside>.

Although Freeside is free software, it is supported commercially with
installation, customization, training and support services.  Please
consider our services and help support the development of the software!

ObDebian: Freeside is not yet packaged (assistance is welcome)
but all dependances are packaged.

Significant changes since 1.4.0:

Major:
- New package price plans to charge for online time or bandwidth based
  on direct query if a FreeRADIUS, ICRADIUS or Radiator radacct table.
  Time online and bandwidth used this billing cycle shown on view
  account screen.
- ACH (electronic check) and phone-bill billing support.
- MySQL 4.1.0 is available with subquery support; updated the install
  documentation, testing is welcome

New reports:
- suspended package browse
- package definition report by # of active customer packages (with links 
  to customer package listing)
- payments report by type and/or date range

Web UI:
- relaxed "first package" restrictions; will find any appropriate
  service with quantity 1
- "Cancel this customer" button to cancel all packages.
- Change package option for easy package changes
- "Unprovision" option for individual accounts
- "unapply payment" option

Exports:
- Suspension and unsuspension hooks added
- Apache
- LDAP
- Added realms/domains to SQL RADIUS export (ICRADIUS, FreeRADIUS,
  Radiator)
- vpopmail commands (shellcommands_withdomain)

Misc:
- Web-based CSV customer and charge import
- payby-default config file and ability to hide billing information
- "Future cancellation" aka "package expiration"
- New "FTP upload" invoice event
- svc_acct-alldomains config file enables accounts to select any domain
- signup server now has separate <SELECT> for state and country (no more
  "AL / US") and respects statedefault and countrydefault
- documentation updates, bugfixes and performance optimizations (works
  with current Mason and PostgreSQL)
