Linux Canada Inc. announces
Quasar(tm) Accounting software is now “Open
Source” available under GPL.ALBERTA, CANADA – Linux Canada Inc. proudly announces the
release of Quasar Accounting into “open source”. In addition, Linux
Canada is pleased to announce the release of Version 1.4 of Quasar
Accounting, Quasar Retail and Quasar Point-of-Sale.
Quasar Accounting – Open Source Model
For some time Linux Canada Inc. has been viewing and studying
the open source code models. As strong believers and supporters of Linux and
open source the company has recognized that it is impossible for one small
development team to support business needs world wide in a closed source
environment. It is also apparent, in these changing times, that source code is
paramount to resellers and users taking a business application
seriously. In the past two years over 30,000 copies of Quasar
Accounting have been downloaded. And now, with the release of
Version 1.4, Quasar Accounting is a solid and more complete
product. The company feels the timing is right to move to open
source with the Quasar Accounting application. Linux Canada Inc.
will continue to develop Quasar Accounting and will make the source
code available for download from our source code repository for
resellers, end users and open source enthusiasts. Linux Canada Inc. has
expanded its support program options and will also make commercial Quasar
Accounting licenses available for those who require or desire such licenses.
Quasar Retail and Quasar Point-of-Sale are available with a commercial
license.
Quasar Accounting, Quasar Retail and Quasar Point-of-Sale – Release
1.4
Version 1.4 now supports PostgreSQL, in addition to the Firebird and Sybase
databases. There are substantial new and improved functions
including new security controls, improved lookup and search
features, and the addition of several new screens and reporting
functions. The new automatic ordering function which is based on
min/max levels and/or sales history, makes creating purchase orders
very fast and easy. New day-end and cash reconciliation procedures
enhance the day-end process for our retail customers.
