Dolibarr 2.7 prévue pour le 30 novembre
Au menu des nouveautés : le module import de données et le module caisse enregistreuse.
Rappelons que Dolibarr est un logiciel modulaire (on n'active que les fonctions que l'on désire) de gestion d'entreprises, d'indépendants ou d'associations. C'est un projet OpenSource basé sur un serveur WAMP ou LAMP (Apache, Mysql, PHP). Dolibarr se démarque des offres de logiciels de cette catégorie comme OpenAguila, OpenBravo, OpenERP (Ex TinyERP), Neogia, Compiere, Adempiere, etc par le fait qu'ici tout est fait pour offrir de la simplicité :
Simple pour l'installation (avec un installeur DoliWamp pour Windows ou Mac, pour ceux qui ignorent comment installer un serveur Apache, Mysql, PHP, un assistant Web pour les autres, aucun composant complémentaire, ni Java, ni Python, ni Perl, ni module PHP PEARL, ni autre librairie exotique). Simple pour l'utilisation (tout module est débrayable pour alléger au maximum les menus, seul le mécanisme des habilitations ne l'est pas). Simple pour le développement (pas de frameworks lourds). Dolibarr, développé en PHP objet, intègre en effet ses propres classes permettant à tout développeur d'être tout de suite opérationnel sans connaissances particulières autre que le PHP).
Il vise donc une cible différente, que sont les PME/TPE, indépendants, professions libérales, micro-entreprises ou associations, la où la sophistication des autres produits les rend plus adaptés aux plus grosses structures.
L'ensemble des fonctionnalités couvertes par cette version sont décrites sur le site Web : http://www.dolibarr.fr/fonctionnalites/
