Download OpenPetra.org

Even though OpenPetra is not ready for production use yet, you can already download a Preview version. We will regularly release the latest Preview to show the progress of the project and to get feedback from you!

Please report any issues in the forum, and you can also discuss with other users there!

At the moment, only a standalone version of OpenPetra.org for Windows is available for download.
It comes with a base database with some demo data. To login, use the user demo and the password demo.

Below are the most recent Petra releases with the download link and some notes about each release.

First Alpha Release of OpenPetra.org

Saturday, 19 June 2010

Please download the standalone installer here: Download OpenPetra Alpha 0.1 Standalone installer

You may also be interested in the OpenPetra Linux&MacOS package (including files for server and even the client).

Here are the changes and improvements of this particular version:

  • This version marks the change from pre-alpha status to Alpha.
    This means that this version of OpenPetra shows quite clearly what OpenPetra is capable of.
    There is also an english tutorial with sample data on the OpenPetra wiki,
    and you are welcome to use the tutorial to discover the functionality of OpenPetra.
    Unfortunately we have to discourage the production use of OpenPetra at this moment in time, but we invite you to thoroughly explore the features of OpenPetra.
  • You can now add new Special Types for the Partner Edit screen.
  • Big improvements for the Partner Edit screen. You can now create and edit persons, families, organisations etc.
  • It is now possible to have really secure encryption with Public/Private key. Previously, we only had encryption with one single private key which was not so safe since the private key needed to be shared between the client and the server.

Fifteenth Preview Release of OpenPetra.org

Wednesday, 02 June 2010

Please download the standalone installer here: Download OpenPetra Preview 0.0.15 Standalone installer

You may also be interested in the OpenPetra Linux&MacOS package (including files for server and even the client).

Here are the changes and improvements of this particular version:

  • Create new Ledgers. All available ledgers are automatically available in the navigation menu.
  • Import partners from CSV: this will help to import addresses from other sources. You have to confirm each address, and the system will tell you if the partner already exists in the database.
  • The Form letter for first time donors is now part of the OpenPetra system.
  • When sending the form letter, you can create an Extract of all partner keys that will receive the letter, and you can create an entry in their contact history.
  • There is a new screen that allows searching the contact history of all partners, and allows deleting of contact history, in case something was entered incorrectly. The contact history will soon be part of the Partner Edit screen as well.
  • The main navigation screen has been tidied up, we have no demo section anymore, but all functionality can be found in the respective module.
  • User management: add users, change password, assign group membership for permissions (to be implemented later).
  • We have added a number of new reports for partners and addresses: Brief Address Report, Brief Foundation Report, Supporting Churches Report, Valid Bank Account Report, Publication Statistical Report, Bulk Address Report
  • Fixed a bug that would allow closing OpenPetra even if screens were still open with unsaved changes.
  • We have included some sample files for you to experiment with, and an empty database for starting your own production database.
  • Previously when installing a new version of OpenPetra standalone, the SQLite database has been backed up, and a fresh version of the current demo database was installed. This version is the first that will upgrade an existing OpenPetra database, and you will be able to continue with your own data.

  • Improved handling of Gift batches and transactions, now supporting split gifts (donor gives a donation that are split into several recipients/projects)
  • Initial support for importing finance transaction from a bank statement of type MT940
  • The reports did not work in the previous releases, and now work again
