The LimeSurvey team is pleased to announce the release of version 1.92 RC3. You can download it here.
It fixes all bugs identified in the 1.92 RC2 release, plus adds several new features including:
- Default values now available for the following question types: Date, Short/Long/Huge Text, Multiple ShortText, Multiple Numerical
- array_filter now also available for multiple_numeric and multiple_short_text
- min/max_answers - now also available for all array types, multiple_numeric and multiple_short_text
- min/max_num_value_n - now also available for multiple_numeric
- new question attributes to call validation functions for each sub-question
- Improved validation display - no more pop-ups. If validations rules fail, the validation tip is shown in red (it turns to green if it is OK). For questions with multiple text entry fields, each invalid field will have its background color changed to red to indicate that there is a problem.
- print answers at the end only shows relevant questions
- several fixes to better ensure support for existing surveys
Furthermore, we have updated the wiki documentation to describe how to use the many new features available in 1.92, especially Expression Manager and the new features described above.
We hope this will be the final release candidate before a stable release, so please download and test it. If you find any bugs, please report them on the bug tracker. |

 In our second article on LimeSurvey's 2011 Google Summer of Code students we meet Pooja Narula - an Information Technology student from Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology, Delhi, India.
Pooja is recoding the Database engine developed by 2010 students Maarten Tielemans and Pieter-Jan Speelmans. Although not obvious to the day to day users of LimeSurvey, the database engine is the means by which all survey responses get saved to the database, and the means by which the responses get reported on or exported. In that regard this project is central to the future of LimeSurvey, and something that matters to all LimeSurvey community members.
If you're interested in this project visit the proposal page, and the make any comments or suggestions in the proposal forum.

 In the first of our articles on LimeSurvey's 2011 Google Summer of Code students we look at Aniessh Seth and his proposal to build a central participants database for LimeSurvey.
Aniessh was selected from a number of students who made a proposal looking at this idea. Aniessh's proposal is to create a single database to store a central collection of participants for a LimeSurvey installation. The participants can then be re-used and invited to different surveys easily. The system will allow modification of the records relating to each participant, a system of storing unlimited 'attributes' and values against each one and methods for searching and categorising the participants. The system will work in conjunction with the current token system, but will be an enhancement because the current token system is limited to only work with individual surveys.
If you're interested in this project visit the proposal page, and the make any comments or suggestions in the proposal forum.

The Google Code in 2011 contest is nearly over and once more it was a great success for Limesurvey. Besides lots of awesome work done by our student porting the upcoming 2.0 version to the "Yii" MVC framework some further work was done which we want to present here:
1. One of LimeSurvey’s Google Code-In 2011 projects that didn't include actual programming involved analyzing the statistical data about visits to the www.limesurvey.org website using Google Analytics. LimeSurvey uses Google Analytics to collect a wealth of information about the countries its users are from, their language preferences, their browser preferences, and what pages they view. Full results from the project can be found here.
The data from Google Analytics showed that in the last two years the number of monthly visits to www.limesurvey.org have nearly doubled. In the month of October, the website was visited by people in 185 different countries. Firefox is the most popular browser among users by a large margin. The most common source of visitors is the Google search engine, and the most visited pages other than the main page include the English instructions, demo, and downloads page.
2. One of our students developed a small survey for us to collect more information about the question type usage (fill it out here). The results were analysed by another studend and can be looked at here.
3. To demonstrate the use of certain feature we have created several demo surveys which you can import using the "import" tab when creating a new survey at the Limesurvey admin backend:
- Download Limesurvey Array filter demo survey
- Download Limesurvey Assessments demo survey
- Download Limesurvey Conditions demo survey
- Download Limesurvey Question attributes demo survey
- Download Limesurvey Quotas demo survey
4. To gather some more user feedback, GCi students have created several surveys. Please take some time to fill them out:
- Limesurvey question type usage
- Limesurvey feature usage
- Limesurvey user interface survey
5. Other tasks included translation updates of the most important manual pages to German, French and Spanish or extending existing English documentation.
Feel free to extend the first version of the Limesurvey glossary we created and check out the new "How to create a good survey" tips (please add your thought there!).
We want to thank all students who have helped us, you did a great job! |

The LimeSurvey team wishes you a very happy new year. 2012 is going to be a very exciting year for all the community since we are finalizing the 1.92 version with its lot of outstanding new features based on the powerful Expression Manager engine developed by our core developer TMSWhite (see announcement for the 1.92RC1 release).
At the same time we are actively working on porting LimeSurvey 2.0 to the YII framework. Let me thank all the Google Code-in participants who are working on this project, their commitment and skills are a fantastic help.
So let's start this year by the release of LimeSurvey 1.92 release candidate 2. In this version, we have fixed all of the known bugs with 1.92 RC1 (especially the installer problem) and we are confident that the 1.92 stable release is soon to come. It is now time for you to give it a try (download here), you won't regret it. As always, should you find bugs, please report them to our bugtracker. |
