The GêBR release team is glad to announce the first beta release for 1.0. This beta reached important milestones like a new menu designer, DéBR (replacement for the old GêBRME) and groups support. A frequently used flow can now became a menu, using “Export as Menu” option, to be further used with all menus.
Packages for Fedora (also works in Scientfic Linux), Debian/Ubuntu, Mandriva and openSUSE are all available at Download section for you to taste it.
DéBR
The sucessor of the old GêBRME is DéBR, a new menu designer for GêBR. It maintains a very coherent user interface with GêBR itself. It is much cleaner than the old interface and make menu creating and editing much faster and intuitive.
Interface
The interface has a more eye-candy look with new icons and also toolbars and improved popup menus that greatly improved usability.
The navigation bar helps when your memory fails. Things in which order matters now can be moved with drag n’ drop. There is also many other smalls things you’ll love.
Groups support
Finally, GêBR gained groups support. Groups are containers for a set of parameters, making possible to have sets of parameters grouped with a label and even duplicate this set and/or set parameters to be mutually exclusive.
What’s next
GêBR as in beta still gets new features but mostly fixes and tweaking in preparation for the 1.0 stable release, which is going to be the first official release.
