Hi,

I'm pleased to announce the release of Freeside 1.4.1.

Freeside is an open-source, web-based billing and account administration
package for ISPs, web hosting providers, and other online businesses.

You can download the new version, read the documentation, and play with
a web demo at <http://www.sisd.com/freeside>.

Although Freeside is free software, it is supported commercially with
installation, customization, training and support services.  Please
consider our services and help support the development of the software!

Significant changes since 1.4.0:

Major:
- New package price plans to charge for online time or bandwidth based
  on direct query if a FreeRADIUS, ICRADIUS or Radiator radacct table.
  Time online and bandwidth used this billing cycle shown on view
  account screen.
- ACH (electronic check) and phone-bill billing support.
- MySQL 4.1.0 is available with subquery support; updated the install
  documentation, testing is welcome

New reports:
- suspended package browse
- package definition report by # of active customer packages (with links 
  to customer package listing)
- payments report by type and/or date range

Web UI:
- relaxed "first package" restrictions; will find any appropriate
  service with quantity 1
- "Cancel this customer" button to cancel all packages.
- Change package option for easy package changes
- "Unprovision" option for individual accounts
- "unapply payment" option

Exports:
- Suspension and unsuspension hooks added
- Apache
- LDAP
- Added realms/domains to SQL RADIUS export (ICRADIUS, FreeRADIUS,
  Radiator)
- vpopmail commands (shellcommands_withdomain)

Misc:
- Web-based CSV customer and charge import
- payby-default config file and ability to hide billing information
- "Future cancellation" aka "package expiration"
- New "FTP upload" invoice event
- svc_acct-alldomains config file enables accounts to select any domain
- signup server now has separate <SELECT> for state and country (no more
  "AL / US") and respects statedefault and countrydefault
- documentation updates, bugfixes and performance optimizations (works
  with current Mason and PostgreSQL)
