Soon it will be time to make Bugzilla unavailable for 5 hours. This will
be done on Sunday 18 December on 9.00 UTC or:
http://timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=12&day=18&year=2005&hour=9&min=0&sec=0&p1=0
During the downtime I'll upgrade bugzilla.gnome.org to a customized
Bugzilla 2.20. This version is currently running on
http://bugzilla-test.gnome.org/ (not the same database). During the
upgrade you can join #bugs on irc.gnome.org to see the progress.
Persons wanting to test the new Bugzilla can do so at
http://bugzilla-test.gnome.org/ using their b.g.o username and password.
Bugzilla-test contains a backup of the b.g.o database. It is not linked
with b.g.o in any way. Do not use it for normal work. Email on
bugzilla-test is disabled, so feel free to change bugs. Note that there
are changes and new features still underway; some are expected to land
before the 18th, while others may be incorporated later.
Main features already implemented in the customized Bugzilla are:
* Looks better (with help from Andreas Nilsson)
* Limits the UI to the action you can perform. E.g. no confusing
bug page when a user is logged out or lacks permissions.
* A report showing an overview of your bugs (reported or assigned). This
page is like 'My Front Page' on bugzilla.redhat.com, but can show
bugs for other users as well.
Example: http://bugzilla-test.gnome.org/describeuser.cgi
* A report showing everything you'd want to know about a product. The
report will show blockers for the current stable and development
GNOME versions. Also the number of bugs per
component/priority/version with the ability to see these in a buglist.
The intention is that maintainers can use this page as their
homepage (at least for development related work).
Example: http://bugzilla-test.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=nautilus
* Addition of a simple search page that allows advanced queries thanks
to Elijah Newren.
Example: http://bugzilla-test.gnome.org/query.cgi?format=short
Help: http://bugzilla-test.gnome.org/page.cgi?id=boogle-help.html
* Ability to automatically cc yourself on bugs you change. This is a
preference (can be changed under 'Account').
* Integrated stock responses (the nice get-a-better-stacktrace and
file-more-dupes messages). Only shown when appropriate (unconfirmed
bugs and persons with editbugs privileges).
* Very fast simple-dup-finder (allows finding duplicates of a
stack trace). The show bug page will link to this report when the
bug is unconfirmed and you has editbugs permissions.
* Uses the same patch-status customizations (UI-wise) as our current
bugzilla installation thanks to Elijah Newren. This means that you
can use dropdowns to change the patch-status on the main show_bug
page at the same time you modify priority/version/etc. instead of
having to load up a separate page.
* Avoids showing email addresses when someone is not logged in (to
protect against spam bots harvesting them).
* New mail header X-Bugzilla-Watching. Contains the person(s) you watch
on the bug (separated with a ",").
* Reassignment is split from status/resolution changes. Meaning: can
dupe and reassign at the same time.
* Bug-buddy users will now get a normal Bugzilla account. When the
account is created via bug-buddy, the reporter will receive an
explanation message (including their password). Almost all existing
bug-buddy users will be silently converted to Bugzilla accounts.
Main features of Bugzilla 2.20:
* Improved patch-viewer (see diffs in color like on viewcvs, etc)
* Attachments will provide the filename
* Facility to generate periodic reports on a scheduled basis and mail
them to people (do not abuse this -- slows down the server)
* Buglists can be imported to Evolution (etc) in the iCalendar format
* Buglists can be used as a RSS feed
* Different (hopefully better) way of threading the bugmails
* Checkbox to cc yourself on a bug
* Can clone the main fields of bug into a new bug
* Addition of a 'General Prefences' panel in the Account page,
currently allowing:
* What order to view comments on a bug (most-recent comments at the
top is now an option)
* The list separator character to use in CSV buglists
* To auto-cc yourself on bugs you change (b.g.o customization)
* Logging in will redirect to index.cgi instead of query.cgi
* The email preferences page now lists who is currently watching your
account
* Saved searches are now maintained in a new user preferences tab
* A login form is now included on the index/home page
