This is a long waited development release which fixes a couple of critical bugs such as issues being submitted as "no name or email" even if we know the name and email. One important new feature is the spam protection support for public issuetrackers.

A new feature is if you want to know the Id of a couple of issues and want to show them on one page you can either create a Report object and run the report (tedious) or you can search for the issues by entering the issue ids one after the other separated by comma, like this

One important bug fix is that if you move or paste an issuetracker from one place to another internal links can get broken. For example, references from issues to user accounts of users who are assigned to an issue. With this new change those references are hopefully readjusted to the new location.

Another new feature is that you can now control the menu items from the Properties page. This is not for the faint-hearted. You need to know what you're doing but it's actually really simple. This is really useful for people who want to have outgoing links for example back into the intranet for example.

The most important bug fix is that if you can log in to the issuetracker (not in a Issue User Folder) as (so called) ACL user then the fullname and email you use is persistently remembered inside the issuetracker instance. This comes in handy if your cookie expires but your username doesn't . If that happened, issues that people like this submitted didn't pick up the fullname and email like the Add Issue page indicated. Thanks to the guys from BioEnable, India for the bug reports that helped me fix this problem.

There are a couple of other minor bug fixes and new features too. See the CHANGES.txt for a fuller story.
