12 bug fixes and 4 new features in this release. The most interesting new feature is the captchas for preventing spambots to write spam into publically available IssueTrackerProduct instances. That's been 100% successful on real.issuetrackerproduct.com and demo.issuetrackerproduct.com without being too intrusive.
The spambot prevention comes in two mutually exclusive layers, if you like. You can either enable captchas so the issue/followup submitter has to recognize numbers in images or you can enter a long list of blacklisted words (or combinations or words) or both.
real.issuetrackerproduct.com and demo.issuetrackerproduct.com have both been suffering from spambots but when I introduced this new feature it took care of the problem completely and little user experience expense since you only have to "authenticate" your humanness once per session.
Unfortunately CMF/Plone user support is still experimental. Basic users in CMF/Plone is ok but still might not work with LDAP defined CMF/Plone users.
Thank you Greg Baker and the guys from Biotechenable for bug reports and tips and new ideas!
