IssueTrackerProduct

The 0.6.4 release adds several new features such as the user-friendly system error pages, auto-login for Issue Users, Compact List Issues, ZCTextIndex support amongst others. In total there are more new features than bug fixes. But don't let that scare you.

• If there is a system error which is due to a bug in the IssueTrackerProduct you now get a much nicer error message that even tries to explain the error in English and not only in Python. With the error, a log file is created and uploaded for you to download if you want to modify what details you are reporting when you submit your bug report. The error page also catches Page Not Found, 404's, and tries to find the page you were looking for. Look at this screenshot
• When you enter the "Always notify" people you can now be more lazy and enter either the username or the fullname of any user that is specified in a Isse User Folder. Whatever you enter gets cleaned up and rerepresented in a simple way.
• If you press the Save Issue button and nothing happens because your Internet connection might have gone down or be slow, you might be tempted to press it again which could result in duplicate issues (or followups). Now that's a thing of the past! Duplicates are always prevented with a check in favor of the first one you submitted.
• Some cookies weren't stored correctly which resulted in that they expired when you close the browser window. This affected people who don't log in as Issue Users.
• Compact List Issues makes it possible to compress the list of issues onto one single page with slightly less information. Something I personally have switched to on most of my instances.
• If you search for something that is a section, a status, a type, an urgency or an email or name you get a little polite warning suggesting that you could try the filter feature instead. Try searching for taken, Documentation or Peter
• The ZCatalog (used within for searches) now uses a much improved text index called ZCTextIndex which won't make searches faster but more accurate and since this one is more clever you can search with boolean expressions for example and this one ignores what is not real words.
• When you are about to submit an issue and you preview it first you can now see which people will be notified once you press the Save Issue button. This came out of several peoples confusion complaints. People have said it's difficult to know who's being notified even though they will find out after they've submitted the issue. Thank you Marcus Scotti for the inspiration.
• If you search for an issue by it's Id with a # (e.g. #0010) it jumps immediately to the issue not doing a search. If you search for 0010 it might go immediately to the issue with that Id unless the Id "0010" is mentioned inside some other issue or followup.
• If you like Id's and you want them to be displayed whereever the title of issues is shown you can go to the bottom of the advanced properties in the Properties tab inside the ZMI. There's a switch there to always show Id's next to the title. Upon request by Brent Skinner on the mailing list.
