Joomlacode Upgrade

[brad]

Sometime, soon, we're going to be upgrading things on Joomlacode. You may notice some downtime.

Thanks for your patience.

PS RSS feeds are coming

JoomlaCode back online August 21st 2007 (Australian) AEST 10.15am

All appears to have been successful, no immediate issues have been discovered. The following new features have been added in this upgrade.

• Project RSS - RSS Feeds working on a per project basis
• My Queue - Users can now drag and drop items from their 'My Page' into their To-Do queue. The 'My Page' can become quite large with a number of projects, and the queue is a place to store just the most current working items.
• Hierarchical Reporting - Can now include subprojects in the project reporting tab.
• SCM Commit Rules - Define rules for when a CVS or SVN commit can be made against a task or tracker item. EG: You can create a rule on the "Status" field, then edit the field values and check the box next to "Open". So if a person commits an item against a tracker item in this tracker, the commit can only proceed if the status is set to open.
• Jabber Instant Messaging - Each project has a chatroom created and logged. The logs are searchable. Notifications of events on GForge are posted to the chatroom, such as new SCM Commits, Tracker Items, etc
• Email Gateway Enhanced - You can now "add" new tracker items via email, as well as respond to them. The Email gateway also has keywords built in so you can set assignees for tracker items and priorities.
• Transition rules for multiple fields - This now uses checkboxes so you can define transition rules on multiple fields instead of just a single field. GForge AS isn't limited to transitions on Status, and you can define custom notifications to be sent when a transition occurs.
• Sitewide search - Search across all project content, including attachments.
• Tracker Item Browse - Now has "ID" and "Summary" filter boxes.
• Wiki - Now has a versions tab and Breadcrumbs.
• Project Membership Request - You can now request membership in a project, and the project admin will receive a notice that he can approve/deny.
• MD5 Fingerprint - All files in the File service are now imprinted with an md5.
• Project Admins (Tracker Fields) - Drag-n-drop reordering of the Tracker Extra Fields, and Elements in those Fields. No longer need to type numbers in the sort column.
• Project Admins (Doc Manager) - Drag-n-Drop reordering of Doc Manager folders.
• Project Admins (Filters) - can choose which defined filters he wants to use for his
  project and they will automatically be added to the repository by GForge processes.
• Project Admins (SVN) - Can define a directory in CVS or SVN which can be checked out by a GForge process and automatically pushed to a separate website. The project admin first defines a new Module/ACL in CVS or SVN and then checks the radio button to publish it.
• Doc Manager Monitoring - Both monitoring all docs or just individual docs
• Wiki Monitoring - Monitoring all pages or just individual pages

I've been enjoying these upgrades as well, really nice!  Unfortunately I haven't been able to access any project forums for the last few days... has anyone else noticed this?  I'm working on a project using Attend Events, and the forum was a great resource - now I'm lost!

Nice new features at all.
But, i guess something changed/happend, because starting with the 28th of august there are now news and no new projects visible (JC-homepage) ?!

Maybe someone of the JC-admins forgot to enable these 'old' features or they are gone ....

[Tonie]

News and new projects are manually approved, people were busy during the weekend. This is why it sometimes takes some time. Have now approved news and new projects until now.

don't suppose this upgrade might've induced the recurrent "Unhandled PropelException" issue?
