I am pleased to announce the release of PloneCollectorNG 1.2.0 a1 (PCNG) PloneCollectorNG is a Plone-based bugtracking solution and framework. Changes in V 1.2.0 alpha 1 (19. April 2004) * Workflow: added support to have different workflows in different PloneCollectorNG instances (per-instance workflows). Workflows definitions are no longer maintained as .zexp files. They have been migrated to Python code and are now stored inside the workflows folder. The workflow histories of all issues must be migrated when you upgrade from V 1.1.X to V 1.2 or higher: o Backup your Data.fs before performing the following steps o run the pcng_migrate_120 script for every PloneCollectorNG instance to perform a migration of all issues (except the backup of the Data.fs) o Warning: change the workflow only as long as there are no issues yet. Changing the workflow on an instance with existings issues might result in data loss or unpredictable behaviour (no support in this case) * added issues submission through email * PloneCollectorNG license changed to LGPL (GNU Lesser Public License) V 2.1 * Collector instances have now a new preference schemata where you can override the slot settings of Plone to increase the horizontal space for PloneCollectorNG instances (re-use left and/or right slot) * Collector "staff tab": Showing both topic groups and GRUF groups for a user * "Jump to ticket" has been broken * API change: Translateable.translate() -> Translateable.Translate() * Collector "staff tab": greatly improved usability by allowing the assignment of GRUP groups as support, reporter or tracker administrator * added manage_beforeDelete() hook to unindex a PCNG instance if renamed or deleted * fixed japanese catalog files * anonymous users are no longer allowed to use the edit action (only allowed to staff members) * workaround for long outstanding InvalidObjectReference bug * enabled support for Archetypes 1.2 (references between issues are not supported with AT 1.2.X) * issues can now be searched by date * The PCNG member preferences have been moved as configlet to "My preferences" * misc UI tweaking to make it more Plone2ish * PyCrypto (www.amk.ca/python/code/crypto) must be installed if you want to use the "issue submission through email" feature. WARNING: - PERFORM A FULL BACKUP FOR YOUR Data.fs ***BEFORE INSTALLING*** PCNG Volunteers wanted: PloneCollectorNG is fully internationalized. If you want PCNG to support your language that translate the catalog file (i18n folder) to your language and submit it to me. Note: Any user should read doc/INSTALL.txt before the installation. Upgraders should reinstall the PCNG either through the quickinstall tool or through "Plone setup".
