[Zope-Annce] [ANN] CMFCollectorNG 0.20alpha1 released

[Andreas Jung]

I am pleased to announce the release of CMFCollectorNG 0.20 alpha 1.

CMFCollectorNG is a Zope/CMF-based bugtracking system (based on
CMFCollector).

Major features of CMFCollectorNG:

    * major code cleanup and complete new skins
    * very generic to add new ticket properties to a tracker
    * enhanced tracker configuration through the web
    * extend usage of the CMF memberdata tool to store user informations 
and user preferences
    * rewritten transcript to keep issue related informations in an 
abstract format to produce different output (HTML, plain text for email 
notifications)
    * tickets can have references to other tickets (also across 
CMFCollectorNG instances)
    * dedicated views for uploaded files and references to other tickets
    * better roles management:
          o TrackerAdmins manage the tracker
          o Supporters can file tickets, create followups, upload files, 
add references to other tickets
          o Reporters can file new tickets and upload files and references
    * XML export (to be used with XMLRPC)
    * watchlist/monitoring functionality
    * Plone compatibility (90% done)
    * much more minor improvements (too much to mention them :-) )

Changes in 0.20:

    * translated UI to english (many thanks to Helge Tesdal)
    * reworked SearchableText() implementation
    * added Watchlist (authenticated members can "subscribe" to a ticket 
and receive notifications)
    * added selection window for ticket references
    * fixed Python 2.2 compatibility issue
    * added introspection support for issue properties
    * fixed several MSIE 5.5/6.0 Javascript compatibility issues
    * assigned supporters have now permission to edit the tickets they are 
assigned to
    * new popup calendar (no longer crashes Mozilla)
    * the last search inside a tracker is now stored inside the users 
session object (Zope sessions support must be available and enabled)
    * refactored XML support
    * re-added full support for confidential tickets
    * using "main_template" instead of "collector_template"
    * bugfixes...

Note:
This release introduces an English UI (release 0.10 was in German only). 
Some
more i18n integration work need to be done but full core functionality is
available. The German UI is *not supported* in this alpha 1 release. Full
i18n integration is planned for the first beta coming hopefully very soon.
