the user if the have Edit User's

Version 2.3.1 (Development)
---------------------------
New Features:
o Moved custom fields from resources bundles into the database
o Added the ability to import users, projects, issues into ITracker from an XML file
o Added attachment support to the API
o Updated the API to allow for issue updates
Feature Changes:
o Changed all session ejbs, except the web services ones, to only use local
interfaces
o The plugable authentication interfaces and classes were changed to allow
for other types of authentication information than passwords (shared secrets,
certificates), and to differentiate requestors (eg web app, api).
o The plugable authentication now checks both request attributes, and then if form
data, for plain text and encrypted password data.
o The plugable authentication was extended to check if certian types of
user information is allowed to be processed through ITracker. The supported
types are core profile, password, preferences, and permissions.
o The plugable authentication was changed to so that permissions are pulled
from the authentication source.
o Added better i18n support for mysql. Changes to the db creation scripts
and a new filter for request processing.
o Added code to support custom fields and attachments in an export
o Changed the XML to use both a system ID and a unique id for better DOM support
o Changed the resources bundles so an individual key could be updated. This
allows the system to update cached values without reloading all the locales.
o Added code to surpress component and version sections on forms if none are defined
for the project
o Changed all attachments to be stored in the database form the filesystem. This
makes them more portable and also accessible from the EJB's
o Added in code to move preexisting attachments into the database
Fixes:
o Fixed a bug in edit preferences where the form would not load correctly.
o Fixed a bug where the option value would be displayed instead of the label
on list custom fields.

circumstances.
o Fixed a bug where the activity owner wasn't set correctly when an owner was
assigned to an issue when it was created.

new page is as a resource property.

o Fixed some bugs when updating a language online.
o Fixed a bug where on the issue create screen some of the data would be lost if
the page did not pass validation.
o Fixed error handling on report page when no project is selected.
o Fixed some forms to always use session based attributes for data. This allows
validation to work better if javascript is disabled. There was no need for request
based attributes since all forms were using transactional support that prevented a
user from having more than one form open at a time (in a single session).
o Fixed code so that users with Edit User's permission can be issue owners.
o Fixed spacing between columns on main page and list issues to make it easier to read
when fields are close together
o Fixed view issue with fixed resolutions to show the appropriate text

changes on ITracker won't actually change the password in the remote system.
o Added new ability to move an issue into a different project
o Added a scheduler so that scheduled tasks can be performed on issues/projects
o Added new project option to disallow attachments for a project
o Added a configuration parameter so you can change the header logo to an

--------------------------
Feature Changes:
o Changed locking for JBoss to NoLock. This means that without changes
to the jboss.xml file, ITracker will only run on JBoss version 3.0.3+.
If you wish to run it on an older version, you will need to change
the entity locking back to MethodOnlyEJBLock from NoLock.
o Changed code to make it easier to add reports. Now the only changes
required is adding a new line to struts_config.xml, listing the report
in the ResourceBundle and adding the report to the directory.

preferences was set to an empty string

is displayed, and the current password is required to submit the form.

now supports issue retrieval, and project information

Version 1.5.1 (Development)
---------------------------
New Features:

o Added self registration. Each project can be independently configured
to allow self registration access. By default a self registered user will
not have access to projects. A project must enable the create option
and/or the view_all options to give those permissions to newly self_registered

to themself. This allows people to put it back into a status when a person
who has the ability to assign it to others see it on their myITracker page
o Changed status values to be larger values so new statuses can be inserted
in between them easier. Also added new unassigned status for when the issue
was previously assigned but no longer has an owner.

is locked

override the status of an issue.

only available for viewing/searching
o Added more functions to web services API
o Average Time Per User Report contributed by Anthony Di Paola
Fixes:
o Fixed the incredibly annoying ApplicationDeadlockExceptions in JBoss.
This was done by changing the entity access in the container config in
the jboss.xml file. Many, many thanks to Arthur Wang for fixing this.
o Fixed mysql database scripts to not use timestamps. This was causing
the create dates to constantly reset.
o Major bug in WebLogic deployment descriptor exactly like the JBoss one.
This caused the many-to-many relations ships to be stored in the wrong
columns in the database. This had to be changed to facilitate changes
to the search engine. If you wish to keep your existing component,
version, and project owner relationships you must use SQL to rename the
columns. The installation instructions have more info.
o Changed code so only active (not locked) users can have issues assigned
o Changed code so only active (not locked) users can be project owners.
Locking a user removes them as a project owner from all projects.
o Fixed compilation bug in issue search page

character issues

references to follow the J2EE standards better
Fixes:
o Major bug in JBoss deployment descriptor caused the many-to-many
relations ships to be stored in the wrong columns in the database.
This had to be changed to facilitate changes to the search engine.
If you wish to keep your existing component, version, and project owner
relationships you must use SQL to rename the columns. The installation
instructions have more info.
