Version 0.3.0 now available

NEW RELEASE - 0.3.0

The 0.3.0 release marks some significant back-end changes and some general improvements overall. It is recommended that all users upgrade to this latest release.

  • Notably an important schema change was introduced to allow efficient mapping between tickets and iterations. This mapping is now visible on the Roadmap and on each Ticket where you can see which Iterations a ticket is associated with. This association is achieved through the addition of a new iteration_ticket table in the database.
  • This release is up-to-date with the latest stable release of  Trac, at the time of release that is  Trac 0.11.5.
  • Finally it important to note that this release would not have been possible without the help of dfraser who recently joined the development team and has already made a significant impact on the project. Long time users will remember his name from the 0.2.0 release where he provided at least one patch and other valuable feedback.

To Upgrade Your Installation

1. Upgrade the Agile-Trac plugin

Upgrade your plugin using easy_install as shown. Ensure you have administrative privileges, for example if using Linux you might need to run this as root or prepend the command with sudo. 

easy_install -U http://svn.agile-trac.org/BRANCH/AGILE-TRAC/SOURCE/0.11/REL/

2. Update the patch

You must also use svn to update your agile-trac patch.

Note: The location of your  Trac install will depend on the version number, for example you might have  Trac 0.11 or a newer version like  Trac 0.11.1.

Windows

This will depend on your installation, for example with  Trac 0.11, this may work. 

cd C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\Trac-0.11-py2.5.egg

Linux

Do these commands as a user of sufficient privileges, for example as root.

This will depend on your distribution. For example in Debian Testing for  Trac 0.11 you might type: 

cd /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Trac-0.11-py2.5.egg/

Now run svn update from the current location, for example, 

svn update

3. Restart you web server

For example if you are using apache you might need to execute, 

apache2ctl graceful

4. Upgrade your trac environment

Since this release includes a schema change you will need to run, 

trac-admin upgrade /path/to/your/trac/project

so that the schema changes required can be applied.

Refer to Installing Agile-Trac for more details.

Version 0.2.0 now available

NEW RELEASE - 0.2.0

This is an important release with several noteworthy points.

  • we've created a release branch starting with 0.2.0 to allow more aggressive changes to be made on the development branch. For those who don't mind the odd breakage then you are free to install and update from the development branch. Details for the release branch can be found on the installation page. Branch details are summarised at the end of this post.
  • we've moved to a single unified patch for all 0.11.x trac installs. This will significantly reduce the overhead of making updates. We held off doing this as there were some version specific issues that are now all resolved. In essence the unified patch will be against the latest trac release on the 0.11 branch.
  • we've fixed quite a few annoyances, some of which were considered critical. These are listed below. Some great community support has made these fixes possible.
  • we've ironed out database back-end issues so that we work with both Sqlite and Postgresql (including 8.3). If you have an Sqlite install and would like to migrate to Postgresql then you can read more on the Migration from Sqlite to Postgresql page.
  • we've added some improved documentation for the configuration options currently supported by Agile-Trac.

Some Stories and Defects addressed in 0.2.0

There have been more changes than those listed and some incremental changes for stories which are not yet complete, however some of the highlights are shown in the list below.

  • #91 - Error when an iteration contains a story that does not belong to a milestone. Many thanks go to augustinus for reporting this and providing a patch!
  • #101 - Previewing a ticket when progressing a completion stage resulted in an error. Many thanks go to dfraser for reporting this and providing a patch!
  • #67 - Ticket changes were not being saved when a ticket had custom fields
  • #75 - Workflow bug where a completed story because of resizing to 0 is not DONE
  • #76 - No notification email sent when a story is partially complete
  • #97 - Makes it possible to reset the calculation of points per iteration to account for large team size changes.
  • #98 - Provides an indication what the date calculations on the Roadmap are based on.
  • #105 - Documents and provides working support for custom completion stages
