Part 1 of 3 major upgrades to the Code Spaces software and infrastructure has now been completed.

This upgrade includes much of the v2.0 functionality and some of the hardware upgrades to support it, we will be doing the second part of this upgrade in two weeks.

So What’s New?

Project Portals

Each project can now have a project portal, which can be public (anyone can see it) or private (only users you create can see it) – Portals consist of several pages from you project wiki and can include pages to submit bugs and view public work items.

Email Notifications

You can now subscribe to events such as Subversion Commits via email, simply go to your profile admin and select the notifications you wish to receive – Make sure you check you registered email address is correct?

Document Module

You can now upload documents to Code Spaces.

Anonymous SVN access

We now allow anonymous SVN read access, to enable this go to the project admin section and modify the repository settings.

Wiki

We have improved the wiki syntax and rendering to support the project portals.

Dashboard

We have included a new Subversion Stats module to the dashboard which gives a visual representation of your teams activity.

Caching

Many elements of Code Spaces have been re-written to make better use of caching, which means you should see some performance improvements.
