The planned upgrade to Subversion 1.5.5 went ahead today and was completed without incident (it’s always nice when that happens).
While i’m here i thought i would give a quick note about our plans for CodeSpaces v3.0 
Scope
- UI Re-write
Many users have stated that the current UI isn’t quick enough for continued use and some of the UI conventions arn’t as intuative as they could be, with this in mind we are completeley re-writing the UI with Speed and Ease of use being our guiding principles.
- Time Tracking
Tracking time against Work Items is essential for project managers, as such this will be implemented in v3.0
- Card Walls
For Agile teams that use Card Walls (story boards) we have developed an integrated card wall module that incorperates the Code Spaces Work Items, Milestones and Users.
- Project Admins
The current system allows for many Accoutn admins but not specific project admins, this is a real pain to our customers with multiple projects.
- SVN Commit Postbacks
When a commit occures on one of your repositories you can specifiy a postbacj URL that the Code Spaces system will call detailing the commit details, this will allow for easy integration with other systems post commit.
- Code Spaces API
The current Beta API will be re-written taking in to account the feedback that we have been given over the last few months.
- Subversion Folder Permissions
Subversion allows for granular permissions that are currently not exposed via the Code Spaces system, this will be resolved in v3.0
- Large Commit Issues
Some users report time out issues with large commits, after investigation we have identified a flaw in the underlying technology that we developed to manage multiple SVN accounts and servers, this will be enhanced as part of v3.0
Schedule
We will be releasing a Live BETA towards the end of this quarter to allow users to test the NEW UI against existing Data, We will then schedule in a Live release resulting in a complete migration from the v2.x UI to the v3.0 UI in the following month.
Feedback
Most of the v3.0 functionality is already developed but now is the time to give feedback on these features or any missing functionality that you might have noticed.
