Further to Adrian’s recent announcement about v2.6 I would also like to add that the SVN Backups tab is now available via the Admin tab, which gives you direct access to your SVN backups.

Please let us know if you have any feedback for any of these enhancements?

Cheers,

Floyd Price
Code Spaces

You may have noticed that we released an update to the CodeSpaces application last week. CodeSpaces is now at version 2.6, and these are the features and changes that make up the new version:

• Planning We’ve added classic project management features including a Gantt chart to CodeSpaces. Work Items now have a start and end date/time field, and this is relfected in the Gantt view. The Gantt chart is a Flash component that has been developed in-house. We’re going to open source it in the very near future, but we’ve got more enhancements planned for 2.7 (zooming, weekend auto-breaking and so on).

• Work Item numbering This is the change with the greatest impact, but we hope you’ll agree that it is worth-while. We’ve renumbered work items—before this update they used the identity field in the database, so ids were system wide and non-sequential. Now they’re scoped by project, so new work items will always have a predictable id. We know some of you were using the old work item numbers in source code/external links, so we’d like to reassure you that all of the old numbers still work, they are just not published any longer.

• Account/Project rename You can now rename your account without needing a support ticket. It might take a few minutes depending on what other automated tasks are concurrently running

• Dashboard and cardwall shortcuts to create new Work Items

• Basic Help Panel You’ll notice a little text panel in the right-hand bar that changes as you move around the application. We’re going to expand this and add a full-blown help system soon.

• Source Code Tab Now shows folders in the main section, for improved navigation/detail.

• Commit Emails Contain summary of changes (similar to svn log etc.)

• Project Admins You can now make a user a project admin, allowing them a certain level of control over project settings without making them a full-blown account admin.

• Minor changes Work items now include a drop-down that contains a list of icons that you can choose for the item. This icon will be shown in the Work Items list and on the Card Wall.

Your feedback is welcomed, but please report any bugs though the usual support channels so it can be handled quickly and effectively.

Thanks, Adrian
