Code Spaces V2.0 – delays and excuses!
First off, please accept our apologies for the delays with version 2.0, its really frustrating for all concerned especially us!
Excuses!
v2.0 is proving much more difficult to roll out than we ever though, so much so that we have decided to employ the services of an expert who will help us write some scripts to automate a lot of the problematic operations.
What does this mean for the release date?
As we are already nearly a month late, it seems a little inappropriate to make further promises about release dates, therefor we are going to aim to do the release in several steps, each step will include a piece of the v2.0 puzzle until the release is complete.
It will take some development effort to split the release up like this however i would expect to see that done this week, after that we will aim for 3 individual releases over 3 weekend with the final one representing a complete install of v2.0. Based on this we are looking at an end of april release.
I will keep you informed via this blog about our progress.

Code Spaces v2.0 – New Release Date
The Code Spaces version 2.0 release has been delayed again for two reasons:
- Floyd 3.0 arrived on Sunday morning!
- Upgrading our MySql configuration to include a cluster of database servers, isn’t working as expected, We will be getting some support from mysql next week.
I/we can only apologies for the delay, as I know many of you are keen to use the new features.
The new release date is Sunday 23nd March 2008 (about 2 weeks), this gives us two weeks of database upgrade testing, and a free weekend to do some work on the production environment in preparation for the release.

New Dashboard and Project Milestones
We will be refreshing Code Spaces today with several bug fixes and new features.
I thought i would take this opportunity to give you all a sneak at the new dashboard with Project Milestone integration.
Notice that the timeline now shows icons for specific project events like subversion commit, Work Item status changes and Project Milestones.
The recent subversion commits module allows for easy navigation to the repository browser or the revision viewer.
Click on the thumbnail for a bigger version.
Keep an eye on Code Spaces today for your very own Code Spaces Dashboard

Subversion now runs over SSL
We installed the open ssl build of apache on our SVN cluster today and deployed the SSL cert, which means we now offer subversion over SSL to all users as standard.
To make use of the SSL layer simply use https instead of the http protocol that you have been using to date for your subversion server (e.g. https://svn.codespaces.com/[your_domain]/[your_repository])
We were originally only going to offer SSL to higher end customers but thankfully we came to our senses and realized that everybody needs SSL for transferring code…

This has now been resolved and all subversion repositories created during this period are now active.

- Linking Workitems to SVN commits
- Project Milestones
- Road Map & Change Logs
- Reporting
Thanks to everyong who is using Code Spaces for you support so far, and I hope we can continue to keep you all interested going forward

Code Spaces Beta1 is here.
I finally managed to iron out all the deployment issues and get the Code Spaces Beta onto our servers last night.
To date I have recieved 146 requests for Beta accounts which I have to say is (a lot) more than I expected, As a result its taking me a while to set them all up. I created about 15 accounts last night and will do some more today, but I will also implement a website at www.codespaces.com where you can create your own accounts (either today or tomorrow).
This Beta release is far from being the complete product but it’s definatly usable. The following features did not make this release but will be implemented shortly.
- Quick Search
The right hand pane contains a Quick Search box, however the code for this is currently commented out as it’s not complete. I expect to have this done by the weekend.
- Project Milestones This feature is currently missing and will be implemented next week.
- Road Map and Change Log These features require the Milestones functionality and will be implemented next week.
- Linking Work Items to SVN Revisions I have developed a novel way of linking workitems for svn revisions however the code is not quite finnished so it did not make this release, I expect to have this implemented in a week.
- Documents I plan to include a documents tab where you will be able to upload document and link them to SVN revisions, Milestones or Work Items however several dependancies need to be implemented before i can start this.
- Wiki The wiki functionality currently availible is limited, and required a better style sheet. I plan to implement this next week.
- Public Portal We plan to implement a pubilc portal where your customers/users can see project details that you wish to publish as well as forums and documents. This will be implemented within a month (or two).
- Performance I have not made any effort in reducing the size of the CSS and JS, I have also not added the required indexes to the CodeSpaces database. As a result the performance of the application is not as good as it should be (although it’s more than usable). I will implement the database indexes tommorrow and enable gZip on the appache server to reduce the js and css size next week.
- Account Registration As I mentioned i’m currenlty creating the Beta accounts manually, however I will implement a real codespaces.com website over the next two days that will give product information and enable the creation of Accounts for anyone who wishes to try it out.
Please let me know if you can think of any further issues, or features and i will add them to the ever growing Todo List.
