BugNET

The holidays have come fast, and some have past already.   Before they are all but gone we would like to wish everyone happy holidays and best wishes in the new year!!

We look forward to furthering the project in the new year and making it the best possible.

The BugNET team.

The new build of BugNET has been posted in the downloads section.  This is the first beta 0.8 release which has fixed many issues in the next major release of the issue tracker.  For those who are new to BugNET you can find an excellent blog post of what the 0.8 release has added in terms of overall functionality and improvements to the project.

We invite you to download this latest beta, test it and provide your feedback in our forums and issue tracker to help us release the final version as soon as possible.

You may notice with the amount of new features and the documentation regarding them lacking.  Please be patient as we fill in these gaps and work to document the new and existing features. ...

Finally BugNET DotNetNuke integration has arrived! Peter Donker from Bring2Mind has released a slick DotNetNuke (DNN) module.

This article will explain which areas of BugNET are affected by lost machine keys, and how to rebuild a BugNET system without it. In the end you should have a fully fledgedsystem under control of  "admin" and will then need to reset the users passwords to allow them to login.

I present two techniques, one will require some minor code to be written, and the other some SQL scripting. I have used the SQL technique on a hosted box with success....

Thanks for the suggestion Pro-Jee!

A preview release of the next major version of BugNET has been released (0.8). 

This release is primarly geared towards gaining your comments and feedback regarding the direction of this release and to give everyone a look of what has been done to improve the application and address many of the major new features in the issue tracker.  There are a lot of new features that have been added and we want your comments!

It is unsupported. There will be no upgrade path to the final version. It is not meant to be used in a live / production environment. To make it easier for people to try out, there is no install with this release, just unzip and make a virutual directiory and run the application.  You may also attach the BugNet database (found in the app_data folder) using sql server and change the connection string accordingly.

One of the many requested features is bulk issue editing.  In 0.8 this is now possible through the new issue list page shown below.  After selecting the issues you would like to edit with the checkbox next to the issue you can select the edit properties button.  You will then be shown a panel of the issue properties that you can set.   Set the properties you wish to change and select save and your issues will be updated!



The second addition to the issue list is the ability to select individual columns to display in the issue list.  This is stored per user in a cookie so when you come back to the application it will remember the selected columns and can be changed anytime.
