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.

In BugNET 0.8 the project creation / administration has been vastly improved so that you may define many of the previously hardcoded values. Most notably these hard corded values were the status, resolutions, issue types and priorities.  Although these values may work perfectly for some, it is not viable for all projects or issue tracking methods to be forced to use these.

BugNET 0.7 is now entering a maintainence mode, which means that only bug fixes will be in subsequent 0.7 releases. All new features will be tackled in the upcoming 0.8 release which is well underway.

On the development front the solution will be upgraded to Visual Studio 2008 but will remain at version 2.0 of the .NET framework until the further adoption of 3.5 by online web hosts.  I am hoping to get a preview version of 0.8 out sometime this month, which means I will not be focusing on upgrades from  0.7 to this new version until a later point.

Some features that are to come / already complete:

Parent / Child Issues Redesigned add / edit issue page which now displays custom fields Custom Queries(including custom fields) that can be saved Ability to add custom priorities / status's / types etc. The start of UI localization Improvement of themes
