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.
Work continues on the 0.8 release and progress is steady, currently work is being done on the localization adding all text strings to the database. This will make it easier for users to translate to other languages through a seperate web page.
After that is complete focus will be put on subversion integration, storing an issues subversion revisions as a seperate tab on the issue detail screen and linking to a subversion repository. Some great work has been done here and it should not take long to add this into the application. I am a little hesitant to do full integration such as viewing diffs etc through BugNET since there are many nice web based subversion viewers out there but we will start small and expand later if people think it should be included.
In the next few days I will blog about how custom queries will function in 0.8, which is currently feature complete at the moment with the ability to also query custom fields and save your queries.
Stay tuned!
