ALM Works

Today we are packaging and delivering to public the first Release Candidate of Deskzilla bug tracking client. This version contains a lot of performance improvements, problem fixes and a few cool features.

In fact, this is a feature-freeze version, as we have decided to stop development in the 1.0 branch and continue towards the version 1.1. In a couple of weeks we are going to make the 1.0 release based on the stable branch unless serious bugs are found.

What's new in this version:

• Support for attachments - it's now possible to download, view, create and upload attachments;
• Bug view form improved - it is rearranged to be more compact and usable;
• Remembering last used values in the New Bug form. The last entered values for all enumeration fields are remembered. When another bug record is being entered, the last used values are set by default. Also, the last used Version, Component and Milestone are remembered per-product;
• Quick navigation from Blocks, Depends and Url. If one of these fields is not empty, then it is possible to jump to the referred bug records by pressing on the field's label;
• Remove bad bug - it's now possible to remove an erroneous bug from the local database. This mainly concerns situations when there's a permanent error, caused, for example, by deletion of the bug in Bugzilla.

Important fixes:

• Fixed problem with multi-byte characters (for example, in Japanese charsets) that caused corruption of string values.

As usual, your feedback is very much welcome. Please let us know what features you need most and what do you think of the current version of Deskzilla.

The 1.0 release is approaching - so if you consider buying Deskzilla license, there are a few days left to take advantage of our 40% pre-release discount. For more details, visit our purchase page.
