Today we are glad to announce the new release of our virtual appliance for VMWare with Mozilla's Bugzilla bug tracking system.

New in this version:

• Upgraded Bugzilla to 3.2.2;
• Pre-installed localization packs for German (Germzilla), French, Japanese and Russian;
• Virtual Bugzilla comes now with SSL preconfigured;
• Versioning convention for VBS changed to reflect the version of Bugzilla installed;
• Testopia is moved to a separate project;
• Linux distribution changed to Debian Etch;
• Virtual machine configuration upgraded;
• LSI SCSI virtual controller is now in use;
• Virtual disk for user data has now 200GB capacity;
• Organization of virtual disk space is slightly different.

Please note that we have removed Testopia from this project. We hope to release as separate Virtual Testopia server soon.

Upgrade from a previous version at your discretion. On one hand, upgrade may not be a trivial task and require minimal Unix user experience. On the other hand, the latest-and-greatest Bugzilla could be enough reason to upgrade. Please follow upgrade instructions and don't forget to make backups.
