Today we are happy to release beta version of Deskzilla 1.3. Evaluation downloads are available on our web site.

Our project has gone a long way since the last Deskzilla release. We have introduced another product, JIRA Client, which is, essentially, «Deskzilla for JIRA». Both Deskzilla and JIRA Client are based on ALM Platform, which provides features that are independent from the issue tracking server you work with. Deskzilla and JIRA Client have a lot of common code, and it is beneficial for users of both products, because one product's features may almost automatically appear in the other product.

Deskzilla 1.3 is just that: we have enabled features that have been developed for JIRA Client and fixed a few problems. Here is the list:

• Performance improvements;
• New issue details view;
• Tabular distribution that allows to break down issues by two attributes;
• Hierarchy view based on depends/blocks;
• New distribution dialog with filters and grouping for e-mails;
• Improved component for selecting user;
• Drag-and-drop bug to collection;
• Query reordering with drag-and-drop;
• Automatic naming of simple queries;
• Other minor improvements.

To try the new beta now, download Windows, Linux or Mac edition. Starting from this version, there's no need to request evaluation license key.

Your feedback is very welcome, especially on things that have changed — new details view and distribution dialog. We still have time for change before the release.
