BugNET

 A new build of BugNET has been posted in the downloads section.  This is the final release of the 0.7 releases which wraps up many of the outstanding bugs and issues reported in the issue tracker. The biggest fix in this version is in the database which takes care of orphaned records in preperation for the 0.8 releases.   Now that the final version of 0.7 has been released, our focus will be exclusively on the 0.8 releases to ready upgrades from 0.7 to 0.8. 

Please  visit the change log for all the fixes and improvements in this version.

The holidays have come fast, and some have past already.   Before they are all but gone we would like to wish everyone happy holidays and best wishes in the new year!!

We look forward to furthering the project in the new year and making it the best possible.

The BugNET team.

Edit: This build has been removed from the website and is out of date, expect a new beta very soon.

The new build of BugNET has been posted in the downloads section.  This is the first beta 0.8 release which has fixed many issues in the next major release of the issue tracker.  For those who are new to BugNET you can find an excellent blog post of what the 0.8 release has added in terms of overall functionality and improvements to the project.

We invite you to download this latest beta, test it and provide your feedback in our forums and issue tracker to help us release the final version as soon as possible.

A preview release of the next major version of BugNET has been released (0.8). 

This release is primarly geared towards gaining your comments and feedback regarding the direction of this release and to give everyone a look of what has been done to improve the application and address many of the major new features in the issue tracker.  There are a lot of new features that have been added and we want your comments!

This is not like an ordinary release in that:

It is unsupported. There will be no upgrade path to the final version. It is not meant to be used in a live / production environment. To make it easier for people to try out, there is no install with this release, just unzip and make a virutual directiory and run the application.  You may also attach the BugNet database (found in the app_data folder) using sql server and change the connection string accordingly. 

As all development versions, the user name is "Admin" and password is "password".

The new build of BugNET has been posted in the downloads section.  This is a new version if the 0.7 releases which fixes bugs and adds some new features.

NOTE: This release fixes critical security bugs that could allow a registered user to elevate their priviledges and it is recommended that you upgrade your installation.

Update:

It has come to my attention that when upgrading there is a script error, which is trying to drop a stored procedure that may not exist. Temporarly to fix this you can open the 0.7.921.0.SqlDataProvider.sql (found under Install\dbscripts folder) file in a text editor and remove the following code.  A package update will occur this evening for those who do not wish to do this manually.

I have to apologize to all those who are installing the issue tracker for the first time but the latest install package does not create an up to date database.  

To fix this manually perform the following steps on your database:

1. Run this sql statement against the database to add the proper version
   UPDATE HostSettings SET SettingValue = '0.7.891.0' WHERE SettingName = 'Version'
2. Run the 0.7.891.0.SqlDataProvider.sql script from the install directory on your database to reflect the current changes.

All existing installations are unaffected by this problem and should reflect the current changes in the latest version.

The install package will be updated tonight to fix this.

 

Happy new year to everyone!  This is the first release of the issue tracker this year and is a bugfix release that addresses some of the remaining bugs in the 0.7 release.
