The future of 0.7 and what is to come in 0.8

Fri, 30 Nov 2007 02:01:36 GMT

BugNET 0.7 is now entering a maintainence mode, which means that only bug fixes will be in subsequent 0.7 releases. All new features will be tackled in the upcoming 0.8 release which is well underway.

On the development front the solution will be upgraded to Visual Studio 2008 but will remain at version 2.0 of the .NET framework until the further adoption of 3.5 by online web hosts. I am hoping to get a preview version of 0.8 out sometime this month, which means I will not be focusing on upgrades from 0.7 to this new version until a later point.

Some features that are to come / already complete:

Parent / Child Issues
Redesigned add / edit issue page which now displays custom fields
Custom Queries(including custom fields) that can be saved
Ability to add custom priorities / status's / types etc.
The start of UI localization
Improvement of themes

Development
