BugNET

I have been playing with the 0.8.140 RC1 on a test machine by upgrading our older release (0.7.921.0). We have been using the software for quite a while now as our main bugs database provider. Each new release always has upgrade issues as generally problems have crept into the database, which I then need to track down and fix. After this I can get to play with the new version. Overall I am happy to see the bugnet code making good steps forward as per usual. Thanks to the team for their efforts so far on this new 0.8 version.

My initial feeback would be:-

Very good that the display name of the user is used at all times as our usernames include the domain.

The initial home page project display is now no longer sorted alphabetically.

Its very good to be able to get to the settings of the project from the home page.

Generally if I click on a project summary and then click on an assignee to see their open issues, the page opens with the combo box of view issues set to 'All issues' and so you see far too many issues. Going back and repeating the same operation goes to the correct 'select a view' option and shows the correct bug list.

Using the Admin tab to view all of the projects and change their settings seems to only list active projects and so I can now find no way of accessing disabled projects without resorting to Sql queries.

The source code version of the download doesn't seem to include the 0.8.140.0.SqlDataProvider.sql file in the project and so doesn't apply the upgrade correctly.

Saved Queries all seem to be fixed and so I cannot save a query which when run asks me for a date to run the query against e.g. today. Once set I cannot edit a query, I can only delete it. They are also per project. It would be nice to be able to run cross project queries that I can change a test value e.g. date and run it e.g. to find all bugs fixed across all projects since a certain date.

Saving queries and then trying to reuse them seems to give errors such as:-

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
