Description

Made Version description support Textile markup to be in-sync with Trac milestone description (supporting its Wiki markup).
We needed this for migrating our projects from Trac, and it appears others need it also, e.g. #1256.

Actually, you can link a wiki page to each version (edit the version and enter wiki page name). This wiki page is displayed on the roadmap.
Example: http://www.redmine.org/projects/roadmap/redmine displays this wiki page: 0 8

Maybe a different and easier approach would be:
  • remove the limit on the version description field (it looks like your patch doesn't do it)
  • textilize this description on the roadmap

A migration could automatically move existing wiki pages to version descriptions.

What do think others ?

I like the idea of having the version description be separate from the wiki. My reason is because someone could edit the wiki and then the Version on the Roadmap might be completely different. I tend to give wiki permissions to most people but only a select few are able to plan a project using the Roadmap.

We can keep a link to the wiki page as more of a community peer driven documentation. But the description will be the authoritative version.

I'm also for longer and formatted descriptions. We've been using descriptions in Trac and found it useful to have a brief summary directly on the Roadmap and Milestone (Version) pages.
Forcing to have all version descriptions as wiki pages seems a bit too unwieldy to me. While if we had/have long formatted Description field for versions, then nothing would prevent us from creating one or more pages for larger complex milestones and link them from version description texts if and where it's needed.

Reminder regarding this patch: unlike textilisation in the roadmap-view this doesn't change the version-description in the changelog-view of the issuelist.

This means that on that view (after applying this patch) the raw data (including the textile-markup) is being shown (so without textilisation).

Not worth another full patch though I think it's worth mentioning: quoted problem can be solved by modifying the file ../app/views/projects/changelog.rhtml changing

<p><%=h version.description %></p>

into

<p><%= textilizable version.description %></p>

A longer, formatted version description which is displayed in the Roadmap would be extremely useful. As mentioned by Eric & Anna above, achieving the same with wiki pages does prove problematic.
