Redmine

Redmine 1.2.0 was released today and is available for download at Rubyforge.

This release brings many new features and improvements (including private issues, more customizable workflow, custom fields referencing users and versions, user deletion, time entries bulk edition) and fixes more than 60 defects. You can review the list of all changes here.

Note that Redmine now runs with Rails 2.3.11 (See RedmineInstall or RedmineUpgrade), you can install it with:

gem install rails -v=2.3.11

Thanks to all active contributors and translators who made Redmine 1.2.0 possible.

Redmine 1.1.3 has been released and is available at Rubyforge.

This release fixes more than 20 defects including an error that was occurring on concurrent wiki edits and the compatibility with IE9 (selection of issues and context menu).

Redmine 1.1.2 has been released and is available at Rubyforge.

This maintenance release for 1.1.x users includes 13 bug fixes since 1.1.1 and a security fix (XSS vulnerability affecting all Redmine versions from 1.0.1 to 1.1.1). As previous 1.0.x and 1.1.x releases, it still runs with Rails 2.3.5.

Redmine development branch (aka trunk) now runs with the latest Rails 2.3.x release (2.3.11).
So if you're using Redmine trunk, don't forget to install the Rails 2.3.11 gem next time you update your Redmine source code:

gem install rails -v=2.3.11

This 1.1.1 maintenance release fixes 19 defects and includes an upgrade to the latest stable release of Coderay, the syntax highlighter used in Redmine.

Those who use cgi/fastcgi to run Redmine should note that the default .htaccess included in the Redmine source code has been renamed to htaccess.fastcgi.example (see #7256). So if you were using it, don't forget to rename it back to .htaccess.

Redmine 1.1.0 has been released to Rubyforge.

This feature release brings many improvements and a more usable REST API. You can read the list of changes.

Happy new year!

Among 11 bug fixes, Redmine 1.0.5 solves the incompatibility with the i18n 0.5.0 gem. The appropriate i18n gem version (0.4.2) is now required, you can install it using:

gem install i18n -v=0.4.2

This release also fixes 3 security issues reported by joernchen of Phenoelit:

• logged in users may be able to access private data (affected versions: 1.0.x)
• persistent XSS vulnerability in textile formatter (affected versions: all previous releases)
• remote command execution in bazaar repository adapter (affected versions: 0.9.x, 1.0.x)

All Redmine users are highly recommended to upgrade to this latest release.

Redmine 1.1 will be released in the next few weeks.

Shortly after that, Redmine 1.2 will be devoted to workflow and issue permissions enhancement. It will bring some of the most requested features: private issues, ability for certain roles to view their own issues, more configurable workflow, and permissions on issue properties. A tagging system, another highly requested feature, will be added in 1.3.

Efforts will also be made on these releases to improve the REST API based on your feedback.

This is a bugfix release for all Redmine 1.0 users. 15 defects have been fixed since Redmine 1.0.3 and 7 translations have been updated.

With a growing number of Redmine Plugins, it was time to have a more sophisticated directory than the current Plugin list.
The new Directory is now avaible at http://www.redmine.org/plugins.

Developers can register and update their plugins using their redmine.org account.
The old plugin list is now locked and may be removed in a few weeks.
