Redmine

The first release candidate for Redmine 1.0 has been released to Rubyforge. This is a major release which includes many new features and bugfixes since the last major release, (0.9 in 2010-01-09).

This is still considered a release candidate (RC) release. The code has been stabilized over the past 6 weeks and we believe it is ready to be tested in production, but there still might be some rough edges. We are using this release to get some for final feedback, both for 1.0.1 (bug fixes) and our next major release 1.1.0.

When you are ready to upgrade, the upgrade documentation has been updated and we have people in the forums and IRC channel to help out.

Finally, I personally wanted to thank everyone who has helped Redmine over the past four years. Without everyone's contribution, the project wouldn't be as awesome as it is now. Thank you.

We have picked a date and time for the first Redmine Developer meeting . It will be held on irc at 2010-04-30 at 14:00 UTC (check your local time). Everyone is welcome to attend and participate:

• Developers
• Contributors
• Plugin developers
• Users
• People interested in getting involved in the Redmine community
• Others who have nothing better to listen to on Friday

I'm hoping this meeting will help communicate the overall vision of the Redmine project and also involve more of the community in the project. I hope I can see you there.

Giovanni Clement has written a Chrome extension that lets Redmine users quickly access their issues.
It's called QuickRedmine and is available in the Google Chrome extension directory.

After the extension is installed, go to the extension options to configure your Redmine URL.
It adds an icon to your Chrome tool bar where you can type an issue ID to view it. It also lists the last viewed issues.

Subtasking, one of the most requested features was committed in trunk a few weeks ago (r3573, r3618).

To start adding subtasks, you need to enable the new 'Manage subtasks' permission. Then, go to an existing issue and hit 'Add' in the subtasks section. Priority, start and due dates, progress, estimate, spent time are automatically rolled-up to parent issues.

The gantt chart was adjusted to display the issue hierachy:

A 'Parent task' column can be added to the issue list. Sorting by this column will make the issue list display the issue tree as well.

This new feature will be part of Redmine 1.0.0 (RC) release.

Redmine 0.9.3 was released to Rubyforge yesterday. This is a bug fix release for the 0.9.x series of Redmine that includes 30 bugfixes since the 0.9.2 release. To upgrade, follow the upgrade process on the wiki.

This bug fix release can be found at Rubyforge.

Redmine 0.9.1 (aka 0.9 final) is now available, you can get it at Rubyforge.
