There's a bug in ruby/mysql adapter < 2.7.3 that leads to loose database connection. Please update your adapter.

You can see thread at: http://rubyforge.org/forum/message.php?msg_id=25951.

h2. Issue tracking

h3. I've created a new issue status but I can't use it, it doesn't show up in the status drop-down list.

Once you've created a new issue status, you need to include it in the workflow.

Say you have created a status named 'In progress' and you want your developers to be able to change bugs from 'New' to 'In progress'.

Go to "Admin -> Issue tracking -> Workflow", select 'Bug' and 'Developer' then click edit.

You now see all the transitions allowed for developers on bugs. Check the 'New' -> 'In progress' checkbox and save.
