Hello All,
We are pleased to announce Red Hat's Bugzilla 5 beta [1]! We’re inviting all of you to participate.
We encourage you to test your current scripts against this new version and take part in the beta discussions on the Fedora development list [2]. Partners and customers may also use their existing communications channels to share feedback or questions. We ask that you provide feedback or questions by Wednesday, May 17th.
Here is a short list of some of the changes in Bugzilla 5:
-
Major improvements in the WebServices interface, including a new REST-like endpoint, allowing clients to access data using standard HTTP calls for easy development. -
The UI has been significantly overhauled for a modern browsing experience. -
Performance improvements, including caching improvements to allow faster access to certain types of data. -
Red Hat Associates, Customers and Fedora Account System users can now log in using SAML. -
The addition of some of the Bayoteers extensions allowing features such as inline editing of bugs in search results, team management and scrum tools, etc. -
Ye Olde diff viewer has been replaced with the modern diff2html diff viewer -
Improved, updated documentation including a rewrite using the reStructuredText format, which allows documentation to be more easily converted into different formats such as HTML and PDF, etc
The official release date for Bugzilla 5 will be determined based on the beta feedback. We will communicate to you as the beta progresses.
