Redmine

This maintenance release can be found at Rubyforge.

It brings some minor improvements and fixes.
You can get it at Rubyforge

The work done last weeks in the rails-2.2 branch was merged into the trunk a few minutes ago (r2493).
So current trunk now requires Rails 2.2.2 to be installed. Installing the appropriate gem is pretty straightforward:

gem install rails -v=2.2.2

Here are some important notes for people who want to upgrade their trunk checkout:

• If you had frozen Rails in your working copy, make sure to remove it before restarting the application (simply remove /vendor/rails). Otherwise the application will use this old frozen Rails version, and won't start.

• As requested in #2628, Redmine now uses cookies to store session data by default. This prevents tons of files from being saved in /tmp/sessions and improves overall response time.
  To insure data integrity, the cookie store needs a secret to be generated before the first time you start the application. A rake task was added to make this step easier. You just need to run the following command from your Redmine directory:
  rake config/initializers/session_store.rb

Another big change was done on the internationalization support. Redmine now uses the new I18n module shipped with Rails 2.2, instead of the GLoc plugin. Translation files can be found under /config/locales. Contributors are now invited to submit their translation updates based on these files.

The 0.8-stable branch and the forthcoming 0.8.x releases will still use Rails 2.1.2.

This new release fixes several bugs including the invalid redirect after a login failure, and brings a few improvements.
See what's new in the Changelog and download it at Rubyforge.

Redmine 0.8.0 final release is now available for download at Rubyforge.

It fixes a few bugs and several security vulnerabilities.
The security fixes were backported to the 0.7 branch and a 0.7.4 release is available for those who don't want to upgrade to 0.8 now.

One of these vulnerabilities forced me to disable inline styles in textile tags (see #2416).

• cross-project search engine
• cross-project time report
• free ticket filtering on calendar and gantt
• ticket integration via emails
• wiki page protection and hierarchy
• user's activity view

You can see the full list in the Changelog.
This release comes with rails 2.1.2 bundled which is now required for the 0.8.x serie.

It can be downloaded at Rubyforge.

I am pleased to announce that a Redmine book was published 2 days ago in Japan.
It's written (in Japanese) by Go Maeda, the maintainer of redmine.jp.

You can find more information on the publisher's web site (Shuwa System Co., Ltd.):

Yet another bug fix release. See the Changelog for more details.
As Redmine 0.7.3 fixes several XSS vulnerabilities, users are highly encouraged to upgrade to this new release.

No database migration is needed when upgrading from previous 0.7.x versions.
This release is still running with Rails 2.0.2.

It can be downloaded at Rubyforge.

This is a bug fix release.

Like the previous 0.7.x releases, it runs with Rails 2.0.2.
Please, note that Redmine is not yet compatible with Rails 2.1 (it's planned for 0.8).

This release fixes a few bugs found in 0.7.0.
One of them is considered as severe (eg #1147), so 0.7.0 users are highly encouraged to migrate.

As usual, you can download this release at Rubyforge.
