Redmine

BF Readup tracks which Redmine issues and updates users have actually read, based on real interaction rather than status flags or timestamps.

It provides My Page widgets for unread updates, recently visited issues, and most read issues, giving a more accurate view of what is genuinely new for each user.

The plugin was developed internally as part of a Redmine rollout and is intentionally opinionated in its design.

1. Clone or copy the plugin into the Redmine plugins directory:
plugins/bf_readup

2. Run database migrations:
bundle exec rake redmine:plugins:migrate RAILS_ENV=production

3. Restart Redmine.

Note 1:
The plugin currently relies on PostgreSQL-specific features and is not fully compatible with other database engines.
Note 2:
The plugin currently uses Swedish, hard coded, but this will be made into a locales-based plugin.
