Version 2.2 Released - Fixes & Features

Version 2.2 of the Project Tracker has been released. This version adds better support for public projects and allows projects to be set up with self-registration capabilities. You can set the default permissions that will be assigned to new users, and then edit individual users later if needed.

Passwords are now stored as encrypted in the database allowing for greater user security.

Plus various bug fixes throughout the app. Thanks to everyone who sent those in!

Upgrading users should view the install/upgrade directory to run the necessary upgrade scripts.

Version 2.1 Out - Bug Fixes + Oracle Compatibility

A new version of the Project Tracker is out. Sorry to all who had problems with the 2.0 version and had to wait for this update. I got married and went on my honeymoon in the interim and was away from a computer for the longest time in quite a while.

This should address all known bugs, and also adds Oracle support thanks to Jason Dean. There is 1 small table change that needs to be made for Oracle compatibility. Details are included in the README and there is an upgrade script included.

Version 2.0 Released - Major Upgrade!

A new version of the Project Tracker has been released today. This version incorporates over a dozen major feature upgrades and enhancements - plus a whole lot of bug fixes as well. Version 1 turned out to be a bit popular and generated some interest, which led to lots of upgrades since people were actually using it!

Thanks to all who contributed - in code and in suggestions, including Nick Tong, Mark Mandel, Rick Osborne, Terrence Ryan, Jeff Coughlin, Jeffry Houser, Ray Camden, and anyone else I might have missed..

The improvements go something like this:

  • New Administration area for settings, projects, clients, users, etc.
  • Email and/or SMS Notification system of new files, issues, messages, milestones, tasks
  • Granular permission system for each project and item
  • New issue system featuring statuses of new, accepted, resolved, and closed.
  • Enhanced code for speed: JavaScript libraries trimmed down. Less reliance on Interface, more on jQuery and now using lates jQuery. Minimized number of external CSS and JS calls.
  • CSS has been made more "bullet-proof"
  • Streamlined UI when only 1 project. Allows for auto-login of guest user to provide for public projects.
  • Includes SQL upgrade scripts for version 1. Better internationalization. Better mySQL compatibility.
  • Forgot username/password functionality.
  • Moved to JavaKit SVN for UNIX SVN browsing. Now includes Diff functionality. Includes JavaLoader.
  • Client management included and linked to projects.
  • Attach files to messages.
  • Assign due date to tasks.
  • API for reading projects data.
  • General bug fixes...

Hopefully lots of you will find this helpful and it will help you manage your projects better!!!

Version 1.0 Final Release

We've finally reached the 1.0 milestone for this project. Thanks to everyone who has submitted bugs, fixes, and suggestions!

The fixes since the beta can be tracked in the Known Issues on RIAForge. There's been a few database changes which are noted in the readme.

Getting Set For Final Release

Over the last few months, a number of bugs have been squashed and several improvements made. A couple of small issues remain but the application is very stable and just about ready for a full release.

A few things to note:

  • Project Tracker is now being managed via subversion. The SVN repository can be accessed via http://svn.riaforge.org/projecttracker
  • Read-only user access to projects is now available.
  • There have been a slew of fixes made since the initial beta launch. The best way to know what has been fixed is to view the Known Issues on the project page and filter for Fixed and Closed.
