Itteco Magic

Hey, it’s this time of the month again when we roll out a major update to the platform. You may have taken today by the turbulence, though we trust most people did not really feel it (yay! we are getting better at this!)

So, here are the goodies you got today.

Login & Logout

• We got rid of HTTP authentication and replaced it with great looking login form
• You now can log out, so don’t take you chance – don’t leave the door open
• You should stay logged in for 24 hrs now (was much less before). See, we got to trust you more!

Reminder: If you want to change your password, you may do so here. And don’t forget to change your avatar too – we still see icons of strangers here and there.

Web chat rooms auto-join

• We will now auto-join you into all your chat rooms each time you log in. You don’t want to miss anything, do you?
• You may opt-out of chat by clicking Leave & Ignore button in the group chat window. If you don’t, you’ll stay joined and will keep receiving notifications about new conversations happening.
• We also fixed number of minor issues. For example, now all your chat windows positions are sync’ed between all your tabs and all browsers. Also, if you read message in one browser – it will also be gone in all other you have open.

Reminder: there is always Support room if you need any help!

And our biggest changes are in project repositories

• First off, we renamed Reports into Ticket Buckets and also re-worked the default tickets lists significantly for your enjoyment and easy of tracking (Nifty names of buckets is nothing compared to what’s under the hood). Why “Ticket Buckets”? – You would wonder. Well, that’s how they used to pick the bugs up in old times – right into the buckets. We just wanted to remind you that you are developing software not to pick up bugs, but to have your buckets full of good stuff.
• 
• Under the hood are drag-n-drop lists! Yes, that’s right. Now you can do actions with the ticket lists without leaving the page. You may either drag-n-drop tickets one by one, or check the boxes and move it all at ones (you see this little ‘>>’ button, right?)
• Besides, in the lists of tickets, if you now click on the ticket number – it’ll open the pop-up form with the most frequently used ticket fields to edit. If you need to see full details – you either click on the headline, or follow ‘Open in Standalone Editor’ at the pop-up.
• 
• The similar behavior is on the whiteboards now as well. Clicking on ticket # will no longer forward you to ticket details, but would rather open the pop-up to edit ticket details there (thus, letting you stay on the Whiteboard).  As it became redundant, we also eliminated the Edit tab on tickets’ widget and replace it with the option to comment on the ticket.

Well, that’s about it from the major ones. The little ones include numerous UI fixes. Most joyful would perhaps be to know that famous ‘Reply’ button now works on the newly created tickets. And also the source code browser and changeset diff now looks great in Mercurial repositories too.  And search results are nicely formatted now…  Well, don’t get me started.

Thanks for being with us. We keep working hard to make our home a better place!
