You can edit the values available for drop-down fields + using the "Field Values" control panel.</p> + +<p>Don't add too many custom fields! It can make [% terms.Bugzilla %] + very difficult to use.

That group will then be able to + "subscribe" to those searches, and have them appear + in their footer.</p> + +<p>If the sharer can "bless" the group he's sharing to, + (that is, if he can add users to that group), it's considered + that he's a manager of that group, and his queries show up + automatically in that group's footer (although they can + unsubscribe from any particular search, if they want.)</p> + +<p>In order to allow a user to share their queries, they also + have to be a member of the group specified in the + <code>querysharegroup</code> parameter.</p> + +<p>Users can control their shared and subscribed queries from + the "Preferences" screen.</p> + +<h3><a name="v30_feat_afn"></a>Attachments and Flags on New + [% terms.Bugs %]</h3> + +<p>You can now add an attachment while you are filing a new + [% terms.bug %].</p> + +<p>You can also set flags on the [% terms.bug %] and on attachments, while + filing a new [% terms.bug %].</p> + +<h3><a name="v30_feat_cr"></a>Custom Resolutions</h3> + +<p>You can now customize the list of resolutions available + in [% terms.Bugzilla %], including renaming the default resolutions.</p> + +<p>The resolutions <code>FIXED</code>, <code>DUPLICATE</code> + and <code>MOVED</code> have a special meaning to [% terms.Bugzilla %], + though, and cannot be renamed or deleted.</p> + +<h3><a name="v30_feat_ppp"></a>Per-Product Permissions</h3> + +<p>You can now grant users <kbd>editbugs</kbd> and <kbd>canconfirm</kbd> + for only certain products. You can also grant users <kbd>editcomponents</kbd> + on a product, which means they will be able to edit that product + including adding/removing components and other product-specific + controls.</p> + +<h3><a name="v30_feat_ui"></a>User Interface Improvements</h3> + +<p>There has been some work on the user interface for [% terms.Bugzilla %] 3.0, + including:</p> + +<ul> + <li>There is now navigation and a search box a the <em>top</em> of + each page, in addition to the bar at the bottom of the page.</li> + <li>A re-designed "Format for Printing" page for + [% terms.bugs %].</li> + <li>The layout of <kbd>show_bug.cgi</kbd> (the [% terms.bug %] editing + page) has been changed, and the attachment table has been redesigned.</li> +</ul> + +<h3><a name="v30_feat_xml"></a>XML-RPC Interface</h3> + +<p>[% terms.Bugzilla %] now has a Web Services interface using the XML-RPC + protocol. It can be accessed by external applications by going + to the <kbd>xmlrpc.cgi</kbd> on your installation.</p> + +<p>Documentation can be found in the + <a href="[% Param('docs_urlbase') FILTER html %]api/">[% terms.Bugzilla %] + API Docs</a>, in the various <kbd>Bugzilla::WebService</kbd> modules.</p> + +<h3><a name="v30_feat_skin"></a>Skins</h3> + +<p>[% terms.Bugzilla %] can have multiple "skins" installed, + and users can pick between them. To write a skin, you just have to + write several CSS files. See the <a href="[% Param('docs_urlbase') FILTER html %]cust-skins.html">Custom + Skins Documentation</a> for more details.</p> + +<p>We currently don't have any alternate skins shipping with + [% terms.Bugzilla %].

That + is, the value will just appear as plain text.</p> + +<h3><a name="v30_feat_et"></a>All Emails in Templates</h3> + +<p>All outbound emails are now controlled by the templating system. + What used to be the <code>passwordmail</code>, <code>whinemail</code>, + <code>newchangedmail</code> and <code>voteremovedmail</code> + parameters are now all templates in the <kbd>template/</kbd> directory.</p> + +<p>This means that it's now much easier to customize your outbound + emails, and it's also possible for localizers to have more + localized emails as part of their language packs, if they want.</p> + +<p>We also added a <code>mailfrom</code> parameter to let you set + who shows up in the <code>From</code> field on all emails that + [%+ terms.Bugzilla %] sends.</p> + +<h3><a name="v30_feat_df"></a>No More Double-Filed [% terms.Bugs %]</h3> + +<p>Users of [% terms.Bugzilla %] will sometimes accidentally submit + [% terms.abug %] twice, either by going back in their web browser, + or just by refreshing a page. In the past, this could file the same + [% terms.bug %] twice (or even three times) in a row, irritating + developers and confusing users.</p> + +<p>Now, if you try to submit [% terms.abug %] twice from the same screen + (by going back or by refreshing the page), [% terms.Bugzilla %] will warn + you about what you're doing, before it actually submits the duplicate + [%+ terms.bug %].</p> + +<h3><a name="v30_feat_cc"></a>Default CC List for Components</h3> + +<p>You can specify a list of users who will <em>always</em> be added to + the CC list of new [% terms.bugs %] in a component.</p> + +<h3><a name="v30_feat_emi"></a>File/Modify [% terms.Bugs %] By Email</h3> + +<p>You can now file or modify [% terms.bugs %] via email. Previous versions + of [% terms.Bugzilla %] included this feature only as an + unsupported add-on, but it is now an official interface to + [%+ terms.Bugzilla %].</p> + +<p>For more details see the <a href="[% Param('docs_urlbase') FILTER html %]api/email_in.html">documentation + for email_in.pl</a>.</p> + +<h3><a name="v30_feat_gw"></a>Users Who Get All [% terms.Bug %] + Notifications</h3> + +<p>There is now a parameter called <kbd>globalwatchers</kbd>. This + is a comma-separated list of [% terms.Bugzilla %] users who will + get all [% terms.bug %] notifications generated by [% terms.Bugzilla %].</p> + +<p>Group controls still apply, though, so users who can't see a [% terms.bug %] + still won't get notifications about that [% terms.bug %].</p> + +<h3><a name="v30_feat_utf8"></a>Improved UTF-8 Support</h3> + +<p>[% terms.Bugzilla %] users running MySQL should now have excellent + UTF-8 support if they turn on the <kbd>utf8</kbd> parameter. (New + installs have this parameter on by default.) [% terms.Bugzilla %] + now correctly supports searching and sorting in non-English languages, + including multi-bytes languages such as Chinese.</p> + +<h3><a name="v30_feat_upda"></a>Automatic Update Notification</h3> + +<p>If you belong to the <kbd>admin</kbd> group, you will be notified + when you log in if there is a new release of [% terms.Bugzilla %] + available to download.</p> + +<p>You can control these notifications by changing the + <kbd>upgrade_notification</kbd> parameter.</p> + +<h3><a name="v30_feat_welc"></a>Welcome Page for New Installs</h3> + +<p>When you log in for the first time on a brand-new [% terms.Bugzilla %] + installation, you will be presented with a page that describes + where you should go from here, and what parameters you should set.</p> + +<h3><a name="v30_feat_qs"></a>QuickSearch Plugin for IE7 and Firefox 2</h3> + +<p>Firefox 2 users and Internet Explorer 7 users will be presented + with the option to add [% terms.Bugzilla %] to their search bar. + This uses the + <a href="page.cgi?id=quicksearch.html">QuickSearch syntax</a>.</p> + +<h3><a name="v30_feat_other"></a>Other Enhancements and Changes</h3> + +<p>These are either minor enhancements, or enhancements that have + very short descriptions. Some of these are very useful, though!</p> + +<h4>Enhancements That Affect [% terms.Bugzilla %] Users</h4> + +<ul> + <li>In comments, quoted text (lines that start with <kbd>></kbd>) + will be a different color from normal text.</li> + <li>There is now a user preference that will add you to the CC list + of any [% terms.bug %] you modify. Note that it's <strong>on</strong> + by default.</li> + <li>[% terms.Bugs %] can now be filed with an initial state of + <kbd>ASSIGNED</kbd>, if you are in the <kbd>editbugs</kbd> group.</li> + <li>By default, comment fields will zoom large when you are typing in them, + and become small when you move out of them. You can disable this + in your user preferences.</li> + <li>You can hide obsolete attachments on [% terms.abug %] by clicking + "Hide Obsolete" at the bottom of the attachment table.</li> + <li>If a [% terms.bug %] has flags set, and you move it to a different + product that has flags with the same name, the flags will be + preserved.</li> + <li>You now can't request a flag to be set by somebody who can't set it + ([% terms.Bugzilla %] will throw an error if you try).</li> + <li>Many new headers have been added to outbound [% terms.Bugzilla %] + [%+ terms.bug %] emails: <code>X-Bugzilla-Status</code>, + <code>X-Bugzilla-Priority</code>, <code>X-Bugzilla-Assigned-To</code>, + <code>X-Bugzilla-Target-Milestone</code>, and + <code>X-Bugzilla-Changed-Fields</code>, <code>X-Bugzilla-Who</code>. + You can look at an email to get an idea of what they contain.</li> + <li>In addition to the old <code>X-Bugzilla-Reason</code> email header + which tells you why you got an email, if you got an email because + you were watching somebody, there is now an + <code>X-Bugzilla-Watch-Reason</code> header that tells you who you + were watching and what role they had.</li> + <li>If you hover your mouse over a full URL (like + <code>http://bugs.mycompany.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1212</code>) that + links to [% terms.abug %], you will see the title of the + [%+ terms.bug %]. Of course, this only works for [% terms.bugs %] in your + [%+ terms.Bugzilla %] installation.</li> + <li>If your installation has user watching enabled, you will now see + the users that you can remove from your watch-list as a multi-select + box, much like the current CC list. (Previously it was just a text + box.)</li> + <li>When a user creates their own account in [% terms.Bugzilla %], the + account is now not actually created until they verify their email + address by clicking on a link that is emailed to them.</li> + <li>You can change [% terms.abug %]'s resolution without reopening it.</li> + <li>When you view the dependency tree on [% terms.abug %], resolved + [%+ terms.bugs %] will be hidden by default. (In previous versions, + resolved [% terms.bugs %] were shown by default.)</li> + <li>When viewing [% terms.bug %] activity, fields that hold [% terms.bug %] + numbers (such as "Blocks") will have the [% terms.bug %] numbers + displayed as links to those [% terms.bugs %].</li> + <li>When viewing the "Keywords" field in a [% terms.bug %] list, + it will be sorted alphabetically, so you can sanely sort a list on + that field.</li> + <li>In most places, the Version field is now sorted using a version-sort + (so 1.10 is greater than 1.2) instead of an alphabetical sort.</li> + <li>Options for flags will only appear if you can set them. So, for + example, if you can't grant <kbd>+</kbd> on a flag, that option + won't appear for you.</li> + <li>You can limit the product-related output of <kbd>config.cgi</kbd> + by specifying a <kbd>product=</kbd> URL argument, containing the name + of a product. You can specify the argument more than once for multiple + products.</li> + <li>You can now search the boolean charts on whether or not a comment + is private.</li> +</ul> + +<h4>Enhancements For Administrators</h4> + +<ul> + <li>Administrators can now delete attachments, making them disappear + entirely from [% terms.Bugzilla %].</li> + <li><kbd>sanitycheck.cgi</kbd> can now only be accessed by users + in the <kbd>editcomponents</kbd> group.</li> + <li>The "Field Values" control panel can now only be accessed + by users in the <kbd>admin</kbd> group. (Previously it was accessible + to anybody in the <kbd>editcomponents</kbd> group.)</li> + <li>There is a new parameter <kbd>announcehtml</kbd>, that will allow + you to enter some HTML that will be displayed at the top of every + page, as an announcement.</li> + <li>The <kbd>loginnetmask</kbd> parameter now defaults to 0 for new + installations, meaning that as long as somebody has the right + login cookie, they can log in from any IP address. This makes + life a lot easier for dial-up users or other users whose IP + changes a lot. This could be done because the login cookie is now + very random, and thus secure.</li> + <li>Classifications now have sortkeys, so they can be sorted in an + order that isn't alphabetical.</li> + <li>Authentication now supports LDAP over SSL (LDAPS) or TLS (using + the STARTLS command) in addition to plain LDAP.</li> + <li>LDAP users can have their LDAP username be their email address, + instead of having the LDAP <kbd>mail</kbd> attribute be their + email address. You may wish to set the <kbd>emailsuffix</kbd> + parameter if you do this.</li> + <li>Administrators can now see what has changed in a user account, + when using the "Users" control panel.</li> + <li><code>REMIND</code> and <code>LATER</code> are no longer part + of the default list of resolutions. Upgrading installations will + not be affected--they will still have these resolutions.</li> + <li><kbd>editbugs</kbd> is now the default for the <kbd>timetrackinggroup</kbd> + parameter, meaning that time-tracking will be on by default in a new + installation.</li> +</ul> + +<h2><a name="v30_issues"></a>Outstanding Issues</h2> + +<ul> + <li><a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=370739"> + [%- terms.Bug %] 370739</a>: There is a problem in Firefox 2.0 that + sometimes causes the [% terms.bug %] editing page to render incorrectly + after editing a [% terms.bug %].</li> + <li><a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69621"> + [%- terms.Bug %] 69621</a>: If you rename or remove a keyword that is + in use on [% terms.bugs %], you will need to rebuild the "keyword cache" + by running <a href="sanitycheck.cgi">sanitycheck.cgi</a> and choosing + the option to rebuild the cache when it asks.
