<h2><a name="v32_introduction"></a>Introduction</h2>
<p>Welcome to [% terms.Bugzilla %] 3.2! This is our first major feature
release since [% terms.Bugzilla %] 3.0, and it brings a lot of great
improvements and polish to the [% terms.Bugzilla %] experience.</p>
<p>If you're upgrading, make sure to read <a href="#v32_upgrading">How to
Upgrade From An Older Version</a>. If you are upgrading from a release
before 3.0, make sure to read the release notes for all the
<a href="#v32_previous">previous versions</a> in between your version
and this one, <strong>particularly the "Notes For Upgraders" section of each
version's release notes</strong>.</p>
<h2><a name="v32_point">Updates in this 3.2.x Release</a></h2>
<p>This section describes what's changed in the most recent b<!-- -->ug-fix
releases of [% terms.Bugzilla %] after 3.2. We only list the
most important fixes in each release. If you want a detailed list of
<em>everything</em> that's changed in each version, you should use our
<a href="http://www.bugzilla.org/status/changes.html">Change Log
Page</a>.</p>
<h3>3.2.2</h3>
<p>This release fixes one security issue that is critical for installations
running 3.2.1 under mod_perl. See the
<a href="http://www.bugzilla.org/security/3.0.7/">Security Advisory</a>
for details.</p>
<h3>3.2.1</h3>
<ul>
<li>Attachments, charts, and graphs would sometimes be garbled on Windows.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=464992">[% terms.Bug %] 464992</a>)</li>
<li>Saving changes to parameters would sometimes fail silently (particularly
on Windows when the web server didn't have the right permissions to
update the <code>params</code> file). [% terms.Bugzilla %] will now
throw an error in this case, telling you what is wrong.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347707">[% terms.Bug %] 347707</a>)</li>
<li>If you were using the <code>usemenuforusers</code> parameter,
and [% terms.abug %] was assigned to (or had a QA Contact of) a disabled
user, that field would be reset to the first user in the list when
updating [% terms.abug %].
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=465589">[% terms.Bug %] 465589</a>)</li>
<li>If you were using the <code>PROJECT</code> environment variable
to have multiple [% terms.Bugzilla %] installations using one codebase,
project-specific templates were being ignored.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=467324">[% terms.Bug %] 467324</a>)</li>
<li>Some versions of the SOAP::Lite Perl module had a b[% %]ug that caused
[%+ terms.Bugzilla %]'s XML-RPC service to break.
<code>checksetup.pl</code> now checks for these bad versions and
will reject them.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=468009">[% terms.Bug %] 468009</a>)</li>
<li>The font sizes in various places were too small, when using the
Classic skin.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=469136">[% terms.Bug %] 469136</a>)</li>
</ul>
<h2><a name="v32_security">Security Fixes In This 3.2.x Release</a></h2>
<h3>3.2.2</h3>
<p>This release fixes one security issue that is critical for installations
running 3.2.1 under mod_perl. See the
<a href="http://www.bugzilla.org/security/3.0.7/">Security Advisory</a>
for details.</p>
<h3>3.2.1</h3>
<p>This release contains several security fixes. One fix may break any
automated scripts you have that are loading <kbd>process_bug.cgi</kbd>
directly. We recommend that you read the entire
<a href="http://www.bugzilla.org/security/2.22.6/">Security Advisory</a>
for this release.</p>

<li><a href="#v32_feat_other">Other Enhancements and Changes</a></li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="v32_feat_ui"></a>Major UI Improvements</h3>
<p>[% terms.Bugzilla %] 3.2 has had some UI assistance from the NASA
Human-Computer Interaction department and the new
<a href="http://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:UE">[% terms.Bugzilla %]
User Interface Team</a>.</p>
<p>In particular, you will notice a massively redesigned [% terms.bug %]
editing form, in addition to our <a href="#v32_feat_skin">new skin</a>.</p>
<h3><a name="v32_feat_skin"></a>New Default Skin: Dusk</h3>
<p>[% terms.Bugzilla %] 3.2 now ships with a skin called "Dusk" that is
a bit more colorful than old default "Classic" skin.</p>
<p>Upgrading installations will still default to the "Classic"
skin--administrators can change the default in the Default Preferences
control panel. Users can also choose to use the old skin in their
Preferences (or using the View :: Page Style menu in Firefox).</p>
<p>The changes that [% terms.Bugzilla %] required for Dusk made
[%+ terms.Bugzilla %] much easier to skin. See the
<a href="http://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:Addons#Skins">Addons page</a>
for additional skins, or try making your own!</p>
<h3><a name="v32_feat_status"></a>Custom Status Workflow</h3>
<p>You can now customize the list of statuses in [% terms.Bugzilla %],
and transitions between them.</p>
<p>You can also specify that a comment must be made on certain transitions.</p>
<h3><a name="v32_feat_fields"></a>New Custom Field Types</h3>
<p>[% terms.Bugzilla %] 3.2 has support for three new types of
custom fields:</p>
<ul>
<li>Large Text: Adds a multi-line textbox to your [% terms.bugs %].</li>
<li>Multiple Selection Box: Adds a box that allows you to choose
multiple items from a list.</li>
<li>Date/Time: Displays a date and time, along with a JavaScript
calendar popup to make picking a date easier.</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="v32_feat_install"></a>Easier Installation</h3>
<p>[% terms.Bugzilla %] now comes with a script called
<kbd>install-module.pl</kbd> that can automatically download
and install all of the required Perl modules for [% terms.Bugzilla %].
It stores them in a directory inside your [% terms.Bugzilla %]
installation, so you can use it even if you don't have administrator-level
access to your machine, and without modifying your main Perl install.</p>
<p><kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd> will print out instructions for using
<kbd>install-module.pl</kbd>, or you can read its
<a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/install-module.html">documentation</a>.</p>
<h3><a name="v32_feat_oracle"></a>Experimental Oracle Support</h3>
<p>[% terms.Bugzilla %] 3.2 contains experimental support for using
Oracle as its database. Some features of [% terms.Bugzilla %] are known
to be broken on Oracle, but hopefully will be working by our next major
release.</p>
<p>The [% terms.Bugzilla %] Project, as an open-source project, of course
does not recommend the use of proprietary database solutions. However,
if your organization requires that you use Oracle, this will allow
you to use [% terms.Bugzilla %]!</p>
<p>The [% terms.Bugzilla %] Project thanks Oracle Corp. for their extensive
development contributions to [% terms.Bugzilla %] which allowed this to
happen!</p>
<h3><a name="v32_feat_utf8"></a>Improved UTF-8 Support</h3>
<p>[% terms.Bugzilla %] 3.2 now has advanced UTF-8 support in its code,
including correct handling for truncating and wrapping multi-byte
languages. Major issues with multi-byte or unusual languages
are now resolved, and [% terms.Bugzilla %] should now be usable
by users in every country with little (or at least much less)
customization.</p>
<h3><a name="v32_feat_grcons"></a>Group Icons</a></h3>
<p>Administrators can now specify that users who are in certain groups
should have an icon appear next to their name whenever they comment.
This is particularly useful for distinguishing developers from
[%+ terms.bug %] reporters.</p>
<h3><a name="v32_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 For Users</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>[% terms.Bugs %]</strong>: You can now reassign
[%+ terms.abug %] at the same time as you are changing its status.</li>
<li><strong>[% terms.Bugs %]</strong>: When entering [% terms.abug %],
you will now see the description of a component when you select it.</li>
<li><strong>[% terms.Bugs %]</strong>: The [% terms.bug %] view now
contains some <a href="http://microformats.org/about/">Microformats</a>,
most notably for users' names and email addresses.</li>
<li><strong>[% terms.Bugs %]</strong>: You can now remove a QA Contact
from [% terms.abug %] simply by clearing the QA Contact field.</li>
<li><strong>[% terms.Bugs %]</strong>: There is now a user preference
that will allow you to exclude the quoted text when replying
to comments.</li>
<li><strong>[% terms.Bugs %]</strong>: You can now expand or collapse
individual comments in the [% terms.bug %] view.</li>
<li><strong>Attachments</strong>: There is now "mid-air collision"
protection when editing attachments.</li>
<li><strong>Attachments</strong>: Patches in the Diff Viewer now show
line numbers (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=327546">Example</a>).</li>
<li><strong>Attachments</strong>: After creating or updating an attachment,
you will be immediately shown the [% terms.bug %] that the attachment
is on.</li>
<li><strong>Search</strong>: You can now reverse the sort of
[%+ terms.abug %] list by clicking on a column header again.</li>
<li><strong>Search</strong>: Atom feeds of [% terms.bug %] lists now
contain more fields.</li>
<li><strong>Search</strong>: QuickSearch now supports searching flags
and groups. It also now includes the OS field in the list of fields
it searches by default.</li>
<li><strong>Search</strong>: "Help" text can now appear on query.cgi
for Internet Explorer and other non-Firefox browsers. (It always
could appear for Firefox.)</li>
<li>[% terms.Bugzilla %] now ships with an icon that will show
up next to the URL in most browsers. If you want to replace it,
it's in <kbd>images/favicon.ico</kbd>.</li>
<li>You can now set the Deadline when using "Change Several
[%+ terms.Bugs %] At Once"</li>
<li><strong>Saved Searches</strong> now save their column list, so if
you customize the list of columns and save your search, it will
always contain those columns.</li>
<li><strong>Saved Searches</strong>: When you share a search, you can
now see how many users have subscribed to it, on
<kbd>userprefs.cgi</kbd>.</li>
<li><strong>Saved Searches</strong>: You can now see what group a
shared search was shared to, on the list of available shared searches
in <kbd>userprefs.cgi</kbd>.</li>
<li><strong>Flags</strong>: If your installation uses drop-down user
lists, the flag requestee box will now contain only users who are
actually allowed to take requests.</li>
<li><strong>Flags</strong>: If somebody makes a request to you, and you
change the requestee to somebody else, the requester is no longer set
to you. In other words, you can "redirect" requests and maintain the
original requester.</li>
<li><strong>Flags</strong>: Emails about flags now will thread properly
in email clients to be a part of [% terms.abug %]'s thread.</li>
<li>When using <kbd>email_in.pl</kbd>, you can now add users to the CC
list by just using <kbd>@cc</kbd> as the field name.</li>
<li>Many pages (particularly administrative pages) now contain links to
the relevant section of the [% terms.Bugzilla %] Guide, so you can read
the documentation for that page.</li>
<li>Dependency Graphs should render more quickly, as they now (by default)
only include the same [% terms.bugs %] that you'd see in the dependency
tree.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Enhancements For Administrators</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Admin UI</strong>: Instead of having the Administration
Control Panel links in the footer, there is now just one link called
"Administration" that takes you to a page that links to all the
administrative controls for [% terms.Bugzilla %].</li>
<li><strong>Admin UI</strong>: Administrative pages no longer display
confirmation pages, instead they redirect you to some useful page
and display a message about what changed.</li>
<li><strong>Admin UI</strong>: The interface for editing group
inheritance in <kbd>editgroups.cgi</kbd> is much clearer now.</li>
<li><strong>Admin UI</strong>: When editing a user, you can now see
all the components where that user is the Default Assignee or Default
QA Contact.</li>
<li><strong>Email</strong>: For installations that use SMTP to send
mail (as opposed to Sendmail), [%+ terms.Bugzilla %] now supports
SMTP Authentication, so that it can log in to your mail server
before sending messages.</li>
<li><strong>Email</strong>: Using the "Test" mail delivery method now
creates a valid mbox file to make testing easier.</li>
<li><strong>Authentication</strong>: [% terms.Bugzilla %] now correctly
handles LDAP records which contain multiple email addresses. (The first
email address in the list that is a valid [% terms.Bugzilla %] account
will be used, or if this is a new user, the first email address in
the list will be used.)</li>
<li><strong>Authentication</strong>: [% terms.Bugzilla %] can now take
a list of LDAP servers to try in order until it gets a successful
connection.</li>
<li><strong>Authentication</strong>: [% terms.Bugzilla %] now supports
RADIUS authentication.</li>
<li><strong>Security</strong>: The login cookie is now created as
"HTTPOnly" so that it can't be read by possibly malicious scripts.
Also, if SSL is enabled on your installation, the login cookie is
now only sent over SSL connections.</li>
<li><strong>Security</strong>: The <code>ssl</code> parameter now protects
every page a logged-in user accesses, when set to "authenticated sessions."
Also, SSL is now enforced appropriately in the WebServices interface when
the parameter is set.</li>
<li><strong>Database</strong>: [% terms.Bugzilla %] now uses transactions in
the database instead of table locks. This should generally improve
performance with many concurrent users. It also means if there is
an unexpected error in the middle of a page, all database changes made
during that page will be rolled back.</li>
<li><strong>Database</strong>: You no longer have to set
<code>max_packet_size</code> in MySQL to add large attachments. However,
you may need to set it manually if you restore a mysqldump into your
database.</li>
<li>New WebService functions:
<a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/Bugzilla/WebService/Bug.html">B<!-- -->ug.add_comment</a>
and <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/Bugzilla/WebService/Bugzilla.html">Bugzilla.extensions</a>.</li>
<li>You can now delete custom fields, but only if they have never been
set on any [% terms.bug %].</li>
<li>There is now a <kbd>--reset-password</kbd> argument to
<kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd> that allows you to reset a user's password
from the command line.</li>
<li>There is now a script called <kbd>sanitycheck.pl</kbd> that you can
run from the command line. It works just like <kbd>sanitycheck.cgi</kbd>.
By default, it only outputs anything if there's an error, so it's
ideal for administrators who want to run it nightly in a cron job.</li>
<li>The <kbd>strict_isolation</kbd> parameter now prevents you from setting
users who cannot see [% terms.abug %] as a CC, Assignee, or QA
Contact. Previously it only prevented you from adding users who
could not <em>edit</em> the [% terms.bug %].</li>
<li>Extensions can now add their own headers to the HTML <head>
for things like custom CSS and so on.</li>
<li><kbd>sanitycheck.cgi</kbd> has been templatized, meaning that the
entire [% terms.Bugzilla %] UI is now contained in templates.</li>
<li>When setting the <kbd>sslbase</kbd> parameter, you can now specify
a port number in the URL.</li>
<li>When importing [% terms.bugs %] using <kbd>importxml.pl</kbd>,
attachments will have their actual creator set as their creator,
instead of the person who exported the [% terms.bug %] from the other
system.</li>
<li>The voting system is off by default in new installs. This is to
prepare for the fact that it will be moved into an extension at
some point in the future.</li>
<li>The <code>shutdownhtml</code> parameter now works even when
[% terms.Bugzilla %]'s database server is down.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Enhancements for Localizers (or Localized Installations)</h3>
<ul>

<h2><a name="v32_upgrading"></a>How to Upgrade From An Older Version</h2>
<h3><a name="v32_upgrading_notes"></a>Notes For Upgraders</h3>
<ul>
<li>If you upgrade by CVS, the <kbd>extensions</kbd> and
<kbd>skins/contrib</kbd> directories are now in CVS instead of
being created by <kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd> If you do a <kbd>cvs update</kbd>
from 3.0, you will be told that your directories are "in the way" and
you should delete (or move) them and then do <kbd>cvs update</kbd>
again. Also, the <kbd>docs</kbd> directory has been restructured
and after you <kbd>cvs update</kbd> you can delete the <kbd>docs/html</kbd>,
<kbd>docs/pdf</kbd>, <kbd>docs/txt</kbd>, and <kbd>docs/xml</kbd>
directories.</li>
<li>If you are using MySQL, you should know that [% terms.Bugzilla %]
now uses InnoDB for all tables. <kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd> will convert
your tables automatically, but if you have InnoDB disabled,
the upgrade will not be able to complete (and <kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd>
will tell you so).</li>

<h3><a name="v32_code_hooks"></a>More Hooks!</h3>
<p>There are more code hooks in 3.2 than there were in 3.0. See the

for more details.</p>
<h3><a name="v32_code_search"></a>Search.pm Rearchitecture</h3>
<p><kbd>Bugzilla/Search.pm</kbd> has been heavily modified, to be much
easier to read and use. It contains mostly the same code as it did in
3.0, but it has been moved around and reorganized significantly.</p>
<h3><a name="v32_code_lib"></a>lib Directory</h3>
<p>As part of implementing <a href="#v32_feat_install">install-module.pl</a>,
[%+ terms.Bugzilla %] was given a local <kbd>lib</kbd> directory which
it searches for modules, in addition to the standard system path.</p>
<p>This means that all [% terms.Bugzilla %] scripts now start with
<code>use lib qw(. lib);</code> as one of the first lines.</p>
<h3><a name="v32_code_other"></a>Other Changes</h3>
<ul>
<li>You should now be using <code>get_status('NEW')</code> instead of

<h2><a name="v30_introduction"></a>Introduction</h2>
<p>Welcome to [% terms.Bugzilla %] 3.0! It's been over eight years since
we released [% terms.Bugzilla %] 2.0, and everything has changed since
then. Even just since our previous release, [% terms.Bugzilla %] 2.22,
we've added a <em>lot</em> of new features. So enjoy the release, we're
happy to bring it to you.</p>
<p>If you're upgrading, make sure to read <a href="#v30_upgrading">How to
Upgrade From An Older Version</a>. If you are upgrading from a release
before 2.22, make sure to read the release notes for all the
<a href="#v30_previous">previous versions</a> in between your version
and this one.</p>
<h2><a name="v30_point">Updates in this 3.0.x Release</a></h2>
<p>This section describes what's changed in the most recent b<!-- -->ug-fix
releases of [% terms.Bugzilla %] after 3.0. We only list the
most important fixes in each release. If you want a detailed list of
<em>everything</em> that's changed in each version, you should use our
<a href="http://www.bugzilla.org/status/changes.html">Change Log Page</a>.</p>
<h3>3.0.6</h3>
<ul>
<li>Before 3.0.6, unexpected fatal WebService errors would result in
a <code>faultCode</code> that was a string instead of a number.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=446327">[% terms.Bug %] 446327</a>)</li>
<li>If you created a product or component with the same name as one you
previously deleted, it would fail with an error about the series table.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=247936">[% terms.Bug %] 247936</a>)</li>
</ul>
<p>See also the <a href="#v30_security">Security Advisory</a> section for
information about a security issue fixed in this release.</p>
<h3>3.0.5</h3>
<ul>
<li>If you don't have permission to set a flag, it will now appear
unchangeable in the UI.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=433851">[% terms.Bug %] 433851</a>)</li>
<li>If you were running mod_perl, [% terms.Bugzilla %] was not correctly
closing its connections to the database since 3.0.3, and so sometimes
the DB would run out of connections.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=441592">[% terms.Bug %] 441592</a>)</li>
<li>The installation script is now clear about exactly which
<code>Email::</code> modules are required in Perl, thus avoiding the
problem where emails show up with a body like
<samp>SCALAR(0xBF126795)</samp>.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=441541">[% terms.Bug %] 441541</a>)</li>
<li><a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/email_in.html">email_in.pl</a>
is no longer case-sensitive for values of <kbd>@product</kbd>.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=365697">[% terms.Bug %] 365697</a>)</li>
</ul>
<p>See also the <a href="#v30_security">Security Advisory</a> section for
information about security issues fixed in this release.</p>
<h3>3.0.4</h3>
<ul>
<li>[% terms.Bugzilla %] administrators were not being correctly notified
about new releases.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=414726">[% terms.Bug %] 414726</a>)</li>
<li>There could be extra whitespace in email subject lines.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=411544">[% terms.Bug %] 411544</a>)</li>
<li>The priority, severity, OS, and platform fields were always required by
the <kbd>B<!-- -->ug.create</kbd> WebService function, even if they had
defaults specified.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=384009">[% terms.Bug %] 384009</a>)</li>
<li>Better threading of [% terms.bug %]mail in some email clients.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=376453">[% terms.Bug %] 376453</a>)</li>
<li>There were many fixes to the Inbound Email Interface
(<kbd>email_in.pl</kbd>).
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92274">[% terms.Bug %] 92274</a>,
<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=377025">[% terms.Bug %] 377025</a>,
<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=412943">[% terms.Bug %] 412943</a>,
<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=413672">[% terms.Bug %] 413672</a>, and
<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=431721">[% terms.Bug %] 431721</a>)</li>
<li>checksetup.pl now handles UTF-8 conversion more reliably during upgrades.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=374951">[% terms.Bug %] 374951</a>)</li>
<li>Comments written in CJK languages are now correctly word-wrapped.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=388723">[% terms.Bug %] 388723</a>)</li>
<li>All emails will now be sent in the correct language, when the user
has chosen a language for emails.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=405946">[% terms.Bug %] 405946</a>)
<li>On Windows, temporary files created when uploading attachments are now
correctly deleted when the upload is complete.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=414002">[% terms.Bug %] 414002</a>)</li>
<li><kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd> now prints correct installation instructions
for Windows users using Perl 5.10.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=414430">[% terms.Bug %] 414430</a>)
</ul>
<p>See also the <a href="#v30_security">Security Advisory</a> section for
information about security issues fixed in this release.</p>
<h3>3.0.3</h3>
<ul>
<li>mod_perl no longer compiles [% terms.Bugzilla %]'s code for each Apache
process individually. It now compiles code only once and shares it among
each Apache process. This greatly improves performance and highly
decreases the memory footprint.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398241">[% terms.Bug %] 398241</a>)</li>
<li>You can now search for '---' (without quotes) in versions and milestones.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=362436">[% terms.Bug %] 362436</a>)</li>
<li>[% terms.Bugzilla %] should no longer break lines unnecessarily in
email subjects. This was causing trouble with some email clients.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=374424">[% terms.Bug %] 374424</a>)</li>
<li>If you had selected "I'm added to or removed from this capacity" option
for the "CC" role in your email preferences, you wouldn't get mail when
more than one person was added to the CC list at once.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=394796">[% terms.Bug %] 394796</a>)</li>
<li>Deleting a user account no longer deletes whines from another user who
has the deleted account as addressee. The schedule is simply removed,
but the whine itself is left intact.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=395924">[% terms.Bug %] 395924</a>)</li>
<li><kbd>contrib/merge-users.pl</kbd> now correctly merges all required
fields when merging two user accounts.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=400160">[% terms.Bug %] 400160</a>)</li>
<li>[% terms.Bugzilla %] no longer requires Apache::DBI to run under
mod_perl. It caused troubles such as lost connections with the DB and
didn't give any important performance gain.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=408766">[% terms.Bug %] 408766</a>)</li>
</ul>
<h3>3.0.2</h3>
<ul>
<li>[% terms.Bugzilla %] should now work on Perl 5.9.5 (and thus the
upcoming Perl 5.10.0).
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=390442">[% terms.Bug %] 390442</a>)</li>
</ul>
<p>See also the <a href="#v30_security">Security Advisory</a> section for
information about an important security issue fixed in this release.</p>
<h3>3.0.1</h3>
<ul>
<li>For users of Firefox 2, the <code>show_bug.cgi</code> user interface
should no longer "collapse" after you modify a [% terms.bug %].
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=370739">[% terms.Bug %] 370739</a>)</li>
<li>If you can bless a group, and you share a saved search with that
group, it will no longer automatically appear in all of that group's
footers unless you specifically request that it automatically appear
in their footers.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=365890">[% terms.Bug %] 365890</a>)</li>
<li>There is now a parameter to allow users to perform searches without
any search terms. (In other words, to search for just a Product
and Status on the Simple Search page.) The parameter is called
<code>specific_search_allow_empty_words</code>.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=385910">[% terms.Bug %] 385910</a>)</li>
<li>If you attach a file that has a MIME-type of <code>text/x-patch</code>
or <code>text/x-diff</code>, it will automatically be treated as a
patch by [% terms.Bugzilla %].
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=365756">[% terms.Bug %] 365756</a>)</li>
<li>Dependency Graphs now work correctly on all mod_perl installations.
There should now be no remaining signficant problems with running
[%+ terms.Bugzilla %] under mod_perl.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=370398">[% terms.Bug %] 370398</a>)</li>
<li>If moving a [% terms.bug %] between products would remove groups
from the [% terms.bug %], you are now warned.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=303183">[% terms.Bug %] 303183</a>)</li>
<li>On IIS, whenever [% terms.Bugzilla %] threw a warning, it would
actually appear on the web page. Now warnings are suppressed,
unless you have a file in the <code>data</code> directory called
<code>errorlog</code>, in which case warnings will be printed there.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=390148">[% terms.Bug %] 390148</a>)</li>
<li>If you used <kbd>email_in.pl</kbd> to edit [% terms.abug %] that was
protected by groups, all of the groups would be cleared.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=385453">[% terms.Bug %] 385453</a>)</li>
<li>PostgreSQL users: New Charts were failing to collect data over time.
They will now start collecting data correctly.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=257351">[% terms.Bug %] 257351</a>)</li>
<li>Some flag mails didn't specify who the requestee was.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=379787">[% terms.Bug %] 379787</a>)</li>
<li>Instead of throwing real errors, <kbd>collectstats.pl</kbd> would
just say that it couldn't find <code>ThrowUserError</code>.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=380709">[% terms.Bug %] 380709</a>)</li>
<li>Logging into [% terms.Bugzilla %] from the home page works again
with IIS5.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=364008">[% terms.Bug %] 364008</a>)</li>
<li>If you were using SMTP for sending email, sometimes emails would
be missing the <code>Date</code> header.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=304999">[% terms.Bug %] 304999</a>).</li>
<li>In the XML-RPC WebService, <code>B<!-- -->ug.legal_values</code> now
correctly returns values for custom fields if you request values
for custom fields.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=381737">[% terms.Bug %] 381737</a>)</li>
<li>The "[% terms.Bug %]-Writing Guidelines" page has been shortened
and re-written.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=378590">[% terms.Bug %] 378590</a>)</li>
<li>If your <code>urlbase</code> parameter included a port number,
like <code>www.domain.com:8080</code>, SMTP might have failed.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=384501">[% terms.Bug %] 384501</a>)</li>
<li>For SMTP users, there is a new parameter, <code>smtp_debug</code>.
Turning on this parameter will log the full information about
every SMTP session to your web server's error log, to help with
debugging issues with SMTP.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=384497">[% terms.Bug %] 384497</a>)</li>
<li>If you are a "global watcher" (you get all mails from every
[% terms.bug %]), you can now see that in your Email Preferences.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=365302">[% terms.Bug %] 365302</a>)</li>
<li>The Status and Resolution of [% terms.bugs %] are now correctly
localized in CSV search results.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=389517">[% terms.Bug %] 389517</a>)</li>
<li>The "Subject" line of an email was being mangled if it contained
non-Latin characters.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=387860">[% terms.Bug %] 387860</a>)</li>
<li>Editing the "languages" parameter using <kbd>editparams.cgi</kbd> would
sometimes fail, causing [% terms.Bugzilla %] to throw an error.
(<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335354">[% terms.Bug %] 335354</a>)</li>

</ul>
<h3><a name="v30_feat_cf"></a>Custom Fields</h3>
<p>[% terms.Bugzilla %] now includes very basic support for custom fields.</p>
<p>Users in the <kbd>admin</kbd> group can add plain-text or drop-down
custom fields. 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. Try your best to get along with the default
fields, and then if you find that you can't live without custom fields
after a few weeks of using [% terms.Bugzilla %], only then should you
start your custom fields.</p>
<h3><a name="v30_feat_mp"></a>mod_perl Support</h3>
<p>[% terms.Bugzilla %] 3.0 supports mod_perl, which allows for extremely
enhanced page-load performance. mod_perl trades memory usage for performance,
allowing near-instantaneous page loads, but using much more memory.</p>
<p>If you want to enable mod_perl for your [% terms.Bugzilla %], we recommend
a minimum of 1.5GB of RAM, and for a site with heavy traffic, 4GB to 8GB.</p>
<p>If performance isn't that critical on your installation, you don't
have the memory, or you are running some other web server than
Apache, [% terms.Bugzilla %] still runs perfectly as a normal CGI
application, as well.</p>
<h3><a name="v30_feat_sq"></a>Shared Saved Searches</h3>
<p>Users can now choose to "share" their saved searches
with a certain group. 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="[% 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="[% 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 %]. If you write an alternate skin, please
let us know!</p>
<h3><a name="v30_feat_sbu"></a>Unchangeable Fields Appear
Unchangeable</h3>
<p>As long as you are logged in, when viewing [% terms.abug %], if you
cannot change a field, it will not look like you can change it. 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="[% 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>
<p>If your [% terms.Bugzilla %] installation is on a machine that needs to go
through a proxy to access the web, you may also have to set the
<kbd>proxy_url</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=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. Otherwise keywords may
not show up properly in search results.</li>
<li><a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99215">
[%- terms.Bug %] 99215</a>: Flags are not protected by "mid-air
collision" detection. Nor are any attachment changes.</li>
<li><a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89822">
[%- terms.Bug %] 89822</a>: When changing multiple [% terms.bugs %] at
the same time, there is no "mid-air collision" protection.</li>
<li><a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=276230">
[%- terms.Bug %] 276230</a>: The support for restricting access to
particular Categories of New Charts is not complete. You should treat
the 'chartgroup' Param as the only access mechanism available.<br>
However, charts migrated from Old Charts will be restricted to
the groups that are marked MANDATORY for the corresponding Product.
There is currently no way to change this restriction, and the
groupings will not be updated if the group configuration
for the Product changes.</li>
<li><a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=370370">
[%- terms.Bug %] 370370</a>: mod_perl support is currently not
working on Windows machines.</li>
<li><a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=361149">
[%- terms.Bug %] 361149</a>: If you are using Perl 5.8.0, you may
get a lot of warnings in your Apache error_log about "deprecated
pseudo-hashes." These are harmless--they are a b[%# fool test %]ug in
Perl 5.8.0. Perl 5.8.1 and later do not have this problem.</li>
<li>[% terms.Bugzilla %] 3.0rc1 allowed custom field column names in
the database to be mixed-case. [% terms.Bugzilla %] 3.0 only allows
lowercase column names. It will fix any column names that you have
made mixed-case, but if you have custom fields that previously were
mixed-case in any Saved Search, you will have to re-create that Saved
Search yourself.</li>
</ul>
<h2><a name="v30_security"></a>Security Updates in This Release</h2>
<h3>3.0.6</h3>
<p>[% terms.Bugzilla %] contains a minor security fix. For details, see the
<a href="http://www.bugzilla.org/security/2.20.6/">Security Advisory</a>.</p>
<h3>3.0.5</h3>
<p>[% terms.Bugzilla %] contains one security fix for
<a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/importxml.html">importxml.pl</a>.
For details, see the
<a href="http://www.bugzilla.org/security/2.22.4/">Security Advisory</a>.</p>
<h3>3.0.4</h3>
<p>[% terms.Bugzilla %] 3.0.4 contains three security fixes.
For details, see the
<a href="http://www.bugzilla.org/security/2.20.5/">Security Advisory</a>.</p>
</p>
<h3>3.0.3</h3>
<p>No security fixes in this release.</p>
<h3>3.0.2</h3>
<p>[% terms.Bugzilla %] 3.0.1 had an important security fix that is
critical for public installations with "requirelogin" turned on.
For details, see the
<a href="http://www.bugzilla.org/security/3.0.1/">Security Advisory</a></p>
<h3>3.0.1</h3>
<p>[% terms.Bugzilla %] 3.0 had three security issues that have been
fixed in this release: one minor information leak, one hole only
exploitable by an admin or using <code>email_in.pl</code>, and one in an
uncommonly-used template. For details, see the
<a href="http://www.bugzilla.org/security/2.20.4/">Security Advisory</a>.</p>
<h2><a name="v30_upgrading"></a>How to Upgrade From An Older Version</h2>
<h3><a name="v30_upgrading_notes"></a>Notes For Upgraders</h3>
<ul>
<li>If you upgrade by CVS, there are several .cvsignore files
that are now in CVS instead of being locally created by
<kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd>. This means that you will have to
delete those files when CVS tells you there's a conflict, and
then run <kbd>cvs update</kbd> again.</li>
<li>In this version of [% terms.Bugzilla %], the Summary field
is now limited to 255 characters. When you upgrade, any Summary
longer than that will be truncated, and the old summary will be
preserved in a comment.</li>
<li>If you have the <kbd>utf8</kbd> parameter turned on, at some
point you will have to convert your database. <kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd>
will tell you when this is, and it will give you certain instructions
at that time, that you have to follow before you can complete
the upgrade. Don't do the conversion yourself manually--follow
the instructions of checksetup.pl.</li>
<li>If you ever ran 2.23.3, 2.23.4, or 3.0rc1, you will have to run
<kbd>./collectstats.pl --regenerate</kbd> at the command line, because
the data for your Old Charts is corrupted. This can take several days,
so you may only want to run it if you use Old Charts.</li>
<li>You should also read the Outstanding Issues sections of
<a href="#v30_previous">older release notes</a> if you are upgrading
from a version lower than 2.22.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Steps For Upgrading</h3>
<p>Once you have read the notes above, see the
<a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]upgrade.html">Upgrading
documentation</a> for instructions on how to upgrade.</p>
<h2><a name="v30_code_changes"></a>Code Changes Which May Affect
Customizations</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="#v30_code_loc"><strong>Packagers:</strong> Location
Variables Have Moved</a></li>
<li><a href="#v30_code_hooks">Hooks!</a></li>

<li><a href="#v30_code_req">Bugzilla->request_cache</a></li>
<li><a href="#v30_code_other">Other Changes</a></li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="v30_code_loc"></a><strong>Packagers:</strong> Location
Variables Have Moved</h3>
<p>In previous versions of [% terms.Bugzilla %], <kbd>Bugzilla::Config</kbd>
held all the paths for different things, such as the path to localconfig
and the path to the <kbd>data/</kbd> directory.</p>
<p>Now, all of this data is stored in a subroutine,
<kbd>Bugzilla::Constants::bz_locations</kbd>.</p>
<p>Also, note that for mod_perl, <kbd>bz_locations</kbd> must return
<em>absolute</em> (not relative) paths. There is already code in that
subroutine to help you with this.</p>
<h3><a name="v30_code_hooks"></a>Hooks!</h3>
<p>[% terms.Bugzilla %] now supports a code hook mechanism. See the
documentation for
<a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/Bugzilla/Hook.html">Bugzilla::Hook</a>
for more details.</p>
<p>This gives [% terms.Bugzilla %] very advanced plugin support. You can
hook templates, hook code, add new parameters, and use the XML-RPC
interface. So we'd like to see some [% terms.Bugzilla %] plugins
written! Let us know on the <a href="http://bugzilla.org/cgi-bin/mj_wwwusr?func=lists-long-full&extra=developers">developers@bugzilla.org</a>
mailing list if you write a plugin.</p>
<p>If you need more hooks, please
<a href="http://www.bugzilla.org/developers/reporting_bugs.html">File a
bug</a>!</p>
<h3><a name="v30_code_api"></a>API Documentation</h3>
<p>[% terms.Bugzilla %] now ships with all of its perldoc built
as HTML. Go ahead and read the
<a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/">API Documentation</a>
for all of the [% terms.Bugzilla %] modules now! Even scripts like
<kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd> have HTML documentation.</p>
<h3><a name="v30_code_globals"></a>Elimination of globals.pl</h3>
<p>The old file <kbd>globals.pl</kbd> has been eliminated.
Its code is now in various modules. Each function went to the module
that was appropriate for it.</p>
<p>Usually we filed [% terms.abug %] in
<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org">bugzilla.mozilla.org</a> for
each function we moved. You can search there for the old name of
the function, and that should get you the information about what
it's called now and where it lives.</p>
<h3><a name="v30_code_scope"></a>Cleaned Up Variable Scoping Issues</h3>
<p>In normal perl, you can have code like this:</p>
<pre>my $var = 0;
sub y { $var++ }</pre>
<p>However, under mod_perl that doesn't work. So variables are no
longer "shared" with subroutines--instead all variables
that a subroutine needs must be declared inside the subroutine itself.</p>
<h3><a name="v30_code_sql"></a>No More SendSQL</h3>
<p>The old <kbd>SendSQL</kbd> function and all of its companions are
<strong>gone</strong>. Instead, we now use DBI for all database
interaction.</p>
<p>For more information about how to use
<a href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?DBI">DBI</a> with
[% terms.Bugzilla %], see the
<a href="http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/developer.html#sql-sendreceive">Developer's
Guide Section About DBI</a></p>
<h3><a name="v30_code_auth"></a>Auth Re-write</h3>
<p>The <kbd>Bugzilla::Auth</kbd> family of modules have been completely
re-written. For details on how the new structure of authentication,
read the
<a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/Bugzilla/Auth.html">Bugzilla::Auth
API docs</a>.</p>
<p>It should be very easy to write new authentication plugins, now.</p>
<h3><a name="v30_code_obj"></a>Bugzilla::Object</h3>
<p>There is a new base class for most of our objects,
<a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/Bugzilla/Object.html">Bugzilla::Object</a>.
It makes it really easy to create new objects based on things that are
in the database.</p>
<h3><a name="v30_code_req"></a>Bugzilla->request-cache</h3>
<p><kbd>Bugzilla.pm</kbd> used to cache things like the database
connection in package-global variables (like <kbd>$_dbh</kbd>).
That doesn't work in mod_perl, so instead now there's a hash
that can be accessed through <code>Bugzilla->request_cache</code>
to store things for the rest of the current page request.</p>
<p>You shouldn't access <code>Bugzilla->request_cache</code> directly,
but you should use it inside of <kbd>Bugzilla.pm</kbd> if you modify
that. The only time you should be accessing it directly is if you need
to reset one of the caches. Hash keys are always named after the function
that they cache, so to reset the template object, you'd do:
<code>delete Bugzilla->request_cache->{template};</code>.</p>
<h3><a name="v30_code_other"></a>Other Changes</h3>
<ul>
<li><code>checksetup.pl</code> has been completely re-written, and most
of its code moved into modules in the <kbd>Bugzilla::Install</kbd>
namespace. See the
<a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/checksetup.html">checksetup
documentation</a> and <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=277502&hide_resolved=0">[% terms.Bugzilla %]
[%+ terms.bug %] 277502</a> for details.</li>
<li>Instead of <kbd>UserInGroup()</kbd>, all of [% terms.Bugzilla %] now
uses <kbd>Bugzilla->user->in_group</kbd></li>
<li>mod_perl doesn't like dependency loops in modules, so we now have
a test for that detects dependency loops in modules when you run
<kbd>runtests.pl</kbd>.</li>
<li><kbd>globals.pl</kbd> used to modify the environment variables,
like <kbd>PATH</kbd>. That now happens in <kbd>Bugzilla.pm</kbd>.</li>
<li>Templates can now link to the documentation more easily.
See the <kbd>global/code-error.html.tmpl</kbd> and
<kbd>global/user-error.html.tmpl</kbd> templates for examples.
(Search for "docslinks.")</li>
<li>Parameters are accessed through <kbd>Bugzilla->params</kbd>
instead of using the <kbd>Param()</kbd> function, now.</li>
<li>The variables from the <kbd>localconfig</kbd> file are accessed
through the <code>Bugzilla->localconfig</code> hash instead of through
<kbd>Bugzilla::Config</kbd>.</li>
<li><kbd>Bugzilla::BugMail::MessageToMTA()</kbd> has moved into its
own module, along with other mail-handling code, called
<kbd>Bugzilla::Mailer</kbd></li>
<li>The <kbd>CheckCanChangeField()</kbd> subroutine in
<kbd>process_bug.cgi</kbd> has been moved to <kbd>Bugzilla::Bug</kbd>,
and is now a method of a [% terms.bug %] object.</li>
<li>The code that used to be in the <kbd>global/banner.html.tmpl</kbd>
template is now in <kbd>global/header.html.tmpl</kbd>. The banner
still exists, but the file is empty.</li>
</ul>
