EmForge - Wiki

Version 0.24 released

We are happy to announce that after almost 2 months of development new version of EmForge is released. Major changes are:

Launcher bundled with Jetty

Now users, even those that don't know what 'deploy' and 'war' mean may use EmForge. Downloads page contains emforge-launcher zip file, contained everything required to start. Just download, unpack and press "run".

In the next version we are planning to add Windows Installer to simplify installation process.

Working with EmForge from Eclipse via MyLyn

Now users can work with EmForge from Eclipse using MyLyn

plugin and EmForge MyLyn Provider. This repository provider allows users to:

Connect to EmForge from Eclipse
Get the list of tasks by query with many parameters
Process tasks including working with attachments and comments

Tested with latest editions of Eclipse - Eclipse 3.3 (Europe) and new upcoming Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede)

CVS Support

Starting from EmForge-0.24 we are using maven-scm

for working with version control repositories from EmForge.

Unfortunately, initially maven-scm did not support required commands to work with external repositories, so we had to extend maven-scm on our own to add required support (Currently we are working with maven-scm team to incorporate our changes into maven-scm project, so this functionality should be available for other open-source developers in near future).

At the moment, though, Subversion and CVS repositories are supported. Read more about version control configuration at EmForge Version Control Integration wiki page.

Our intention is to add support for more systems (first of all git and mercurial), so we would like to request some advice from people, who has experience in working with them (to setup repositories, help us with API and commands). Feel free to contact us via EmForge Mail Lists with any comments and suggestions. Any help will be appreciated.

Individual repositories for projects

Now it is possible to specify repository for specified project. The link to the source-browser will be available from the project page.

Upgrade Manager

EmForge has upgrade manager module and upgrading form previous version should not require anything from users - all data in databases should be upgraded automatically. But, a word to the wise, it is always recommended to make a backup of your existing database before upgrading to the new version.

Localization

Localization support added. Currently English and Russian are supported. Users may choose their language at the login form.

If you want to add support for your language feel free to contact us.

XML-RPC Support

Now all services available for external tools via:

WebServices & REST (was added in previsious version with using CXF)
Xml-RPC (was added in EmForge-0.24)

Many bugs fixed

As always many bugs fixed. Only hope we fixed more bugs then produced with new features :)
