Bugzilla improvement project update
02.12.08 - 08:33pm
As you may know from my last post on Bugzilla, a lot of improvements/fixes are in the works. Wanted to give everyone an update on what has gone live on bugzilla.mozilla.org so far:
– Send mail in the background after confirming to the user instead of waiting for the mail to be sent while the user waits (related to bug 284184 – local backport)
– Fix for a regression from our last upgrade involving mid-air collision detection (bug 413258/415490)
– Fix for a problem with the OpenSearch plugin (bug 411844)
– Allow searching for ‘—’ in versions and milestones (bug 362436)
– Fix for Subject lines in emails being improperly line-broken and erratically spaced (bug 411544)
– Add a References header to notification mails to assist with threading in mail clients (bug 376453)
All in all, a very good beginning, but we have much more in store. Work has already begun on phase 1 of our project, scheduled to be complete in Q1 of 2008. We are very excited about the Bugzilla improvements, hoping it really helps improve productivity for the project!
Related, we are always looking for people to help out. If you are interested in working on making Bugzilla better for Mozilla and the rest of the OSS community, please get in contact me. The more people we have working on this, the faster the improvements come
