+
+<p>Welcome to [% terms.Bugzilla %] 3.6! The focus of the 3.6 release is
+ on improving usability and "polishing up" all our features (by adding
+ some pieces that were "missing" or always wanted), although we
+ also have a few great new features for you, as well!</p>
+
+<p>If you're upgrading, make sure to read <a href="#v36_upgrading">Notes
+ On Upgrading From a Previous Version</a>. If you are upgrading from a release
+ before 3.4, make sure to read the release notes for all the
+ <a href="#v36_previous">previous versions</a> in between your version
+ and this one, <strong>particularly the Upgrading section of each
+ version's release notes</strong>.</p>

+
+<h3 id="v36_feat_usability">General Usability Improvements</h3>
+
+<p>A <a href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:CMU_HCI_Research_2008">scientific
+ usability study</a> was done on [% terms.Bugzilla %] by researchers
+ from Carnegie-Mellon University. As a result of this study,
+ <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=490786&hide_resolved=0">several
+ usability issues</a> were prioritized to be fixed, based on specific data
+ from the study.</p>
+
+<p>As a result, you will see many small improvements in [% terms.Bugzilla %]'s
+ usability, such as using Javascript to validate certain forms before
+ they are submitted, standardizing the words that we use in the user interface,
+ being clearer about what [% terms.Bugzilla %] needs from the user,
+ and other changes, all of which are also listed individually in this New
+ Features section.</p>
+
+<p>Work continues on improving usability for the next release of
+ [%+ terms.Bugzilla %], but the results of the research have already
+ had an impact on this 3.6 release.</p>
+
+<h3 id="v36_feat_extensions">New Extensions System</h3>
+
+<p>[% terms.Bugzilla %] has a brand-new Extensions system. The system is
+ consistent, fast, and
+ <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/Bugzilla/Extension.html">fully
+ documented</a>. It makes it possible to easily extend [% terms.Bugzilla %]'s
+ code and user interface to add new features or change existing features.
+ There's even
+ <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/extensions/create.html">a
+ script</a> that will create the basic layout of an extension for you, to
+ help you get started. For more information about the new system, see the
+ <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/Bugzilla/Extension.html">Extensions
+ documentation</a>.</p>
+
+<p>If you had written any extensions using [% terms.Bugzilla %]'s previous
+ extensions system, there is
+ <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/contrib/extension-convert.html">a
+ script to help convert old extensions into the new format</a>.</p>
+
+<h3 id="v36_feat_qs">Improved Quicksearch</h3>
+
+<p>The "quicksearch" box that appears on the front page of
+ [%+ terms.Bugzilla %] and in the header/footer of every page
+ is now simplified and made more powerful. There is a
+ <kbd>[?]</kbd> link next to the box that will take you to
+ the simplified <a href="page.cgi?id=quicksearch.html">Quicksearch Help</a>,
+ which describes every single feature of the system in a simple layout,
+ including new features such as the ability to use partial field names
+ when searching.</p>
+
+<p>Quicksearch should also be much faster than it was before, particularly
+ on large installations.</p>
+
+<p>Note that in order to implement the new quicksearch, certain old
+ and rarely-used features had to be removed:
+
+<ul>
+ <li><b>+</b> as a prefix to mean "search additional resolutions", and
+ <b>+</b> as a prefix to mean "search just the summary". You can
+ instead use <kbd>summary:</kbd> to explicitly search summaries.</li>
+ <li>Searching the Severity field if you type something that matches
+ the first few characters of a severity. You can explicitly search
+ the Severity field if you want to find [% terms.bugs %] by severity.</li>
+ <li>Searching the Priority field if you typed something that exactly
+ matched the name of a priority. You can explicitly search the
+ Priority field if you want to find [% terms.bugs %] by priority.</li>
+ <li>Searching the Platform and OS fields if you typed in one of a
+ certain hard-coded list of strings (like "pc", "windows", etc.).
+ You can explicitly search these fields, instead, if you want to
+ find [% terms.bugs %] with a specific Platform or OS set.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3 id="v36_feat_browse">Simple "Browse" Interface</h3>
+
+<p>There is now a "Browse" link in the header of each [% terms.Bugzilla %]
+ page that presents a very basic interface that allows users to simply
+ browse through all open [% terms.bugs %] in particular components.</p>
+
+<h3 id="v36_feat_suexec">SUExec Support</h3>
+
+<p>[% terms.Bugzilla %] can now be run in Apache's "SUExec" mode,
+ which is what control panel software like cPanel and Plesk use
+ (so [% terms.Bugzilla %] should now be much easier to install
+ on shared hosting). SUExec support shows up as an option
+ in the <kbd>localconfig</kbd> file during installation.</p>
+
+<h3 id="36_feat_mpwindows">Experimental mod_perl Support on Windows</h3>
+
+<p>There is now experimental support for running [% terms.Bugzilla %]
+ under mod_perl on Windows, for a significant performance enhancement
+ (in exchange for using more memory).</p>
+
+<h3 id="v36_email_attachments">Send Attachments by Email</h3>
+
+<p>The <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/email_in.html">email_in</a>
+ script now supports attaching multiple attachments to [% terms.abug %]
+ by email, both when filing and when updating [% terms.abug %].</p>
+
+<h3 id="v36_feat_jsonrpc">JSON-RPC Interface</h3>
+
+<p>[% terms.Bugzilla %] now has support for the
+ <a href="http://json-rpc.org/">JSON-RPC</a> WebServices protocol via
+ <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/Bugzilla/WebService/Server/JSONRPC.html">jsonrpc.cgi</a>.
+ The JSON-RPC interface is experimental in this release--if you want any
+ fundamental changes in how it works,
+ <a href="http://www.bugzilla.org/developers/reporting_bugs.html">let us
+ know</a>, for the next release of [% terms.Bugzilla %].</p>
+
+<h3 id="v36_feat_migrate">Migration From Other [% terms.Bug %]-Trackers</h3>
+
+<p>[% terms.Bugzilla %] 3.6 comes with a new script,
+ <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/migrate.html">migrate.pl</a>,
+ which allows migration from other [% terms.bug %]-tracking systems.
+ Among the various features of the migration system are:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>It is non-destructive--you can migrate into an existing
+ [%+ terms.Bugzilla %] installation without destroying any data
+ in the installation.</li>
+ <li>It has a "dry-run" mode so you can test your migration
+ before actually running it.</li>
+ <li>It is relatively easy to write new migrators for new systems,
+ if you know Perl. The basic migration framework does most of the work
+ for you, you just have to provide it with the data from your
+ [%+ terms.bug %]-tracker. See the
+ <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/Bugzilla/Migrate.html">Bugzilla::Migrate</a>
+ documentation and see our current migrator,
+ <kbd>Bugzilla/Migrate/GNATS.pm</kbd> for information on how to make your
+ own migrator.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>The first migrator that has been implemented is for the GNATS
+ [%+ terms.bug %]-tracking system. We'd love to see migrators for
+ other systems! If you want to contribute a new migrator, see our
+ <a href="http://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:Developers">development
+ process</a> for details on how to get code into [% terms.Bugzilla %].</p>
+
+<p>Thanks to <a href="http://lambdares.com/">Lambda Research</a> for
+ funding the initial development of this feature.</p>
+
+<h3 id="v36_feat_other">Other Enhancements and Changes</h3>
+
+<h4>Enhancements for Users</h4>
+
+<ul>
+ <li><b>[% terms.Bug %] Filing:</b> When filing [% terms.abug %],
+ [%+ terms.Bugzilla %] now visually indicates which fields are
+ mandatory.</li>
+ <li><b>[% terms.Bug %] Filing:</b> "Bookmarkable templates" now
+ support the "alias" and "estimated hours" fields.</li>
+
+ <li><b>[% terms.Bug %] Editing:</b> In previous versions of
+ [%+ terms.Bugzilla %], if you added a private comment to [% terms.abug %],
+ then <em>none</em> of the changes that you made at that time were
+ sent to users who couldn't see the private comment. Now, for users
+ who can't see private comments, public changes are sent, but the private
+ comment is excluded from their email notification.</li>
+ <li><b>[% terms.Bug %] Editing:</b> The controls for groups now
+ appear to the right of the attachment and time-tracking tables,
+ when editing [% terms.abug %].</li>
+ <li><b>[% terms.Bug %] Editing:</b> The "Collapse All Comments"
+ and "Expand All Comments" links now appear to the right of the
+ comment list instead of above it.</li>
+
+ <li><b>Attachments:</b> The "Details" page of an attachment
+ now displays itself as uneditable if you can't edit the fields
+ there.</li>
+ <li><b>Attachments:</b> We now make sure that there is
+ a Description specified for an attachment, using JavaScript, before
+ the form is submitted.</li>
+ <li><b>Attachments:</b> There is now a link back to the [% terms.bug %]
+ at the bottom of the "Details" page for an attachment.</li>
+ <li><b>Attachments:</b> When you click on an "attachment 12345" link
+ in a comment, if the attachment is a patch, you will now see the
+ formatted "Diff" view instead of the raw patch.</li>
+
+ <li><b>Search:</b> You can now display [% terms.bug %] flags as a column
+ in search results.</li>
+ <li><b>Search:</b> When viewing search results, you can see which columns are
+ being sorted on, and which direction the sort is on, as indicated
+ by arrows next to the column headers.</li>
+ <li><b>Search:</b> You can now search the Deadline field using relative
+ dates (like "1d", "2w", etc.).</li>
+ <li><b>Search:</b> The iCalendar format of search results now includes
+ a PRIORITY field.</li>
+ <li><b>Search:</b> It is no longer an error to enter an invalid search
+ order in a search URL--[% terms.Bugzilla %] will simply warn you that
+ some of your order options are invalid.</li>
+ <li><b>Search:</b> When there are no search results, some helpful
+ links are displayed, offering actions you might want to take.</li>
+ <li><b>Search:</b> For those who like to make their own
+ <kbd>buglist.cgi</kbd> URLs (and for people working on customizations),
+ <kbd>buglist.cgi</kbd> now accepts nearly every valid field in
+ [%+ terms.Bugzilla %] as a direct URL parameter, like
+ <kbd>&field=value</kbd>.</li>
+
+ <li><b>Requests:</b> When viewing the "My Requests" page, you can now
+ see the lists as a normal search result by clicking a link at the
+ bottom of each table.</li>
+ <li><b>Requests:</b> When viewing the "My Requests" page, if you are
+ using Classifications, the Product drop-down will be grouped by
+ Classification.</li>
+
+ <li><b>Inbound Email:</b> When filing [% terms.abug %] by email, if the
+ product that you are filing the [% terms.bug %] into has some groups
+ set as Default for you, the [% terms.bug %] will now be placed into those
+ groups automatically.</li>
+ <li><b>Inbound Email:</b> The field names that can be used when creating
+ [%+ terms.bugs %] by email now exactly matches the set of valid parameters
+ to the
+ <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/Bugzilla/WebService/Bug.html#create">B[% %]ug.create
+ WebService function</a>. You can still use most of the old field names
+ that 3.4 and earlier used for inbound emails, though, for
+ backwards-compatibility.</li>
+
+ <li>If there are multiple languages available for your
+ [%+ terms.Bugzilla %], you can now select what language you want
+ [%+ terms.Bugzilla %] displayed in using links at the top of every
+ page.</li>
+ <li>When creating a new account, you will be automatically logged in
+ after setting your password.</li>
+ <li>There is no longer a maximum password length for accounts.</li>
+ <li>In the Dusk skin, it's now easier to see links.</li>
+ <li>In the Whining system, you can now choose to receive emails even
+ if there are no [% terms.bugs %] that match your searches.</li>
+ <li>The arrows in dependency graphs now point the other way, so that
+ [%+ terms.bugs %] point at their dependencies.</li>
+
+ <li><b>New Charts:</b> You can now convert an existing Saved Search
+ into a data series for New Charts.</li>
+ <li><b>New Charts:</b> There is now an interface that allows you to
+ delete data series.</li>
+ <li><b>New Charts:</b> When deleting a product, you now have the option
+ to delete the data series that are associated with that product.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h4>Enhancements for Administrators and Developers</h4>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>Depending on how your workflow is set up, it is now possible to
+ have both UNCONFIRMED and REOPENED show up as status choices for
+ a closed [% terms.bug %]. If you only want one or the other to
+ show up, you should edit your status workflow appropriately
+ (possibly by removing or disabling the REOPENED status).</li>
+ <li>You can now "disable" field values so that they don't show
+ up as choices on [% terms.abug %] unless they are already set as
+ the value for that [% terms.bug %]. This doesn't work for the
+ per-product field values (component, target_milestone, and version)
+ yet, though.</li>
+ <li>Users are now locked out of their accounts for 30 minutes after
+ trying five bad passwords in a row during login. Every time a
+ user is locked out like this, the user in the "maintainer" parameter
+ will get an email.</li>
+ <li>The minimum length allowed for a password is now 6 characters.</li>
+ <li>The <kbd>UNCONFIRMED</kbd> status being enabled in a product
+ is now unrelated to the voting parameters. Instead, there is a checkbox
+ to enable the <kbd>UNCONFIRMED</kbd> status in a product.</li>
+ <li>Information about duplicates is now stored in the database instead
+ of being stored in the <kbd>data/</kbd> directory. On large installations
+ this could save several hundred megabytes of disk space.</li>
+
+ <li><b>Installation:</b> When installing [% terms.Bugzilla %], the
+ "maintainer" parameter will be automatically set to the administrator
+ that was created by <kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd>.</li>
+ <li><b>Installation:</b> <kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd> now prints out
+ certain errors in a special color so that you know that something
+ needs to be done.</li>
+ <li><b>Installation:</b> <kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd> is now <em>much</em>
+ faster at upgrading installations, particularly older installations.
+ Also, it's been made faster to run for the case where it's not
+ doing an upgrade.</li>
+
+ <li>When editing a group, you can now specify that members of a group
+ are allowed to grant others membership in that group itself.</li>
+ <li>The ability to compress BMP attachments to PNGs is now an Extension.
+ To enable the feature, remove the file
+ <kbd>extensions/BmpConvert/disabled</kbd> and then run checksetup.pl.</li>
+ <li>The default list of values for the Priority field are now clear English
+ words instead of P1, P2, etc.</li>
+ <li>There is now a system in place so that all field values can be
+ localized. See the <kbd>value_descs</kbd> variable in
+ <kbd>template/en/default/global/field-descs.none.tmpl</kbd>.</li>
+ <li><kbd>config.cgi</kbd> now returns an ETag header and understands
+ the If-None-Match header in HTTP requests.</li>
+ <li>The XML format of <kbd>show_bug.cgi</kbd> now returns more information:
+ the numeric id of each comment, whether an attachment is a URL,
+ the modification time of an attachment, the numeric id of a flag,
+ and the numeric id of a flag's type.</li>
+
+ <li><b>Parameters:</b> Parameters that aren't actually required are no longer
+ in the "Required" section of the Parameters page. Instead, some are in the
+ new "General" section, and some are in the new "Advanced" section.</li>
+ <li><b>Parameters:</b> The old <kbd>ssl</kbd> parameter has been
+ changed to <kbd>ssl_redirect</kbd>, and can only be turned "on" or "off".
+ If "on", then all users will be forcibly redirected to SSL whenever
+ they access [% terms.Bugzilla %]. When the parameter is off,
+ no SSL-related redirects will occur (even if the user directly
+ accesses [% terms.Bugzilla %] via SSL, they will <em>not</em> be
+ redirected to a non-SSL page).</li>
+ <li><b>Parameters:</b> In the Advanced parameters, there is a new parameter,
+ <kbd>inbound_proxies</kbd>. If your [% terms.Bugzilla %] is behind a
+ proxy, you should set this parameter to the IP address of that proxy.
+ Then, [% terms.Bugzilla %] will "believe" any "X-Forwarded-For"
+ header sent from that proxy, and correctly use the X-Forwarded-For
+ as the end user's IP, instead of believing that all traffic is coming
+ from the proxy.</li>
+
+ <li><b>Removed Parameter:</b> The <kbd>loginnetmask</kbd> parameter has
+ been removed. Since [% terms.Bugzilla %] sends secure cookies, it's no
+ longer necessary to always restrict logins to a specific IP or block
+ of addresses.</li>
+ <li><b>Removed Parameter:</b> The <kbd>quicksearch_comment_cutoff</kbd>
+ parameter is gone. Quicksearch now always searches comments; however, it
+ uses a much faster algorithm to do it.</li>
+ <li><b>Removed Parameter:</b> The <kbd>usermatchmode</kbd> parameter has
+ been removed. User-matching is now <em>always</em> done.</li>
+ <li><b>Removed Parameter:</b> The <kbd>useentrygroupdefault</kbd> parameter
+ has been removed. [% terms.Bugzilla %] now always behaves as though
+ that parameter were off.</li>
+ <li>The <kbd>t/001compile.t</kbd> test should now always pass, no matter
+ what configuration of optional modules you do or don't have installed.</li>
+ <li>New script: <kbd>contrib/console.pl</kbd>, which allows you to have
+ a "command line" into [% terms.Bugzilla %] by inputting Perl code
+ or using a few custom commands.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h4>WebService Changes</h4>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>The WebService now returns all dates and times in the UTC timezone.
+ <kbd>B[% %]ugzilla.time</kbd> now acts as though the [% terms.Bugzilla %]
+ server were in the UTC timezone, always. If you want to write clients
+ that are compatible across all [% terms.Bugzilla %] versions,
+ check the timezone from <kbd>B[% %]ugzilla.timezone</kbd> or
+ <kbd>B[% %]ugzilla.time</kbd>, and always input times in that timezone
+ and expect times to be returned in that format.</li>
+ <li>You can now log in by passing <kbd>Bugzilla_login</kbd> and
+ <kbd>Bugzilla_password</kbd> as arguments to any WebService function.
+ See the
+ <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/Bugzilla/WebService.html#LOGGING_IN">Bugzilla::WebService</a>
+ documentation for details.</li>
+ <li>New Method:
+ <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/Bugzilla/WebService/Bug.html#attachments">B[% %]ug.attachments</a>
+ which allows getting information about attachments.</li>
+ <li>New Method:
+ <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/Bugzilla/WebService/Bug.html#fields">B[% %]ug.fields</a>,
+ which gets information about all the fields that [% terms.abug %] can have
+ in [% terms.Bugzilla %], include custom fields and legal values for
+ all fields. The <kbd>B[% %]ug.legal_values</kbd> method is now deprecated.</li>
+ <li>In the <kbd>B[% %]ug.add_comment</kbd> method, the "private" parameter
+ has been renamed to "is_private" (for consistency with other methods).
+ You can still use "private", though, for backwards-compatibility.</li>
+ <li>The WebService now has Perl's "taint mode" turned on. This means that
+ it validates all data passed in before sending it to the database.
+ Also, all parameter names are validated, and if you pass in a parameter
+ whose name contains anything other than letters, numbers, or underscores,
+ that parameter will be ignored. Mostly this just affects
+ customizers--[% terms.Bugzilla %]'s WebService is not functionally
+ affected by these changes.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2 id="v36_issues">Outstanding Issues</h2>
+
+<ul>
+ <li><a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=423439">
+ [%- terms.Bug %] 423439</a>: Tabs in comments will be converted
+ to four spaces, due to a b<!-- -->ug in Perl as of Perl 5.8.8.</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. Otherwise keywords may
+ not show up properly in search results.</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>
+</ul>
+
+<h2 id="v36_upgrading">Notes On Upgrading From a Previous Version</h2>
+
+<p>When upgrading to 3.6, <kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd> will create foreign keys
+ for many columns in the database. Before doing this, it will check the
+ database for consistency. If there are an unresolvable consistency
+ problems, it will tell you what table and column in the database contain
+ the bad values, and which values are bad. If you don't know what else to do,
+ you can always delete the database records which contain the bad values by
+ logging in to your database and running the following command:</p>
+
+<p><code>DELETE FROM <var>table</var> WHERE <var>column</var> IN
+ (<var>1, 2, 3, 4</var>)</code></p>
+
+<p>Just replace "table" and "column" with the name of the table
+ and column that <kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd> mentions, and "1, 2, 3, 4"
+ with the invalid values that <kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd> prints out.</p>
+
+<p>Remember that you should always back up your database before doing
+ an upgrade.</p>
+
+<h2 id="v36_code_changes">Code Changes Which May Affect Customizations</h2>
+

+ <li>Comments are now represented as a
+ <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/Bugzilla/Comment.html">Bugzilla::Comment</a>
+ object instead of just being hashes.</li>
+ <li>In previous versions of [% terms.Bugzilla %], the template for displaying
+ [%+ terms.abug %] required a lot of extra variables that are now global
+ template variables instead.</li>
+ <li>You can now check if optional modules are installed by using
+ <kbd>Bugzilla->feature</kbd> in Perl code or
+ <kbd>feature_enabled</kbd> in template code.</li>
+ <li>All of the various template header information required to display
+ the [% terms.bug %] form is now in one template,
+ <kbd>template/en/default/bug/show-header.html.tmpl</kbd>.</li>
+ <li>You should now use <kbd>display_value</kbd> instead of
+ <kbd>get_status</kbd> or <kbd>get_resolution</kbd> in templates.
+ <kbd>display_value</kbd> should be used anywhere that a
+ <select>-type field has its values displayed.</li>
