+<h2 id="v42_introduction">Introduction</h2>
+
+<p>Welcome to [% terms.Bugzilla %] 4.2! It has been almost a year since we
+ released [% terms.Bugzilla %] 4.0 on February 2011, and this new major
+ release comes with several new features and improvements. This release
+ contains major improvements to search, support for SQLite, improved
+ WebServices, and lots of other enhancements.</p>
+
+<p>If you are upgrading from a release before 4.0, make sure to read the
+ release notes for all the <a href="#v42_previous">previous versions</a>
+ in between your version and this one, <strong>particularly the Upgrading
+ section of each version's release notes</strong>.</p>

+
+<p>If you are using Apache as your webserver, [% terms.Bugzilla %] can
+ take advantage of some Apache features if you have the below Apache
+ modules installed and enabled. Currently,
+ <a href="#v40_feat_js_css_update">certain [% terms.Bugzilla %] features</a>
+ are enabled only if you have all of the following modules installed
+ and enabled:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>mod_headers</li>
+ <li>mod_expires</li>
+ <li>mod_env</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>On most systems (but not on Windows), <kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd> is able to
+ tell whether or not you have these modules installed, and it will tell
+ you.</p>

+

+ <li><a href="#v42_feat_sqlite">Experimental SQLite Support</a></li>
+ <li><a href="#v42_feat_attach">Creating an Attachment by Pasting Text Into
+ a Text Field</a></li>
+ <li><a href="#v42_feat_email">HTML [% terms.Bug %]mail</a></li>

+ <li><a href="#v42_feat_other">Other Enhancements and Changes</a></li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3 id="v42_feat_sqlite">Experimental SQLite Support</h3>
+
+<p>SQLite is now supported by [% terms.Bugzilla %] and becomes the 4th supported
+ database besides MySQL, PostgreSQL and Oracle. SQLite support must be considered
+ as experimental, at least till the next major release.</p>
+
+<p>Note that use of SQLite is only recommended for small installations. Larger
+ installations should use MySQL, PostgreSQL, or Oracle.</p>
+
+<h3 id="v42_feat_attach">Creating an Attachment by Pasting Text Into a Text Field</h3>
+
+<p>You can now create a new attachment simply by pasting some text into a text
+ field, in addition to the normal upload process for attachments.</p>
+
+<h3 id="v42_feat_email">HTML [% terms.Bug %]mail</h3>
+
+<p>By default, [% terms.bug %]mails (email notifications about changes to
+ [%+ terms.bugs %]) are now sent in an HTML format that is more readable than
+ the old text format. Those who prefer the old text format can still choose it
+ in their Preferences, however.</p>
+
+<h3 id="v42_feat_search">Improved Searching System</h3>
+
+<p>The Custom Search section in the Advanced Search page has been redesigned
+ to work in a more sensible way. Complex queries are easier to build and have
+ more sensible results, as they are built using a more intuitive logic.
+ Some very complicated queries are still impossible to generate, though.
+ Things should improve in future releases.</p>
+
+<h3 id="v42_feat_product">Disabling Old Components, Versions and Milestones</h3>
+
+<p>Older components, versions and milestones can now be disabled. [% terms.Bugs %]
+ already using them are not affected, but these values will no longer be
+ available for new [% terms.bugs %].</p>
+
+<h3 id="v42_feat_custom">Displaying a Custom Field Value Based on Multiple Values
+ of Another Field</h3>
+
+<p>A custom field can now be displayed based on multiple values of another field.
+ (For example, one custom field could now appear in multiple products.)
+ Previously, you could only display a custom field based on a single value of
+ another field.</p>
+
+<h3 id="v42_feat_audit">Auditing of All Changes Within [% terms.Bugzilla %]</h3>
+
+<p>Most changes made through the admin interface are now logged to the database,
+ in the <kbd>audit_log</kbd> table. There is no UI to access this table yet,
+ but developers are free to create their own tools to track changes made into
+ their installation. This is only a first step, and improvements are expected
+ in future releases.</p>
+
+<h3 id="v42_feat_wai">Accessibility Improvements</h3>
+
+<p>A project has started thanks to Francisco Donalisio from IBM to make
+ [%+ terms.Bugzilla %] compliant with the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative
+ standards. A lot more work still needs to be done, but we expect a much
+ better compatibility for the next major release.</p>
+
+<h3 id="v42_feat_other">Other Enhancements and Changes</h3>
+
+<h4>Enhancements for Users</h4>
+
+<ul>
+ <li><strong>[% terms.Bugs %]:</strong> Users without editbugs privileges can
+ no longer remove other users from the CC list of [% terms.bugs %].</li>
+ <li><strong>[% terms.Bugs %]:</strong> Local [% terms.bug %] IDs are now valid
+ in the See Also field. Adding such an ID will also add a reciprocal link in
+ the other [% terms.bug %].</li>
+ <li><strong>[% terms.Bugs %]:</strong> After editing [% terms.abug %] or an
+ attachment, the URL is automatically changed to <kbd>show_bug.cgi</kbd>
+ instead of <kbd>post_bug.cgi</kbd>, <kbd>process_bug.cgi</kbd> or
+ <kbd>attachment.cgi</kbd> so that reloading the page (for instance when
+ restarting the web browser) displays the right page. This feature is supported
+ by Firefox, Chrome and Safari, but not by Internet Explorer 9.</li>
+ <li><strong>[% terms.Bugs %]:</strong> Inactive accounts are no longer
+ displayed in user fields when user-autocompletion is enabled.</li>
+ <li><strong>[% terms.Bugs %]:</strong> User-autocompletion is now much faster
+ on installations with many user accounts.</li>
+ <li><strong>[% terms.Bugs %]:</strong> The See Also field now accepts URLs
+ pointing to MantisBT, Trac, JIRA and the sourceforge.net b[%%]ug trackers.</li>
+ <li><strong>[% terms.Bugs %]:</strong> Displaying [% terms.abug %] with many
+ dependencies is now much faster.</li>
+ <li><strong>Attachments:</strong> The encoding of text files can be automatically
+ detected when uploading them as attachments.</li>
+ <li><strong>Flags:</strong> Changing the requestee of a flag no longer changes
+ the requester.</li>
+ <li><strong>Reports:</strong> If JavaScript is enabled in your web browser,
+ tabular reports are now sortable based on any displayed column.</li>
+ <li><strong>Dependency graphs:</strong> The <em>Show every [% terms.bug %] in
+ the system with dependencies</em> option has been removed.</li>
+ <li><strong>Searches:</strong> The columns displayed by default in
+ [%+ terms.bug %]lists have changed. These columns are now displayed by default
+ unless otherwise specified:<br>
+ <kbd>product | component | assignee | [% terms.bug %] status | resolution |
+ [%+ terms.bug %] summary | last change date</kbd><br>
+ This means that the priority, severity and operating system columns are no
+ longer displayed by default.</li>
+ <li><strong>Searches:</strong> [% terms.Bug %]lists will now only display the
+ first 500 [% terms.bugs %] by default. It is still possible to display the
+ whole list, though.</li>
+ <li><strong>Searches:</strong> When using relative dates and times, <kbd>-1w</kbd>
+ is now a synonym for <kbd>-7d</kbd> and means exactly 7 days. Previously,
+ <kbd>-1w</kbd> meant the beginning of the week, which was confusing some users.
+ The same confusion existed for <kbd>-1d</kbd> which was different from
+ <kbd>-24h</kbd>, and for <kbd>-1m</kbd> which was different from <kbd>-30d</kbd>.
+ Now if you really want the beginning of the day, week or month, you must use
+ <kbd>-1ds</kbd>, <kbd>-1ws</kbd>, and <kbd>-1ms</kbd> respectively, where
+ "s" means "start of". This change will affect existing saved searches using
+ relative dates.</li>
+ <li><strong>Searches:</strong> A new <em>Include fulltext when performing quick
+ searches</em> user preference has been added which permits users to include
+ or exclude comments when using quicksearches.</li>
+ <li><strong>Searches:</strong> It is now possible to query for [% terms.bugs %]
+ based on personal tags in the Custom Search section in the Advanced Search
+ page.</li>
+ <li><strong>Email notifications: </strong> The date and time of comments are no
+ longer displayed in the comment header in [% terms.bug%]mails. This information
+ is already available in the email header itself.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h4>Enhancements for Administrators and Developers</h4>
+
+<ul>
+ <li><strong>Installation:</strong> <kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd> is now much quieter
+ when creating a new database.</li>
+ <li><strong>Security:</strong> [% terms.Bugzilla %] 4.0 is using
+ <kbd>Math::Random::Secure</kbd> to generate cryptographically secure
+ pseudorandom numbers, but it appeared that installing this Perl module from
+ CPAN caused a lot of trouble for some people due to its numerous dependencies.
+ So the RNG code has been rewritten to only depend on <kbd>Math::Random::ISAAC</kbd>,
+ which was already in use in previous versions of [% terms.Bugzilla %].</li>
+ <li><strong>Security:</strong> <kbd>X-Frame-Options = SAMEORIGIN</kbd> is now
+ passed to all page headers (except when viewing attachments, as they can be
+ on a different host) to protect users from framing and subsequent possible
+ clickjacking problems.</li>
+ <li><strong>Configuration:</strong> A new parameter <em>password_complexity</em>
+ has been added (default: no_constraints) which allows admins to force users
+ to use passwords with a higher complexity, such as a combination of uppercase
+ and lowercase letters, numbers and special characters, or a subset of them.</li>
+ <li><strong>Configuration:</strong> A new parameter <em>search_allow_no_criteria</em>
+ has been added (default: on) which allows admins to forbid queries with no
+ criteria. This is particularly useful for large installations with several
+ tens of thousands [% terms.bugs %] where returning all [% terms.bugs %]
+ doesn't make sense and would have a performance impact on the database.</li>
+ <li><strong>Configuration:</strong> A new parameter <em>default_search_limit</em>
+ has been added (default: 500) which limits the number of [% terms.bugs %]
+ displayed by default in a [% terms.bug%]list. The user can ask to see a larger
+ list, though.</li>
+ <li><strong>Configuration:</strong> A new parameter <em>max_search_results</em>
+ has been added (default: 10000) which limits the number of [% terms.bugs %]
+ a user can request at once in a [% terms.bug%]list. This is a hard limit and
+ a user cannot bypass this value.</li>
+ <li><strong>Configuration:</strong> A new parameter <em>user_autocompletion</em>
+ has been added (default: on) to allow administrators to disable auto-completion
+ when typing characters in user fields. This parameter should only be disabled
+ if your installation is unable to support the load generated by this feature.</li>
+ <li><strong>Configuration:</strong> The <em>config_modify_panels</em> hook now
+ lets you add additional parameters to existing parameters panels.</li>
+ <li><strong>Flags:</strong> Users with local editcomponents privileges can now
+ edit flag types for products they can administer.</li>
+ <li><strong>Quips:</strong> A new system group <em>bz_quip_moderators</em> has
+ been created to moderate quips. Till now, you had to be in the <em>admin</em>
+ group to do that.</li>
+ <li><kbd>importxml.pl</kbd> now inserts each comment separately into the imported
+ [%+ terms.bug %] instead of concatenating them all into a single comment.</li>
+ <li><kbd>email_in.pl</kbd> now ignores auto-submitted incoming emails (for
+ instance, all these "out of office" emails).</li>
+ <li>New code hooks: email_in_before_parse, email_in_after_parse,
+ install_filesystem, install_update_db_fielddefs, job_map, object_end_of_create,
+ quicksearch_map, user_preferences.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h4>WebService Changes</h4>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>Two new methods have been added: <kbd>Product.create</kbd> and
+ <kbd>Group.create</kbd>.</li>
+ <li><kbd>B[%%]ug.update</kbd> no longer throws an error when passing an empty
+ string to <kbd>see_also</kbd>. It now simply ignores this empty value.</li>
+ <li><kbd>Product.get</kbd> now also returns data about the classification it
+ belongs to as well as its components, milestones and versions. It also
+ returns the <kbd>default_milestone</kbd> and <kbd>has_unconfirmed</kbd>
+ attributes.</li>
+ <li>In <kbd>B[%%]ug.fields</kbd>, the <kbd>sortkey</kbd> attribute used in
+ <kbd>values</kbd> has been renamed to <kbd>sort_key</kbd>.</li>
+ <li>In <kbd>B[%%]ug.attachments</kbd> and <kbd>B[%%]ug.add_attachment</kbd>,
+ the <kbd>is_url</kbd> attribute no longer exists.</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<h2 id="v42_issues">Outstanding Issues</h2>
+
+<ul>
+ <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
+ <em>chartgroup</em> parameter as the only access mechanism available.</li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=584742">
+ [%- terms.Bug %] 584742</a>: When viewing [% terms.abug %], WebKit-based
+ browsers can automatically reset a field's selected value when the field
+ has disabled values.</li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706753">
+ [%- terms.Bug %] 706753</a>: Automatic [% terms.bug %] detection and
+ user auto-completion do not work with JSON::RPC 1.x due to a backwards
+ incompatible change. You should install JSON::RPC 0.96 instead.</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<h2 id="v42_code_changes">Code Changes Which May Affect Customizations and Extensions</h2>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>The <kbd>email/newchangedmail.txt.tmpl</kbd> template is now fully templatized,
+ meaning that the diff table displaying changes in [% terms.bug %] fields is
+ now generated in the template itself. This means [% terms.bug %]mails are now
+ fully localizable.</li>
+ <li>The bugmail_recipients hook has been modified to pass <kbd>diffs</kbd> with
+ changes made to the [% terms.bug %] as well as <kbd>users</kbd> including
+ recipients of the email notification.</li>
+ <li>YUI has been upgraded to 2.9.0.</li>
+ <li>Due to the major code refactor of <kbd>B[%%]ugzilla/Search.pm</kbd>, any
+ customization made against this file will probably need to be rewritten.</li>
+ <li><kbd>long_list.cgi</kbd>, <kbd>showattachment.cgi</kbd> and <kbd>xml.cgi</kbd>
+ have been removed from the codebase. As <a href="#v40_code_changes">announced</a>
+ in the release notes of [% terms.Bugzilla %] 4.0, these scripts were deprecated
+ since [% terms.Bugzilla %] 2.19.</li>
+ <li><kbd>sidebar.cgi</kbd> has been removed, because Gecko-based browsers no
+ longer support remote XUL, and its popularity is very low.</li>
+ <li><kbd>contrib/yp_nomail.sh</kbd> has been removed. This script is no longer
+ useful since [% terms.Bugzilla %] 3.0.</li>
+ <li><kbd>contrib/bugzilla_ldapsync.rb</kbd> has been removed. This script didn't
+ work for a long time.</li>
+</ul>

-<h2 id="v36_introduction">Introduction</h2>
-
-<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>3.6.1</h3>
-
-<p>This release fixes two security issues. See the
- <a href="http://www.bugzilla.org/security/3.2.6/">Security Advisory</a>
- for details.</p>
-
-<p>In addition, the following important fixes/changes have been made in
- this release:</p>
-
-<ul>
- <li>Using the "Change Columns" page would sometimes result in a
- plain-text page instead of HTML.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=376044">[% terms.Bug %] 376044</a>)
- </li>

- field.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=561296">[% terms.Bug %] 561296</a>)
- </li>
- <li>If you had the <kbd>noresolveonopenblockers</kbd> parameter set,
- [%+ terms.bugs %] couldn't be edited at all if they were marked FIXED
- and had any open blockers. (The parameter is only supposed to prevent
- <em>changing</em> [% terms.bugs %] to FIXED, not modifying already-FIXED
- [%+ terms.bugs %].)
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=565314">[% terms.Bug %] 565314</a>)
- </li>
- <li>Some minor issues with Perl 5.12 were fixed (mostly warnings that Perl

-
-<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="v36_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>[% terms.Bug %] Editing:</b> The See Also field now supports
- URLs for Google Code Issues and the Debian B[% %]ug-Tracking System.</li>
- <li><b>[% terms.Bug %] Editing:</b> There have been significant performance
- improvements in <kbd>show_bug.cgi</kbd> (the script that displays the
- [% terms.bug %]-editing form), particularly for [% terms.bugs %] that
- have lots of comments or attachments.</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>Attachments</b>: For text attachments, we now let the browser
- auto-detect the character encoding, instead of forcing the browser to
- always assume the attachment is in UTF-8.</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><b>Installation:</b> If you install [% terms.Bugzilla %] using the
- tarball, the <kbd>CGI.pm</kbd> module from CPAN is now included in
- the <kbd>lib/</kbd> dir. If you would rather use the CGI.pm from your
- global Perl installation, you can delete <kbd>CGI.pm</kbd> and the
- <kbd>CGI</kbd> directory from the <kbd>lib/</kbd> directory.</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 <kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd>.</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>
- <li>In previous versions of [% terms.Bugzilla %], error messages were
- sent word-wrapped to the client, from the WebService. Error messages
- are now sent as one unbroken line.</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>
-
-<ul>
- <li>There is no longer a SendBugMail method in the templates, and bugmail
- is no longer sent by processing a template. Instead, it is sent
- by using <kbd>Bugzilla::BugMail::Send</kbd>.</li>
- <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>

-<h2 id="v34_point">Updates In This 3.4.x Release</h2>
-
-<h3>3.4.6</h3>
-
-<ul>
- <li>When doing a search that involves "not equals" or "does not contain the
- string" or similar "negative" search types, the search description that
- appears at the top of the resulting [% terms.bug %] list will indicate
- that the search was of that type.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474738">[% terms.Bug %] 474738</a>)
- </li>
- <li>In Internet Explorer, users couldn't easily mark a RESOLVED DUPLICATE
- [%+ terms.bug %] as REOPENED, due to a JavaScript error.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=546719">[% terms.Bug %] 546719</a>)
- </li>
- <li>If you use a "bookmarkable template" to pre-fill forms on
- the [% terms.bug %]-filing page, and you have custom fields
- that are only supposed to appear (or only supposed to have certain
- values) based on the values of other fields, those custom fields will
- now work properly.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=538211">[% terms.Bug %] 538211</a>)
- </li>
- <li>If you have a custom field that's only supposed to appear when
- a [% terms.bug %]'s resolution is FIXED, it will now behave properly
- on the [% terms.bug %]-editing form when a user sets the [% terms.bug %]'s
- status to RESOLVED.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=520993">[% terms.Bug %] 520993</a>)
- </li>
- <li>If you are logged-out and using <kbd>request.cgi</kbd>, the Requester
- and Requestee fields no longer respect the <kbd>usermatching</kbd>
- parameter--they always require full usernames.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=533018">[% terms.Bug %] 533018</a>)
- </li>
- <li>If you tried to do a search with too many terms (resulting in a URL
- that was longer than about 7000 characters), Apache would return a
- 500 error instead of your search results.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=513989">[% terms.Bug %] 513989</a>)
- </li>
- <li>[% terms.Bugzilla %] would sometimes lose fields from your sort order
- when you added new fields to your sort order.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=470214">[% terms.Bug %] 470214</a>)
- </li>
- <li>The Atom format of search results would sometimes be missing the
- Reporter or Assignee field for some [% terms.bugs %].
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=537834">[% terms.Bug %] 537834</a>)
- </li>

-
-<h3>3.4.5</h3>
-
-<p>This release contains fixes for multiple security issues. See the
- <a href="http://www.bugzilla.org/security/3.0.10/">Security Advisory</a>
- for details.</p>
-
-<p>In addition, the following important fixes/changes have been made in
- this release:</p>
-
-<ul>
- <li>Whining was failing if jobqueue.pl was enabled.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=530270">[% terms.Bug %] 530270</a>)
- </li>
- <li>The Assignee field was empty in Whine mails.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=511216">[% terms.Bug %] 511216</a>)
- </li>
- <li>Administrators can now successfully create user accounts using
- editusers.cgi when using the "Env" authentication method.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483987">[% terms.Bug %] 483987</a>)
- </li>
- <li>[% terms.Bug %]mail now uses the timezone of the recipient of the email,
- when displaying the time a comment was made, instead of the timezone of the
- person who made the change.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=534587">[% terms.Bug %] 534587</a>)
- </li>
- <li>"[% terms.bug %] 1234" in comments sometimes would not become a link if
- word-wrapping happened between "[% terms.bug %]" and the number.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=514703">[% terms.Bug %] 514703</a>)
- </li>
- <li>Running <kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd> on Windows will no longer pop up an error box
- about OCI.dll.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=480968">[% terms.Bug %] 480968</a>)
- </li>
-</ul>
-
-<h3>3.4.4</h3>
-
-<p>This release contains a fix for a security issue. See the
- <a href="http://www.bugzilla.org/security/3.4.3/">Security Advisory</a>
- for details.</p>
-
-<p>Additionally, this release fixes a few minor [% terms.bugs %].</p>
-
-<h3>3.4.3</h3>
-
-<ul>
- <li>[% terms.Bugzilla %] installations running under mod_perl were leaking
- about 512K of RAM per page load.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=517793">[% terms.Bug %] 517793</a>)
- </li>
- <li>Attachments with Unicode characters in their names were being downloaded
- with mangled names.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=328628">[% terms.Bug %] 328628</a>)
- </li>
- <li>Creating custom fields with Unicode in their database column name
- is now no longer allowed, as it would break [% terms.Bugzilla %]. If you
- created such a custom field, you should delete it by first marking it
- obsolete and then clicking "Delete" in the custom field list, using
- <a href="editfields.cgi">editfields.cgi</a>.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=525025">[% terms.Bug %] 525025</a>)
- </li>
- <li>Clicking "submit only my comment" on the "mid-air collisions" page
- was leading to a "Suspicious Action" warning.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=514378">[% terms.Bug %] 514378</a>)
- </li>
- <li>The XML format of [% terms.abug %] accidentally contained the
- word-wrapped content of comments instead of the unwrapped content.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=509152">[% terms.Bug %] 509152</a>)
- </li>
- <li>You can now do <kbd>./install-module.pl --shell</kbd> to get a CPAN
- shell using the configuration of
- <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/install-module.html">install-module.pl</a>,
- which allows you to do more advanced Perl module installation tasks.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=445875">[% terms.Bug %] 445875</a>)
- </li>
-</ul>
-
-<h3>3.4.2</h3>
-
-<p>This release contains fixes for multiple security issues, one of which
- is highly critical. See the
- <a href="http://www.bugzilla.org/security/3.0.8/">Security Advisory</a>
- for details.</p>
-
-<p>In addition, the following important fixes/changes have been made in
- this release:</p>
-
-<ul>
- <li>Upgrades from older releases were sometimes failing during UTF-8
- conversion with a foreign key error.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=508181">[% terms.Bug %] 508181</a>)
- </li>
- <li>Sorting [% terms.bug %] lists on certain fields would result in an error.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=510944">[% terms.Bug %] 510944</a>)
- </li>
- <li>[% terms.Bug %] update emails had two or three blank lines at the top
- and between the various sections of the email. There is now only one
- blank line in each of those places, making these emails more compact.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73330">[% terms.Bug %] 73330</a>)
- </li>
- <li>[% terms.Bug %] email notifications for new [% terms.bugs %] incorrectly
- had a line saying that the description was "Comment 0".
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=510798">[% terms.Bug %] 510798</a>)
- </li>
- <li>Running <kbd>./collectstats.pl --regenerate</kbd> is now much faster,
- on the order of 20x or 100x faster.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=286625">[% terms.Bug %] 286625</a>)
- </li>
- <li>For users of RHEL, CentOS, Fedora, etc. jobqueue.pl can now automatically
- be installed as a daemon by running <kbd>./jobqueue.pl install</kbd>
- as root.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=475403">[% terms.Bug %] 475403</a>)
- </li>
- <li>XML-RPC interface responses had an incorrect Content-Length header
- and would sometimes be truncated, if they contained certain UTF-8
- characters.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=486306">[% terms.Bug %] 486306</a>)
- </li>
- <li>Users who didn't have access to the time-tracking fields would get an
- empty [% terms.bug %] update email when the time-tracking fields were
- changed.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=509035">[% terms.Bug %] 509035</a>)
- </li>
- <li>In the New Charts, non-public series now no longer show up as selectable
- if you cannot access them.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=389396">[% terms.Bug %] 389396</a>)

- <li><a href="#v34_feat_other">Other Enhancements and Changes</a></li>
-</ul>
-
-<h3 id="v34_feat_enter">Simple [% terms.Bug %] Filing</h3>
-
-<p>When entering a new [% terms.bug %], the vast majority of fields are
- now hidden by default, which enormously simplifies the bug-filing form.
- You can click "Show Advanced Fields" to show all the fields, if you want
- them. [%+ terms.Bugzilla %] remembers whether you last used the "Advanced"
- or "Simple" version of the [% terms.bug %]-entry form, and will display the
- same version to you again next time you file [% terms.abug %].</p>
-
-<h3 id="v34_feat_index">New Home Page</h3>
-
-<p>[% terms.Bugzilla %]'s front page has been redesigned to be better at
- guiding new users into the activities that they most commonly want to
- do. Further enhancements to the home page are coming in future versions
- of [% terms.Bugzilla %].</p>
-
-<h3 id="v34_feat_spam">Email Addresses Hidden From Logged-Out Users</h3>
-
-<p>To help prevent spam to [% terms.Bugzilla %] users, all email addresses
- stored in [% terms.Bugzilla %] are now displayed only if you are logged in.
- If you are logged out, only the part before the "@" of the email address is
- displayed. This includes [% terms.bug %] lists, viewing [% terms.bugs %], the
- XML format of [% terms.abug %], and any other place in the web interface that
- an email address could appear.</p>
-
-<p>Email addresses are not filtered out of [% terms.bug %] comments.
- The WebService still returns full email addresses, even if you are logged
- out.</p>
-
-<h3 id="v34_feat_urls">Shorter Search URLs</h3>
-
-<p>When submitting a search, all the unused fields are now stripped from
- the URL, so search URLs are much more meaningful, and much shorter.</p>
-
-<h3 id="v34_feat_async">Asynchronous Email Sending</h3>
-
-<p>The largest performance problem in former versions of [% terms.Bugzilla %]
- was that when updating [% terms.bugs %], email would be sent immediately
- to every user who needed to be notified, and <kbd>process_bug.cgi</kbd>
- would wait for the emails to be sent before continuing.</p>
-
-<p>Now [% terms.Bugzilla %] is capable of queueing emails to be sent
- while [% terms.abug %] is being updated, and sending them in the
- background. This requires the administrator to run a daemon
- that comes with [% terms.Bugzilla %], named
- <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/jobqueue.html">jobqueue.pl</a>,
- and to enable the <a href="editparams.cgi?section=mta#use_mailer_queue">
- use_mailer_queue</a> parameter.</p>
-
-<p>Using the background email-sending daemon instead of sending mail directly
- should result in a very large speed-up for updating [% terms.bugs %],
- particularly on larger installations.</p>
-
-<h3 id="v34_feat_tz">Dates and Times Displayed In User's Time Zone</h3>
-
-<p>Users can now select what time zone they are in and [% terms.Bugzilla %]
- will adjust displayed times to be correct for their time zone. However,
- times the user inputs are unfortunately still in [% terms.Bugzilla %]'s
- time zone.</p>
-
-<h3 id="v34_feat_vis">Custom Fields That Only Appear When Another Field
- Has a Particular Value</h3>
-
-<p>When creating a new custom field (or updating the definition of
- an existing custom field), you can now say that "this field only
- appears when field X has value Y". (In the future, you will be able
- to select multiple values for "Y", so a field will appear when any
- one of those values is selected.)</p>
-
-<p>This feature only hides fields--it doesn't make their values go away.
- So [% terms.bugs %] will still show up in searches for that field's
- value, but the field won't appear in the user interface.</p>
-
-<p>This is a good way of making Product-specific fields.</p>
-
-<h3 id="v34_feat_vals">Custom Fields Whose List of Values Change
- Depending on the Value of Another Field</h3>
-
-<p>When creating a drop-down or multiple-selection custom field, you can
- now specify that another field "controls the values" of this field.
- Then, when adding values to this field, you can say that a particular
- value only appears when the other field is set to a particular
- value.</p>
-
-<p>Here's an example: Let's say that we create a field called "Colors",
- and we make the Product field "control the values" for Colors. Then we
- add Blue, Red, Black, and Yellow as legal values for the "Colors" field.
- Now we can say that "Blue" and "Red" only appear as valid choices in
- Product A, "Yellow" only appears in Product B, but "Black" <em>always</em>
- appears.</p>
-
-<p>One thing to note is that this feature only controls what values appear in
- the <em>user interface</em>. [% terms.Bugzilla %] itself will still accept
- any combination of values as valid, in the backend.</p>
-
-<h3 id="v34_feat_bugid">New Custom Field Type: [% terms.Bug %] ID</h3>
-
-<p>You can now create a custom field that holds a reference to a single
- valid [% terms.bug %] ID. In the future this will be enhanced to allow
- [%+ terms.bugs %] to refer to each other via this field.</p>
-
-<h3 id="v34_feat_see">"See Also" Field</h3>
-
-<p>We have added a new standard field called "See Also" to
- [%+ terms.Bugzilla %]. In this field, you can put URLs to multiple
- [%+ terms.bugs %] in any [% terms.Bugzilla %] installation, to indicate
- that those [% terms.bugs %] are related to this one. It also supports
- adding URLs to [% terms.bugs %] in
- <a href="http://launchpad.net/">Launchpad</a>.</p>
-
-<p>Right now, the field just validates the URLs and then displays them, but
- in the future, it will grab information from the other installation about
- the [% terms.bug %] and display it here, and possibly even update the
- other installation.</p>
-
-<p>If your installation does not need this field, you can hide it by disabling
- the <a href="editparams.cgi?section=bugfields#use_see_also">use_see_also
- parameter</a>.</p>
-
-<h3 id="v34_feat_cols">Re-order Columns in Search Results</h3>
-
-<p>There is a new interface for choosing what columns appear in search
- results, which allows you to change the order in which columns appear
- from left to right when viewing the [% terms.bug %] list.</p>
-
-<h3 id="v34_feat_desc">Search Descriptions</h3>
-
-<p>When displaying search results, [% terms.Bugzilla %] will now show
- a brief description of what you searched for, at the top of the
- [%+ terms.bug %] list.</p>
-
-<h3 id="v34_feat_other">Other Enhancements and Changes</h3>
-
-<h4>Enhancements for Users</h4>
-
-<ul>
- <li>You can now log in from every page, using the login form that appears
- in the header or footer when you click "Log In".</li>
- <li>When viewing [% terms.abug %], obsolete attachments are now
- hidden from the attachment list by default. You can show them
- by clicking "Show Obsolete" at the bottom of the attachment list.</li>
- <li>In the Email Preferences, you can now choose to get email when
- a new [% terms.bug %] report is filed and you have a particular
- role on it.</li>
- <li>When resolving a mid-air collision, you can now choose to submit
- only your comment.</li>
- <li>You can now set the Blocks and Depends On field on the "Change
- Several [% terms.Bugs %] At Once" page.</li>
- <li>If your installation uses the "insidergroup" feature, you can now add
- private comments on the "Change Several [% terms.Bugs %] At Once"
- page.</li>
- <li>When viewing a search result, you can now hover over any abbreviated
- field to see its full value.</li>
- <li>When logging out, users are now redirected to the main page of
- [%+ terms.Bugzilla %] instead of an empty page.</li>
- <li>When editing [% terms.abug %], text fields (except the comment box) now
- grow longer when you widen your browser window.</li>
- <li>When viewing [% terms.abug %], the Depends On and Blocks list will
- display [% terms.abug %]'s alias if it has one, instead of its id.
- Also, closed [% terms.bugs %] will be sorted to the end of the list.</li>
-
- <li>If you use the time-tracking features of [% terms.Bugzilla %], and
- you enable the time-tracking related columns in a search result,
- then you will see a summary of the time-tracking data at the
- bottom of the search result.</li>
- <li>For users of time-tracking, the <kbd>summarize_time.cgi</kbd> page
- now contains more data.</li>
-
- <li>When viewing an attachment's details page while you are logged-out,
- flags are no longer shown as editable.</li>
- <li>Cloning [% terms.abug %] will now retain the "Blocks" and "Depends On"
- fields from the [% terms.bug %] being cloned.</li>
- <li>[% terms.Bug %]mail for new [% terms.bugs %] will now indicate
- what security groups the [% terms.bug %] has been restricted to.</li>
- <li>You can now use any custom drop-down field as an axis for a tabular
- or graphical report.</li>
- <li>The <kbd>X-Bugzilla-Type</kbd> header in emails sent by
- [%+ terms.Bugzilla %] is now "new" for [% terms.bug %]mail sent for
- newly-filed [% terms.bugs %], and "changed" for emails having to do
- with updated [% terms.bugs %].</li>
- <li>Mails sent by the "Whining" system now contain the header
- <kbd>X-Bugzilla-Type: whine</kbd>.</li>
- <li>[% terms.bug %]mail now contains a X-Bugzilla-URL header to uniquely
- identify which [% terms.Bugzilla %] installation the email came from.</li>
- <li>If you input an invalid regular expression anywhere in
- [%+ terms.Bugzilla %], it will now tell you explicitly instead of failing
- cryptically.</li>
- <li>The <kbd>duplicates.xul</kbd> page (which wasn't used by very many
- people) is now gone.</li>
-</ul>
-
-<h4>Enhancements for Administrators and Developers</h4>
-
-<ul>
- <li>[% terms.Bugzilla %] now uses the SHA-256 algorithm (a variant of
- SHA-2) to encrypt passwords in the database, instead of using Unix's
- "crypt" function. This allows passwords longer than eight characters
- to actually be effective. Each user's password will be converted to
- SHA-256 the first time they log in after you upgrade to
- [%+ terms.Bugzilla %] 3.4 or later.</li>
- <li>If you are using database replication with [% terms.Bugzilla %],
- many more scripts now take advantage of the read-only slave (the
- "shadowdb"). It may be safe to open up <kbd>show_bug.cgi</kbd>
- to search-engine indexing by editing your <kbd>robots.txt</kbd> file,
- now, if your [% terms.Bugzilla %] is on fast-enough hardware.</li>
- <li>The database now uses foreign keys to enforce the validity of
- relationships between tables. Not every single table has all its
- foreign keys yet, but most do.</li>
- <li>Various parameters have been removed, in an effort to de-clutter
- the parameter interface and simplify [% terms.Bugzilla %]'s code.
- The parameters that were removed were: timezone, supportwatchers,
- maxpatchsize, commentonclearresolution, commentonreassignbycomponent,
- showallproducts. They have all been replaced with sensible default
- behaviors. (For example, user watching is now always enabled.)</li>
- <li>When adding <code>&debug=1</code> to the end of a
- <kbd>buglist.cgi</kbd> URL, [% terms.Bugzilla %] will now also do an
- EXPLAIN on the query, to help debug performance issues.</li>
- <li>When editing flag types in the administrative interface, you can now
- see how many flags of each type have been set.</li>
-</ul>
-
-<h4>WebService Changes</h4>
-
-<ul>
- <li>Various functions have been added to the WebService:
- <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/Bugzilla/WebService/Bug.html#history">B[% %]ug.history</a>,
- <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/Bugzilla/WebService/Bug.html#search">B[% %]ug.search</a>,
- <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/Bugzilla/WebService/Bug.html#comments">B[% %]ug.comments</a>,
- <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/Bugzilla/WebService/Bug.html#update_see_also">B[% %]ug.update_see_also</a>,
- <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/Bugzilla/WebService/User.html#get">User.get</a>,
- and <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/Bugzilla/WebService/Bugzilla.html#time">B[% %]ugzilla.time</a>
- (<kbd>B[% %]ugzilla.timezone</kbd> is now deprecated).
- </li>
- <li>For network efficiency, you can now limit which fields are returned
- from certain WebService functions, like <kbd>User.get</kbd>.</li>
- <li>There is now a "permissive" argument for the <kbd>B[% %]ug.get</kbd>
- WebService function, which causes it not to throw an error when you
- ask for [% terms.bugs %] you can't see.</li>
-
- <li>The <kbd>B[% %]ug.get</kbd> method now returns many more fields.</li>
- <li>The <kbd>B[% %]ug.add_comment</kbd> method now returns the ID of the comment
- that was just added.</li>
- <li>The <kbd>B[% %]ug.add_comment</kbd> method will now throw an error if you
- try to add a private comment but do not have the correct permissions.
- (In previous versions, it would just silently ignore the <kbd>private</kbd>
- argument if you didn't have the correct permissions.)</li>
- <li>Many WebService function parameters now take individual values in
- addition to arrays.</li>
- <li>The WebService now validates input types--it makes sure that dates
- are in the right format, that ints are actually ints, etc. It will throw
- an error if you send it invalid data. It also accepts empty ints, doubles,
- and dateTimes, and translates them to <kbd>undef</kbd>.</li>
-</ul>
-
-<h2 id="v34_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>

- not show up properly in search results.</li>

-</ul>
-
-<h2 id="v34_upgrading">Notes On Upgrading From a Previous Version</h2>
-
-<p>When upgrading to 3.4, <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="v34_code_changes">Code Changes Which May Affect Customizations</h2>
-
-<ul>
- <li><kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd> now re-writes the <kbd>localconfig</kbd>
- file every time it runs, keeping the current values set (if there
- are any), but moving any unexpected variables into a file called
- <kbd>localconfig.old</kbd>. If you want to continue having custom
- varibles in <kbd>localconfig</kbd>, you will have to add them to
- the <code>LOCALCONFIG_VARS</code> constant in
- <kbd>Bugzilla::Install::Localconfig</kbd>.</li>
- <li><kbd>Bugzilla::Object->update()</kbd> now returns something different
- in list context than it does in scalar context.</li>
- <li><kbd>Bugzilla::Object->check()</kbd> now can take object
- ids in addition to names. Just pass in <code>{ id => $some_value
- }</code>.</li>
- <li>Instead of being defined in <kbd>buglist.cgi</kbd>, columns for
- search results are now defined in a subroutine called <code>COLUMNS</code>
- in <kbd>Bugzilla::Search</kbd>. The data now mostly comes from the
- <kbd>fielddefs</kbd> table in the database. Search.pm now takes a list
- of column names from fielddefs for its <kbd>fields</kbd> argument instead
- of literal SQL columns.</li>
- <li><kbd>Bugzilla::Field->legal_values</kbd> now returns an array of
- <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/Bugzilla/Field/Choice.html">Bugzilla::Field::Choice</a>
- objects instead of an array of strings. Bugzilla::Field::Choice will be used
- in more places, in the future.</li>
- <li>We now use <kbd>Bugzilla::Bug->check()</kbd> instead of
- <kbd>ValidateBugId</kbd>.</li>
- <li>The <kbd>groups</kbd> and <kbd>bless_groups</kbd> methods in
- <kbd>Bugzilla::User</kbd> now return an arrayref of
- <kbd>Bugzilla::Group</kbd> objects instead of a hashref with
- group ids and group names.</li>
- <li>Standard [% terms.Bugzilla %] drop-down fields now have their type
- set to <kbd>FIELD_TYPE_SINGLE_SELECT</kbd> in the fielddefs table.</li>
- <li><kbd>Bugzilla->usage_mode</kbd> now defaults to
- <kbd>USAGE_MODE_CMDLINE</kbd> if we are not running inside a web
- server.</li>
- <li>We no longer delete environment variables like <kbd>$ENV{PATH}</kbd>
- automatically unless we're actually running in taint mode.</li>
- <li>We are now using YUI 2.6.0.</li>
- <li>In <a href="config.cgi?ctype=rdf">the RDF format of config.cgi</a>,
- the "resource" attribute for flags now contains "flag.cgi" instead
- of "flags.cgi".</li>

-<h2 id="v32_introduction">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 id="v32_point">Updates in this 3.2.x Release</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>3.2.3</h3>
-
-<ul>
- <li>[% terms.Bugzilla %] is now compatible with MySQL 5.1.x versions 5.1.31
- and greater.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=480001">[% terms.Bug %] 480001</a>)</li>
- <li>On Windows, [% terms.Bugzilla %] sometimes would send mangled emails
- (that would often fail to send).
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=467920">[% terms.Bug %] 467920</a>)</li>
- <li><code>recode.pl</code> would sometimes crash when trying to convert
- databases from older versions of [% terms.Bugzilla %].
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=431201">[% terms.Bug %] 431201</a>)</li>
- <li>Running a saved search with Unicode characters in its name would
- cause [% terms.Bugzilla %] to crash.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=477513">[% terms.Bug %] 477513</a>)</li>
- <li>[% terms.Bugzilla %] clients like Mylyn can now update [% terms.bugs %]
- again (the [% terms.bug %] XML format now contains a "token" element that
- can be used when updating [% terms.abug %]).
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=476678">[% terms.Bug %] 476678</a>)</li>
- <li>For installations using the <code>shadowdb</code> parameter,
- [%+ terms.Bugzilla %] was accidentally writing to the "tokens" table
- in the shadow database (instead of the master database) when using the
- "Change Several [% terms.Bugs %] at Once" page.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=476943">[% terms.Bug %] 476943</a>)</li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>This release also contains a security fix. See the
- <a href="#v32_security">Security Fixes Section</a> for details.</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.
- <kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd> 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>

- <li><a href="#v32_feat_ui">Major UI Improvements</a></li>
- <li><a href="#v32_feat_skin">New Default Skin: Dusk</a></li>

- <li><a href="#v32_feat_grcons">Group Icons</a></li>
- <li><a href="#v32_feat_other">Other Enhancements and Changes</a></li>
-</ul>
-
-<h3 id="v32_feat_ui">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 id="v32_feat_skin">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 id="v32_feat_status">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 id="v32_feat_fields">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 id="v32_feat_install">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 id="v32_feat_oracle">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 id="v32_feat_utf8">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 id="v32_feat_grcons">Group Icons</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 id="v32_feat_other">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>
- <li>The documentation can now be localized--in other words, you can have
- documentation installed for multiple languages at once and

-<h3 id="v32_upgrading_notes">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>

-
-<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 id="v30_point">Updates in this 3.0.x Release</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>

-
-<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>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>,

-
- <li>Comments written in CJK languages are now correctly word-wrapped.

-</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 [% terms.abug %].
- (<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 [% terms.abug %] 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

-</ul>
-
-<h3 id="v30_feat_cf">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 id="v30_feat_mp">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 id="v30_feat_sq">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 id="v30_feat_afn">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 id="v30_feat_cr">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 id="v30_feat_ppp">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 id="v30_feat_ui">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 id="v30_feat_xml">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 id="v30_feat_skin">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 id="v30_feat_sbu">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 id="v30_feat_et">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 id="v30_feat_df">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 id="v30_feat_cc">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 id="v30_feat_emi">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 id="v30_feat_gw">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 [% terms.abug %]
- still won't get notifications about that [% terms.bug %].</p>
-
-<h3 id="v30_feat_utf8">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 id="v30_feat_upda">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 id="v30_feat_welc">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 id="v30_feat_qs">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 id="v30_feat_other">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 [% terms.abug %] 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 [% terms.abug %] 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 id="v30_issues">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 id="v30_security">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>

- 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>
-
-<h3>3.0.3</h3>
-
-<p>No security fixes in this release.</p>
-
-<h3>3.0.2</h3>

-<h2 id="v30_upgrading">How to Upgrade From An Older Version</h2>
-
-<h3 id="v30_upgrading_notes">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 <kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd>.</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>

-<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 id="v30_code_hooks">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 b<!-- -->ug</a>!</p>
-
-<h3 id="v30_code_api">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 id="v30_code_globals">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 id="v30_code_scope">Cleaned Up Variable Scoping Issues</h3>
-
-<p>In normal perl, you can have code like this:</p>
-<pre>my $var = 0;
-sub y { $var++ }</pre>
-
-<p>However, under mod_perl that doesn't work. So variables are no
- longer "shared" with subroutines--instead all variables
- that a subroutine needs must be declared inside the subroutine itself.</p>
-
-<h3 id="v30_code_sql">No More SendSQL</h3>
-
-<p>The old <kbd>SendSQL</kbd> function and all of its companions are
- <strong>gone</strong>. Instead, we now use DBI for all database
- interaction.</p>
-
-<p>For more information about how to use
- <a href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?DBI">DBI</a> with
- [%+ terms.Bugzilla %], see the
- <a href="http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/developer.html#sql-sendreceive">Developer's
- Guide Section About DBI</a></p>
-
-<h3 id="v30_code_auth">Auth Re-write</h3>
-
-<p>The <kbd>Bugzilla::Auth</kbd> family of modules have been completely
- re-written. For details on how the new structure of authentication,
- read the
- <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/Bugzilla/Auth.html">Bugzilla::Auth
- API docs</a>.</p>
-
-<p>It should be very easy to write new authentication plugins, now.</p>
-
-<h3 id="v30_code_obj">Bugzilla::Object</h3>
-
-<p>There is a new base class for most of our objects,
- <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/Bugzilla/Object.html">Bugzilla::Object</a>.
- It makes it really easy to create new objects based on things that are
- in the database.</p>
-
-<h3 id="v30_code_req">Bugzilla->request-cache</h3>
-
-<p><kbd>Bugzilla.pm</kbd> used to cache things like the database
- connection in package-global variables (like <kbd>$_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 id="v30_code_other">Other Changes</h3>
-
-<ul>
- <li><kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd> 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 [% terms.abug %] 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>

+
+<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>
+

+ <li>Putting a phrase in quotes in the Quicksearch box now works properly,
+ again.
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=578494">[% terms.Bug %] 578494</a>
+ and <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=553884">[% terms.Bug %] 553884</a>)
+ </li>
+ <li>Quicksearch was usually (incorrectly) being limited to 200 results.

+ </li>
+ <li>The "Field Values" administrative control panel was sometimes denying
+ admins the ability to delete field values when there was no reason
+ to deny the deletion.
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=577054">[% terms.Bug %] 577054</a>)
+ </li>
+ <li>Eliminate the "uninitialized value" warnings that would happen when
+ editing a product's components.
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=576911">[% terms.Bug %] 576911</a>)
+ </li>
+ <li>The updating of bugs_fulltext that happens during
+ <kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd> for upgrades to 3.6 should now be MUCH faster.
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=577754">[% terms.Bug %] 577754</a>)
+ </li>
+ <li><kbd>email_in.pl</kbd> was not allowing the setting of time-tracking

+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=583622">[% terms.Bug %] 583622</a>)
+ </li>

+
+<h3>3.6.1</h3>
+
+<p>This release fixes two security issues. See the
+ <a href="http://www.bugzilla.org/security/3.2.6/">Security Advisory</a>
+ for details.</p>
+
+<p>In addition, the following important fixes/changes have been made in
+ this release:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>Using the "Change Columns" page would sometimes result in a
+ plain-text page instead of HTML.
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=376044">[% terms.Bug %] 376044</a>)
+ </li>
+ <li>Extensions that have only templates and no code are now working.
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562551">[% terms.Bug %] 562551</a>)
+ </li>
+ <li><kbd>install-module.pl</kbd> has been fixed so that it installs
+ modules properly on both new and old versions of Perl.
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=560318">[% terms.Bug %] 560318</a>
+ and <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=560330">[% terms.Bug %] 560330</a>)
+ </li>
+ <li>It is now possible to upgrade from 3.4 to 3.6 when using Oracle.
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=561379">[% terms.Bug %] 561379</a>)
+ </li>
+ <li>Editing a field value's name (using the Field Values admin control
+ panel) wasn't working if the value was set as the default for that
+ field.
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=561296">[% terms.Bug %] 561296</a>)
+ </li>
+ <li>If you had the <kbd>noresolveonopenblockers</kbd> parameter set,
+ [%+ terms.bugs %] couldn't be edited at all if they were marked FIXED
+ and had any open blockers. (The parameter is only supposed to prevent
+ <em>changing</em> [% terms.bugs %] to FIXED, not modifying already-FIXED
+ [%+ terms.bugs %].)
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=565314">[% terms.Bug %] 565314</a>)
+ </li>
+ <li>Some minor issues with Perl 5.12 were fixed (mostly warnings that Perl
+ 5.12 was throwing). [% terms.Bugzilla %] now supports Perl 5.12.</li>
+</ul>

+
+<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="v36_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>[% terms.Bug %] Editing:</b> The See Also field now supports
+ URLs for Google Code Issues and the Debian B[% %]ug-Tracking System.</li>
+ <li><b>[% terms.Bug %] Editing:</b> There have been significant performance
+ improvements in <kbd>show_bug.cgi</kbd> (the script that displays the
+ [% terms.bug %]-editing form), particularly for [% terms.bugs %] that
+ have lots of comments or attachments.</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>Attachments</b>: For text attachments, we now let the browser
+ auto-detect the character encoding, instead of forcing the browser to
+ always assume the attachment is in UTF-8.</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><b>Installation:</b> If you install [% terms.Bugzilla %] using the
+ tarball, the <kbd>CGI.pm</kbd> module from CPAN is now included in
+ the <kbd>lib/</kbd> dir. If you would rather use the CGI.pm from your
+ global Perl installation, you can delete <kbd>CGI.pm</kbd> and the
+ <kbd>CGI</kbd> directory from the <kbd>lib/</kbd> directory.</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 <kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd>.</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>
+ <li>In previous versions of [% terms.Bugzilla %], error messages were
+ sent word-wrapped to the client, from the WebService. Error messages
+ are now sent as one unbroken line.</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>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>There is no longer a SendBugMail method in the templates, and bugmail
+ is no longer sent by processing a template. Instead, it is sent
+ by using <kbd>Bugzilla::BugMail::Send</kbd>.</li>
+ <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>

+
+<h2 id="v34_point">Updates In This 3.4.x Release</h2>
+
+<h3>3.4.6</h3>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>When doing a search that involves "not equals" or "does not contain the
+ string" or similar "negative" search types, the search description that
+ appears at the top of the resulting [% terms.bug %] list will indicate
+ that the search was of that type.
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474738">[% terms.Bug %] 474738</a>)
+ </li>
+ <li>In Internet Explorer, users couldn't easily mark a RESOLVED DUPLICATE
+ [%+ terms.bug %] as REOPENED, due to a JavaScript error.
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=546719">[% terms.Bug %] 546719</a>)
+ </li>
+ <li>If you use a "bookmarkable template" to pre-fill forms on
+ the [% terms.bug %]-filing page, and you have custom fields
+ that are only supposed to appear (or only supposed to have certain
+ values) based on the values of other fields, those custom fields will
+ now work properly.
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=538211">[% terms.Bug %] 538211</a>)
+ </li>
+ <li>If you have a custom field that's only supposed to appear when
+ a [% terms.bug %]'s resolution is FIXED, it will now behave properly

+
+<ul>
+ <li>Whining was failing if jobqueue.pl was enabled.
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=530270">[% terms.Bug %] 530270</a>)

+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483987">[% terms.Bug %] 483987</a>)
+ </li>
+ <li>[% terms.Bug %]mail now uses the timezone of the recipient of the email,
+ when displaying the time a comment was made, instead of the timezone of the
+ person who made the change.
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=534587">[% terms.Bug %] 534587</a>)
+ </li>
+ <li>"[% terms.bug %] 1234" in comments sometimes would not become a link if

+<h3>3.4.4</h3>
+
+<p>This release contains a fix for a security issue. See the
+ <a href="http://www.bugzilla.org/security/3.4.3/">Security Advisory</a>
+ for details.</p>
+
+<p>Additionally, this release fixes a few minor [% terms.bugs %].</p>
+
+<h3>3.4.3</h3>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>[% terms.Bugzilla %] installations running under mod_perl were leaking
+ about 512K of RAM per page load.
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=517793">[% terms.Bug %] 517793</a>)
+ </li>
+ <li>Attachments with Unicode characters in their names were being downloaded
+ with mangled names.
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=328628">[% terms.Bug %] 328628</a>)
+ </li>
+ <li>Creating custom fields with Unicode in their database column name
+ is now no longer allowed, as it would break [% terms.Bugzilla %]. If you
+ created such a custom field, you should delete it by first marking it
+ obsolete and then clicking "Delete" in the custom field list, using
+ <a href="editfields.cgi">editfields.cgi</a>.
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=525025">[% terms.Bug %] 525025</a>)
+ </li>
+ <li>Clicking "submit only my comment" on the "mid-air collisions" page
+ was leading to a "Suspicious Action" warning.
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=514378">[% terms.Bug %] 514378</a>)
+ </li>
+ <li>The XML format of [% terms.abug %] accidentally contained the
+ word-wrapped content of comments instead of the unwrapped content.
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=509152">[% terms.Bug %] 509152</a>)
+ </li>
+ <li>You can now do <kbd>./install-module.pl --shell</kbd> to get a CPAN
+ shell using the configuration of
+ <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/install-module.html">install-module.pl</a>,
+ which allows you to do more advanced Perl module installation tasks.
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=445875">[% terms.Bug %] 445875</a>)
+ </li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>3.4.2</h3>
+
+<p>This release contains fixes for multiple security issues, one of which
+ is highly critical. See the
+ <a href="http://www.bugzilla.org/security/3.0.8/">Security Advisory</a>
+ for details.</p>
+
+<p>In addition, the following important fixes/changes have been made in
+ this release:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>Upgrades from older releases were sometimes failing during UTF-8
+ conversion with a foreign key error.
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=508181">[% terms.Bug %] 508181</a>)
+ </li>
+ <li>Sorting [% terms.bug %] lists on certain fields would result in an error.
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=510944">[% terms.Bug %] 510944</a>)
+ </li>
+ <li>[% terms.Bug %] update emails had two or three blank lines at the top
+ and between the various sections of the email. There is now only one
+ blank line in each of those places, making these emails more compact.
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73330">[% terms.Bug %] 73330</a>)
+ </li>
+ <li>[% terms.Bug %] email notifications for new [% terms.bugs %] incorrectly
+ had a line saying that the description was "Comment 0".
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=510798">[% terms.Bug %] 510798</a>)
+ </li>
+ <li>Running <kbd>./collectstats.pl --regenerate</kbd> is now much faster,
+ on the order of 20x or 100x faster.
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=286625">[% terms.Bug %] 286625</a>)
+ </li>
+ <li>For users of RHEL, CentOS, Fedora, etc. jobqueue.pl can now automatically
+ be installed as a daemon by running <kbd>./jobqueue.pl install</kbd>
+ as root.
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=475403">[% terms.Bug %] 475403</a>)
+ </li>
+ <li>XML-RPC interface responses had an incorrect Content-Length header
+ and would sometimes be truncated, if they contained certain UTF-8
+ characters.
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=486306">[% terms.Bug %] 486306</a>)
+ </li>
+ <li>Users who didn't have access to the time-tracking fields would get an
+ empty [% terms.bug %] update email when the time-tracking fields were
+ changed.
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=509035">[% terms.Bug %] 509035</a>)
+ </li>
+ <li>In the New Charts, non-public series now no longer show up as selectable
+ if you cannot access them.
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=389396">[% terms.Bug %] 389396</a>)

+ <li><a href="#v34_feat_other">Other Enhancements and Changes</a></li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3 id="v34_feat_enter">Simple [% terms.Bug %] Filing</h3>
+
+<p>When entering a new [% terms.bug %], the vast majority of fields are
+ now hidden by default, which enormously simplifies the bug-filing form.
+ You can click "Show Advanced Fields" to show all the fields, if you want
+ them. [%+ terms.Bugzilla %] remembers whether you last used the "Advanced"
+ or "Simple" version of the [% terms.bug %]-entry form, and will display the
+ same version to you again next time you file [% terms.abug %].</p>
+
+<h3 id="v34_feat_index">New Home Page</h3>
+
+<p>[% terms.Bugzilla %]'s front page has been redesigned to be better at
+ guiding new users into the activities that they most commonly want to
+ do. Further enhancements to the home page are coming in future versions
+ of [% terms.Bugzilla %].</p>
+
+<h3 id="v34_feat_spam">Email Addresses Hidden From Logged-Out Users</h3>
+
+<p>To help prevent spam to [% terms.Bugzilla %] users, all email addresses
+ stored in [% terms.Bugzilla %] are now displayed only if you are logged in.
+ If you are logged out, only the part before the "@" of the email address is
+ displayed. This includes [% terms.bug %] lists, viewing [% terms.bugs %], the
+ XML format of [% terms.abug %], and any other place in the web interface that
+ an email address could appear.</p>
+
+<p>Email addresses are not filtered out of [% terms.bug %] comments.
+ The WebService still returns full email addresses, even if you are logged
+ out.</p>
+
+<h3 id="v34_feat_urls">Shorter Search URLs</h3>
+
+<p>When submitting a search, all the unused fields are now stripped from
+ the URL, so search URLs are much more meaningful, and much shorter.</p>
+
+<h3 id="v34_feat_async">Asynchronous Email Sending</h3>
+
+<p>The largest performance problem in former versions of [% terms.Bugzilla %]
+ was that when updating [% terms.bugs %], email would be sent immediately
+ to every user who needed to be notified, and <kbd>process_bug.cgi</kbd>
+ would wait for the emails to be sent before continuing.</p>
+
+<p>Now [% terms.Bugzilla %] is capable of queueing emails to be sent
+ while [% terms.abug %] is being updated, and sending them in the
+ background. This requires the administrator to run a daemon
+ that comes with [% terms.Bugzilla %], named
+ <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/jobqueue.html">jobqueue.pl</a>,
+ and to enable the <a href="editparams.cgi?section=mta#use_mailer_queue">
+ use_mailer_queue</a> parameter.</p>
+
+<p>Using the background email-sending daemon instead of sending mail directly
+ should result in a very large speed-up for updating [% terms.bugs %],
+ particularly on larger installations.</p>
+
+<h3 id="v34_feat_tz">Dates and Times Displayed In User's Time Zone</h3>
+
+<p>Users can now select what time zone they are in and [% terms.Bugzilla %]
+ will adjust displayed times to be correct for their time zone. However,
+ times the user inputs are unfortunately still in [% terms.Bugzilla %]'s
+ time zone.</p>
+
+<h3 id="v34_feat_vis">Custom Fields That Only Appear When Another Field
+ Has a Particular Value</h3>
+
+<p>When creating a new custom field (or updating the definition of
+ an existing custom field), you can now say that "this field only
+ appears when field X has value Y". (In the future, you will be able
+ to select multiple values for "Y", so a field will appear when any
+ one of those values is selected.)</p>
+
+<p>This feature only hides fields--it doesn't make their values go away.
+ So [% terms.bugs %] will still show up in searches for that field's
+ value, but the field won't appear in the user interface.</p>
+
+<p>This is a good way of making Product-specific fields.</p>
+
+<h3 id="v34_feat_vals">Custom Fields Whose List of Values Change
+ Depending on the Value of Another Field</h3>
+
+<p>When creating a drop-down or multiple-selection custom field, you can
+ now specify that another field "controls the values" of this field.
+ Then, when adding values to this field, you can say that a particular
+ value only appears when the other field is set to a particular
+ value.</p>
+
+<p>Here's an example: Let's say that we create a field called "Colors",
+ and we make the Product field "control the values" for Colors. Then we
+ add Blue, Red, Black, and Yellow as legal values for the "Colors" field.
+ Now we can say that "Blue" and "Red" only appear as valid choices in
+ Product A, "Yellow" only appears in Product B, but "Black" <em>always</em>
+ appears.</p>
+
+<p>One thing to note is that this feature only controls what values appear in
+ the <em>user interface</em>. [% terms.Bugzilla %] itself will still accept
+ any combination of values as valid, in the backend.</p>
+
+<h3 id="v34_feat_bugid">New Custom Field Type: [% terms.Bug %] ID</h3>
+
+<p>You can now create a custom field that holds a reference to a single
+ valid [% terms.bug %] ID. In the future this will be enhanced to allow
+ [%+ terms.bugs %] to refer to each other via this field.</p>
+
+<h3 id="v34_feat_see">"See Also" Field</h3>
+
+<p>We have added a new standard field called "See Also" to
+ [%+ terms.Bugzilla %]. In this field, you can put URLs to multiple
+ [%+ terms.bugs %] in any [% terms.Bugzilla %] installation, to indicate
+ that those [% terms.bugs %] are related to this one. It also supports
+ adding URLs to [% terms.bugs %] in
+ <a href="http://launchpad.net/">Launchpad</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Right now, the field just validates the URLs and then displays them, but
+ in the future, it will grab information from the other installation about
+ the [% terms.bug %] and display it here, and possibly even update the
+ other installation.</p>
+
+<p>If your installation does not need this field, you can hide it by disabling
+ the <a href="editparams.cgi?section=bugfields#use_see_also">use_see_also
+ parameter</a>.</p>
+
+<h3 id="v34_feat_cols">Re-order Columns in Search Results</h3>
+
+<p>There is a new interface for choosing what columns appear in search
+ results, which allows you to change the order in which columns appear
+ from left to right when viewing the [% terms.bug %] list.</p>
+
+<h3 id="v34_feat_desc">Search Descriptions</h3>
+
+<p>When displaying search results, [% terms.Bugzilla %] will now show
+ a brief description of what you searched for, at the top of the
+ [%+ terms.bug %] list.</p>
+
+<h3 id="v34_feat_other">Other Enhancements and Changes</h3>
+
+<h4>Enhancements for Users</h4>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>You can now log in from every page, using the login form that appears
+ in the header or footer when you click "Log In".</li>
+ <li>When viewing [% terms.abug %], obsolete attachments are now
+ hidden from the attachment list by default. You can show them
+ by clicking "Show Obsolete" at the bottom of the attachment list.</li>
+ <li>In the Email Preferences, you can now choose to get email when
+ a new [% terms.bug %] report is filed and you have a particular
+ role on it.</li>
+ <li>When resolving a mid-air collision, you can now choose to submit
+ only your comment.</li>
+ <li>You can now set the Blocks and Depends On field on the "Change
+ Several [% terms.Bugs %] At Once" page.</li>
+ <li>If your installation uses the "insidergroup" feature, you can now add
+ private comments on the "Change Several [% terms.Bugs %] At Once"
+ page.</li>
+ <li>When viewing a search result, you can now hover over any abbreviated
+ field to see its full value.</li>
+ <li>When logging out, users are now redirected to the main page of
+ [%+ terms.Bugzilla %] instead of an empty page.</li>
+ <li>When editing [% terms.abug %], text fields (except the comment box) now
+ grow longer when you widen your browser window.</li>
+ <li>When viewing [% terms.abug %], the Depends On and Blocks list will
+ display [% terms.abug %]'s alias if it has one, instead of its id.
+ Also, closed [% terms.bugs %] will be sorted to the end of the list.</li>
+
+ <li>If you use the time-tracking features of [% terms.Bugzilla %], and
+ you enable the time-tracking related columns in a search result,
+ then you will see a summary of the time-tracking data at the
+ bottom of the search result.</li>
+ <li>For users of time-tracking, the <kbd>summarize_time.cgi</kbd> page
+ now contains more data.</li>
+
+ <li>When viewing an attachment's details page while you are logged-out,
+ flags are no longer shown as editable.</li>
+ <li>Cloning [% terms.abug %] will now retain the "Blocks" and "Depends On"
+ fields from the [% terms.bug %] being cloned.</li>
+ <li>[% terms.Bug %]mail for new [% terms.bugs %] will now indicate
+ what security groups the [% terms.bug %] has been restricted to.</li>
+ <li>You can now use any custom drop-down field as an axis for a tabular
+ or graphical report.</li>
+ <li>The <kbd>X-Bugzilla-Type</kbd> header in emails sent by
+ [%+ terms.Bugzilla %] is now "new" for [% terms.bug %]mail sent for
+ newly-filed [% terms.bugs %], and "changed" for emails having to do
+ with updated [% terms.bugs %].</li>
+ <li>Mails sent by the "Whining" system now contain the header
+ <kbd>X-Bugzilla-Type: whine</kbd>.</li>
+ <li>[% terms.bug %]mail now contains a X-Bugzilla-URL header to uniquely
+ identify which [% terms.Bugzilla %] installation the email came from.</li>
+ <li>If you input an invalid regular expression anywhere in
+ [%+ terms.Bugzilla %], it will now tell you explicitly instead of failing
+ cryptically.</li>
+ <li>The <kbd>duplicates.xul</kbd> page (which wasn't used by very many
+ people) is now gone.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h4>Enhancements for Administrators and Developers</h4>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>[% terms.Bugzilla %] now uses the SHA-256 algorithm (a variant of
+ SHA-2) to encrypt passwords in the database, instead of using Unix's
+ "crypt" function. This allows passwords longer than eight characters
+ to actually be effective. Each user's password will be converted to
+ SHA-256 the first time they log in after you upgrade to
+ [%+ terms.Bugzilla %] 3.4 or later.</li>
+ <li>If you are using database replication with [% terms.Bugzilla %],
+ many more scripts now take advantage of the read-only slave (the
+ "shadowdb"). It may be safe to open up <kbd>show_bug.cgi</kbd>
+ to search-engine indexing by editing your <kbd>robots.txt</kbd> file,
+ now, if your [% terms.Bugzilla %] is on fast-enough hardware.</li>
+ <li>The database now uses foreign keys to enforce the validity of
+ relationships between tables. Not every single table has all its
+ foreign keys yet, but most do.</li>
+ <li>Various parameters have been removed, in an effort to de-clutter
+ the parameter interface and simplify [% terms.Bugzilla %]'s code.
+ The parameters that were removed were: timezone, supportwatchers,
+ maxpatchsize, commentonclearresolution, commentonreassignbycomponent,
+ showallproducts. They have all been replaced with sensible default
+ behaviors. (For example, user watching is now always enabled.)</li>
+ <li>When adding <code>&debug=1</code> to the end of a
+ <kbd>buglist.cgi</kbd> URL, [% terms.Bugzilla %] will now also do an
+ EXPLAIN on the query, to help debug performance issues.</li>
+ <li>When editing flag types in the administrative interface, you can now
+ see how many flags of each type have been set.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h4>WebService Changes</h4>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>Various functions have been added to the WebService:
+ <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/Bugzilla/WebService/Bug.html#history">B[% %]ug.history</a>,
+ <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/Bugzilla/WebService/Bug.html#search">B[% %]ug.search</a>,
+ <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/Bugzilla/WebService/Bug.html#comments">B[% %]ug.comments</a>,
+ <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/Bugzilla/WebService/Bug.html#update_see_also">B[% %]ug.update_see_also</a>,
+ <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/Bugzilla/WebService/User.html#get">User.get</a>,
+ and <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/Bugzilla/WebService/Bugzilla.html#time">B[% %]ugzilla.time</a>
+ (<kbd>B[% %]ugzilla.timezone</kbd> is now deprecated).
+ </li>
+ <li>For network efficiency, you can now limit which fields are returned
+ from certain WebService functions, like <kbd>User.get</kbd>.</li>
+ <li>There is now a "permissive" argument for the <kbd>B[% %]ug.get</kbd>
+ WebService function, which causes it not to throw an error when you
+ ask for [% terms.bugs %] you can't see.</li>
+
+ <li>The <kbd>B[% %]ug.get</kbd> method now returns many more fields.</li>
+ <li>The <kbd>B[% %]ug.add_comment</kbd> method now returns the ID of the comment
+ that was just added.</li>
+ <li>The <kbd>B[% %]ug.add_comment</kbd> method will now throw an error if you
+ try to add a private comment but do not have the correct permissions.
+ (In previous versions, it would just silently ignore the <kbd>private</kbd>
+ argument if you didn't have the correct permissions.)</li>
+ <li>Many WebService function parameters now take individual values in
+ addition to arrays.</li>
+ <li>The WebService now validates input types--it makes sure that dates
+ are in the right format, that ints are actually ints, etc. It will throw
+ an error if you send it invalid data. It also accepts empty ints, doubles,
+ and dateTimes, and translates them to <kbd>undef</kbd>.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2 id="v34_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

+ 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 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>
+</ul>
+
+<h2 id="v34_upgrading">Notes On Upgrading From a Previous Version</h2>
+
+<p>When upgrading to 3.4, <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="v34_code_changes">Code Changes Which May Affect Customizations</h2>
+
+<ul>
+ <li><kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd> now re-writes the <kbd>localconfig</kbd>
+ file every time it runs, keeping the current values set (if there
+ are any), but moving any unexpected variables into a file called
+ <kbd>localconfig.old</kbd>. If you want to continue having custom
+ varibles in <kbd>localconfig</kbd>, you will have to add them to
+ the <code>LOCALCONFIG_VARS</code> constant in
+ <kbd>Bugzilla::Install::Localconfig</kbd>.</li>
+ <li><kbd>Bugzilla::Object->update()</kbd> now returns something different
+ in list context than it does in scalar context.</li>
+ <li><kbd>Bugzilla::Object->check()</kbd> now can take object
+ ids in addition to names. Just pass in <code>{ id => $some_value
+ }</code>.</li>
+ <li>Instead of being defined in <kbd>buglist.cgi</kbd>, columns for
+ search results are now defined in a subroutine called <code>COLUMNS</code>
+ in <kbd>Bugzilla::Search</kbd>. The data now mostly comes from the
+ <kbd>fielddefs</kbd> table in the database. Search.pm now takes a list
+ of column names from fielddefs for its <kbd>fields</kbd> argument instead
+ of literal SQL columns.</li>
+ <li><kbd>Bugzilla::Field->legal_values</kbd> now returns an array of
+ <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/Bugzilla/Field/Choice.html">Bugzilla::Field::Choice</a>
+ objects instead of an array of strings. Bugzilla::Field::Choice will be used
+ in more places, in the future.</li>
+ <li>We now use <kbd>Bugzilla::Bug->check()</kbd> instead of
+ <kbd>ValidateBugId</kbd>.</li>
+ <li>The <kbd>groups</kbd> and <kbd>bless_groups</kbd> methods in
+ <kbd>Bugzilla::User</kbd> now return an arrayref of
+ <kbd>Bugzilla::Group</kbd> objects instead of a hashref with
+ group ids and group names.</li>
+ <li>Standard [% terms.Bugzilla %] drop-down fields now have their type
+ set to <kbd>FIELD_TYPE_SINGLE_SELECT</kbd> in the fielddefs table.</li>
+ <li><kbd>Bugzilla->usage_mode</kbd> now defaults to
+ <kbd>USAGE_MODE_CMDLINE</kbd> if we are not running inside a web
+ server.</li>
+ <li>We no longer delete environment variables like <kbd>$ENV{PATH}</kbd>
+ automatically unless we're actually running in taint mode.</li>
+ <li>We are now using YUI 2.6.0.</li>
+ <li>In <a href="config.cgi?ctype=rdf">the RDF format of config.cgi</a>,
+ the "resource" attribute for flags now contains "flag.cgi" instead
+ of "flags.cgi".</li>

+
+<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

+ version's release notes</strong>.</p>
+
+<h2 id="v32_point">Updates in this 3.2.x Release</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>3.2.3</h3>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>[% terms.Bugzilla %] is now compatible with MySQL 5.1.x versions 5.1.31
+ and greater.
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=480001">[% terms.Bug %] 480001</a>)</li>
+ <li>On Windows, [% terms.Bugzilla %] sometimes would send mangled emails
+ (that would often fail to send).
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=467920">[% terms.Bug %] 467920</a>)</li>
+ <li><code>recode.pl</code> would sometimes crash when trying to convert
+ databases from older versions of [% terms.Bugzilla %].
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=431201">[% terms.Bug %] 431201</a>)</li>
+ <li>Running a saved search with Unicode characters in its name would
+ cause [% terms.Bugzilla %] to crash.
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=477513">[% terms.Bug %] 477513</a>)</li>
+ <li>[% terms.Bugzilla %] clients like Mylyn can now update [% terms.bugs %]
+ again (the [% terms.bug %] XML format now contains a "token" element that
+ can be used when updating [% terms.abug %]).
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=476678">[% terms.Bug %] 476678</a>)</li>
+ <li>For installations using the <code>shadowdb</code> parameter,
+ [%+ terms.Bugzilla %] was accidentally writing to the "tokens" table
+ in the shadow database (instead of the master database) when using the
+ "Change Several [% terms.Bugs %] at Once" page.
+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=476943">[% terms.Bug %] 476943</a>)</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>This release also contains a security fix. See the
+ <a href="#v32_security">Security Fixes Section</a> for details.</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.
+ <kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd> 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>
+

+
+<h3 id="v32_feat_ui">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 id="v32_feat_skin">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 id="v32_feat_status">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 id="v32_feat_fields">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 id="v32_feat_install">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 id="v32_feat_oracle">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 id="v32_feat_utf8">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 id="v32_feat_grcons">Group Icons</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 id="v32_feat_other">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>
+ <li>The documentation can now be localized--in other words, you can have
+ documentation installed for multiple languages at once and
+ [%+ terms.Bugzilla %] will link to the correct language in its internal
+ documentation links.</li>
+ <li>[% terms.Bugzilla %] no longer uses the <kbd>languages</kbd> parameter.
+ Instead it reads the <kbd>template/</kbd> directory to see which
+ languages are available.</li>
+ <li>Some of the messages printed by <kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd> can now
+ be localized. See <kbd>template/en/default/setup/strings.txt.pl</kbd>.
+</ul>
+
+<h2 id="v32_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

+ 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

+ <li><a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=276230">
+ [%- terms.Bug %] 276230</a>: The support for restricting access to

+ 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

+
+<h2 id="v32_upgrading">How to Upgrade From An Older Version</h2>
+
+<h3 id="v32_upgrading_notes">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>
+
+ <li><strong>You should also read the
+ <a href="#v30_upgrading_notes">[% terms.Bugzilla %] 3.0 Notes For Upgraders
+ section</a> of the
+ <a href="#v32_previous">previous release notes</a> if you are upgrading

+ <li><a href="#v32_code_other">Other Changes</a></li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3 id="v32_code_hooks">More Hooks!</h3>
+
+<p>There are more code hooks in 3.2 than there were in 3.0. See the
+ documentation of <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/Bugzilla/Hook.html">Bugzilla::Hook</a>
+ for more details.</p>
+
+<h3 id="v32_code_search">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 id="v32_code_lib">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 id="v32_code_other">Other Changes</h3>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>You should now be using <code>get_status('NEW')</code> instead of
+ <code>status_descs.NEW</code> in templates.</li>
+ <li>The <code>[%# version = 1.0 %]</code> comment at the top of every
+ template file has been removed.</li>

+
+<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 id="v30_point">Updates in this 3.0.x Release</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=431721">[% terms.Bug %] 431721</a>)</li>
+
+ <li><kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd> 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 [% terms.abug %].
+ (<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

+ 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>

+ 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=378590">[% terms.Bug %] 378590</a>)</li>
+ <li>If your <code>urlbase</code> parameter included a port number,

+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=384501">[% terms.Bug %] 384501</a>)</li>

+ 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

+</ul>
+
+<h3 id="v30_feat_cf">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 id="v30_feat_mp">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 id="v30_feat_sq">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 id="v30_feat_afn">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 id="v30_feat_cr">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 id="v30_feat_ppp">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 id="v30_feat_ui">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 id="v30_feat_xml">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 id="v30_feat_skin">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 id="v30_feat_sbu">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 id="v30_feat_et">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 id="v30_feat_df">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 id="v30_feat_cc">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 id="v30_feat_emi">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 id="v30_feat_gw">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 [% terms.abug %]
+ still won't get notifications about that [% terms.bug %].</p>
+
+<h3 id="v30_feat_utf8">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 id="v30_feat_upda">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 id="v30_feat_welc">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 id="v30_feat_qs">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 id="v30_feat_other">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 [% terms.abug %] 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 [% terms.abug %] 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 id="v30_issues">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

+ <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 id="v30_upgrading">How to Upgrade From An Older Version</h2>
+
+<h3 id="v30_upgrading_notes">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 <kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd>.</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 id="v30_code_changes">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_api">API Documentation</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 id="v30_code_loc"><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 id="v30_code_hooks">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 b<!-- -->ug</a>!</p>
+
+<h3 id="v30_code_api">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 id="v30_code_globals">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 id="v30_code_scope">Cleaned Up Variable Scoping Issues</h3>
+
+<p>In normal perl, you can have code like this:</p>
+<pre>my $var = 0;
+sub y { $var++ }</pre>
+
+<p>However, under mod_perl that doesn't work. So variables are no
+ longer "shared" with subroutines--instead all variables
+ that a subroutine needs must be declared inside the subroutine itself.</p>
+
+<h3 id="v30_code_sql">No More SendSQL</h3>
+
+<p>The old <kbd>SendSQL</kbd> function and all of its companions are
+ <strong>gone</strong>. Instead, we now use DBI for all database
+ interaction.</p>
+
+<p>For more information about how to use
+ <a href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?DBI">DBI</a> with
+ [%+ terms.Bugzilla %], see the
+ <a href="http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/developer.html#sql-sendreceive">Developer's
+ Guide Section About DBI</a></p>
+
+<h3 id="v30_code_auth">Auth Re-write</h3>
+
+<p>The <kbd>Bugzilla::Auth</kbd> family of modules have been completely
+ re-written. For details on how the new structure of authentication,
+ read the
+ <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/Bugzilla/Auth.html">Bugzilla::Auth
+ API docs</a>.</p>
+
+<p>It should be very easy to write new authentication plugins, now.</p>
+
+<h3 id="v30_code_obj">Bugzilla::Object</h3>
+
+<p>There is a new base class for most of our objects,
+ <a href="[% docs_urlbase FILTER html %]api/Bugzilla/Object.html">Bugzilla::Object</a>.
+ It makes it really easy to create new objects based on things that are
+ in the database.</p>
+
+<h3 id="v30_code_req">Bugzilla->request-cache</h3>
+
+<p><kbd>Bugzilla.pm</kbd> used to cache things like the database
+ connection in package-global variables (like <kbd>$_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 id="v30_code_other">Other Changes</h3>
+
+<ul>
+ <li><kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd> 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 [% terms.abug %] 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>
