Collaboa 0.6 released

Collaboa 0.6 is ready

This release allows you to run multiple projects from the same Collaboa install, either in separate repositories or all in one. Let’s see your Trac do that!

This is big news if you keep all your projects in one repository. You can browse tickets, milestones, and changesets for an individual project or look at all projects combined.

Other major changes:

Thanks to everyone who contributed bugs, patches, and words of affirmation! This release was a big step forward, but there’s still much to be done. Looking ahead, we see registration and email notification, major code cleanup and RESTification, easier installation, and automated Trac migration.

Dev site down for maintenance

The dev site is currently down because it’s being moved to another server and will be upgraded to trunk. Expect better performance and reliability from the new server environment.

Update: and it’s back. We’ll be doing a bit of configuration changes over the next evening or two, so expect a few on and off’s during that. After that, we’ll get dev.collaboa.org running off the trunk.

Active development resumed

In case you didn’t notice the commit logs, Jason Garber picked up development of Collaboa in August and since then he’s made about 50 checkins. His employer uses Collaboa daily and wanted to see it get stronger and better, so he’s allocated about four hours a week to the project.

The trunk is pretty stable and should turn into a release fairly soon. When we release, we’ll upgrade dev.collaboa.org (it’s running a very old version) and probably also create a demo site.

If you haven’t tried Collaboa in awhile, now is a good time to take another look. Please continue to submit bugs and patches to the dev site and to participate in conversation on the mailing list. Thanks to the many who have submitted bugs and patches recently.

A note on the state of the trunk

The trunk is currently a bit “unstable”. Particular user permissions and management is a bit on the back-burner in leu of other things I need to get in.

The good news is that I’m working on two new very cool features.
The first one is support for multiple repositories and projects, which is already functional to some degree. The multiple projects is part of the things Tom Clarke has been working on his branch, which he has patiently kept merged with the trunk for far too long.

The other thing which will get in this week is a proper events timeline, with support for externals applications being able to “ping” the “abstract” timeline with an event. Useful for keeping a central notification central for things such as a continuos build system, commits, deployments and lots of other fun things.

So, if you’re brave, or just plain old curious, do take the trunk for a spin, if not, you may wish to hold on to your current install for just a bit longer.

Collaboa 0.5.6 Released

Collaboa 0.5.6 is out!

This small release mainly brings compatibility with Subversion 1.3 to the table, and Subversion 1.2.x support is gone.

Changelog:

Comment

Subversion 1.3 support added in trunk

As of revision 359 in the trunk Collaboa is compatible with the Subversion 1.3 API.

It will also mean that Subversion 1.2.x support is gone. If you wish to keep using Subversion 1.2.x a little longer you can switch your working copy to use http://svn.collaboa.org/svn/collaboa/tags/rel-0.5.5/.

With Subversion 1.3 just being a few days old, I’m really happy to have Collaboa support it, but I’m even more happy to see complete API coverage of the Ruby bindings. Collaboa wouldn’t be possible without the fine work Kouhei Sutou and the others working on the Ruby bindings in Subversion does, a big thanks goes out to these people!

Comment

Collaboa 0.5.5 released

At long last this minor version, that took forever to get done, has been released!

Download it here

Changelog

This will be the last release before Subversion 1.2.x support is dropped and I bring ActionSubversion up to date with Subversion 1.3.

Multiple projects & repositories

One of the most common feature request I get for Collaboa is support for multiple repositories and “projects”. Up until recently I was reluctant to add such a feature to Collaboa, mostly because I don’t need it personally, but also because I want to keep Collaboa nice and simple.

But among those who requested it, there was someone who was actually willing to back it up with an implementation; meet Tom Clarke one of the new committers for Collaboa who’s been having fun in the branches directory, adding multiple-projects support and a beefed up approach to ticketing.

Collaboa spotted

What surely must be one of the very first public uses of Collaboa, apart from our own is Shugo Maeda’s (author of, among other things, eruby and modruby) ximapd project. Running off the trunk no less. Way to go!
