A few months after the 0.9.1, the new version of CodingTeam is released! This new release comes with bugfixes and four main new features.

CodingTeam 0.9.2 reintroduces the gettext-based online translation system. It was already in our forge up to the 0.42 but this had disappeared with the full-rewrite of the 0.9. Now, you can easily translate your software online with CodingTeam! The process is simple: you upload a gettext translation model (a .pot file) and then users can translate all your strings in their language. If you already have a gettext translation file (a .po), you can upload it to automatically translate all the strings in the database. When you want to get the translated strings in order to release your software, just export the translation file for all available languages and it's done! And by the way, to prepare the next release, you will import your new .pot file, which will cause the automatical update of your strings database (deleted strings will be deactivated).

This feature is very new and we release it early to get feebacks on this implementation, in order to make it better and better with the time. But here it is, you can now translate your softwares with CodingTeam!

An another main new feature of this 0.9.2 release is the advanced user-rights management by projects. Project's admins can now grant powers or not to their coworkers. For instance, you can now make a moderator for your forums that cannot use Subversion. You can also disable the rights for the others project's admins to edit or delete the project. All you could imagine by the past can easily be done, now!

The third important improvement in this new release is the ability to filter bugs on a multiplicity of criterias. Bugs can now be filtred on their status, type, assigning, version and/or milestone.

And, last but not least, the fourth main feature is the support for multiples templates themes. CodingTeam now comes with two CSS, the default one and a simple one that just aims to show you an exemple of the CodingTeam CSS creation.

Besides that, a lot of bugfixes have been done and we can highlight a few little improvements:

• if need-validate is enabled, when an admin adds a project, he doesn't have anymore to validate his new project
• when a project's admin edits the bug's properties, he doesn't have anymore to inevitably assign it to someone
• if the default versions ordering doesn't fit to your needs, you can set a position identifier to easily choose the order
• ability to prevent anonymous users to post anything on the forge
• spam filter (based on the content)
• a personal dashboard: timeline for all your projects

You can download CodingTeam 0.9.2 here. If you were using CodingTeam 0.9.1, you have to read and execute scripts/miscellaneous/upgrade091-092.php to update your database.

And to celebrate this new release, CodingTeam.org introduces the CodingTeam Blog! Click here to read our blog.

Only 6 months after the 0.9, CodingTeam 0.9.1 is now released!

A lot of exciting new features come with this new version of the CodingTeam software-forge. CodingTeam is a forge used by more than 1.000 users on CodingTeam.net and by a few enterprises.

CodingTeam 0.9.1 introduces:

• basic template system based on the alternative PHP syntax
• ability to make a project private
• advanced commit hooks: it can now automatically close a bug if your commit message contains something like "fixes #id" or "fixed #id"
• new timeline: no more ATOM agregator but data is now taken from the database in a given interval and can be configured very simply on the user-side
• ability for anonymous to report a bug or add a comment to a bug
• notion of milestone in addition to the affected version: roadmap is now generated with the milestone field
• user's briefcases: allow users to upload files for their project (eg: pictures or PDFs for wiki pages…)
• ability to make the forge non-public (require authentification)
• new Subversion code browser: faster and more efficient (can show an image, show a really beautiful diff…)

Also, this update comes with many fixed bugs and little improvements.

Some work has been done on sessions too. For example, developers can now extend the BaseSession class in order to allow different authentification methods inside CodingTeam. This new feature has been used to implement an experimental support of the XEP-0070 (Verifying HTTP Requests via XMPP, a sort of XMPP authentification).
In addition to this, CodingTeam 0.9.1 introduce a security fix that try to prevent session hijacking.

Still on the developer-side, the error handler class has been greately improved. It can show a full traceback (debug and source code). It can handle all errors (from CT errors to PHP fatal errors). And it can also log all errors into a file (the log levelling is configurable).

Administrators will see that their administration interface has been improved too. They can now clear the whole cache just by clicking on a button. And they can edit all data (licences, languages, categories and available translations) with a really simple form.

In order to celebrate this new version, codingteam.org has been upgraded! Feel free to take a look at this website and to spread it worldwide.

You can download CodingTeam 0.9.1 here. If you were using CodingTeam 0.9, you have to read and execute scripts/miscellaneous/upgrade09-091.php to update your database.

Stay tuned, the 0.9.2 is our new goal with a lot of new exciting features. Take a look at our roadmap!

This is just some news about the new CodingTeam website hosted at http://codingteam.org.

The goal of this website is to show CodingTeam and to inform developers, users and administrators about this software. It provides a full description, an historical presentation, a features list, a support page and contact informations.

This website is now the homepage for the CodingTeam project and it will make your life: if you want to talk about the CodingTeam software, you use codingteam.org but if you want to talk about the free forge for free (as in freedom) software projects, you still use codingteam.net.

If you are interested, you will see that we mention a few enterprises that are using CodingTeam within their developement processus. If you are aware about other installations, let us know!

Feel free to take a loot at our new website: codingteam.org!

CodingTeam 0.9 is now released!

More than one year after the first public version of CodingTeam (the 0.42 in june 2007), I am very pleased to announce a new version of your favorite forge software.
For this version (0.9), the source code has been fully rewritten and we want to adopt another developement method. The 0.9 will be the first of a whole branch, followed by 0.9.1, the 0.9.2 and so on…

If you are wondering about the signification of the numbers, you just have to know that the first public version was 0.42, it was already usable but not so stable. And because we want to start a new branch, 0.9 will be more stable and with a lot of new functionnalities. The *really stable* version will be the 1.0.

The great things in 0.9 are:

• timeline and roadmap
• integration of Jabber/XMPP
• integration of Subversion
• full support of OpenForge API 0.1
• SVG statistics
• notepad (a sort of wall)
• projects can now use tags
• projects are now rated by popularity

But, if you look closely, you'll see that this new version comes with a lot of new exciting things!

For more information about the CodingTeam software, read this page or the documentation.

If you want to use this version, you can download CodingTeam! Just as a reminder: if you are a developer of free-software (free as in freedom), you can use this forge (CodingTeam.net) to host your projects!

As I said before, the work is not finished and we are planning many new functionnalities. Check out the roadmap to see the progress of our work. In the other hand, if you find a bug or if you want improvements, let us know!

Many thanks to all contributors! And long life to CodingTeam!
Also, I want to personnaly thanks the users at CodingTeam.net for their incredible patience: but they can be happy now, their patience is now fully rewarded!

I am pleased to announce you the new CodingTeam release: CodingTeam 0.42!

CodingTeam is a free forge that permits presentation, management and development of your projects.

After a couple of months, the French-speaking forge benefits from huge improvements as the GNU GPL licensing of the source code, the translation of the entire forge in English (from now on, the forge is available in French and in English) and a lot of new options for the projects that use CodingTeam.
