Hi,

There is an official release [2.1.0-beta] made through the SourceForge file releases system.

This should be fine to use in production.  It is in beta because Wicket 1.3.0 is not final yet.  Also some translations need to be synced up so please help out if you can.  Do let us know if you spot anything unbecoming of an official release.

Also, please do visit the web-site [ http://jtrac.info ] and the updated documentation and suggest if any of your favourite features need more explanation etc.

Thanks,

Peter.

Hello Peter,

 

We have been using jTrac in our company for the last couple of months both in my organization (Software Development) and operations (customer support, network engineering, helpdesk, etc.) to track tasks and issues. We picked jTrac because it is so much easy to use and install. We are using MySQL as our database and tomcat as our application server. We have enabled SSL in tomcat for security since we access jTrac from geographically distributed teams. Overall jTrac has served us well and we are happy that we choose jTrac over a few other competing products. It is very stable and robust.

 

However I think that there is still lot of room for improvement to make jTrac more appealing for corporations. Here is my wish list of features I would love to see in future versions of Jtrac:

 

  1. “Assign To” field only gets enabled only when we choose a new status. This forces us to choose a status even when we are trying to reassign a task without changing its status.
  2. “Notify By Email̶1; and “Assign To” should be ordered alphabetically.
  3. Allow file attachments at the issue level (as opposed to history level) along with the ability to replace an existing attachment with an updated version.
  4. We are extensively using the feature to relate tasks. I have noticed that this feature is not very robust. Often I have to try more than once to successfully add related tasks. Also I don’t think that comment should be mandatory when adding related tasks. Enhance the ability to relate tasks and remove/modify task relationships. Currently this support is very rudimentary!
  5. When somebody leaves the company, the administrator should be able to easily lock/deactivate the user account. Currently I have to lock users by updating the database table!
  6. Add the ability to create an issue by email.
  7. Implement full blown integration with subversion.
  8. Allow the option to record jTrac activity (log user logins and logouts, accumulate usage statistics for later review)
  9. Add the ability to save named searches.
  10. Implement standard management reports.
  11. Implement single sign-on

 

Thanks and Regards,

Saurabh

Thanks Saurabh,

Thanks for the feedback on JTrac.  I'll try to respond to
some of your
comments and actually some of these are implemented in
2.1.0-beta.  It would
help if you raise feature requests also, so that we can
track these better,
and you can do this here: http:

Agreed, we'll try to make this change before 2.1.0 final

To" should be ordered alphabetically.

This is done in 2.1.0

Yes, do raise a feature request.

I admit this was rushed into 2.0, can you try 2.1.0 as soon
as you get the
chance because this has been improved.  You can also raise a
feature request
if you feel the comment should be optional.

LDAP integration is available in this version, for the rest,
please raise
feature requests.
