E-mail notifications working again
Sorry everyone, I did an update to redmine (and reviewboard) recently and misspelled a config file name which broke e-mail notifications. I didn't realize it until today but it is fixed now.
ReviewBoard Upgrades
- You can now upload images (such as screen shots or mock-ups) and leave comments on them by highlighting an area of the image.
- When leaving a comment on a line of code you can now drag over a number of lines to leave a comment on the whole group of lines to provide more context for others.
- Once you log-in to ReviewBoard you will automatically be added to all review groups for projects in which you are a Manager or Developer.
- When creating a new Review Request the project's review group will automatically be added to the request for you.
Redmine upgrades
Tonight I upgraded the Redmine system to version 1.0.3. This is a bug-fix release from the previous 1.0.0 version we were running. It fixes a few bugs such as the "Add File" or "Add News" buttons being missing and a glitch during Wiki File Uploads.
Upgrades to the RC server hardware
We bumped the virtual hardware for the Linux RC server (Redmine, Reviewboard, SVN) from a single CPU with 512MB RAM up to a dual CPU with 2GB RAM. This should help improve speed and everything else.
Centralized Authentication
By creating an account in Arena you are instantly given an account to the redmine project tracking system (where you are now). Once your account has been fully authorized you will also have access to the Arena Windows Server via Remote Desktop Connection. You may make any special adjustments you need as well as loading in custom files (you can turn on file sharing in your RDC preferences).
You only need to wait for RDC access, as soon as you create an account in Arena you will also have an account in the redmine system.
Redmine Project Management
Redmine (http://www.redmine.org/) is a flexible project management web application. Written using Ruby on Rails framework, it is cross-platform and cross-database. Nearly everything can be customized, document types, available forums, issue categories, etc.
The accounts are tied in with the refreshcache.com site server. The same login you have to the Arena server will work here.
