From mkanat at bugzilla.org Thu Apr 28 03:48:30 2011 From: mkanat at bugzilla.org (Max Kanat-Alexander) Date: Wed, 27 Apr 2011 20:48:30 -0700 Subject: [ANN] Release of Bugzilla 4.1.2, 4.0.1, 3.6.5, and 3.4.11 Message-ID: <4DB8E38E.3040307@bugzilla.org> Today we are releasing 4.0.1, 3.6.5, 3.4.11, and the unstable development snapshot 4.1.2. Many users had difficulty installing Bugzilla 4.0, 3.6.4, and 3.4.10, due to a bug related to the "Math::Random::Secure" library. These releases fix that bug among other issues. Note that 4.1.2 is an unstable development release and should not be used in production environments. However, we are getting very close to feature freeze for 4.2, so now is the time to give us feedback on 4.1.2 if you want its behavior to change significantly before we release.

Defect Tracking Systems allow individuals or groups of developers to keep track of outstanding bugs in their product effectively. Most commercial defect-tracking software vendors charge enormous licensing fees. Despite being "free", Bugzilla has many features its expensive counterparts lack. Consequently, Bugzilla has quickly become a favorite of thousands of organizations across the globe, and is widely regarded as one of the top defect-tracking systems available.
