At 02:00 GMT we will upgrade FogBugz to 8.5.114 and Kiln to 2.5.159.
Along with the usual assortment of minor bug fixes and performance enhancements, changes include:
FogBugz
- User accounts now have profile pictures, exposed when hovering over a user's name
- Plugins can now determine the status of a hosted account for both FogBugz and Kiln (free trial, enabled)
- Bug fixed where VS Addin occasionally crashed Visual Studio
- More robust screenshot tool uploads
- Faster attachment uploads
- Allow aliases for mailboxes that are longer than 256 characters
Kiln
- Both Kiln and its client tools have been fully updated to Mercurial 1.9, speeding up push times and providing many new features
- The Kiln BFiles plugin has received many improvements and bug fixes
- Code reviews show users' profile pictures, making it easier to see who said what
- Changesets now show visual diffs when images were changed
- The file browser allows showing a preview of image data
- A new feature, Access Tokens, allows continuous integration systems to work with Kiln without using up a Kiln or FogBugz account
- A new permission level, "Read + Branch", allows developers the ability to read central repositories and create branch repositories, but not to push to central repositories
- RSS feeds can now show diffs inline
- RSS feeds can now show pushes rather than individual changesets
- Code searches can now be limited to a project or a given file name
- A bug with Kiln caching that could result in a sticky notifications icon for administrators, or in users failing to show up in permissions tables, has been fixed
This release includes a database upgrade. For most accounts, the upgrade process will be too quick to notice. If you receive an "Account upgrading" message, it should disappear in just a minute or two.
