Announcing Bugzilla 5 Public Beta!

[Christine Freitas]

Hello All,


We are pleased to announce Red Hat's Bugzilla 5 beta [1]! We’re inviting
all of you to participate.

We encourage you to test your current scripts against this new version and
take part in the beta discussions on the Fedora development list [2].
Partners and customers may also use their existing communications channels
to share feedback or questions. We ask that you provide feedback or
questions by Wednesday, May 17th.

Here is a short list of some of the changes in Bugzilla 5:


   -

   Major improvements in the WebServices interface, including a new
   REST-like endpoint, allowing clients to access data using standard HTTP
   calls for easy development.
   -

   The UI has been significantly overhauled for a modern browsing
   experience.
   -

   Performance improvements, including caching improvements to allow faster
   access to certain types of data.
   -

   Red Hat Associates, Customers and Fedora Account System users can now
   log in using SAML.
   -

   The addition of some of the Bayoteers extensions allowing features such
   as inline editing of bugs in search results, team management and scrum
   tools, etc.
   -

   Ye Olde diff viewer has been replaced with the modern diff2html diff
   viewer
   -

   Improved, updated documentation including a rewrite using the
   reStructuredText format, which allows documentation to be more easily
   converted into different formats such as HTML and PDF, etc


The official release date for Bugzilla 5 will be determined based on the
beta feedback. We will communicate to you as the beta progresses.
