Redmine Backlogs

v0.2.1 has a rake task bug that prevents any rake tasks from executing properly if the cucumber gem is not installed in the system. To fix this, we've released v0.2.2. Please go ahead and update your plugins. Remember to test in a staging environment first!

For git users

 cd path/to/redmine_backlogs
 git fetch --tags origin
 git checkout v0.2.2
 rake db:migrate_plugins

Then restart Redmine

We've created the maintenance branch 0.2.x for minor bug fixes. There is now a feature freeze in effect in this branch and only bug fixes will be allowed. All new features are to be placed in the master branch which will eventually become 0.3.0.

Interested in contributing to the code? Here are some tips to get you started.

v0.2.1 is now available in the repo. This update is a minor one that mostly includes bug fixes. We have also integrated an automatic testing framework (#265) with the code as an initial step to make it more stable. Included in this release is the ability to define sprint impediments in the taskboard (#244). For more information on what's included in this release, see the version details page.

To get this latest version:

For git users

 cd path/to/redmine_backlogs
 git fetch --tags origin
 git checkout v0.2.1
 rake db:migrate_plugins

Then restart Redmine

But wait! There's more!¶

Along with the release of v0.2.1, we are also very excited to announce the new URLs for the project:

We reverted the tagging and versioning to make it more semantic (http://semver.org/). Since we feel that we still are missing a few things in the project to be truly considered for the 1.0 version, we dropped all branches and tagged them accordingly as 0.0.1, 0.1.0, and 0.2.0.

From now on, master will always contain the latest code and we will just tag every 2 weeks (0.2.1, 0.2.2, 0.2.3) for everyone's reference.

VERSION FORMAT: X.Y.Z (Major.Minor.Patch)

Please note that because we are still in major version 0, the underlying API can change anytime. This is also the reason why we are not going to maintain any version branches. These will be created once we get v1.0.0 out the door. As to when that version will come out, we have no specific date yet.

Did we say real-time updates are not yet implemented in the taskboard?? Well, then, scrap that! We just pushed changes to make this happen.

We've recently pushed code that allows real-time updates between users. Drag a story from the product backlog to one of the sprints and the other users viewing that same backlog will immediately see the change. No need to manually refresh the browser. This is currently only implemented for the product backlog view. Taskboards still require manually refreshing the browser for now.
