I am sending this on behalf of Dave Lawrence and the bugzilla team at Red Hat. Please forward this on to any appropriate lists that were missed. ======== FINAL CHANGEOVER DATE: Friday, January 8th, 2010 6:00pm EST (23:00:00 UTC) Mark your calendars! We are expecting the migration to take no more than 6 hours. Please let us know at bugzilla-owner@xxxxxxxxxx if this date is in conflict with any release schedules, etc. Greetings, The Red Hat Bugzilla team is happy to announce the release candidate of the next version of Red Hat Bugzilla based on the upstream 3.4 code base. So far there has been little to no feedback on our betas so please use this last opportunity to test drive at: https://partner-bugzilla.redhat.com Over the years Red Hat has made substantial customizations to Bugzilla to fit into the Engineering tool chain. Over time the upstream has incorporated some of these customizations or solved them in different ways. Upgrading reduces our customization footprint (and thus maintenance) while bringing many bug fixes & enhancements. The main area of focus for our public betas are stability. Functionality that currently works in our 3.2 code base should continue to work as expected in the new 3.4 release. These include various ajax optimizations, needinfo actor support, frontpage.cgi, product browser, several various UI enhancements, and of course the XMLRPC API. Please feel free to point your various scripts and third party applications that use the XMLRPC API at the test server to make sure they continue to function properly. There are numerous other changes behind the scenes that we haven't listed. The goal is to make sure that functionality that people have come to expect in 3.2 is possible in the new system. There are also numerous new features/fixes that are part of the upstream 3.4 release. For more detailed information on what has changed since the last release, check out release notes here: https://partner-bugzilla.redhat.com/page.cgi?id=release-notes.html The database is a recent snapshot of the live database so should be useful for testing to make sure the information is displayed properly and changeable. Also with a full snapshot it is possible to test for any performance related issues. Email has been disabled so that unnecessary spam is not sent out. So feel free to make changes to bugs to verify proper working order. We are asking for everyone to get involved as much as possible with testing and feedback on the beta releases to help us make this the most robust and stable release possible. Please file any enhancement requests or bug reports in our current Bugzilla system go here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Bugzilla&version=3.4 To see current list of 3.4 related bugs as well as blockers for release, go here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?product=Bugzilla&version=3.4 Thanks The Red Hat Bugzilla Team
