Yes, but that was always the case with Bugzilla. You get the version it was reported against, not the version it was fixed in. > For instance for https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49625 it > is now marked for tomcat 6. And only the comments can tell us that it was > fixed in 7.0.3 ?? The primary source of that information is the changelog, not Bugzilla. Many years ago we used to just add a comment that it was fixed in a particular major version without the exact version in which it was fixed. We started adding the fixed version in response to a user's request. Personally, I don't use it that often - I use the changelog. JIRA can track this information (it can also generate changelogs) but I don't think it is anything the committers have felt they needed. At least I haven't. I'm not against switching to JIRA, but neither am I particularly for it either. I actually have a slight preference for Bugzilla since I prefer simple tools that provide the info I need rather than ones that have lots of bells and whistles that I don't need. The Bugzilla search interface is probably its weakest component. We are due an upgrade to 3.6.x which includes the results of a usability study which may improve this - I haven't checked yet.
