Hello, There was a discussion thread a few months back where someone made note that the `highlights` in the 'Trac 0.11.5 Released' email [1] could have included some additional fixes/features to make upgrading much more appealing. I can't find that message thread, but I have a few suggestions:
1. Include a link in the email that directs to a custom query showing all tickets closed for the 0.11.5 milestone. I have made an attempt at creating the proper query [2]. Even better, perhaps include one link to defects [3] and another to enhancements [4]. 2. I went through the list of defects and enhancements today for the 0.11.5 milestone. As someone who is a primarily an end-user and admin (which probably accounts for the majority of those who would be looking at the release notification and considering whether or not to upgrade), I found the following issues [5 - 12] most interesting, because they affect functionality or behavior in Trac from a user or administrator standpoint. In contrast, there are several issues that only a developer would care about because they don't result in a feature or behavior change, and there where several issues for bugs that I wasn't experiencing (e.g. specific to a database back-end). Finally, there where a few security related permissions issues that interested me. I wouldn't have know about them if I did not a) run the aforementioned query and read through the tickets OR b) follow the Trac user and developer mailing lists, and timeline, on a daily basis (therefore I'm probably considered a 'power user' or 'power admin' and more of an exception in terms of amount of time spent per week following the Trac project). Of course, the developers put in much more time, but just considering the typical admin, user, or someone responsible for user training ... Just my thoughts ... - Ryan [01] http://groups.google.com/group/trac-dev/browse_frm/thread/1bb933250097404a [02] http://trac.edgewall.org/query?status=closed&order=priority&col=id&col=summary&col=priority&col=status&col=owner&col=type&col=milestone&milestone=0.11.5 [03] http://trac.edgewall.org/query?status=closed&order=priority&col=id&col=summary&col=milestone&col=status&col=owner&col=type&col=priority&milestone=0.11.5&type=defect [04] http://trac.edgewall.org/query?status=closed&order=priority&col=id&col=summary&col=milestone&col=status&col=type&col=owner&col=priority&milestone=0.11.5&type=enhancement [05] http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/8309 [06] http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/5718 [07] http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/7209 [08] http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/8252 [09] http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/8234 [10] http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/8290 [11] http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/8253 [12] http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/8410 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Development" group.
