Version 2.5 is on the way, but still working on a few last major changes before getting ready to roll things out. Sorry for the delay, but it will be worth it. There's a TON of new features in this new release - stay tuned!!

Version 2.4.5 is now out. It fixes a few small bugs, and adds the ability to save your login session for 2 weeks via a browser cookie.

This should be the last of the 2.4.x released, with 2.5 entering beta testing next week. Let me know if you're interested in helping to beta test the new version, which adds the ability to do billing and some other things.

There are no database changes since 2.4 so no you should be able to just replace the code and leave your config files.

Version 2.4.4 contains some more bug fixes that needed to get in there.

• Search page fixed
• Issue sorting fixed
• Issue status defaults now working on BD
• Session timeouts now set in app - default 90 minutes (stay logged in option coming soon)
• Auto-install now working on linux - had to fix case problems

Version 2.4.3 has just been uploaded. This version fixes a couple of bugs that were sure to come up, and also adds a bit more support in the way of Oracle and Subversion.

Specifically, the svnkit library has been upgraded from 1.1.4 to 1.2.1.5297 which adds support for Subversion 1.5 repositories. Also, Steve Bryant's DataMgr, which is used for the new automated installation script, has been upgraded to 2.2 beta which adds support for Oracle as well as Derby.

The new Backup/Restore feature was using some CF8 specific features but is not any more. It should now be more compatible with earlier versions of CF.

Another small bug fix in todo.cfc - forgot to remove references to svnrevision field in database.

Quick fix - one of the fields I removed in the SQL update script was still being selected in one of the queries. This should resolve the issue.

Thanks to Andrea Campolonghi for reporting the issue so quickly.

The final version of the Project Tracker for 2008 was just released. Version 2.4 is now available for download, and includes lots of great new features and plenty of bug fixes throughout.

Some of the major new features include:

• Time tracking on issues, to-dos, or whatever (this was a big one!)
• Automated installation script now included for initial database setup.
• Better control of errors and error handling.
• Project versions and components now available on issues.
• More detailed project settings available.
• Enable or disable features per project.
• Due dates now available on issues.
• Enhanced view of "All Milestones" and other top-level pages; better filtering by user now available.
• Database backup/restore added to admin.
• Subversion revisions now integrated into issue tracking; can link multiple revisions to an issue.

As you can see, those are quite a bit of changes! I've got some more planned but wanted to get this release out there before feature-creep set in. This release will require a database upgrade for users of previous versions, but upgrade scripts have been included.

Thanks to all of the users who sent in suggestions and solutions to keep things moving forward. Keep 'em comin!

Enjoy & Happy New Year!!
