Dear rocket scientists, Launchpad contributors, and any user who has ever had to register a release.
I have made a significant change to what happens when a release is registered. After 10.01's code is rolled into production, the release managers for the respective Launchpad projects can create a release to automatically update all fix committed bugs to fix released. The assigned engineer will get the karma, and the release manager is listed in bug history. This behaviour is true for all registered launchpad projects. There are some additional changes that may interest you. You will not get a warning that the milestone was deactivated because the form to create a release allows you to keep it active. If you are creating a release, but expect to target some bugs misplaced bugs to the milestone afterwards, you can choose to keep the milestone active. You can alway change the milestone status from the Change details link. The date expected field is replaced by the date release in the UI [1]. There are some subtle changes the milestone/release page. The text wrapping of milestone assignees was changed to make it easier to see how many items a person is working on [2]. Bugs are sorted by their status by default. Upstarted bugs are first, completed bugs are last. If you squint, you can image that the listing is a burn-down chart. [1] There are already two bugs regarding the date released should be pre-populated with now or the expected date. If someone does not provide a branch to solve this contradiction, I will one day. [2] I have a heuristic to calculate team velocity and milestone capacity to tell release managers if they can meet their goals. I have not implemented it yet because we are seeing terrible performance issues in the Python code that creates the counts in the activities portlet (and series page). We need to solve this issue before making the milestone page do more work. -- __Curtis C. Hovey_________ http://launchpad.net/
