Hi all, Its been a long while since a "project update" type email about StoryBoard, but over the past few months we merged some patches which either are worth mentioning or changed things in ways that would benefit from some explanation.
# Linking to projects by name Keen observers might've noticed that StoryBoard recently grew the ability to link to projects by name, rather than by ID number. All the links to projects in the UI have been replaced with links in this form, and its probably a good idea for folk to start using them in any documentation they have. These links look like https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/project/openstack-infra/storyboard # Linking to project groups by name More recently (yesterday) it also became possible to similarly link to project groups by name rather than ID number. Links to project groups in the UI have been replaced with links in this form, and again if you have any documentation using the ID links it might be nice to update to using the name. These links look like https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/project_group/storyboard # Finding stories from a task ID It is now possible to navigate to a story given just a task ID, if for whatever reason that's all the information you have available. A link like https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/task/12389 will work. This will redirect to the story containing the task, and is the first part of work to support linking directly to an individual task in a story. # UI updates There have been some visual changes in the webclient's user interface to attempt to make things generally feel nicer. This work is also not totally finished and there are further changes planned. One big change is that the "Profile" button in the sidebar used for setting preferences and managing access tokens has gone away. The URLs used to access this functionality are unchanged, but the links in the UI can now be found by clicking the user name in the top-right to open the dropdown menu, which previously only contained the log out button. # Bugfixes Various minor bugs and annoyances have also been addressed. For example search should behave somewhat more predictably than it did at the start of the year, syntax highlighting actually works again, and the markdown parser should be less aggressive in its swallowing of line breaks. Stay tuned in the future for more fixes and features, and feel free to pop into #storyboard with any questions or comments you may have. We're always open to suggestions and even more open to patches! We also have a PTG session on Tuesday afternoon, currently intended to be in Blanca Peak. Feel free to drop by to join the discussions and/or add to the etherpad[0].
