This a mid-term notice for the users of the new Bugzilla plugin released in v.2.22.10
As we noted at the time of the release, the old Bugzilla profiles can not be converted to the new ones so far.
Hold on for a while, we’re currently working on the profiles converter, and we expect it to be coming in v.2.23.1 in a couple of weeks.
This release includes minor UX and performance improvements:
TargetProcess on-site licenses are updated automatically now as a new version is installed. There’s no need for manual updates anymore.
The upper left userbar has been redesigned. See the screenshot below: the lower part shows how it was before, and the upper part shows how it is now. The “Help” tab is renamed to “User Guide”, Inbox moved to user name drop-down. Personal Settings are now included to this drop-down as well.
Iteration names are now shown in Release/Iteration column in inner lists (for user stories). Previously, only Release names were shown in this column.
Performance has been improved for Allocations and Assignments shown in lists.
Fixed Bugs
Version 2.21.6 has been released to free packs last Friday.
This plugin works as a template for user stories. Though not exactly a template, it creates sets of tasks on the fly. See how:
As soon as tasks are created, the command is auto-cut from user story name. So, in the end, user story includes Design, Implementation, Testing, Specification tasks.
Go to Settings – Systems Settings – Plugins to work with Task Creator.
Now this link is used in email notifications only. No application links depend on it anymore.
You can now disable/enable the Show Totals option in lists. With Show Total turned off, lists are generated much faster.
#33434 User Story list: Effort sum is calculated for stories from one page only
#33398 Exception when editing build with iteration moved to another project
#33172 Prioritize UserStories by Release only (leave off Iterations)
..The kanban contest started on TargetProcess Facebook page at the beginning of this week, and so far we have seen a very cool variety of Kanban boards.
If you like or are interested in Kanban you should defiantly go to our page and check it out and don’t forget to vote for your favorite 
But if you are using one, you should defiantly upload a picture, a short video or a note about it and join the real party, a party that you might be going to leave with a brand new iPad!
…We are looking for the best or the coolest Kanban board out there. Hi-tech LCD screens, post-it notes, or tickets – we want to see what you use, and the best one of the lot gets to take home an iPad!
Most of you use Kanban boards in one form or another. You might be using a whiteboard, or a virtual board supported by software. You might have a small board, or you might have a large one.
All you need to do, is upload an image or a short video (no more than 40 seconds) of your Kanban board to our wall.
Now, collect likes for your submission, and the two submissions with the highest number of likes will be reviewed by our judges to decide on the first place.
The competition is for 3 weeks, so you still got time to upload today, and start collecting those likes!
Remember to check the competition rules
The contest started on the 2nd of March 2011, and ends 21 days later, on the 24th.
There’re two new features in TargetProcess v 2.20.8:
1. Custom fields are now available in quick Add Test Case pop-up
How it was:
As a QA Engineer (Product Owner, Developer) you were working with a User Story, using Test Cases tab to review test cases for this user story. You wanted to Quickly Add Test Case, and you were in Add Test Case screen view, adding a test case. No custom fields (such as Test Type and Risk in the screen below) were available in this view previously. You had to get back to edit/view screen for each particular test case to specify values for custom fields.
How it works now:
Custom fields for test cases are available in Quick Add test case view. You can fill in all the fields for a test case w/o getting back to a standalone test case add/edit view (click on the screen below for a larger image):
2. Taskboard: Hide tasks completed before a particular date
How it was:
With too many tasks in the taskboard view, all you could do (as a Scrum Master or Product Owner) was to filter the tasks by iterations/releases or by people. This helped but not always, and the taskboard would look too clogged.
How it works now:
You can hide tasks closed before a particular date. Obsolete tasks are removed from the view and this makes for a more focused planning and tracking.
Bugs fixed in 2.20.8:
#30897 Predefined Reports: projects order is incorrect; projects tree is invalid: programs are missing, projects are mixed
#31074 Cannot save project changes
#28814 My Impediments dashboard component should only show impediments for which user is responsible
TargetProcess is the Diamond Sponsor of this event and we look forward to networking with agile folks.
Michael Dubakov, TargetProcess Founder and CEO, is coming as well.
We’ve also been the Gold sponsor for Agile Eastern Europe Conference in Kiev in September 2009 and Agile Central Europe in Krakow, Poland, earlier this year. Such conferences work great for our team to get closer, have fun and network with other people and teams.
You’re welcome to come by at TargetProcess booth. See you tomorrow in Kyiv 
This release goes live shortly after the previous one, and along with other improvements has a new essential feature — Release Milestones.
What is a Release Milestone? It’s a landmark that can be set for multiple projects and multiple releases across Release Plan to indicate some meaningful events (e.g. meeting with stakeholders, “hello world” date etc.)
You can add a Milestone both from Quick Add menu and from Release Plan page.
You can specify name, description and date when adding a milestone, select its color (e.g. red) and pick projects with this milestone:
Milestone is shown as a vertical line.
As you move mouse over a milestone, Edit and Delete icons appear. You can quickly edit all the settings for this milestone, e.g. change date or change color (priority):
Or delete this milestone if it’s no longer relevant:
If milestones have a matching date, they’re shown as overlapping boxes. By mouse over, one of the milestones goes on top so you can easily edit it.
Next, Release Plan has been redesigned: now you can add a new release from Release Plan staying on the same screen, release selection view has been improved, you can hide/show backlog (please, click on the screenshot below for a large image).
We also introduced the Today indicator:
Quick Add for a Project Release (on one screen):
Quick Release Edit (Edit icon):
Forecast is now shown with a dotted line:
