Integration & API

REST: fixed incorrect filtering by ACID (entitites form all projects get into the list)

Other Fixed Bugs

  • “What’s new” pop-up closes on Escape
  • Exported custom report: data is shown incorrectly if inner list item contains parent-item value
  • Click link “New Run”: LazyInitializationException: Initializing [Tp.BusinessObjects.Role#1]
  • Extended general log format: errors include GET/POST/submodule details

The new Pop Email Integration Plugin announced recently is not making it to a new release so far, as we keep on working on some performance improvements.

TargetProcess v.2.21.15 is basically a bug-fix build.  We’ve also removed some rarely used functionality which does not bring much value to our customers, but burdens the UI and makes TargetProcess more complicated.

List of Features Removed

  • Test Case Library.  As a workaround you can create a new project and copy test cases there  for possible reuse
  • Solutions in  Help Desk area
  • Reports: User Stories Count by States, User Stories Progress, Bugs Count by State, Bugs Progress
  • Integration and API

    Documentation related to REST services can be found in TargetProcess Developers Portal
    REST: Custom Fields array should be always represented as JSON
    REST: Project Teams support:  ‘ProjectMembers’ property for ‘project’ resource added

    Other Fixed Bugs

    Idle timeout disabled. After a long idle time,  TargetProcess resumes quickly.
    Search not working for UTF-8

    TargetProcess on-demand accounts will be upgraded to v.2.21.15 next week-end.

    New Plugins SDK Released!

    New Plugins SDK based on Event-Driven Architecture and has strong API. Now it’s easy to create new plugins with your own UI in TargetProcess.

    Kanban Board Improvements.

    Looking to make TargetProcess more human friendly, we added avatars to Kanban Board in v.2.21.11. Now you can see faces and who works on what. Tags are shown right there on the cards as well.

    kanban_cards

    Actually, you can see just one tag, the other tags are displayed in a tooltip.

    kanban_card_tooltip

    In the future, you’ll be able to edit avatars and tags right from the Kanban Board.

    Fixed Bugs

    • Impossible to change status of any entity in Internet Explorer 9.
    • Task Board doesn’t work for many projects
    • XSS. Important security fix.
    • Comments are not loaded after moving to General tab from any other one.

    With 2.21.9 version we release a more stable and extended read-only REST API to all customers.

    A new minor feature appears in Task Board: user and project contexts are saved for all the filter settings last applied to Task Board. Now it’s easy to have Task Board open and filtered by previously selected criteria.
    task-board-filter1

    Also, we improved performance further:  now all pop-ups on the lists load upon request.

    Fixed Bugs

    • [REST] Fix custom report generation with too nested ‘(‘ (#34195)
    • [REST] Do not return collections by default (#34185)

    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.

    redesigned-userbar2

    Iteration names are now shown in Release/Iteration column in inner lists (for user stories). Previously, only Release names were shown in this column.

    iteration

    Performance has been improved for Allocations and Assignments shown in lists.

    Fixed Bugs

    • Duplicate bugs on task board
    • Remove “Add Milestone” link from top Add menu
    • Load Report: rename Load column to Allocated
    • HTML Source Tab For Comments

    Today v.2.21.7 has been released to our customers.

    Email Notification Templates

    In this version we introduce a new feature: possibility to edit subject and body of email notifications.

    Now you can create custom content in HTML or plain text, preview the draft and go back quickly to the edit form.

    At any time you can reset the template back to the default one,  used previously.

    email-template

    Improved Performance

    In 2.21.7  performance for all the lists has been slightly improved as we added extra caching and cut down on db requests.

    Read-only REST Services

    The long anticipated read-only REST services are coming in this release as well! Check our REST getting started, overview and complete REST API reference. REST API will be improved based on your feedback. Join TargetProcess developers group to ask questions and provide feedback.

    Task Creator Plugin: User Story Template

    This plugin works as a template for user stories. Though not exactly a template, it creates sets of tasks on the fly. See how:

    taskcreator_screen

    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.

    Application Root URL is now used for email notifications only (for TargetProcess on-site).

    app_root_url

    Now this link is used in email notifications only. No application links depend on it anymore.

    New option in ‘Customize’ menus: show/hide Total sums

    You can now disable/enable the Show Totals option in lists. With Show Total turned off, lists are generated much faster.

    show_totals2

    Fixed Bugs

    #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
