Re: [Mantisbt-dev] Insert the Version values from outside

[Dirk B. <bro...@tz...>]

Thanks.

I've used the Mantis API.

We've now a Version called "next Release" in each project.
When you resolve a bug you select the "next Release" and when you deploy 
the jar with ant, our build script calles a php script with the "release 
name" witch renames the "next Release" to "release name" and sets set 
released property to true. Then the php script inserts a new "next 
Release" version with the released property=false....

and it works great :-) now the mantis change log has automated version 
numbers

(and the developer how fixes the bug must not know the next release 
number...)

I think Mantis comes over us :-) step by step....
