[Daniel A. E. <ze...@ze...>]

Welcome to this third BUGS Newsletter!

In this issue:
    * Development status update
    * December release: BUGS 1.7.2
    * BUGS 2 "new feature" highlight: Calendar(s)

The BUGS newsletter is a service we provide so you can easily stay 
up-to-date with the latest new information regarding "BUGS - the Bug 
Genie". The newsletter will be published once every month.


Development status update
----------
BUGS 2 is shaping up to be a real winner. This last week we saw a boost 
in development, and next week will hopefully be just as productive.

Unfortunately (?) we must also dedicate some time to work on the next 
1.x release, 1.7.2, which will be released this month. As some of you 
noticed, we cleaned up many of the issues reported at our bug reporting 
site, http://bugs.c3pc.com/bugs/ . This gave us a good overview of where 
we're at, and allowed us to focus on a few forgotten issues. To those of 
you who haven't noticed yet, we have also provided a quick search link 
for "BUGS 2 feature requests" as well as a similar quick link to see 
fixed issues. These links will hopefully help you when you are looking 
to see if your favourite feature is suggested or not. It's not too late 
to suggest features for BUGS 2 yet!


December relase: BUGS 1.7.2
----------
As mentioned above, we will release an updated version of our succesful 
1.7 series, this month. This release will introduce an updated "Force 
email notifications" setting, where users will receive emails even if 
they have not visited the bug - if this setting is turned on. This is 
great for projects with lazy users, or when you just forget it once in a 
while. Let us know how you like this feature.

1.7.2 will also feature fixes for recently reported bugs and issues.

* Also notice that 1.7.2 will feature important security fixes *
This release fixes important security issues, and is a highly 
recommended upgrade.


BUGS 2 "new feature" highlight: Calendar(s)
----------
With big projects, it's nice to have some kind of timeline available. 
BUGS 2 will feature a calendar which will integrate nicely into the 
different project roadmaps and scheduled milestones. Calendar events can 
be planned, and shared with others, as well as public (and private) 
tasks. The new frontpage will inform you of scheduled tasks and calendar 
items.


BONUS: For those of you who read this far, here is a picture that shows 
how far we're come with BUGS 2. While this is not the most revealing 
picture we've released, it's a sneak peek that shows of some of BUGS 2 
new features.

Let us know what you think.


Sincerely,
- the BUGS team
