New and changed features in JTrac 2.2.0

You can download this version in the Files section. It comes complete with a Jetty server to get it up and running quickly on port 8888. You can also use the war file (located in the webapps directory of the download) in a servlet container of your choice.

New Features and fixes

• New minimum system requirement: A Servlet 3.1 container (like Tomcat 8.5 or Jetty 9) running on Java 8 is now the baseline configuration. Both of these have been out for so long that this should not cause anyone problems.
• New Feature: The authenticity of outgoing emails can now be verified via DKIM. See "Setup" in https://github.com/markenwerk/java-utils-mail-dkim for more information on that.
• New Feature: Markdown syntax is supported in the details and comments fields, including auto-linking of URLs. This addresses [#65]
• New Feature: Manage a list of links to external site or to previous searches on the dashboard. Lifted from the fork at https://github.com/LibreNico/jtrac
• Translations in Ukrainian, Hungarian, Turkish, Arabic, Slovenian, Czech, Korean, Norwegian and Swedish have been added.
• Added an option to show relative timestamps like "2 weeks ago", "4 hours ago" and "moments ago", rather than absolute dates and times
• Search results can be bookmarked [#51]
• Tickets can be imported from Excel
• Passwords are hidden from view
• Lots of bug fixes and small improvements
• Text and image attachments are opened in a new tab/window instead of being downloaded
• The number of items displayed in the item list is now configurable.
• In the list view, an additional column "Last Change" has been added that shows the date of the last change (e.g., when a comment has been added)
• Replaced Apache DBCP with HikariCP, a more modern connection pool with better performance
• Boolean settings have a nice-looking toggle UI instead of a text field with "true" and "false", and integer settings use HTML number fields. Date input fields use HTML date fields instead of YUI. [#171]
• Fix [#161] and [#162]
• Auto-link ticket numbers so that ROUTE-66 is automatically turned into a link to that ticket
• The unit tests were migrated from JUnit 3/Selenium to JUnit 4/HtmlUnit.
