JCR 0.7.2 final released

JCR 0.7.2 is now available.

JCR is a web application for performing and managing formal code reviews. It can be used for reviews of any type of source code, although it has some special smarts for reviewing Java projects, and for managing large code reviews. JCR has many features to make large code reviews as fast and convenient as possible. These include fast navigation through files and comments, several ways of presenting comments for inspection, drill-down into referenced Java classes (for Java reviews only, of course), and the ability to view comments made on the same file in earlier reviews.

This version adds support for email notifications. JCR can now be configured to email reviewers when the project is put into the Review state, and to email comment action owners when the project is put into the Post-review state. Email subjects and contents can be customised using configured templates. Thanks to Ioannis Oikonomou for design and code contributions.

Other changes include the ability to view the Subversion commit log for each file, explicit allocation of reviewers to projects, bulk deletion of files from review projects, and support for running under Windows. Displaying of files and file lists has been sped up, particularly in larger review projects, and there is the usual batch of bug fixes (plus the addition of a few bugs to be fixed in the next release, no doubt).

Version 0.7.2 requires a schema change, and also requires configuration file changes if you want to use email notifications. These can be done automatically after the upgrade, or manually if you prefer - see the CHANGES file for details.
