[Mantisbt-dev] Merry Christmas and Happy New Release!!!

[Victor B. <vi...@fu...>]

[This is a copy of the announcement sent on
man...@li...]
 
Ho, Ho, Ho!!!
 
The 0.18.0 official release is finally available.  It has been a long
wait since 0.17.5, but it is worth it.  This release contains literally
hundreds, if not thousands, of changes.  Upcoming releases will
hopefully follow a quicker release cycle now that we are back on track.
This marks the first stable release of Mantis with a completely
refactored API library.  All the API files are in the core/ directory
should you wish to examine them in more detail.
 
Below is the change log which includes the changes in each of the
intermediate alpha releases.  The changes included here are those that
are done since 0.17.5.  It is recommended that all users upgrade to
0.18.0, since 0.17.x will no longer be supported.  This is in addition
to the fact that 0.18.0 contains tons of new features, that you should
all benefit from.
 
We would like to take this chance to thank all users and developers who
have contributed in this major release.  This is in terms of reporting
bugs, requesting features, translating, fixing bugs, developing
features, .etc.  We consider this as a landmark in the development of
Mantis which takes us from being a "Beta" product to "Production/Stable"
quality product.
 
Regards,
Mantis Team
