Updates: Squish Version 5 (current)

[2012 July 10] Release of Squish 5.2.1

  • The "Add Attachment" interface has been redesigned to make it easier to insert attachments. When selecting attachments, you no longer need to press the "Attach" button each time, they are automatically uploaded. You can also select more than one attachment at a time, and drag files onto your browser window to attach them. Note that these features are not available for IE6/7, and are limited to one file at a time on IE8/9.
  • When updating issues from a search, you are now taken back to the page you were on before, instead of the first page of the search results.
  • An RSS feed has been added for the Timeline.
  • It is now possible to generate a new private user key, used for RSS feed links and the API.
  • A minor visual refresh, including more consistency in element spacing and margins, and several new themes.
  • Issues are now checked in the background for modifications by other users. If another user modifies an issue while you have it open, a message will be displayed along with a link to reload the issue.
  • An option to "Save" an issue (update the issue and return to the bottom of the page) is now available. Holding Shift while pressing the "Update Issue" button changes it to "Save Issue".

[2011 November 27] Release of Squish 5.2

Project Timeline
A new way to visualize activity on a project in an ordered manner! The Project Timeline shows updated bugs, comments, wiki page edits, issue resolutions, etc. broken down by date. Users are able to filter this list based on which "event" types you want to see (e.g. only show me resolved issues during this time).
Related Issues
Squish will keep track of issues that link to each other. For example, if issue #3 links to issue #5 in the description or any of the comments, issue #5 will display that issue #3 is related to it, even though there is no direct link in the issue itself.
Workflow Improvements
First and foremost, workflows can now be automatically run when issues are submitted. For instance, a workflow may triage all issues matching some criteria and automatically assign them to a particular user. Workflows may now also be placed in the "action bar" for an issue, alongside the Update and Notify buttons, giving common workflows greater exposure and "first-class" status. Finally, a special (Previous User) value was added to Assigned To actions, allowing workflows to reassign issues to the previous user. This will facilitate conversational workflows, where an issue is passed back and forth.
Search Ranking
Search results are now ranked by keyword matches, and display a relevance indicator.
Lost Content Warning
Squish will now warn you when trying to leave an issue with unsaved changes.
