[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.
