Trac 0.7 'Fulci' Release Notes
==============================
May 18, 2004 (The 104th anniversary of Tonga becoming a British protectorate)
Edgewall Software proudly announces the immediate availability of our latest
release, Trac 0.7 'Fulci'.
Trac is a minimalistic web-based software project management and bug/issue
tracking system. It provides an interface to the Subversion revision control
systems, an integrated wiki, flexible issue tracking and convenient report
facilities.
Trac allows wiki markup in issue descriptions and commit messages, creating
links and useful structure between bugs, tasks, changesets, files and wiki
pages. A timeline view presents all project events in chronological order,
making tracking progress or getting an overview of a project easy.

What's New
----------
0.7 'Fulci' is an important release for the Trac project, and also brings the
largest number of improvements yet. It marks a big step towards the big
'1.0', some of the biggest changes being the introduction of a new database
format and the experimental stand-alone Trac daemon.
A summary of major changes for this release:
* Revised database format. (Requires manual upgrade).
* Trac stand-alone daemon, tracd (Experimental).
* Greatly improved browser.
* Many usability improvements.
* UTF-8 character encoding support.
* Wiki page attachments.
* Ticket attachments.
* Syntax coloring supporting >35 languages, with SilverCity or GNU Enscript.
* Better support for ReStructuredText.
* Logging support, including syslog and windows event log.
* Ticket email notification.
* Improved search facilities.
* Import tickets from Bugzilla (contributed by Mark Rowe).
* Import tickets from SourceForge (contributed by Dmitry Yusupov).
For a more complete list of improvements, see the ChangeLog at:
<http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/wiki/ChangeLog>
We'd also like to extend a warm welcome to a new member of the Trac Team,
Christopher Lenz - His work on templates and CSS has already added a nice
touch to this release.
