Bugzilla 4.0.2 Stable Now Available.

October 6th, 2011 Comments off

Starting today new instances of Bugzilla will now be launched using version 4.0.2 stable.

For those who wish to upgrade see the release notes here: http://www.bugzilla.org/releases/4.0.2/release-notes.html

Changes Include:
This release fixes several security issues. See the Security Advisory for details.

  • In addition, the following important fixes/changes have been made in this release:
  • The Bug.create WebService method now throws an error if you pass a group name which doesn’t exist. In Bugzilla 4.0 and 4.0.1, this group name was silently ignored, leaving your bug unsecure if no other group applied. (Bug 653341)
  • Moving several bugs at once into another product displayed the same confirmation page again and again, and changes were never committed (regressed in 4.0). (Bug 663208)
  • Marking a bug as a duplicate now works in Internet Explorer 9. (Bug 656769)
  • importxml.pl no longer crashes when importing keywords (regressed in 4.0). (Bug 657707)
  • Data entered while reporting a new bug could be lost if you had to click the “Back” button of your web browser. (Bug 652427)
  • WebServices methods will return undefined bug fields as undefined instead of as an empty string. This change is consistent with how Bugzilla 4.2 behaves. (Bug 657561)
  • The XML-RPC interface now works with SOAP::Lite 0.711 and 0.712 under mod_perl. (Bug 600810)
  • LWP 6.00 and newer require Perl 5.8.8 and above. When installing this module using install-module.pl on a Perl installation older than 5.8.8, LWP 5.837 will be installed instead. (Bug 655912)
  • Viewing a bug report should be significantly faster when your installation has many custom fields. (Bug 634812)
