o Enhancement #11451 (Track-Hacks): Default bug ticket name (related to test case) too long
It is now possible to customize the summary for new tickets created from failing test cases.
In the [testmanager] section of the trac.ini file, you can specify:
ticket_summary_option: How to generate the ticket summary. Options are:
full_path:
the default behavior. The summary will contain a complete path in the catalogs tree, with the names of the catalogs from the root to the failing test case.
last_n_catalogs:
only the last specified number of catalogs in the path will be used to form the summary.
The number of catalogs to use must be specified using the 'ticket_summary_num_catalogs' property.
empty:
the generated summary will be empty.
fixed_text:
the specified text will be used as the ticket summary. The text to be used must be specified using the 'ticket_summary_text' property.
ticket_summary_separator: The string to be used to separate catalog names
in the generated summary.
Two sample configurations follow:
[testmanager] ticket_summary_option = fixed_text ticket_summary_text = Failed test case:
[testmanager] ticket_summary_option = last_n_catalogs ticket_summary_num_catalogs = 2 ticket_summary_separator = ->
o Enhancement #11462 (Trac-Hacks): List "Root Catalogs".

In the test plan view, now a traffic light is displayed next to each test catalog node, with the aggregated (worst) status of all the sub-tree.
o Enhancement #10907 (Trac-Hacks): Custom execution order for test cases.
Test cases can now be organized in catalogs with the order of your choice. You can also easily drag and drop test cases from one catalog to another.

This release makes the plugins compatible with Trac 1.0.
Since the release of Trac 1.0, I had to split the plugins code into two versions:

All the code still works with Python 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7. All database backends are still supported.
To build from the source, refer to the updated BUILD.txt file.

Release 1.5.1 (2012-08-12):
This is somewhat of a major release, in that it includes several new interesting features and many bug fixes. See the list below for more details.
In addition to that, I realized a VIDEO TUTORIAL showing out the main features of this Test Manager, to help new and existing users take confidence with recent changes, new features and so on.
Check the tutorial on YouTube : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIi3QMT0rT4
Also the trac-hacks user manual has been restructured, updated and enriched with the recent changes and features.
o Enhancement #353771 (SourceForge ): Time tracking capability.
This is now possible by means of the enhancements to the tabular views of both test catalogs and test plans and the addition of a custom field. See the comments to the feature request and the video tutorial, where this customization example is fully explored.
o Enhancement #3537704 (SourceForge ): Possibility to select columns for the table view.
This is now possible from the administration panel.
I also added an interesting feature that allows for adding a statistical row to the test catalog and test plan tabular views, with the option to have the sum, average or count of the values in any column, being it a standard or a custom property of test cases or catalogs.
This feature is also used to realize the feature #353771 above. See the video tutorial for an interesting use of this one to track test execution effort estimation of an entire test plan and compare it to actual execution time.
o Enhancement #3537700 (SourceForge ): Option to select table view as default view.
This is now possible from the administration panel.
o Enhancement #3537696 (SourceForge ): Possibility to change test plans.
This is now possible by means of several new actions available on test cases:
- On a test case definition page, you have a new action button to add the test case to a plan. A dialog box appears showing you the suitable plans (the ones not containing all test cases).
- On a test case instance (a test case inside a plan) page, you have a new action button to remove the test case from the plan.
- On a test case instance (a test case inside a plan) page, in case the plan is containing an old snapshot of the test case and you wish to update its text description to the latest version, you have a new action button to do that.
o Fixed Ticket #8932 (Track-Hacks): The test plan tabular view has been enhanced to also
show test case full text description
o Fixed Ticket #10131 and #10217 (Track-Hacks): Deleting a Test Case, deleting Test Catalogs containing Test items.
This only happened on PosgreSQL.
o Fixed some bugs that I found ad which were not reported:
- The quick search in test catalogs was not working.
- Indentation of test cases in tabular views for both catalogs and plans was incorrect.
- Localization (i.e. translation) did not work for some parts of the Administration panel, the Statistical charts page and several dialog boxes.
- Setting a test case status using the pop-up traffic light menu did not work on test plan tabular view.
- Some more I can't recall :D
Release 1.4.11 (2012-06-03):
The data referential integrity in case of test catalog, test case and test plan deletion has been enhanced.
Deleting a test catalog now also deletes all of the contained sub-catalogs, test cases and test plans, as well as the corresponding status change history.
o Fixed Ticket #9857 (Track-Hacks): Deleted test plan is still shown in Test Stats
o Fixed Ticket #9953 (Track-Hacks): Changing a testcase custom field value gives and error

o Fixed Ticket #9530 (Track-Hacks): Expand all / Collapse all is not running.
This only happened with the Agilo plugin installed.
o Fixed Ticket #9754 (Track-Hacks): Setting test result seemingly succeeds with expired login.
Now operations such as setting a test case status and updating a custom field,
when failing will display a dialog box with an error message.
o Fixed Ticket #9758 (Track-Hacks): Can't delete Test Case in v1.4.9.
Release 1.4.9 (2012-01-04):
o Enhancement #8958 (Track-Hacks): An ability to export test data to CSV format needed.
You can now export to CSV a test catalog or a test plan.
In the test catalog and test plan pages you will find an "Export ..." button.
The export format is designed to eventually import the stuff back into another Test Manager plugin evironment, as soon as a compatible import feature will be implemented :D (the current import feature is simpler than that.)
o Enhancement #9287 (Track-Hacks): New browser tab for existing testcases. Now you have an option in trac.ini to choose what
to do when clicking on a test case in the catalog/plan.
The default is to NOT open it in a new window, but you can change that from the admin panel,
under Testmanage->Settings, or directly in the trac.ini file like this:
[testmanager] testcase.open_new_window = Trueo Fixed Ticket #9297 (Track-Hacks): Can't print testplan table overview. There was a problem with the default print css from Trac.
o Fixed Ticket #9510 (Track-Hacks): TestStats for single Testplans at 1.4.8 not working - patched.

The only drawback is that upgrade is only supported from 1.4.7, not from previous versions.
o Enhancement #9077 (Track-Hacks): Ability to separate and report on test plans by product
o Enhancement #9208 (Track-Hacks): Test plan with only selected test cases from the catalog, take snapshot version of test cases.
This is an important one. Many users were asking for a way of including only selected test cases into
a Test Plan, for different reasons. Now you have it :D
o Added French language catalog! Thanks to someone who doesn't want to be cited :D
o Added Object change history view. It shows the change history of standard and, more interestingly, custom properties of any test artifact. o Fixed Ticket #9141 (Track-Hacks): Update installation 1.4.6 -> 1.4.7 not possible
o Fixed Ticket #9167 (Track-Hacks): installation of 1.4.7 with postgres database not possible
