New Release of Agilo for Scrum

Keeping up with our goal of releasing every two months, we are proud to announce a new version of Agilo Pro 1.3.1 (and the Agilo Open Source edition).

New features and changes:

Trac 0.12 support

Agilo is now compatible with Trac 0.12, while keeping compatibility with Trac 0.11.X. While we're pretty confident that all basic operations work, we'd like to see some more real-world testing before we declare that feature as 'production ready'. Agilo with Trac 0.12 is currently slower than Trac 0.11.

Remember backlog settings

Agilo Pro now remembers your filter settings in the backlog and the whiteboard so if you switch to another page, you don't have to configure the filters again

Furthermore, Agilo Pro remembers if you looked at a sprint using the whiteboard or the traditional sprint backlog and when you select a sprint in the left navigation, it'll directly use that view instead of always going to the traditional sprint backlog.

Include planned tickets in global backlogs

Global backlogs now have an option to include 'planned' tickets (which have their sprint and/or milestone set). Check the backlog admin for this option.

WikiText in custom fields

Agilo can now use wiki formatting in ticket fields. To configure that, change add this line in the file trac.ini in the [ticket-custom] section: my_field.format = wiki

Please note that you need at least Trac 0.11.3

Additional changes and bugfixes

  • Pro: Tasks created in the Whiteboard now also copy attributes from the story/bug like on the backlog.
  • 'Show only my items' filter is disabled if user is not logged in
  • Pro: Fix bad error message in Whiteboard if user has not enough permissions
  • Fix display of favicon in Internet Explorer
  • Fix email address hiding in the ticket detail view (when the user has no EMAIL_VIEW permission, only the local part of the email address will be displayed)

How to Update

  • Download the new version from the tools page and unpack the zip file so you have a binary_agilo-<version-number>_PRO-py<your python version>.egg file.
  • Create a backup of your Agilo environment folder and your database (if you use sqlite, the database is just a file in your environment).
  • Install the new version of Agilo: easy_install binary_agilo-... (you might want to do that with the sudo command on Linux)
  • If you used 'trac-admin deploy', you need to redeploy the static files (if you don't know what 'trac-admin deploy' does, just ignore it, it's just an additional optimization)
  • Make sure you and the other users empty their browser cache before visiting the site.

More information about upgrading can be found in our upgrade guide
