bugzilla.mozilla.org post-upgrade report

[Myk Melez]

Last night we upgraded bugzilla.mozilla.org to the latest CVS version of
Bugzilla (bug 103885) and the latest stable version of MySQL (77335).
The upgrade took longer than expected but was otherwise successful, and
it has given us a bunch of fixes and a few enhancements. A partial list
of changes is appended below, and the following Bonsai query will give
you a complete list of changes since the last upgrade:

http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsquery.cgi?treeid=default&module=Bugzilla&branch=HEAD&branchtype=match&sortby=Date&date=explicit&mindate=09%2F15%2F2001+00%3A34%3A00&maxdate=11%2F07%2F2001+20%3A00%3A00&cvsroot=%2Fcvsroot

We also uncovered a few regressions (109048, 109138, 109240) that we are
in the process of fixing. File a bug and cc: me on it if you experience
any unusual behavior or run into new problems with bugzilla.mozilla.org
(query performance problems, UI glitches, software errors, security
holes, etc.) over the next few days.

Partial List of Fixes and Enhancements:

1. Improvements to OS support (107672). Windows XP has been added
(75778), Macintosh OSes are detected better in some cases (52577), and
HP-UX is detected (69533).

2. Comments entered on the "edit attachment" page are now properly
word-wrapped on submission (97784).

3. The bug list styles rows by severity (104247).

4. Comments can be referenced via anchored URLs (71840).

5. You can query fields that "changed from" some value on the boolean
chart (91486).

6. Querying for bugs by both "attachment status" and "attachment is
obsolete" flag works correctly (99716), as does querying for bugs with
attachments that have multiple statuses (97947).

7. Email gets sent to users who can access a secure bug because they are
its reporter, assignee, QA contact, or on the CC list but are not in the
security group to which the bug is restricted (97469).

8. The bug list includes a link for emailing all QA contacts on the page
(106315).

9. The "create attachment" page has been rewritten with support for
auto-detecting the content type. The new version also allows you to
flag old attachments as obsolete and comment on the bug at the same time
(98602).

10. A host of improvements to the "show dependency tree" page, including
the ability to specify the depth to which you would like the tree to
recurse (104652, 97469, 104340, 30480, 83058).
