highlights from the bugzilla 4.2 upgrade:

changes to bugzilla search

bugzilla’s searching mechanics got a complete rewrite between 4.0 and 4.2.  see this blog post for more details.

dashboards

david lawrence [:dkl] has worked hard on bringing user and product dashboards to bmo, and has done an amazing job.

• user dashboard
• product dashboard

create attachments from the clipboard

you can now create attachments by pasting content into a text field.

restricted commenting

some bug reports are inundated with comments that make it difficult for developers to conduct technical discussions.
restricting comments provides the ability for users in the editusers group to prevent users who are not in the editbugs from making additional comments.

guidelines

• restrictions may be applied to bugs which are subject to high volumes of off topic comments, or bugs which contain high volumes of violations of bugzilla etiquette guidelines.
• restrictions should not be used as a preemptive measure against comments which have not yet occurred.
• restrictions should not be used to privilege editbugs users over other users in valid disputes/discussions.

impact

• users who are not in the editbugs group will not be able to comment on the bug, nor will they be able to change the value of any field.
• all users will still be able to CC themselves to the bug.
• all users will still be able to vote for the bug.

bugzilla.mozilla.org 4.2 upgrade

following months of planning and hard work from both the BMO and IT teams, we will be upgrading bugzilla.mozilla.org to bugzilla version 4.2, with a tentative date of the 8th of march.

test drive it at https://bugzilla-dev.allizom.org/

the database is a sanitised snapshot of the production database so should be useful for testing to make sure the information is displayed properly and changeable. being that is it sanitised, private bugs, products, groups, attachments, and comments will not be present, and some features which rely on groups will not function.

email is disabled on this instance, which results in the normal account creation/verification process being unavailable. however you can use persona to create an account if required.

please point your various scripts and third party applications that use the XMLRPC/JSON API at the test server to make sure they continue to function properly.
a test instance of the BzAPI is available for testing your tools that need it – https://api-dev.bugzilla.mozilla.org/allizom/

as part of this upgrade, bugzilla.mozilla.org will be migrating from its current home in the PHX data-centre to shiny new infrastructure in the SCL3 data-centre. we will be running on a larger cluster with faster servers.

there are also numerous new features/fixes that are part of the upstream version 4.2, see the release notes for more information.

we are asking for everyone to get involved as much as possible with testing and feedback. file any bug reports in the production bugzilla system in the bugzilla.mozilla.org product.

thanks,

the bmo team
