Description:
 WebIssues is a system supporting team
collaboration across the Internet. It can be used
for storing bugs and other information with
customizable attributes, comments and file
attachments. The server can be installed on any
host with PHP and MySQL or PostgreSQL. The client
is a native KDE application.

WebIssues is mainly aimed at small development
teams which don't need to set up an elaborate bug
tracking system. It is easy to deploy and
customize. It is also more comfortable to use than
common web-based interfaces.

I'm awaiting comments, suggestions and bug
reports. Visit http://webissues.mimec.org/ for
more information if you are interested in this
project.

Changelog:
 Client - Version 0.8.4

The client has a greatly improved issue history
view which combines comments, attachments and
changes into a single view. The comment editor has
also been improved and now it's a separate window.
Finally, uploading and downloading attachments is
more comfortable now and a progress bar is
displayed during the transfer.

Server - Version 0.8.2

The new server can now store attachments as files,
not only in the database. This improves
performance for large attachments. A script which
updates the database allows to smoothly upgrade
from version 0.8.1.

Client - Version 0.8.3

The main feature implemented in this release is
filtering issues shown in the folder view and
quick searching by issue name. This makes working
with folders containing a lot of issues much
easier. Commonly used filters can be saved and
quickly selected from a dropdown list. This
release also introduces a lot of smaller
improvements and bug fixes.

Client - Version 0.8.2

This release contains many functional and
usability improvements of the WebIssues client
application. Columns in the folder view can be
customized and attribute values can be displayed
directly in the list. Folder contents is cached
for faster updating. The main window can be docked
in the system tray. Password can be remembered and
the application can automatically restore
connection at startup or when restoring a session.

Client - Version 0.8.1

This version features a complete user interface
for defining attribute types. Another new feature
is handling links to other issues, comments and
attachments in both attribute values and comments.
Links to external URLs and emails are also
handled. It's also possible to quickly find an
issue, comment or attachment with a given ID.

This release completes the first stage of
development making all basic features complete and
ready to use.

Server - Version 0.8.1

The new version supports both MySQL and PostgreSQL
databases. Now it should be possible to install it
on most hosting environments. Another important
feature of the 0.8.1 version is that the schema
version is now stored in the database, which makes
it easier to update the database in the future.

Client and Server - Version 0.8.0

This is the first release of WebIssues. The most
important features are implemented and the entire
system is usable, however it is in an early stage
of development and a lot of work has to be done.
