| <h4>Availability and Performance Improvements</h4> |
| <p>CollabNet has significantly improved performance and availability of |
| the SourceCast hosted service. SourceCast 1.1.0 is now deployed on an |
| enhanced network file storage system that provides improvements in file |
| sharing, caching and data access. With this new server-side configuration |
| CollabNet delivers significant improvements in availability and performance |
| of the SourceCast hosted service by:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Clustering data shared amongst a set of load balanced systems</li> |
| <li>Providing complete failover capabilities</li> |
| <li>Keeping data synchronized at all times</li> |
| <li>Simplifying backups</li> |
| <li>Providing access to authorized private networks</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h4>CVS version update</h4> |
| <p>SourceCast Release 1.1.0 uses the most current version of CVS (version |
| 1.11p1) as a base for SourceCast. All code enhancements from the previous |
| CVS version (1.11) have been included with this new version upgrade.</p> |

| <h4><a id="SourceCastVersionNumbers">SourceCast Version Numbers</a></h4> |
| <p>CollabNet uses the following convention for SourceCast version numbers to |
| indicate major, minor or maintenance releases. A release number is made up |
| of three sets of digits, for e.g., SourceCast <i>1.3.2</i>. If the release |
| number is 'SourceCast x.y.z' then <b>x</b>, <b>y</b> and <b>z</b> represent</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>x - major release number</li> |
| <li>y - minor release number</li> |
| <li>z - maintenance release number</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>The current release,2.0.0, is a major SourceCast release that succeeds all |
| releases in the 1.x.x line.</p> |
| <h4><a id="browser" name="browser">Supported Client Tools</a></h4> |
| <dl> |
| <dt>Supported Browsers</dt> |
| <dd> SourceCast is designed to be usable with almost any browser or configuration, |
| but the visual formatting will be most sophisticated in browsers with quality |
| support for the W3C's Cascading Style Sheets technology (CSS-1, 1996). These |
| browsers include: |
| <ul> |
| <li>All derivatives of the Mozilla project, including Mozilla 1.0, Netscape |
| Communicator versions 6.0 and above, Galeon, and others</li> |
| <li>Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 5.0 and above</li> |
| <li>Konqueror versions 2.1 and above</li> |
| <li>Opera 5.0 and above</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p><strong>Note:</strong> The Netscape 4.x series of browsers has poor support |
| for CSS, and receives only a simplified version of the style sheet apparent |
| in the browsers above. As a result, SourceCast's visual formatting in |
| Netscape 4.x is simpler than elsewhere. Note also that Netscape 4.x's |
| CSS support is dependent upon Javascript being enabled, so the formatting |
| will be especially plain if the user disables Javascript (or style sheets) |
| support.</p> |
| <p>Also, note that some browsers with incomplete or developmental support |
| for CSS will have difficulties presenting SourceCast unless the user disables |
| CSS. At this time, these browsers include:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>iCab</li> |
| <li>OmniWeb</li> |
| </ul> |
| </dd> |
| <dt>Supported CVS GUI Environment Clients</dt> |
| <dd>SourceCast 1.3.0i supports the following CVS GUI environment clients: |
| <table width="75%" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2"> |

| <tr> |
| <th>*Internationalization</th> |
| <td> Full internationalization of SourceCast to support localization for |
| multibyte character sets. All SourceCast tools are internationalized to |
| allow the use of the local language for collaboration. For general interoperability |
| the following items have not been internationalized: |
| <ul> |
| <li>project names</li> |
| <li>user names</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>Searching does not support multibyte characters in the 2.0.0 release. |
| This shall be addressed in a later release. </p> |
| <p>ViewCVS, for viewing source code trees, does not support multibyte |
| file names. </p> |
| <p>Regular expressions are not supported with multibyte characters. </p> |

| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <th>New Tool - Discussion Forums</th> |
| <td> Threaded discussions allow project members to hold discussions on topics |
| that are easy to follow. Discussions are automatically archived and easily |
| searched by topic, writers, date, and text within the discussion. |
| <p>New discussion items on My Start Page. Notifications of new discussion |
| items created in discussions that the user is subscribed to are displayed |
| on the user's Start Page.</p> |
| </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <th>Lookup window for user assignments in IssueZilla</th> |
| <td>IssueZilla can be configured to use a separate lookup window for locating |
| users when assigning issues. This is used for user assignments in such |
| fields as "assigned to", "cc:", and "QA contact".</td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <th>IssueZilla contacts can be read-only</th> |
| <td>IssueZilla can be configured so that the QA contact cannot be changed |
| by the user. In this configuration the QA contact is set based on the |
| component that the issue is assigned to.</td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <th>New version numbers span components</th> |

| entered into the configuration it is available for all components. It |
| is no longer necessary to configure the version numbers for each component |
| separately.</td> |

| <th>*Copy IZ issues between projects</th> |
| <td>An issue may be copied once from one project to another. Previously, |
| this function needed to be performed manually by creating a new issue |
| in the target project and entering all of the necessary data. This can |
| be used to move an issue by copying the issue and then closing the "old" |
| issue.</td> |

| <th>*Per project limits on email announcements</th> |
| <td> |
| <p>On a per project basis IssueZilla can be configured to send only summary |

| </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <th>*Configurable IssueZilla operating parameters</th> |

| <th>New reporting Interface</th> |
| <td>The reporting interface (that didn't work) has been replaced with a |
| new one that can be used to produce simple reports on issues. It includes |
| the ability to construct a table of issue counts or issue numbers with |
| rows and columns selected by the user. Filtering on text fields allows |
| for refinement of the results. From the results query lists, issues can |
| be navigated to directly.</td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <th>Failed query returns to query page</th> |
| <td>When there are no results from a query the user is returned to the query |
| page that they used to define the query and informed that there were no |

| <tr> |
| <th>Order of description/comments can be specified by the user</th> |
| <td>When viewing an issue the user may specify whether the description/comments |
| for the issue are displayed in newest to oldest (with the latest comment |
| at the top of the display) or oldest to newest order (with the original |
| description at the top of the display).</td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <th>Contextual navigation links</th> |
| <td>Contextual navigation links are used to indicate the project/sub-project |
| and tool that the user is currently using. These links can be used to |
| navigate easily between sub-projects and their parents. This feature is |
| sometimes referred to as project paths or breadcrumbs. </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <th>Better project organization</th> |
| <td>On the projects page, projects and sub projects can be seen together. |
| Sub projects are listed with their parents so that the full "path" to |
| a project can be seen, making them easier to navigate.</td> |

| <td>Documents in the file sharing area can be locked by the owner so that |
| other users can not make changes. Project Owners have editing rights to |
| all documents.</td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <th>Document copying</th> |
| <td>Documents may be copied either within the same folder or to a different |
| folder in the same project. </td> |
| </tr> |

| <h3><a id="known" name="known">Known Issues with SourceCast 2.0.0</a></h3> |
| <p>The following are known issues that may be encountered by users of SourceCast |
| Release 2.0.0.</p> |
| <h4>CVS Module</h4> |
| <ul> |
| <li> On some sites, the use of 'cvs admin -u' command causes the CVS server |
| to crash. Until this issue is addressed in the next release of SourceCast, |
| it is not recomended to use the 'cvs admin -u' command.</li> |
| <li> Japanese localized sites do not allow double-byte file names. This issue |
