  • localisation bundles for chinese (Taiwan),
  • support PostgreSQL databases up to and including version 8.1,
  • sorting on the "Created By" and "Modified By" attributes,
  • import issues from a Bugzilla installation,
  • import issues from a Jira installation,
  • support for deleting issues,
  • deleted users can now be reused (reactivated),
  • search results in RSS/ATOM format,
  • users can now quickly (one click, no search required) assign themselves to an issue,
  • complete rework of the dependency editor for enhanced usability,
  • SMTP authentication support,
  • show file size in the attachment tab,
  • and much more, solving a lot of known issues from previous releases.
