[Product Update] : MySQL enabled fixx and shiny new solomon screenshots

From this month on, we have decided to do a frequent (at least monthly) summary post highlighting key updates for our products

fixx

The big news for fixx this month is the 1.4 release, which comes with a new iPhone interface and updated permissions for projects.

The fixx documentation has been updated to include guidance on using MySQL as a database backend to your fixx installation. We will be adding more databases to the official documentation soon.

solomon

solomon development has been coming along great and we are almost ready to close out our alpha stage to prepare for a closed private beta. Ensure you sign-up for the beta if you want to get your hands on solomon early. Meanwhile, below are a few screenshots of solomon as it is currently.

[fixx release] fixx 1.4 released

Apologies to everyone as this is one week later than we originally planned to release, but we had some final minute show-stoppers that we had to resolve for 1.4. The highlights of this release are,

• a brand spanking new iPhone interface (which we have been sneaking in from 1.3 onwards)
• The ability to restrict users to certain projects a.k.a Private projects. To do this, you need to mark a project as restricted and explicitly add users to that project.
• Key bug fixes to the client and public interfaces.

Since 1.4 involves a significant upgrade to your database, please make sure you back-up your existing fixx installation before you attempt to upgrade.

Grab a copy or read the release notes.

fixx iPhone interface sneak preview

With fixx 1.4 just around the corner, I wanted to post a sneak preview of our new iPhone interface that we are introducing in fixx.

The initial iPhone interface focuses on 4 core functionality elements. You cannot do everything through the iPhone interface and we wanted to ensure that the features available suited the most common workflow scenarios when using a mobile device.

It is worth noting that this is only the first iteration of iPhone functionality to go into fixx, and future versions will be including additional functionality based on what our customers want. Head over to our forums to request an iPhone feature for fixx.

These are the core features of the iPhone interface in 1.4,

• Quick access to view activity and issues relevant to you (using your saved filters).
• Ability to search for issues.
• Ability to re-assign an issue to someone else.
• Ability to comment on an issue.
