A new year, a new release. GForge 4.5.6 continues to tweak out the 4.5
branch with a handful of nice additions.
You can download here:
http://gforge.org/frs/?group_id=1
The most obvious changes in 4.5.6 are:
1)
... [More]
Single-host install no longer requires 3-4 domains for basic
installs.
2) New gforge-install.sh script which will move all the files
into place and apply some regexes to them and take away quite a bit of
the pain of installation.
3) Plugin manager page on site admin tab. This lets you choose plugins
that are in the plugins folder and activate them
4) Config manager page on the site admin tab. This lets you turn
on/off various bits in the local.inc instead of manually editing it.
5) Changed the release script to purge out debian-specific stuff so as
to reduce confusion. Also deleted old docs from doc mgr and Ognyan has
added a note to the gforge PDF Manual to point people at the INSTALL
file. All the duplicated and outdated configs and install guides were
getting too confusing.
6) INSTALL is updated quite a bit to support the gforge-install.sh
script and links to 'unofficial' packages of things like JPGraph
1.9.1, Perl IPC Run, and ViewVC. These packages can be hard to find on
the internet and gforge relies on them, so they are packaged here:
http://gforge.org/frs/?group_id=143
7) mod_auth_gforge has been tweaked to version .5.9.3 and tons of
different packages have been built for a variety of platforms here:
http://gforge.org/frs/?group_id=128
8) Quick jump navigation - if you're a member of several projects,
this menu in the top of the page will show all your projects and the
tools inside each project so you can jump around easily.
9) Quick Browse returns to tracker. Yes, the query builder is
powerful, but some people still want the easy option of just browsing
without having to build a query.
New Plugins:
------------
Wiki Plugin:
Download here:
http://gforge.org/frs/download.php/164/wiki-0.92.tar.gz
SVNTracker plugin created - this will link SVN commits to the tracker
Download here:
http://gforge.org/frs/?group_id=139
SVN Commit Email and CVS Commit Email plugins released. These plugins
can be chosen on a project-by-project basis so that commit email
notifications will be set up automatically by the gforge cron jobs.
Download here:
http://gforge.org/frs/?group_id=139
GForge 4.6 and 5.0
------------------
This should be getting near to the end of the development on the 4.5
branch. Most work will be in HEAD from now on as we get ready for a
4.6 release later this year.
And we are already charging ahead on GForge 5 development. GF5 is a
100% reimplementation with PHP5, Propel, and a totally modular plugin
architecture. More will be announced soon. [Less]

Tom Copeland has been maintaining the list of public gforges for years now and I've augmented it a bit with a spider that crawls google looking for gforge installs. I also made it insert into a database and I'll be adding a page to the site soon so
... [More]
we can easily see the list.
The spider crawls google MSN looking for gforge keywords, then tests each domain looking for a couple known files that exist in gforge installations. If it passes the test, we then rip the front page looking for stats information.
current=# select sum(users_count) from gforge_sites ;
sum
--------
234093
(1 row)
current=# select sum(project_count) from gforge_sites ;
sum
------
8740
(1 row)
What would be REALLY interesting to know is how many sites we don't know about and how many are behind firewalls. I'm personally privvy to dozens of private forges with tens of thousands of users, so it would be interesting to know about the others are and what they're doing with them. [Less]

The usual survey comes up again: Should we take the time to rewrite GForge? Or is it a better idea to put time into new features on the old codebase?

The roadmap after GForge 4.5 is going to be about automation, visibility, and communication.
-Automation includes scripting and workflow.
-Visibility includes reporting on a project and personalized level
-Communication means
... [More]
improving the forums, lists, and chat capabilities that GForge has.
Each major release of GForge builds a powerful new feature on top of the last release. Going forward, we will be able to build on top of the 4.5 release and the CLI with new scripting and automation tools. Here's sort of a drawing of how things have progressed in the major releases:
5.0 Scripting, automation, and desktop app
4.5 CLI Tinderbox
4.0 SOAP
3.3 Refactor OO Foundation
Each major feature is a logical progression from the last, and with the next release, I think we'll really start to see true power users being
able to use GForge at the core of a real evelopment environment. [Less]

GForge 4.5 was released. After months of trying to squish every last bug, this will be the best release we've ever had.
It can be downloaded here:
http://gforge.org/frs/?group_id=1
Major improvements include:
Command Line
... [More]
Interface The unix-style interface to GForge uses the SOAP API to let you access, add, and update Bugs, Tasks, and File Releases. The CLI Project is always looking for enhancements, fixes, and feedback. http://gforge.org/projects/cli/
Tinderbox - This widely-known build tool has been integrated with a GForge plugin, allowing project admins to setup and activate tinderbox building for their projects and view the results through the tinderbox plugin in GForge. The Tinderbox Project is always looking for volunteers. http://gforge.org/projects/tinderbox/
More Powerful Tracker - Major enhancements in the tracker include powerful new querying capabilities, new bugzilla-like fields by default, a configurable template project, and tracker cloning.
MS Project Integration - A plugin has been developed for MS Project that allows it to synchronize tasks with GForge task manager subprojects. The MS Project Plugin is currently only available under a non-free license.
Other changes include:
Doc Mgr
-nested categories
-ability to really delete docs
-FTP upload of large docs (still stored in db, so
watch the bloat)
FRS
-FTP upload of large files
-Can move file to other release/package
-Reorg FRS to package/release/filename hierarchy
Mailman
-mailing lists are "privatized" automatically by a python script
that is executed at list creation time.
-Really delete mailing lists.
Project
-Project-level "Delete" function to properly purge a project
-Hide "admin" links if not an admin
-Link to "request membership" in a project, and approval
functions
CVS
-Basic stats finally completed
-cvstracker automatically set up for new installs
-tarballs cron script finally works
SVN
-Basic stats finally completed
-tarballs cron script finally works
Search
-Full-text indexing with tsearch2 on all existing
search functions new project-wide search. Does not
include searching any binary doc contents.
Tracker
-Configurable column display for browse
-"Copy" extra fields to any other tracker that you can admin
-Customizable "status" fields
-Build/save query screen
-Template for rendering "extra fields"
-download as .csv file
-New "extra field" types: "Multi-select" boxes and "Checkboxes"
-last_modified_date
-Field-level Permissions for different roles have been cleaned up
and enforced in Artifact.class. Submitter can attach
files & comments, but not change anything else. Tech can
delete files and change limited fields.
-Monitor entire tracker
-tracker_gateway.php worked on and activated
Task Mgr
-Configurable column display for browse
-last_modified_date
nss-pgsql
-Making support for this at the database level so we can do away
-with "local ldap" and still have instant unix perm changes.
Database
-Massive cleanup of pkeys throughout the database [Less]
