Better Navigation – While we’ve received a lot of positive feedback on getting around in GForge, we’ve answered calls to improve navigation.

Highlights in GForge v19.1

Role-based ACLs for Subversion (SVN) and Git – GForge now supports role-based access controls for both Subversion (SVN) and Git. This means you can control what areas in your repository users have access to based on their role in the project. In SVN this means you can limit a roles access to certain paths in your SVN repository (e.g. write access to anything in /branches and read-only access to /trunk). For Git this works similarly where GForge allows you specify which specific branches a user has access to.

Code Reviews in Subversion (SVN) – Beginning with GForge v18.0, you could perform code reviews in Git just fine. GForge now supports the same functionality using SVN.

Embedded Video Support – You can now embed online videos in many places in GForge including tickets, wiki entries, project homepages, etc. This support is included anywhere where the GForge WYSISYG editor is used.

Commit Integrity – When it comes to commits GForge tries to stay out of your way. One example is you can associate a commit to any ticket that is part of a project you belong to but the ticket doesn’t have to reside in the same project. While that can be handy, in some cases you need deeper control so in this release we’ve added two features ensuring commit integrity:

    1. There is a new configuration option that will tell GForge to enforce the committer is currently assigned to the ticket associated with the commit.
    2. Another new configuration option will tell GForge to enforce the repository being committed to is the same project the associated ticket is part of.

The v19.1 ChangeLog will help you understand the changes you can expect.

Just a reminder for customers still running GForge Advanced Server (v6.4.5 and prior) we are planning on officially dropping support in October of 2020. Please feel free to reach out to us for a free consultation on the planning and upgrade paths.

Highlights in GForge v19.0

Sprint Retrospectives – For Agile and Scrum teams GForge already lets you create, track and manage the burndown of your sprints. In 19.0 can now assess and reflect on sprints with Sprint Retrospectives. Retrospectives include a report of key metrics and then allow you to provide a narrative to identify what worked well, what challenges you had and come up with actions and ideas going forward.

Tickets: Related Items – A challenge for all teams is reducing duplicated work. When creating new tickets, GForge will now identify related items allowing you to quickly determine if you are working on a problem that has already been identified and possibly fixed. GForge can show its own related tickets as well as possible matches on StackOverflow.

Offline Installation/Upgrades – If you need to install or upgrade GForge in a secure location in your network on a host that doesn’t have outbound internet connectivity GForge now supports offline installations and upgrades.

Moderated LDAP/SSO Accounts – You can now configure GForge to send new accounts registered via LDAP/SSO to a queue where they await formal approval by a GForge Administrator.

Organization – For customers with large project portfolios you can now organize your project into organizations. Organizations also provide the organization a place where they can collaborate across projects inside the organization.

GForge v18.1 Released!

Just a little over a month ago we ushered a completely revamped GForge platform dubbed GForgeNext and today we are happy to announce the release of v18.1.  Please remember we have changed our version numbering to reflect the year and the number of the release. Since this is the second release of 2018 this version coincides to v18.1 which should help customers quickly know how many versions behind they may be.

The biggest change in 18.1 is the addition of SVN commit hooks. This means that all customers using both Git and SVN can safely upgrade to this version. For our remaining customers still using CVS we will be adding that support in v19.0 due out the first quarter of next year.

  • The v18.1 ChangeLog will help you understand the changes you can expect.
  • The GForgeNext FAQ will answer most of your questions but don’t hesitate to send additional questions.
  • We are still encouraging customers to reach out to us for a free consultation on the planning and upgrade process. If we don’t hear form you we will be reaching out to all our customers over the coming week.
