GForge v19.1 Released!
We’re happy to announce our second GForge release for 2019 is available! v19.1 adds a number of new features and comes with a number of bug fixes.
Getting Started with GForgeNext
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:
-
- There is a new configuration option that will tell GForge to enforce the committer is currently assigned to the ticket associated with the commit.
- 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.
