0.6.0
Bug fixed: Assignees get notified with an email if not selected otherwise.

New feature: Much improved information page about StructuredText with simple quick examples.
New feature: Temporarily uploaded file attachments are now stored inside the issue tracker instance instead of the global /temp_folder which should do away with some low level persistency errors in Zope2.7.x.

New feature: A new and improved Properties Wizard.

Bug fixed: Since Zope 2.5.x, when you add a ZCatalog it does not automatically create a Vocabulary. Added that to InitZCatalog().
New feature: Improved the use of Recent history so the page templates will now show them without having to create a Batch object. This will decrease rendering time.
New feature: If you search an click a found issue, ?= is not passed in the URL but still works the same. More convenient for copy-and-paste URLs without the search argument.
New feature: All templates are now interfaced as CheckoutableTemplates (see http://zope.org/Members/peterbe/CheckoutableTemplates) This means that any IssueTrackerProduct instance's templates can easily be customized without having to change any sourcecode and makes it possible to install upgrades.
New feature: Almost all occurances of absolute URLs in the generated HTML has been replaced by relative ones. This makes the resulting HTML slightly smaller in size.
New feature: ListIssues and CompleteList is now much faster if you are not doing a search. It was before doing a search on nothing instead of using objectValues(). Great speed improvement.

New feature: "5 Latest Issues" shows who posted the last followup.
New feature: If the submitter is in Always notify, he is not getting the Always notify email.

Bug fixed: AddIssue and QuickAddIssue wasn't properly implemented with the ClassSecurityInfo() which would cause a "unauthorized" error without login prompt if a parent object has the View permission switched off.
Bug fixed: The accesskeys previously implemented didn't work properly in Internet Explorer so I took it off until I know more about adding accesskeys.
New feature: Accesskeys to the main tabs. Try for example: ALT + h
New feature: There is now a Show Always notify status option if you want to display which Always notify that have been notified. Very useful to the "issue adder" if uncertain who gets to know about the added issue. Default is off. See Advanced properties.
New feature: If you call rss.xml?show=all then it also shows threads/follow ups are items with "Followup to:" added to the title of the issue.

New feature: When viewing an issue, the Add followup etc. buttons is only shown at the top. At the bottom is a minial version of the Add Followup form.

New feature: Download button and the Confidential & Hide me options are now by default hidden.
New feature: JavaScript encoded email hyperlinks. Idea taken from http://www.zope.org/Members/jmeile/email%20encoder A new property has been introduced for this. See bottom of Properties tab. This is recommended for public instances.
New feature: A simple Statistics page. It's linked from the Home page if you're logged in as Manager or if you have switched of the Private Statistics property.
New feature: Inbound emails now get a confirmation message sent back. This is optional and for it to work you need to redeploy standards to get the SendInboundEmailConfirm_script

New feature: Inbound email via POP3. You can now set up one or more POP3 accounts each with one or more email addresses that are dedicated to sniff for emails sent to it that is converted to issues. It depends on the email package from http://mimelib.sourceforge.net/ and if you want to strip HTML formatted emails you are advised to install Strip-o-Gram from http://www.zope.org/Members/chrisw/StripOGram For this to work you are expected to set up some sort of cron job to periodically check for new email.
Bug fixed: Lines that start with a URL or an email address turned to e.g. c<a href="mailto:opyright@dot.com">opyright@dot.com</a>. Now that has been fixed.
