New year’s just around the corner. For the last release of 2022, see the gifts our R&D team has dropped under the Christmas tree for you 🎄: full integration with OnlyOffice, Artifact Modal optimization to make search and links easier among artifacts, improvements at Pull Request level for threads of comments and links… check out the release note of Tuleap 14.3


ONLYOFFICE integration completed

After being able to read documents (release 14.0), to write them (release 14.2) it’s now time to create them.

The creation of documents has been redesigned. In the previous versions of Tuleap, the selection of the document type was inside the creation modal window. Starting from 14.3, the creation dropdown shows all document types.

With the creation of ONLYOFFICE documents, the integration is now complete.

Link artifacts easily in artifact modal

Until now, when you were adding a new artifact link in the modal (kanban, scrum, test management) it was a bit cumbersome because you had to know the id of the artifact you wanted to link. Good news: it’s not longer mandatory!

When you link an artifact, Tuleap will show you the recent artifacts you have consulted (chances are that you saw the artifact you want to link recently).

When linking an artifact, the list of recently viewed artifact is displayed

But that’s not all, you can also start typing something and Tuleap will automatically search for it, using the full text search capabilities we recently introduced.

The search in the dropdown works the same way as in the Switch To menu. As you can see in the previous screenshot, the results are not limited to search the title. Please note that the search feature will only be available if the full text search plugin is activated.

Pull requests thread of comments and links

Thread of comments are now colorful to help distinguish one from another.

The color will appear with the first answer and they are assigned randomly.

In addition to that, when one click on file name to see the code associated to the comment, the link points towards the line instead of the beginning of the file.

MySQL 8.0 support

While MySQL 5.7 is still supported, it’s now possible to use MySQL 8.0. All new installations should go with 8.0. Keep in mind that 5.7 support ends in October 2023 (in 10 months) plan your migrations accordingly.
