A new stable release of Trac has been released today as 0.11.4. It features fixes for a few regressions that slipped into 0.11.3, most notably for the PostgreSQL database backend and for Python 2.3, and a Python 2.6 compatibility fix.

The release candidates were a real improvement, as they allowed us to catch a regression that, quite ironically, made the "New Ticket" link on trac.edgewall.org non-functional. Also, having the release candidates out there for a few days gave us more confidence that we wouldn't have an issue pop up a few hours after the release (I'm crossing fingers that this doesn't happen anyway :-). A big thank you to those who tested the release candidates.

If you would like to help improve our releases by testing future release candidates, don't hesitate to register here, especially if you have a somewhat exotic configuration. You will be notified as soon as a new release candidate is available.

Trac 0.11.3 has been released today. It is a new stable maintenance release, and contains a few minor enhancements, as well as many bugfixes. The most notable changes are:

• Python 2.6 compatibility
• Custom text fields can be configured to use wiki formatting

Ton départ subit laisse dans nos coeurs un vide douloureux.

Tu vas nous manquer.

I've been submitting simple bugfix patches to Trac since July. Today, I have been granted developer status, that is, commit access to the Trac code base.

Trac is an awesome development management platform written in Python, itself an awesome programming language. I'm honored to be allowed to contribute to such a great software package, and I hope to be able to learn a lot from the excellent developers on the project.
