Edit: iceScrum R6#4 has been replaced by two successive minor versions that fix these bugs:

• ICESCRUM-648 – Estimation with “.” as decimal separator isn’t saved when creating a task (fixed in R6#4.2)
• ICESCRUM-524 – Impossible to delete stories from the backlog (fixed in R6#4.2)
• LDAP configuration is reinitialized (iceScrum Pro, fixed in R6#4.1)

Hello everybody,

This new version of iceScrum brings the following bug fixes:

R6#4.2 – R6 – Sprint 4 (08/03/2013 – 12/04/2013)

Bug fixes

• ICESCRUM-523 – Tags lost when updating an element in table view
• ICESCRUM-645 – Better error handling on file and network interface exception when starting iceScrum
• ICESCRUM-643 – Display issue in the modal window when batch accepting stories in the sandbox
• ICESCRUM-629 – It is often impossible to delete a project
• ICESCRUM-637 – Sometimes, stories can’t be deleted
• ICESCRUM-632 – It is impossible to delete the last sprint
• ICESCRUM-636 – Pushed data don’t have the proper charset
• ICESCRUM-634 – Attachment limit is also displayed in tags (iceScrum Cloud)

Some changes require additional explanations, here they are:

• ICESCRUM-516 – Unstable language

Some users reported random language changes when using the tool. Please not that this may have lead to errors in iceScrum regarding invalid dates. Indeed, dates have two format depending on the language. Your feedback is welcome in order to ensure that all language / dates problem are solved by this fix.

• ICESCRUM-641 – No more IE6, IE7 and IE8 support at all

We wrote a blog post in order to explain why iceScrum won’t be accessible anymore for outdated Internet Explorer versions, and why we think it’s good for the future of iceScrum: https://www.icescrum.com/blog/about-browser-compatibility/

• ICESCRUM-640 – Unwanted logout after 30 min of inactivity

In the previous sprint, some technical changes under the hood restored the default behavior of our security system, which logs out users after 30 minutes of inactivity. Such a behavior is quite common on web applications so we decided to give it a try. However, agile development is user driven and your feedback isn’t very positive about that so this timeout will disappear in R6#4!

iceScrum Pro users, here are manual operations required in order to ensure this upgrade works smoothly.

• ICESCRUM-644 – Disabling LDAP plugin doesn’t work (iceScrum Pro)

Because of this issue, LDAP authentication may be disabled after the upgrade. Please ensure that you re-enable it so your users can log in!

• After upgrading, there is a corner case where your licence can be displayed as invalid. If such a problem occurs, please contact us and we will solve it immediately.
