After several sprints devoted to plugins (to appear in a few weeks with the R4), and getting the new community site up and running, a new version of iceScrum -R3#9 -has just been published by the development team. It can be downloaded as a bundle or a war from the Download page.

What’s new in this R3#9 ?

1. iceScrum now speaks Spanish, as well as French, English and German (which has been improved in this new version), thanks to the efforts of Adrian Moya
2. A story (estimated) from the backlog can now be directly associated with a sprint without having to go via the Release plan (drag and drop with the product backlog widget)
3. Timezone management
4. Improved performance

Bugs corrected :

• sprint burndown was incorrect when 2 tasks had the same name (forum),
• a feature with special characters in its description couldn’t be put in the backlog,
• in the Sprint Plan view filtered by “My tasks”, moving the last visible task of a story wrongly caused this story to be classed as finished, even if there were unfinished tasks from other users for this story (forum),
• a newly created release could not be activated (forum),
• the tasks of a dissociated story were not deleted, causing a crash for this story later on,
• during sprint activation with the option create a task if none is present, a task was created even though one already existed,
• importing previous versions in special cases,
• in the table view, the dates were incorrect.

Improved ergonomics :

• a global exception for database problems has been defined,
• lists for values can be longer (story).

Installation guidelines have been published : simple installation for the bundle and installing the war on a serveur.
