Menturio/WEB 1.6 released

This release (a.k.a. “Babel Fish”) focuses on the single most important thing in web development, browser compatibility. Naturally it includes several other new and improved features:

Browser compatibility
Alternative browsers (Mozilla Firefox being the most popular of them at the current time) becoming more and more widespread, it is necessary for any web-based service to support as many as possible. With browser implementations being so different it is virtually impossible for large systems to be completely browser independent. Considering current browser usage studies, we have concentrated our efforts to make our first step in browser independence: Mozilla Firefox compatibility.

Project independency
Testing Menturio™ we have noticed that project dependency sometimes decreases effectiveness. One of the best examples is when you open an item by entering its identifier: if the desired item is not in the current project, you cannot use this method. This presents a problem when you only have the identifier of the item and no other information. Keeping this in mind we have developed project independency for the following features:
- open item by identifier
- manage items
- edit items

Improved e-mail sending
Sending e-mail notifications about issues is considered by our partners one of the most useful features of Menturio™. Following polls we have introduced several new features for issue e-mail notification. We have introduced improved recipient selection with the address list comprised of available Menturio™ users; from now on, selecting recipients is as easy as in any e-mail client application. Using another new feature you can append additional notes to the e-mail and at the same time, add the notes to Menturio™ as well.
