Most Wanted Features in 2016 and 2017
Christmas time is just around the corner, Jingle Bells! We wish you a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
Christmas time also means that the year is almost over. Today we want to share with you some results for 2016.
Earlier this January we posted about the 10 Most Wanted Features in YouTrack. That list raised a lot of interest, so let’s see how the most popular features have fared in being delivered this year.
- JT-13480 — Gantt chart support is released in YouTrack 7.0. You are welcome to try it and let us know what you think.
- JT-16657 — Real time update of agile board and backlog. Live update is a part of YouTrack 7.0. Enjoy!
- JT-17476 — Search for issues based on time tracking. This feature is not released yet, but it’s ready and coming in the beginning of 2017. Thanks for your patience with this one!
- JT-24385 — Integration with Slack and Hipchat. We’ve done several things here in YouTrack 7.0:
- Slack Integration (XMPP): make YouTrack and Slack communicate with each other using a Jabber client. Receive notifications in Slack for updates to issues, and enter commands in Slack to update issues in YouTrack.
- Slack Integration (HTTP): Post notifications to a channel in Slack by using a workflow.
- Hipchat integration: Send notifications to a HipChat room when a new issue is created or when an existing issue is updated in a specific project.
- JT-2570 iOS and Android YouTrack Client. This one wasn’t on the Top 10 list, but we thought it to be very important. So, YouTrack Mobile is here! Enjoy!
These wanted features are waiting for you in YouTrack 7.0. Give it a try if you haven’t yet.
- JT-21112 — Support Markdown syntax. This is definitely on our list for 2017.
We think this list is a good example of how your voice influences the product we create. We do listen and we’ll continue listening next year too. We encourage you to check the list of the most popular features in YouTrack today, and speak up about the ones you find relevant!
And that’s not all. We’d like to share our plan for the most wanted features for 2017, organized by topics. A more detailed Roadmap for 2017 is coming soon.
