Coming Changes in Launchpad 1.1.10

[Matthew Revell]

Welcome to the Coming Changes report for Launchpad 1.1.10 (due for release
24th October).

Here you can find information on changes that we're planning for the next
Launchpad release. These are changes that may affect the way you use
Launchpad, rather than a full list of new features that will appear in
1.1.10.


Giving us your feedback
-----------------------

We welcome your feedback and invite you to join us on the launchpad-users
mailing list:

http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/launchpad-users

You can also come and speak directly with the Launchpad team in the
Launchpad Users Meeting on Wednesday 10th October at 16.00 UTC in
#launchpad.

We'll publish an updated version of this report on the 17th October.


Launchpad general
------------------

* A new "Request information" option will be added to the "Proposed member"
  page, alongside "Approve" and "Decline". This will help team
  administrators to contact prospective members who hide their email
  addresses. (Bug 66105)

  specify that project's licence. (Bug 117276)

  (Bug 144540)


Bug Tracker

* It will be possible to change the status of multiple bugs at once from a
  bug listing. (Blueprint mass-bug-editing-phase-1 and bug 41702)

* Displaying remote bug comments.
  (Blueprint displaying-remote-bug-comments)

* Email addresses in bug descriptions will be obfuscated. (Bug 140575)


Code
----

* The code browse (Loggerhead) pages will have an improved design.
  (Bug 144744)

* The "user@" portion of ssh code-hosting URLs will be removed and the user
  identified by their public key. (Bug 137910)

* Editing bug-branch links will be restricted to the branch owner and the
  project's bug contact. (Bug 138805)


Soyuz
-----

* Ubuntu releases that are no longer support (Warty, Hoary and Breezy) will
  be removed from Launchpad's archive. (Bug 66631)
