JavaForge: Long awaited upgrades finally here!!!

This morning Matthew Schmidt (VP of Technology for Javalobby) announced that his Team completed the first upgrade of JavaForge to the underlying system, CodeBeamer from Intland, in over a year. Prior to this upgrade many of the user complained of things such as poor performance, subversion losing your project members, attachments disappearing, and general instability with the system.

With this upgrade, the Javalobby team hope that all of these issues will be gone. They still have a bit left to do with the upgrade to bring back features such as your custom homepages (don't worry, they're still there!), so they expect some downtime over the next few days. In addition, JavaForge plan
to increase the RAM in the server by another 2GB so that builds won't interfere with the running of the website.

For the users convenience they've listed some of the new features that are in CodeBeamer 4.2. If you want more information on these features, feel free to visit the Intland website. For help with the new system, be sure to read their user guide.

Features:
* Better Subversion support
* Document Manager extensions
* New Databases are supported
* Anonymous
* Labeling on all Artifacts
* Wiki Extensions
* Enhanced Notification Services
* Knowledge management Extensions
* API Extensions
* New Integrations

If you are a JavaForge user and you have any problems with the new system, please don't hesitate to email the support team at support-AT-javalobby-DOT-org. They'll try to address the issues as soon as they can. Thanks for using JavaForge and I hope you enjoy the new system.
