FishEye 2.0 Beta is a public development release leading up to FishEye 2.0. For all production use and testing of FishEye, please use the latest official release.

Do not use in production.
Beta releases should not be used in production environments.

Please also take note of the following information:

  • Beta releases are not safe — Beta releases are snapshots of the ongoing FishEye development process. As such:
    • While we try to keep these releases stable, they have not undergone the same degree of testing as a full release.
    • Features in development releases may be incomplete, or may change or be removed before the next full release.
    • FireFox 3 and Safari are the only browsers supported.

Thank you for your interest in the FishEye 2.0 Beta. This page contains some direction on what is ready for testing in the beta, what the known issues are and how you can submit feedback.

Known Issues

This is a list of known issues with the beta; please do not raise requests related to these as solutions for them are already under way.

  • Timestamp information will be destroyed; if you install the beta release as an upgrade on your existing FishEye instance data, then every timestamp in the database will be reset to midnight and that information is irreversibly lost. The date information remains intact.
  • Clicking on the calendar date picker from the Changelog filter makes the filter disappear, without applying the constraints.

Features Ready For Testing

The following features in the FishEye 2.0 Beta are relatively hardened and using these thoroughly will help contribute to the final product.

  • External Database Support; You can now store Crucible's internal data (reviews and associated data) in a MySQL Enterprise Server or PostgreSQL database, as an alternative to the built-in HSQLDB. Note: Fisheye's repository cache's and the Fisheye user data is still stored on disk using infinity db.
  • Stars; add colleagues, reviews and files to your favourites list, then view updates related to them as a feed.
  • Charlietars; the automatically generated Crucible avatars should work smoothly. Also, you can sign up to Globally Recognised Avatars (http://www.gravatar.com) to upload a profile image and use that instead of the Charlie image.
