Bugzilla 4.0 launches out of beta

Bugzilla, Mozilla's bug-tracking system, has just hit version 4.0. While version 4 has been in beta for a while now, it's been 4 years since the stable release of version 3, which has now been declared EOL (End Of Life) and will no longer be supported.
Bugzilla 4.0 comes packing quite a few new features and improvements over 3.x. Here are the highlights:

  • Automatic duplicate detection for bug fillings
  • Redesigned and simplified UI for the advanced search
  • Redesigned attachment details UI
  • Autocomplete for both usernames and keywords
  • New default status workflow (Unconfirmed > Confirmed > In Progress > Resolved > Verified)
  • CSS and Javascript updates for users now automatic
  • WebService enhancements to bring into line with the Web interface
