-<h2 id="v44_point">Updates in this 4.4.x Release</h2>
+<h2 id="req">Minimum Requirements</h2>
-<h3>4.4.4</h3>
-
-<p>This release fixes one regression introduced in Bugzilla 4.4.3 by
- <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=968576">security [% terms.bug %] 968576</a>:
- URLs in [% terms.bug %] comments are displayed correctly again.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=998323">[% terms.Bug %] 998323</a>)</p>
-
-<h3>4.4.3</h3>
-
-<p>This release fixes two security issues. See the
- <a href="http://www.bugzilla.org/security/4.0.11/">Security Advisory</a>
- for details.</p>
-
-<p>In addition, the following important fixes/changes have been made in this release:</p>
-
-<ul>
- <li>The <kbd>User.login</kbd> WebService method now also returns a
- <kbd>token</kbd> argument containing a login token which you can use in
- subsequent calls to authenticate. For security reasons, this method
- no longer generates login cookies.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=893195">[% terms.Bug %] 893195</a>)</li>
- <li>The <kbd>User.get</kbd> WebService method now correctly takes the
- <kbd>maxusermatches</kbd> parameter into account when the <kbd>match</kbd>
- argument is passed. Previously, it was returning all matching accounts.
- To further limit the number of accounts returned by <kbd>User.get</kbd>,
- you can now pass the <kbd>limit</kbd> argument.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=962060">[% terms.Bug %] 962060</a>)</li>
- <li>The sudo cookie is no longer accessible from JavaScript.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=966676">[% terms.Bug %] 966676</a>)</li>
- <li>Large dependency trees with lots of resolved [% terms.bugs %] now load
- much faster.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=961789">[% terms.Bug %] 961789</a>)</li>
-</ul>
-
-<h3>4.4.2</h3>
-
-<p>The following [% terms.bugs %] have been fixed in this release:</p>
-
-<ul>
- <li><kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd> was incorrectly reporting DBI 1.630 (1.63) as
- being older than 1.614, preventing the upgrade to complete.
- If you still use Perl 5.10.0 or older, make sure you have the
- <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~jpeacock/version/lib/version.pod">version</a>
- module installed before running <kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd>.
- If you use Perl 5.10.1 or newer, this module is already available and
- no special action is required.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=938300">[% terms.Bug %] 938300</a>)</li>
- <li>An error about <kbd>longdescs.comment_id</kbd> was thrown by MySQL 5.0
- and 5.1 when upgrading to Bugzilla 4.4 or 4.4.1.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=870369">[% terms.Bug %] 870369</a>)</li>
- <li>Saved searches containing Unicode characters in their name could not
- be run if Digest::SHA 5.82 or newer is installed.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=964113">[% terms.Bug %] 964113</a>)</li>
- <li>A regression in Bugzilla 4.4.1 caused <kbd>email_in.pl</kbd> to fail
- with an "invalid token" error message.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=928331">[% terms.Bug %] 928331</a> and
- <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=930013">[% terms.bug %] 930013</a>)</li>
- <li>The PROJECT environment variable is now correctly taken into account
- when mod_perl is enabled (this variable allows several installations to
- share the same codebase).
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=843457">[% terms.Bug %] 843457</a>)</li>
- <li>Mandatory custom fields whose visibility depends on a component are now
- correctly required on [% terms.bug %] creation.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=895813">[% terms.Bug %] 895813</a>)</li>
- <li>Windows 8.1 is now recognized when reporting new [% terms.bugs %].
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=928092">[% terms.Bug %] 928092</a>)</li>
- <li>Bugzilla no longer crashes when the <kbd>shutdownhtml</kbd> parameter
- is set and using a non-cookie based authentication method.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748095">[% terms.Bug %] 748095</a>)</li>
- <li><kbd>importxml.pl</kbd> no longer ignores the <kbd>maxattachmentsize</kbd>
- and <kbd>maxlocalattachment</kbd> parameters when importing [% terms.bugs %].
- This means that large attachments are now stored locally in
- <kbd>data/attachments/</kbd> if parameters are configured this way.
- The script must now be run as the webserver user (e.g. apache) to make these
- attachments readable from web browsers.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=360231">[% terms.Bug %] 360231</a>)</li>
- <li>The default date and time format used for SQLite has been fixed.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=938161">[% terms.Bug %] 938161</a>)</li>
-</ul>
-
-<h3>4.4.1</h3>
-
-<p>This release fixes several security issues. See the
- <a href="http://www.bugzilla.org/security/4.0.10/">Security Advisory</a>
- for details.</p>
-
-<p>In addition, the following [% terms.bugs %] have been fixed in this release:</p>
-
-<ul>
- <li><kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd> no longer fails with "Invalid version format (non-numeric data)"
- when a Perl module contains an invalid version number.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781672">[% terms.Bug %] 781672</a>)</li>
- <li>Internet Explorer 11 and KHTML-based browsers such as Konqueror can now
- display buglists correctly.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=902515">[% terms.Bug %] 902515</a> and
- <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=914262">[% terms.bug %] 914262</a>)</li>
- <li>When editing several [% terms.bugs %] at once and moving them into a new
- product, [% terms.bugs %] restricted to a group in the old product could
- loose these group restrictions in the new product.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=769134">[% terms.Bug %] 769134</a>)</li>
- <li>When the <kbd>password_complexity</kbd> parameter was set to
- 'letters_numbers_specialchars', passwords containing numbers and special
- characters only were accepted. Now it makes sure that a letter is also present.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=897264">[% terms.Bug %] 897264</a>)</li>

- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=851267">[% terms.Bug %] 851267</a>)</li>
- <li>The "My Requests" page now correctly uses the AND/OR operator for the
- requester and requestee fields only instead of using it for all fields.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=891311">[% terms.Bug %] 891311</a>)</li>
- <li>With DB servers doing case-insensitive comparisons, such as MySQL, tokens
- and login cookies were not correctly validated as the case was ignored.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=906745">[% terms.Bug %] 906745</a> and
- <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=907438">[% terms.bug %] 907438</a>)</li>
- <li>All security headers (such as X-Frame-Options) are now returned when using XML-RPC.
- (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=787328">[% terms.Bug %] 787328</a>)</li>
- <li>Oracle crashed when reporting a new [% terms.bug %] if a custom free-text field

-<h3 id="v44_feat_search">Allow Multiple Search Criteria to Match one Field</h3>
-
-<p>
- In the "Advanced Search" page, it is now possible to build queries using
- multiple custom search criteria against the same field. In Bugzilla
- 4.2 and older, queries of the form
- <br><br>
- <kbd>"Status changed to VERIFIED" AND "Status changed by foo@bar.com"</kbd>
- <br><br>
- were returning all [% terms.bugs %] which had their status changed to VERIFIED
- by some user and which were edited by foo@bar.com once, but both actions could
- be independent. In Bugzilla 4.4, you can now decide if both
- criteria must match the exact same action or not, i.e. if you want
- [%+ terms.bugs %] whose status has been set to VERIFIED by foo@bar.com himself.
- In the same way, queries of the form
- <br><br>
- <kbd>"Flags changed to approval+" AND "Flags changed by foo@bar.com"</kbd>
- <br><br>
- can now return [% terms.bugs %] for which the approval flag has been set to
- "+" by foo@bar.com himself. In previous versions, both actions were treated
- independently and [% terms.bugs %] for which foo@bar.com set the approval flag
- to "?" and which is then set to "+" by someone else were also returned.
-</p>
-<p>
- This new feature gives you the ability to build more accurate queries and to
- get more relevant results.
-</p>
-
-<h3 id="v44_feat_search_perf">Improved Performance for Searches</h3>
+<h3 id="feat_webservices">Improved WebServices</h3>
<p>
- The search system got a performance boost which in some cases decreases the
- time spent to run queries from several minutes to a few seconds only.
- The more complex your queries are, the more visible the performance win
- should be.
+ This release has major improvements in the WebServices interface. One big
+ addition is a new REST-like endpoint alongside the existing XML-RPC and JSON-RPC
+ endpoints. This will allow clients to access Bugzilla data using standard HTTP
+ calls for easy development. <strong>Note:</strong> XML-RPC and JSON-RPC are
+ deprecated in favor of REST and will likely be removed in the Bugzilla 7.0 release.
</p>
-
-<h3 id="v44_feat_bug_tags">Overhaul of the Tagging System</h3>
-
<p>
- The old tagging system which was in the footer of all pages had severe design
- and usability limitations and has been replaced by a shiny new one which lets
- you tag [% terms.bugs %] from the [% terms.bug %] report directly. Tags now
- mostly work like keywords, but with two major differences. First of all, they
- are personal, meaning that tags you set on [% terms.bugs %] are only visible
- by you, and nobody else is notified nor can see which tags you set. This
- behavior is the same as the old tagging system and so this feature didn't
- change. The second major difference is that the list of available tags is
- unlimited and is in no way hardcoded by administrators. You can type either
- a new tag of your choice, or you can select one from an auto-generated list
- of tags which you already used in other [% terms.bugs %]. Again, this feature
- was already present in the old tagging system, but its usability has been
- greatly improved. In particular, this means that tags are now displayed in
- [%+ terms.bug %] reports directly, so that you immediately know which tags
- you already set for that [% terms.bug %]. This feature is new in this release.
+ Also API key support has been added so that API calls will no longer need to use
+ cookies or a user's login and password. Users can create a different API key for
+ each application and revoke API keys that have been compromised or are no longer
+ needed. The API key will simply be passed to each call as credentials.
</p>
<p>
- Another new feature is that your personal tags can now be listed in buglists.
- They can also be used as search criteria in your queries. If you decide to
- share a saved search which uses tags as criteria, this will work too! Note
- that when you add a new tag, no saved search based on this tag is created
- anymore, as you can easily create it yourself if you really need it.
-</p>
-<p>
- The tags set with the old tagging system are automatically migrated to the
- new system.
+ Several methods have been added and existing ones improved to allow returning
+ data that was not available before such as <kbd>Group.get</kbd>. <kbd>B[%%]ug.search</kbd>
+ is now as full featured as the Advanced Query UI allowing for the same searches
+ to be executed. Attachment data such as flags and other metadata can now be
+ updated through the API. Other WebService changes are detailed
+ <a href="#feat_webservices_other">below</a>.
</p>
-<h3 id="v44_feat_mimetype_autodetect">Auto-Detection of the Attachment MIME Type</h3>
+<h3 id="feat_caching_performance">Improved Caching using Memcached</h3>
<p>
- When a user uploads a new attachment and lets the "Content Type" field set to
- "auto-detect", Bugzilla now does its own MIME type detection
- if the web browser tells them that the attachment is of type
- "application/octet-stream", in an attempt to make a better guess than the web
- browser. In all other cases, Bugzilla still trusts what the browser
- tells them.
-</p>
-<p>
- Check the <a href="#v44_req_optional_mod">list of optional Perl modules</a> to
- know which modules to install in order to enable MIME type sniffing.
+ Bugzilla now has the ability to connect to a Memcached server running either
+ locally or on the network to allow fast access to different types of data.
+ This cuts down on the amount of database hits and can improve performance. Other
+ areas have been improved as well to take advantage of caching in memory for
+ objects that are retrieved multiple times during a request such as user data, etc.
</p>
-<h3 id="v44_feat_saved_reports">Saving Tabular and Graphical Reports</h3>
+<h3 id="feat_comment_tags">Ability to Tag [% terms.Bug %] Comments</h3>
<p>
- It is now possible to save tabular and graphical reports in the same way as
- you save searches. Saved reports will appear in the footer of pages, below
- saved searches.
-</p>
-<p>
- Unlike saved searches, it is not yet possible to share saved reports with
- other users.
+ Users can add tags, visible to other users, to [% terms.bug %] comments. This
+ gives the users the ability to thread conversations, mark comments as spam,
+ identify important comments, etc. Users can hide comments that contain specific
+ tags if desired. The tag input field also supports autocompletion so commonly
+ used tags can be selected. Administrators can make specifically tagged comments
+ be automatically hidden from view.
</p>
-<h3 id="v44_feat_whining">Custom Columns in Whine Emails</h3>
+<h3 id="feat_bug_groups">Improved [% terms.Bug %] Group Membership Checking</h3>
<p>
- The list of columns to display in buglists contained in emails sent by the
- whining system on a regular basis is no longer hardcoded. If the saved
- search used for whining emails contains a list of columns, these columns are
- used to be displayed in the emails. If no custom list is found, the default
- column list is used instead.

-<p>
- This means that depending on the kind of email notifications you want, you
- can fully customize data to return, on a per saved search basis!
+ In the past, Bugzilla restricted who can view [% terms.abug %] to everyone
+ who was a member of ALL the groups the [% terms.bug %] was in. That is, the
+ groups were ANDed together. This made some access control scenarios rather
+ difficult to achieve. So now, Bugzilla defaults to (and can be switched to,
+ in existing installations) a mode where the [% terms.bug %] can be viewed by
+ everyone who is a member of ANY group the [% terms.bug %] is in. That is, the
+ groups are ORed together. This give more flexibility in the way [% terms.bugs %]
+ are made private to specific groups of users.

-<h3 id="v44_feat_webservices">Improved WebServices</h3>
-
<p>
- This release got major improvements in its WebServices interface. Many new
- methods have been implemented to let third-party applications interact with
- Bugzilla even more closely. For instance, it is now possible to
- know what parameters are set to using <kbd>B[%%]ugzilla.parameters</kbd>.
- It is now also possible to update tags, products, groups or user accounts
- using our API.
-<p>
-<p>
- Several existing methods have also been improved to return data which
- weren't available till now, such as [% terms.bug %] and attachment flags
- using <kbd>B[%%]ug.get</kbd>, <kbd>B[%%]ug.attachments</kbd> or
- <kbd>Product.get</kbd>. Users can also get their saved searches and reports
- using <kbd>User.get</kbd>; and much more, see the
- <a href="#v44_feat_webservices_details">detailed list</a> below.
+ <strong>Note:</strong> Group memberships for [% terms.bugs %] and users are
+ not changed at all when this setting is switched. When switching from AND to
+ OR, this means that [% terms.bugs %] may be more widely viewable than previously.
+ It is the responsibility of the administrator to make sure that no [% terms.bugs %]
+ are accidentally revealed to the wrong people when changing this setting.
</p>
-<h3 id="v44_feat_apache_config">New Apache Configuration</h3>
+<h3 id="feat_documentation">Improved Documentation for Users and Administrators</h3>
<p>
- For improved security, Bugzilla now prevents directory browsing
- by default. If you run Bugzilla under Apache (as most people do),
- you most likely require a <strong>new Apache configuration</strong> for this
- version of Bugzilla. See the
- <a href="#v44_upgrading">Notes On Upgrading From a Previous Version</a>
- section for details.
+ The standard documentation that is shipped along with the Bugzilla code has been
+ rewritten and improved using the reStructuredText format. This allows the
+ documentation to be easily hosted at sites such as ReadTheDocs.org and can
+ also be more easily converted into different formats such as HTML and PDF.
+ A new section dedicated to the new REST WebService API has also been added,
+ significantly improving on the old WebService documentation.

+ CSV format.</li>
+ <li><strong>Requests:</strong><kbd> X-Bugzilla-*</kbd> headers are now included
+ in flag notification emails.</li>
+ <li><strong>Searches:</strong> Some useful searches have been added to the

+ in reports.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Enhancements for Administrators and Developers</h4>
<ul>
- <li><strong>License:</strong> The Bugzilla code is now released
- under the MPL 2.0 license (previously was MPL 1.1).</li>
- <li><strong>Installation:</strong> On mod_perl, templates now remain in
- memory for one hour, which can cause an increase in memory requirements.
- This also means that it can take up to one hour before changes in templates
- become active (unless you restart Apache).</li>
- <li><strong>Installation:</strong> Running
- <kbd>checksetup.pl --make-admin=foo@bar.com</kbd> now automatically
- re-enables the user account if it was disabled.</li>
- <li><strong>Configuration:</strong> A new parameter <em>smtp_ssl</em> can be
- turned on to enable SSL connections to the SMTP server to send email
- notifications.</li>
- <li><strong>Administration:</strong> Custom fields now have a new <em>Long
- description</em> attribute to better describe what the custom field is
- about. This description then appears as a tooltip when hovering the custom
- field in [% terms.bug %] reports.</li>
- <li><strong>Administration:</strong> When creating a new product, the form
- lets you add a component at the same time.</li>
- <li><strong>Administration:</strong> When viewing a user account in
- <kbd>editusers.cgi</kbd>, the date of the last login is displayed. Users
- who did not log in since you upgraded to 4.4 will have this field empty.</li>
- <li><strong>Administration:</strong> It is now possible to exclude disabled
- user accounts when running a query in <kbd>editusers.cgi</kbd>.</li>
- <li><strong>Administration:</strong> The default CC list is now also displayed
- when listing components in <kbd>editcomponents.cgi</kbd>.</li>
- <li><strong>Administration:</strong> Target milestones can now be 64 characters
- long, for consistency with versions (previously was limited to 20 characters
- only).</li>
- <li><strong>Administration:</strong> The result code returned by
- <kbd>contrib/bugzilla-queue.rhel</kbd> when it's not running is now 2
- instead of 0.</li>
- <li><strong>Database:</strong> Support for MySQL 5.6 has been added.</li>
- <li><strong>Database:</strong> Support for Oracle has been greatly improved.</li>
- <li><strong>Security:</strong> For improved security, the
- "X-Content-Type-Options:&nbsp;nosniff" and "X-XSS-Protection:&nbsp;block"
- headers are now sent with every response.</li>
- <li><strong>Security:</strong> Tokens are now generated using HMAC SHA-256
- instead of MD5.</li>
- <li><strong>Documentation:</strong> The documentation is now generated with
- <kbd>xmlto</kbd> and <kbd>dblatex</kbd> instead of <kbd>jade</kbd>.</li>
+ <li><strong>Administration:</strong> There are now <kbd>INTEGER</kbd> and
+ <kbd>DATE</kbd> custom field types.</li>
+ <li><strong>Administration:</strong> Filenames used to store product data for
+ "Old Charts" are now based on product IDs to avoid data loss when changing
+ product names.</li>
+ <li><strong>Administration:</strong> JavaScript and CSS files are now minified
+ and concatenated to improve page load performance. When changes are made,
+ <kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd> should be run to regenerate the combined files.</li>
+ <li><strong>[% terms.Bugs %]:</strong> Bugzilla now keeps track of the last
+ time each user visited (that is, loaded the show_bug page in a web browser)
+ each [% terms.bug %]. This could be useful for dashboards or API clients.</li>
+ <li><strong>Database:</strong> Text that contained unicode
+ supplementary characters (outside BMP) was cut off when using MySQL as backend.
+ This has been fixed to prevent data loss.</li>
+ <li><strong>Database:</strong> SSL connections are now possible when using
+ MySQL as backend.</li>
+ <li><strong>Database:</strong> For version 8.x of PostgreSQL, <kbd>plpgsql</kbd>
+ was not always installed by default and <kbd>checksetup.pl</kbd> would
+ generate an error. This has been fixed.</li>
+ <li><strong>Development:</strong> Bugzilla is now HTML5 compliant.</li>
+ <li><strong>Email:</strong> Email generation originally was done before the
+ jobqueue job was inserted. This is now delayed and done by
+ <kbd>jobqueue.pl</kbd> right before sending the email which can improve
+ responsiveness when processing [% terms.bug %] changes.</li>
+ <li><strong>Email:</strong> When a site administrator creates a new user, an
+ email is sent to the user.</li>
+ <li><strong>Email:</strong> For dependency email notifications, the header
+ <kbd>X-B[%%]ugzilla-Type: dep_changed</kbd> is set.</li>
+ <li><strong>Email:</strong> <kbd>whine.pl</kbd> emails now use
+ <kbd>DEFAULT_COLUMN_LIST</kbd> (the same default columns seen in the buglist
+ page) instead of hard coded column list.</li>
+ <li><strong>Security:</strong> Support for increased values for
+ <kbd>PASSWORD_SALT_LENGTH</kbd> without breaking compatibility with old
+ hashes.</li>

- <li><kbd>Product.get</kbd> now also returns the <kbd>flag_types</kbd> field
- containing all the relevant data for attachment and [% terms.bug %] flag types.</li>
- <li><kbd>Product.get</kbd> now throws an error if neither <kbd>ids</kbd> nor
- <kbd>names</kbd> is passed to the method.</li>
- <li>When requesting data for your own account using <kbd>User.get</kbd>,
- this method now returns two additional fields: <kbd>saved_searches</kbd>
- and <kbd>saved_reports</kbd> containing all your saved searches and
- graphical and tabular reports.</li>
- <li><kbd>User.get</kbd> now also returns the <kbd>groups</kbd> field

-<h3>IMPORTANT: Apache Configuration Change</h3>
-
-<p>
- For improved security, Bugzilla now prevents directory browsing
- by default. In order to do that, the root <kbd>bugzilla/.htaccess</kbd> file
- now contains the <kbd>Options -Indexes</kbd> directive. By default, this
- directive is not allowed in <kbd>.htaccess</kbd> and so you must configure
- Apache to allow it. To do that, add <kbd>Options</kbd> to the
- <kbd>AllowOverride</kbd> directive in <kbd>httpd.conf</kbd>. This means you
- should now have something like this:
- <p>
- <kbd>AllowOverride Limit FileInfo Indexes Options</kbd>
- </p>
- Check the
- <a href="http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/4.4/en/html/configuration.html#http-apache">documentation</a>
- for more information about how to configure Apache.

- <li>There is a new extension located at <kbd>extensions/MoreBugUrl/</kbd>
- which permits to add new classes of URLs in the See Also field. It uses
- the <kbd>bug_url_sub_classes</kbd> hook mentioned above.</li>
