Review Board 7.0.1 fixes some important compatibility issues, and makes further improvements to the UI, building upon what we started in Review Board 7.
Let's dig in.
RBTools 5 Compatibility Fixes
In Review Board 7.0, posting changes against Git or ClearCase repositories using RBTools 5 could sometimes result in an error. This depended entirely on your RBTools and Review Board configuration and affected users who didn't specify an explicit repository in .reviewboardrc on a server without Power Pack.
This was due to a bug in our API combined with an oversight in RBTools 5. We recommend updating to 7.0.1 as soon as possible to avoid any issues posting changes for review.
Document Review Fixes
For users leveraging Review Board 7 with Power Pack for Document Review, you can once again move and resize your draft comments on documents. This had regressed in 7.0 but is now fixed.
UI Improvements
We've been working on further updates to Review Board 7's UI:
- Improved font sizes in the page header.
- Fixed a few button interactions (enabling/disabling extensions or deleting items from the database in the Administration UI).
- Introduced a whole new condition rule editor for configuring integrations.
Plus...
- Better stability when your cache server goes down.
- Asana integration fixes.
- Wider compatibility for building extensions with or without static media.
- Fixes for crashes when viewing some interdiffs.
- New API and extension improvements as part of the Review Board Platform.
All the details can be found in the release notes.
