1. Dynamic workflow (#5): it's now possible to change it with a simple browser
2. An optional LDAP authentication
3. Multiple database support (#17), Tosca will be tested with Postgres, Sqlite & MySQL.
4. A new subscription system "ala Launchpad" (#59). In short, it's possible to receive email notifications only for a subset of specific issues : the ones where the agent has an interest. It can be by contract, by software or for a specific issue. Of course, it's not possible to have an issue without any subscription from the agent side.
5. Various code cleanup (#61) (#24) (#16)

• Thomas Chemineau for its work on LDAP
• Philip Rhoades for its various tests/comments on multiple database support

1. Unified links : 300 lines of code removed (on a 900 total lines, that's a 33% gain)
2. A new pagination engine, based on mislav's will_paginate gem
3. The last bit of french source code was removed

At last an online demo of Tosca is available !

Go and check it !

After some work on Tosca, it is (at last) compatible with mod_passenger.

We have done some bench to compare Mongrel/Ruby1.8, mod_passenger/Ruby1.8 and mod_passenger/RubyEnterpriseEdition :

The bench was a standard apache test :

/usr/sbin/ab -C '_session_id=my_session_id'-c 100 -n 1000 http://tosca/welcome/admin

The conclusion is simple : install mod_passenger & Ruby Enterprise Edition !

ps : This Redmine is now on mod_passenger & Ruby Enterprise Edition ;)
