This second and last 1.3.x release candidate has 127 bug fixes and improvements. Some of the highlights include:
- @ mentions support – mention other users in issue summary, description and notes and they will get an email alerting them to the fact that they were mentioned with the appropriate context.
- Support for avatar plugins – We still ship Gravatar out of the box, but it is now very easy to implement other avatar providers that can be based on file system or LDAP.
- Support for user lifecycle plugin events – Added plugin events the handle and extend user lifecycle events (see extensibility section below)
- Allow administrators to impersonate users – Administrators can now impersonate a user account to verify that it’s access level is as expected or to troubleshoot issues that their users are having with Mantis.
- Support for notes and tags as columns to configure for view issues, print issues, csv/excel export
- Support for login using email address – Users can login using either usernames or email addresses.
- Enforcing email uniqueness – User emails must be unique or empty for service accounts.
- Enable configuration for email notifications for category owner – The same way it is possible to configure whether reporter of an issue should receive notifications, the same can now happen for category owners.
- Re-implemented parsing of complex configuration types for Configuration Report – Re-implemented parsing logic in a robust way leveraging standard PHP methods designed to parse PHP expressions.
- Tagging directly from report issue page – You no longer have to report an issue, then go and tag it, this can now be done in a single step.

email uniqueness
Has this been discussed with your user base? If yes, where? Is there a description how you intend to do that? Will it be configurable?
Do you really want to enforce email uniqueness? This is a show stopper for us! We definitely need different users with identical email address.
Email uniqueness is configurable. You can turn it off as follows:
$g_email_ensure_unique = OFF;
