Upgrade from Mantis 0.17.3 to 1.0.0rc1

Post by blesstiti »

Anybody upgrade from Mantis 0.17.3 to 1.0.0rc1 before? Can email me?
I would like to know if:

1. Performance and speed wise is a lot faster? Currently using 0.17.3 seems quite slow in loading the page.

2. If just to do basic task, to assign bug, resolve, is the upgrade necessary?

tks!

I would suggest you make a copy of your current database and use it as a starting point of a test installation using 1.0.0rc1. This will allow you to compare performance for yourself and based on your own data.

If your main focus is speed, you may also want to try 0.18.x releases. From memory they were faster than 0.19.x and early 1.0.0ax releases. A lot of optimisations have gone into 1.0.0a3 and rc1.

Thanks for the reply. As I'm new to the system, I'm not quite sure what are the useful features in the new releases which need to be taking into considerations for the upgrading.

For some people, there were saying the export to excel file feature in the old version was not user-friendly, not able to know all the decription of the reported bugs. Not sure if there is any mockup/interface or demo account/url which I can test on for the latest Mantis release, so I can compare and check out the feature myself.
