Crucible Latest (3.1) : Crucible 3.1 release notes

27 August 2013

Today we're excited to release Crucible 3.1, which brings you a cleaner and faster interface. We've also added some further JIRA integration points.

If you are upgrading from an earlier version of Crucible, please read the Crucible upgrade guide. Please also read the End of Support Announcements for Crucible.

The Crucible 3.1 changelog is at the bottom of this page.

The new Dashboard

Crucible's new dashboard makes your pending reviews the highest priority, putting them right at the top and clearly indicating their urgency. The repository and project navigator lets you jump to your recent content (try pressing Enter as soon as you launch the dashboard), and includes filters and keyboard shortcuts that facilitate navigation, especially when your organisation has hundreds of repositories. 

QuickNav and QuickSearch improvements

Previously in Crucible, QuickSearch was limited to searching 100 repositories concurrently. Now, in Crucible 3.1, you can search across files and directories, commit messages, and committers, for every one of your repositories. And it's 40% faster. And you can order search results by date. Furthermore, QuickNav now uses the same indexes as QuickSearch, so it's faster too, and it produces the same results as QuickSearch:

Note that upgrading to Crucible 3.1 requires an upgrade to the cross-repository index. See the Crucible upgrade guide for details.

New JIRA issue dialog

Now, when you click on any linked JIRA issue key in Crucible, you'll see a dialog that displays a summary of the issue details. From that dialog, you can transition the workflow for the issue, and easily click through to edit the issue in JIRA:
 


Transition JIRA issues from within Crucible

Previously in Crucible, you could transition a JIRA issue linked to a review at the time that you closed the review.  Now you can advance the workflow for any JIRA issue mentioned in Crucible at any time, right from within Crucible – just click the issue link to see the transitions available to you:
