What's new in YouTrack 2018.3
Hello!
Yesterday YouTrack 2018.3 was released, and in this article we will talk about what's new in the new version.
We continue to work on improving the YouTrack interface. Some time ago we announced an updated page for creating and editing tasks as part of experimental functionality. Thanks to feedback from users, we managed to make useful changes to these pages before turning them on by default. Now new pages for creating and viewing tasks are included for all users.
')
To update the interface, we use components from the latest version of Ring UI - the open-source JetBrains library for web products. Now YouTrack interface has become more modern and convenient!
YouTrack has a page where the administrator can add important information about the project: its description, purpose, mission, and widgets to monitor the main changes in the project. From there you can also go directly to the project settings to make changes.
If the project is public, then external users will be able to read about the project right on this page.
If the group to which the user belongs, has a logo, then now it will be displayed next to the avatar of this user. These changes can be seen in the drop-down list for assigning users, using commands, with @ mentions, adding observers, and so on.
The new runOn property for on-change rules allows you to call a specific workflow when updating, deleting a task or in both cases. So you can create rules that prevent the accidental deletion of important tasks.
A new custom “text” type field has been added to YouTrack, in which data can be added as text in Markdown format. This field is displayed on the task page below its main description.
This type of field is convenient to use with custom fields that are set under different conditions. For example, you can create a field “steps to reproduce an error”, which will appear only when you select a task of the type Bug.
Now you can insert content from Google Apps into your task description or comments: documents, spreadsheets, polls, and so on. The visibility of the content in the task depends on the privacy settings of the document itself (it must be published on the web). Please note that if the task is public, then the content will be visible to everyone.
If you are using the cloud version of YouTrack, you can now enable push notifications on the phone for YouTrack Mobile.
It also became possible to enable two-factor authentication directly in my profile. Additionally, you can confirm your account using the data verification application (for example, Google Authenticator).
We are constantly working on functionality that increases the security of services. Now with a single click the server administrator can request all users to change the password.
Now related tasks are presented in the form of a list where you can subscribe to tasks, vote for them and see the number of votes and comments in each of the related tasks.
In YouTrack 2018.3, you can change and save order in the list of selected dashboards.
The list of tasks similar to the current one, before it was possible to see through the tabs. We moved this option to the toolbar, in addition, it can be called up with the keyboard shortcut ^ Shift S.
And:
The release of YouTrack 2018.3 includes not only new changes, we also stopped supporting some functionality.
1. We have completely disabled the old view of the pages for creating and editing tasks. We hope you enjoy the new design!
2. Some time ago we announced in our blog that starting from 2018.3, new workflows need to be written in JavaScript. Workflows that are written in a separate workflow editor at MPS will continue to work until YouTrack 2019.1. Therefore, if you use workflows that are written in MPS, we recommend rewriting them in JavaScript. For more information, please read the documentation .
3. As it was written above, we published
documentation for the new version of the REST API. Once the new version covers all the resources and methods, the previous version of the API will be considered obsolete. If you have configured integration through REST API, please read the new version.

Try YouTrack 2018.3 and tell us how you like the new version! You can download a free version for 10 users or register in the cloud to use the trial version for 30 days.
If you are already using cloud YouTrack, then your server will be transferred to the new version on a schedule .
