YouTrack 2020.1 arrives with various changes, of which an in-context translation is highlighted directly from the user interface, also add new custom fields for administrators to support certain complex use cases without writing the workflow and enhances VCS integrations for developers.
The jetbrains developers share:
We are delighted to announce the launch of YouTrack 2020.1! Now offers an additional way to express yourself with emoticon reactions. In addition, you will not lose any reaction thanks to the notifications that we have configured.
What's new in YouTrack 2020.1?
One of the main novelties that stand out in this new version of YouTrack 2020.1 is the integration of emoticons to reactions of the comments. With which at the moment the developers mention that these sand integrate in a limited way to respect the essence of YouTrack that "it is a ticket tracking tool, not an instant chat application" even if the novelty is well received, it can be implemented to a greater extent.
Another of the changes that stands out in this new version is the "Contextual translation" with which all those parts that do not yet have a translation to the user's preferred language are highlighted and you can suggest translations without exiting the application. This is to improve support for various languages.
“The translation process is visible in real time. Even the dynamic part of the app and strings containing reserved places can be translated in this way. Once activated, the functionality is available to all users of your YouTrack server. To avoid imposing this option on everyone on your team, you can create a separate YouTrack server dedicated to translation. «
On the other hand, we can also find the custom fields with which the new settings for custom fields limit the ability to view or update field values to members of a group or specific equipment.
This setting allows project administrators to apply very specific restrictions to specific fields, without having to use privacy settings or write complex workflows.
It also highlights the option to "share commitments with other projects" with this you can attach VCS modifications that mention the ticket identifiers.
With this you can configure the integration for just one project and share it with other projects. In this way, the other projects also receive the modifications associated with the tickets.
Another enhancement associated with the development of YouTrack 2020.1 is lto inclusion of an integrated definition file «Open API Swagger 3.0» which offers an easy way to explore the YouTrack REST API, allowing you to integrate your application with YouTrack.
Also TeamCity, you can also choose the tickets that will be associated with the build numbers more precisely. The YouTrack and TeamCity integration treats tickets mentioned in the VCS modifications included in a build as "associated" with the build. If the integration processes a build, the associated tickets that are in a resolved state (grayed out and struck through) are included in the update with a build number.
