Forum Discussion
Welcome to Collaborator v10.1!
Collaborator 10.1 is the latest release from SmartBear Software’s dev collaboration team. This new version introduces a lot of fantastic new features!
Bitbucket Support
This release introduces support for Atlassian’s Bitbucket hosted/SaaS offering. Users can now create Collaborator code reviews when a pull request is initiated in Bitbucket. The integration is driven through a webhooks and easily allows Collaborator to be the peer review tool for teams using Bitbucket as their repository management solution. Just like the GitHub integration, pull requests can be automatically merged when the review completes, and feature branches deleted if you choose.
GitHub
We continue to improve our GitHub integration for teams that need more than a basic conversation model for reviews. In Collaborator 10.1, pull requests can automatically be merged when a review completes. In addition to this capability, features branches can also be deleted automatically. Finally, checkins can be gated to ensure that reviews are actually taking place.
Group Administration
In this release a new level of administration has been added to Collaborator. The Group Administration capabilities provide the following:
- Group Admins can now be granted granular access to modify individual sections of the admin area.
- Templates can be assigned to groups, which ensures that only certain templates can be selected by users for used within a review. Additionally, a default template can be configured for any given group
Savings Report
Our savings report allows you to determine how much money is being saved from performing reviews. It calculates costs based on time savings as well as defect related savings. To access this report navigate to Admin > Savings Report.
RTC Improvements
- Ability to select which history version is used as the before diff. This is an improvement over the previous N-1 version that was selected by default.
- Backported 10.x features to 9303 version of Collaborator. This allows support of for RTC Eclipse client versions 4, 5, and 6.
Admin UI Improvements
The Admin section of the UI has been modified to group related items together in a more intuitive manner. As an example, all items related to templates are listed as child items in the navigation menu.
Performance Improvements
We have modified how are conversation model is handled within the database. This has allowed for improved review load times. In our testing, we have seen as much as 98% improvements when loading conversations within the review.
