versions. Erinn and I tried to delete old versions and found that it's safe to do so. The deleted version string in a ticket will remain the same, but one cannot create new tickets using the deleted version or change the version field of existing tickets to it.
If a vandal changes the version field of an existing ticket, we will be unable to undo that change.
Ugh, you're right. Haven't thought of that case. I'll leave old versions untouched for the moment and will only add new versions to the list.
I would still prefer that we make the ‘Version’ field a plain text-entry field.
I think if we don't give users a list of choices, the field will become even less useful.
I think we still won't add new versions to the list reliably, and I assume you don't plan to add the many different TBB version numbers to the list.
Maybe we should add a line "Add version string to Trac" to the release process?
Best, Karsten
