We are pleased to announce the release of Klaros-Testmanagement version 3.6.12.

This release contains a second round of performance improvements with a reworking of the caching system. Among the added features are the import of test cases from an Excel format, support for MantisBT 1.2.9 and extension of the Plan section, linking jobs more closely with test execution and also adding the possibility to limit testers to the execution of jobs. In addition, a number of areas were improved, such as the handling of large attachments and a change of color for "dirty" items - items which have been altered but not saved.

The full change list has been included below.

This maintenance fixes the remaining known bugs of the 3.6 release.

Existing users are strongly encouraged to upgrade.

Enjoy working with Klaros-Testmanagement
