Change log

If you are wondering which bug fixes have been included within an XTM Cloud release or if you want to quickly find more information about a specific bug fix, the Change log tab is right for you.

In the Changelog section, you can find more information about bug fixes based on:

  • Version → XTM Cloud released version (for example, 13.7).

  • Issue type → Development task category, for example, bug.

  • Text Search → Here you can type some key words to describe the task you are looking for. The search goes through the content of the Description table column.

You can sort content by each column. You can also find additional information in the tooltip next to each column header.


XTM Comparison Tool

General information

If you are wondering which bug fixes have been introduced between two XTM Cloud major or minor releases, the Comparison tool tab is right for you.

To perform a comparison, you need to know the package number that is applicable to you, so that you can fill the relevant information in the Current Package and Package to be Installed fields.

How to find your Current Package and your Current XTM version

XTM Cloud 13.8 or higher

If you are on the XTM Cloud 13.8 version or higher, go to the help section located at the right top corner of the navigation bar, then find the number under the XTM version header.

  1. Current XTM version.

  2. Current package.

XTM Cloud 13.7 or lower

If you are on the XTM Cloud 13.7 version or lower, add the /project-manager-gui/buildinfo.txt ending to your URL, for example: https://www.xtm-cloud.com/project-manager-gui/buildinfo.txt.

Note that http://www.xtm-cloud.com may vary from client to client if you are on the Private Cloud (PVC) or Suite installation.

 

This will be your Current package.

How to find your Package to be Installed

This is the package you might want to upgrade/update to.

  1. If you are a Private Cloud or Suite client, you might already have the desired new package installed on your TEST/DEV/UAT server. In this case, you can take the package number from that server in the same way as described in How to find your Current Package and Current XTM version. Otherwise, refer to step 2 below.

  2. If you cannot take the package number from a TEST instance, refer to the two small tables in the top right-hand corner of the screen. These tables show the newest packages available for the last XTM Cloud STS (short-term support) or LTS (long-term support) version. Simply copy the package number from one of the tables and paste it into the Version to be Installed field.

For additional information on STS and LTS releases, refer to XTM Release Strategy Overview document.
