RedmineNB V1.1 for NetBeans 7.2.1 released

RedmineNB V1.1 has been just released. It includes new features and many bugfixes for the V1.0.x releases. Since RedmineNB has an implementation dependency to the Issue Tracking module, this version is only compatible with the NetBeans IDE 7.2.1 (Build 201210100934).

A Redmine V1.3+ installation is recommended for best compatibility (tested against Redmine V2.1.0). There are some limitations in the functionality since the used Redmine REST API is not yet fully developed. This page gives an overview of the Redmine REST API functionality.
