We’re proud to announce the release of Launchpad 2.1.12 and two exciting new ways for other services to use data in Launchpad.

Create a Launchpad plugin for your bug tracker

Launchpad can already import the status of a bug report that’s in another tracker, such as Debian’s BTS or Sourceforge.

Recently, we also announced two plugins — for Bugzilla and Trac — that enable two-way communication, starting off with sharing a bug’s comment history between those trackers and Launchpad.

We’ve published our bug plugin API on the help wiki, so now anyone can create their own plugins to enable other bug trackers to communicate directly with Launchpad.

Graham has more in his blog post.

Launchpad modules for Drupal 5.x

Building on Launchpad’s OpenID support, we’ve produced two Drupal 5.x modules that let you:

• use Launchpad to authenticate your Drupal site’s visitors
• assign Drupal roles based on someone’s Launchpad team memberships.

We’re working on support for Drupal 6.x right now.

Full details of 2.1.12

If you filter Launchpad bug mail, look out for a new header:

X-Launchpad-Bug-Commenters

It lists, alphabetically, everyone who has commented on the bug, including the original poster, with each name separated by spaces.

To get the full details of the Launchpad 2.1.12 release, have a look at its milestone page.

If you come across a bug, please report it!

See you next year!

We’ll be back in the new year with Launchpad 2.2.1 on the 28th January.

There are two new ways to get Launchpad news, via Twitter and identi.ca:

• http://twitter.com/launchpad_net
• http://identi.ca/launchpad

  And don’t forget the Launchpad News blog!

  As always, you can join us in #launchpad on Freenode and at the new home of the launchpad-users mailing list.
