Bugzilla is a database for bugs. It lets people report bugs and assigns these bugs to the appropriate developers. Developers can use bugzilla to keep a to-do list as well as to prioritize, schedule and track dependencies.

What's New

Version 4.2rc1:

Experimental SQLite Support:
SQLite is now supported by Bugzilla and becomes the 4th supported database besides MySQL, PostgreSQL and Oracle. SQLite support must be considered as experimental, at least till the next major release.Note that use of SQLite is only recommended for small installations. Larger installations should use MySQL, PostgreSQL, or Oracle.
Creating an Attachment by Pasting Text Into a Text Field:
You can now create a new attachment simply by pasting some text into a text field, in addition to the normal upload process for attachments.
HTML Bugmail:
By default, bugmails (email notifications about changes to bugs) are now sent in an HTML format that is more readable than the old text format. Those who prefer the old text format can still choose it in their Preferences, however.
Improved Searching System:
The Custom Search section in the Advanced Search page has been redesigned to work in a more sensible way. Complex queries are easier to build and have more sensible results, as they are built using a more intuitive logic. Some very complicated queries are still impossible to generate, though. Things should improve in future releases.
Disabling Old Components, Versions and Milestones:
Older components, versions and milestones can now be disabled. Bugs already using them are not affected, but these values will no longer be available for new bugs.
Displaying a Custom Field Value Based on Multiple Values of Another Field:
A custom field can now be displayed based on multiple values of another field. (For example, one custom field could now appear in multiple products.) Previously, you could only display a custom field based on a single value of another field.
Auditing of All Changes Within Bugzilla:
Most changes made through the admin interface are now logged to the database, in the audit_log table. There is no UI to access this table yet, but developers are free to create their own tools to track changes made into their installation. This is only a first step, and improvements are expected in future releases.
Accessibility Improvements:
A project has started thanks to Francisco Donalisio from IBM to make Bugzilla compliant with the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative standards. A lot more work still needs to be done, but we expect a much better compatibility for the next major release.

Those intending to install this Release Candidate are strongly advised to read the full release notes before proceeding.

Bugzilla is for developing programs efficiently. If you don't know how it works, don't review it.

As stated before, Firebird is a cross-platform product. That is why they don't spend extra hours trying to make it "mac-ish" or "windows-esque." They try to make good programs that any platform can use effectively.

Super product. Takes a bit of work, to set up, but not too bad. It's perfect for capturing specifics about and assisting with the management of software bugs in a distributed development environment.

Mozilla has done a great job making this relevant and useful to the software development team.

This is an excellent bug tracking system which works extremely well on Mac OS X. I use it for all my development activities, even when the development itself is done on a PC. Simple, clear, easy to use. A little tricky to set up, but you can't beat the price!

It is a sad thing to give only one star because you don't understand it. I use Bugzilla in a professional/production environment and it is an invaluable tool. And comments about firebird in it have nothing to do with the product, which is resolutely cross-platform.
