Araxis Ketura Manager is a different approach to project management and issue (bug/defect) tracking. Organize your work. Track time. Manage customer requests and other work issues. Schedule and deliver your team projects on time and within budget.

Benefits:

• Accurate project schedules. Ketura predicts when work will be done and how long it will take.
• Designed for changing circumstances.
• Manage all your projects in one system.
• Built-in timesheets.
• Prevent schedule slips before they happen.
• Control your budget, not just the project schedule.
• Understand what's happened. Who worked on an issue, milestone or project? How long did it take? How much did it cost? 8. Ketura shows you long-term trends in the cost and quantity of work required to complete projects and milestones. 9. Automatic, personalized to-do lists for all team members. 10. Simple to get started; sophisticated depth when you need it.

• This release of Ketura incorporates a built-in database engine different from that in Ketura 2009.1568 and earlier releases. It is imperative that customers upgrading from such older releases follow the Special Procedure for Upgrading From Older Ketura Releases to Ketura 2009.1587 or Later (found here). These special instructions do not need to be followed if you are upgrading from Ketura 2009.1587 or later.
• The Ketura server now supports OS X Mountain Lion and Windows 8. Compatibility with OS X Lion has also been improved. The Ketura server no longer supports OS X Leopard. [I13204, I12802, I13450, I13239]
• On OS X, installation of the Ketura server no longer endeavours to add an exception to the OS X application firewall. You may therefore need to configure the system firewall manually to give users of other machines on your network access to Ketura. For more information, see Installing a Ketura Server [I13203]
• The Ketura server on OS X is now compatible with the Oracle Java 7 JDK. [I13401]
• On OS X, the Ketura setup package and Ketura Manager application have been digitally signed to accommodate the OS X Gatekeeper security feature. [I13292]
• On OS X, the Ketura Manager application icon artwork includes all the resolutions required for Retina displays. [I13406]
• Support for Microsoft SQL Server has been deprecated. Very few customers were using this capability as the built-in database is more than adequate for typical scenarios. SQL Server support has therefore not been tested in this release (although it is expected to work) and will be removed entirely in a future release. [I13489]
• Duplicate work journal entries are no longer created when a project has been duplicated. [I13200]
• A null pointer exception that could occur when determining the hostname during installation on Windows has been resolved. [I13417]
• The Oracle JDK included with the Windows version of the Ketura server has been updated. [I13496]
• A minor cosmetic improvement has been made to the About window in the Ketura Manager on OS X. [I13508]
• The version number in the metadata for the Ketura Manager application on OS X has been corrected. [I13515]
• The major version number has been updated to 2012, to reflect the year of release. [I13202]
