BitNami Trac v1.0 released, Managing Users now easier

We have just released an updated BitNami Stack for Trac 1.0, the latest stable version of the popular bug tracking system. In the previous release candidate, we added Git support and now we also ship the popular Account Manager plugin.

If you are not familiar with Trac, it is an enhanced wiki and issue tracking system for software development projects. The project’s mission is to help developers write great software while staying out of the way.

The recently added Account Manager plugin offers features for managing user accounts easily:

• Enable authentication through a number of built-in authentication resources and some more by 3rd party extensions
• Allow users to register new accounts
• Allow existing users to change their passwords

As usual, Trac is now available in the form of ready-to-run installers, virtual machine images (VMs) and Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) for the Amazon Cloud.
