- Productivity Experts Expand Into Issue Tracking With a Fast,

JetBrains, creators of intelligent, productivity-enhancing development
tools, today announced the release of YouTrack 1.0 Beta, the company's brand
new bug and issue tracking system.

JetBrains drew inspiration from the fact that working with issue-tracking
tools generally consumes so much of developers' time. The company designed
its own web-based, keyboard-centric issue tracker to help themselves and
other development teams process bugs and requests faster and easier than ever
before.

"As developers and users of our own products, we'd grown unhappy with how
long it took to report and process bugs with existing issue-tracking
systems," said Vadim Gurov, YouTrack Team Lead. "We set out to change that,
and ended up with a fast, intuitive tool that's friendly to both developers
and casual bug reporters. YouTrack packs the majority of its issue-handling
functionality in just two controls - a search box and a command window. It
really couldn't be any simpler!"

YouTrack offers the following key features:

    - Bug reporting with a single shortcut from anywhere within the
      product.
    - Query-based search with auto-completion and highlighting.
    - Intuitive commands to quickly execute batch operations on
      selected issues.
    - Natural-language-like query and command syntax.
    - Extensive keyboard support for creating, editing, and navigating
      between issues easily.
    - AJAX-based user interface for extremely fast issue handling.

YouTrack is the first mature product developed using JetBrains Meta
Programming System (MPS). Moreover, JetBrains has been successfully using
YouTrack with its own development projects, resulting in significant time
savings and enhanced user enthusiasm.
