Ditz version 0.3 has been released!

- [http://ditz.rubyforge.org](http://ditz.rubyforge.org)

Ditz is a simple, light-weight distributed issue tracker designed to  
work with  
distributed version control systems like darcs and git. Ditz maintains  
an issue  
database directory on disk, with files written in a line-based and  
human-  
editable format. This directory is kept under version control alongside  
project code. Changes in issue state is handled by version control like  
code  
change: included as part of a commit, merged with changes from other  
developers, conflict-resolved in the standard manner, etc.

Ditz provides a simple, console-based interface for creating and  
updating the  
issue database files, and some rudimentary HTML generation capabilities  
for  
producing world-readable status pages. It offers no central public  
method of  
bug submission.
