Ditz version 0.4 has been released! This release features improved git  
integration.

- [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 git, darcs, Mercurial, and  
Bazaar. It  
can also be used with centralized systems like SVN.

Ditz maintains an issue database directory on disk, with files written  
in a  
line-based and human-editable format. This directory can be kept under  
version  
control, alongside project code.

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