{note:title=YouTrack 6.0 Early Access Program is Officially Closed!}\\ Dear YouTrack EAP users, YouTrack 6.0 is successfully released and is *[available on our site|http://www.jetbrains.com/youtrack/download/get_youtrack.html]*. Thank you all for your feedback and suggestions\! We highly appreciate your help\! \\ \\ _Sincerely yours,_ _YouTrack Team_ {note} |

Don't hesitate to grab your chance and influence the upcoming release! We would highly appreciate your feedback, comments and suggestions. You are most welcome to share your opinion with us!
With this EAP we introduce a new approach to evaluation of new features in EAP builds. By default, visibility (hence, availability) of new features in EAP builds are controlled by so called 'Feature Flags'. That is, you can enable and disable these features at your will.
Basically, a feature-flag is a JVM '-D' start parameter that you must provide when you start your YouTrack Standalone EAP Build. You can provide these parameters either in the starting command (thus features will be enabled for the current session only) or in the configuration file of your JVM (thus you don't need to control constantly wether you have enabled the feature or not).
Feature-flags are divided in two types:
-Djetbrains.youtrack.feature.newReports=true or -Djetbrains.youtrack.feature.newReports=Admins,youtrack-developers |
For more information about YouTrack Java Start Parameters please refer to the corresponding page in the main documentation space.
If a parameter supports customizing user groups, then you should provide a comma-separated list of groups.
Feature |
Java Start Parameter |
Custom User Groups |
---|---|---|
New 'Geeky' UI |
-Djetbrains.youtrack.feature.newUi=true |
Yes |
New Reports Screen |
-Djetbrains.youtrack.feature.newReports=true |
Yes |
Canvas Image Tool |
-Djetbrains.youtrack.feature.canvasImageTool=true |
Yes |
Customizable Keyboard Shortcuts |
-Djetbrains.youtrack.feature.customShortcuts=true |
No |
|
In any other regard, installation/running procedures are similar to those of the released builds.
We strongly recommend that you evaluate YouTrack 'Harmony' EAP builds in a test environment, since you will not be able to revert to YouTrack 5.x other than by rolling back to a pre-upgrade backup of your database and losing your progress along the way! |

For YouTrack InCloud users we have created the following EAP instance to try out the newest features:
In addition to these instances, we have also created general [*YouTrack Gentle EAP Sandbox*|https://sandbox-lang-test.myjetbrains.com/youtrack] InCloud instance, which allows you to check how the translations can be switched. Log in as a Guest user just to view current issues or register a new user account. Please note that any newly registered user account has administrator's permissions in order to be able to switch system languages. However, please remember that this is not your own personal instance and respect your co-evaluators: Please don't make any global changes, that might affect their work. We rely on your common sense |
