"Zarro Boogs" is intended as a 'buggy' statement itself (a misspelling of "zero bugs") and is thus a meta-statement about the nature of software debugging, implying that even when no bugs have been identified, some may exist. While the potential exists in the code to turn Bugzilla into a technical support ticket system, task management tool, or project management tool, Bugzilla's developers have chosen to focus on the task of designing a system to track software defects.īugzilla returns the string "zarro boogs found" instead of "0 bugs found" when a search for bugs returns no results. īugzilla 3.0 was released on and brought a refreshed UI, an XML-RPC interface, custom fields and resolutions, mod_perl support, shared saved searches, and improved UTF-8 support, along with other changes.īugzilla 4.0 was released on Februand Bugzilla 5.0 was released in July 2015. In July 2001, facing distraction from her other responsibilities in Netscape, Hernandez handed control to Dave Miller, who was still in charge as of 2020.
Under her leadership, some of the regular contributors were coerced into taking more responsibility, and Bugzilla development became more community-driven. In April 2000, Weissman handed over control of the Bugzilla project to Tara Hernandez. īugzilla 2.0 was the result of that port to Perl, and the first version was released to the public via anonymous CVS. Bugzilla was originally written in Tcl, but Weissman decided to port it to Perl before its release as part of Netscape's early open-source code drops, in the hope that more people would be able to contribute to it, given that Perl seemed to be a more popular language at the time. Bugzilla was originally devised by Terry Weissman in 1998 for the nascent project, as an open source application to replace the in-house system then in use at Netscape Communications for tracking defects in the Netscape Communicator suite.
