The Trac Timeline

Table of Contents

Trac's timeline feature provides a historic view of the project in a single report.

It lists all Trac events that have occurred in chronological order, a brief description of each event and if applicable, the person responsible for the change.

The timeline lists these kinds of events:

  • Wiki page events — Creation and changes
  • Ticket events — Creation and resolution/closing and optionally other changes
  • Source code changes — Repository check-ins
  • Milestone — Milestone completed

Each event entry provides a hyperlink to the specific event in question, who authored the change as well as a brief excerpt of the actual comment or text, if available.

It is possible to filter the displayed events with the various filters in the option panel:

  • View changes from — the date from which to start displaying events (current date if empty). Events that occurred after this date will not be shown, only those that occurred before that date.
  • and X days back — how many days backwards in time to get events.
  • done by — the author of an event. It accepts a space-separated list of authors for which events should be included. Alternatively, if the author names are prefixed by a "-" character, then the events having those authors will be excluded, and all the others included. Single or double quotes can be used for specifying author names containing space characters. (since 0.12)
  • Changesets in all repositories — if you have more than one repository connected to your Trac project, then you can filter the output so events from specific repositories are not shown. (since 0.12)
  • Milestones reached — display or hide milestones reached.
  • Opened and closed tickets — display or hide ticket open or close events.
  • Wiki changes — display or hide Wiki change events.

See TracIni's [timeline] section for timeline configuration options.
