Release Notes

March 2026

New Features

  • The ISO Mate MCP server now supports 12 tool providers, giving AI assistants and IDE tools full access to your account. In addition to the existing issue management tools, you can now manage sprints, releases, user stories, and features (DevOps), test cases, test cycles, test executions, and test environments (QA), tasks and recurring tasks, incidents with status workflows and audit logs, compliance frameworks, requirements, controls, policies, procedures, evidence, and attestations, help desk tickets and canned responses, notes with folders and tags, custom object types and entries with schema validation, workflow automations with execution history and configuration discovery, and contacts. Read-only billing tools are also available for viewing subscription and invoice details. All tools are secured with scoped API tokens and follow the resource/operation pattern for consistent usage across providers.
  • ISO Mate now supports project-based issue organization and Git repository integrations. Create projects with unique key prefixes (e.g., PROJ, API, WEB) to group issues under a shared namespace, then connect GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket repositories using personal access tokens, fine-grained tokens, or repository access tokens. A background sync runs every 15 minutes to match issue keys in branch names, commit messages, and PR titles, automatically linking Git activity to the correct issues. From the issue detail page, you can view all linked branches, commits, and pull requests grouped by repository, create branches and draft pull requests directly in connected repos, and manage linked items with unlink, delete, or close actions. A manual refresh button on the Git Activity card lets you trigger an on-demand sync without waiting for the next scheduled run. Projects also include a dedicated view page showing project details with associated issues, and improved CSV/PDF exports that include repository connections and issue counts.
  • Get instant answers about ISO Mate directly inside the platform. The new AI Support Chat is a built-in assistant powered by Amazon Bedrock that can answer questions about features, workflows, and configuration using the ISO Mate knowledge base. To ensure fair usage, AI chat is limited to 20 messages per hour per user.
  • Compose emails faster with the new AI-powered drafting and refinement tools built into the email editor. Describe what you want to say, pick a tone (professional, friendly, formal, or concise), and let AI generate a polished draft for you. Already have content? Use the Refine tab to make it shorter, longer, more formal, friendlier, or fix grammar with one click, or provide custom instructions for more specific changes. AI-generated content can be inserted at your cursor position or used to replace the editor content entirely. Responses stream in real time so you can see the output as it’s being written. Available in English, Spanish, and German.

Feature Updates

  • Issues can now be prioritized using Impact, Confidence, and Ease scores (1 to 10). The system auto-calculates a composite ICE score factoring in issue type weight and source multiplier (internal vs external). Includes a sortable ICE column on the list page, inline editing, source filtering, and export support.

Improvements

  • List filters are replaced with token-based search bars with “is” / “is not” operators, so you can include or exclude values (e.g., “Status is not Done”).
  • Free-text search is built right into the same token-based search bar with debounce.
  • Sort field and direction controls sit alongside the token-based search bar, and stay in sync with table column header sorting.
  • Each search token can be removed individually, or you can clear all filters at once.
  • The token-based search bar is consistent across all pages, same interaction pattern everywhere.
  • Improved the dashboard issues summary widget to exclude Epics and Subtasks from counts, showing only actionable work items (Stories, Tasks, Bugs). Added a breakdown by issue type for better workload visibility.
  • Task list now defaults to showing only incomplete tasks (pending, in progress, cancelled) on load, keeping the focus on actionable items. Users can still view completed tasks by changing the filter.
  • Shortened token expiry durations for improved security. Password reset tokens now expire after 30 minutes (was 60), email verification after 1 hour (was 24 hours), and user invitations after 4 hours.
  • Added the ability to drag-and-drop reorder mailboxes in the email sidebar. Sort order is stored per user so each user can customize their own mailbox arrangement.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed email folder unread counts showing stale values after marking emails as read/unread or archiving. Label folders now recalculate counts correctly alongside the primary folder.
  • Fixed issue comments not displaying on the issue detail page. Added full CRUD support for issue comments including API endpoints, frontend service, and UI.
  • Fixed an issue where “Reply All” only sent to the original sender, ignoring CC recipients and backend have been corrected.
  • Revoked API tokens no longer appear in the token list. The backend now filters out revoked tokens, and the success snackbar positioning has been corrected to match app-wide standards.
  • The assignee button and selector on subtasks now works correctly when editing an issue.
  • Inbound email counts now refresh in real-time while navigating the app, without requiring a manual reload.
  • Mailbox sync now reports the correct number of emails processed.
  • Super admins can now view feedback screenshots in the admin console. Added thumbnail display with click-to-enlarge functionality.
  • Overdue day calculations on tasks now round correctly.

Security

  • SVG file uploads in chat are now sanitized to strip malicious content (scripts, event handlers, foreignObject elements). A restrictive Content-Security-Policy header is also applied when serving SVGs.
