Charisma, the MPS-based Issue Tracker, Goes EAP!

We have opened the very first Early Access Program for our upcoming product - issue tracker code-named Charisma (by the way, it has its own community nearby).

Before today, this home-grown web application has only been used to track bugs in MPS, TeamCity, and internal JetBrains projects. From now on, you can download Charisma EAP builds and try them out in your own environment.

For MPS enthusiasts, this is an especially significant event because Charisma is the first ever public JetBrains product that has been developed using MPS.

Here's a number of other facts about Charisma:

• It offers a lightweight AJAX-based user interface to make working with issues really fast.
• It provides extensive keyboard support to make it easy to create, edit, and navigate between issues using keyboard shortcuts.
• It brings an alternative to traditional issue filters - a compact search box for query-based issue search.
• It supports commands to quickly execute batch operations upon selected queries.

After you have downloaded, installed and played with Charisma, please let us know about any bugs that you may encounter, and don't hesitate to make feature requests - you can do both here.

You can read useful tips and watch Charisma demos on its Welcome page, under the "Hints" tab.
