RedMica 3.2: In-Depth Guide to New Features

On May 28, 2025 JST, RedMica, a Redmine-compatible software, version 3.2.0 was released.

RedMica 3.2 will include all features from Redmine 6.0.5, which was released on April 20, 2025 (Central European Time), as well as new features that have been committed for the next version of Redmine.

Main New Features of RedMica 3.2

• Reaction Feature (Like button)
• Stick the issue subject to the top of the screen
• CommonMark Markdown alert display
• Button to copy text formatted with <pre> tags to the clipboard
• Optimized Display Size When Pasting Images on High-Resolution Displays
• Increased Information in Activity Screen
• Customize columns in the list of related and sub issues
• Progress Bar Custom Field
• Add setting to allow/deny time logging on closed issues
• Add initials to the Gravatar icon's default

Reaction Feature (Like button)

A reaction feature (also known as a "like button") has been added, allowing users to react to issues, issue comments, news, and forums with a single click.

• Reaction targets: Issues, Issue Comments, News, Forums
• Names of the 10 most recent users who reacted will be displayed
• If you do not wish to use this feature, you can turn it off in "Administration" → "Settings" screen, "General" tab, "Enable reactions".

Stick the issue subject to the top of the screen

The issue subject can now be fixed at the top of the screen, allowing you to confirm the current subject even while editing. This also helps prevent accidentally updating the wrong issue.

CommonMark Markdown alert display

Markdown now supports alert box notation to emphasize important information. This makes warnings and supplementary information visually stand out in wikis and issues, improving readability and communication.

Button to copy text formatted with <pre> tags to the clipboard

You can now copy the contents of code blocks (parts enclosed by Markdown's ``` or Textile's <pre>) with a single click. A copy button will appear when you hover your mouse over a code block.

Optimized Display Size When Pasting Images on High-Resolution Displays

When pasting images into issues or wikis, images previously appeared twice as large on high-resolution displays. RedMica 3.2 now identifies the display's pixel density and displays images at the appropriate size.

Increased Information in Activity Screen

The maximum displayed text limit has been increased from 120 characters to 240 characters. Furthermore, by omitting the display of subsequent lines of continuous multi-line quotes, the amount of information displayed for each event on the activity screen has increased, making it easier to grasp the content in more detail.

Before version

New version

Customize columns in the list of related and sub issues

You can now customize the fields displayed in the sub issue and related issue sections of a issue according to your operational needs.
This can be configured in "Administration" → "Settings" → "Issue tracking" tab under "Items to display in the related issues and child issues list".

Progress Bar Custom Field

A new "Progress bar" format will be added for custom fields. Separate from the standard "% Done" field, this allows you to input a percentage value as a custom field. This enables you to visualize aspects of progress or degree that differ from the standard "% Done" ratio, which represents how much of a issue's work is finished.

Add setting to allow/deny time logging on closed issues

It is now possible to prohibit logging time against completed issues.

Add initials to the Gravatar icon's default

When "Use Gravatar icons" is enabled, the default icon displayed for users without a registered Gravatar icon can be selected under "Default Gravatar icon". "Initials" has been added to these options. This allows icons based on the user's name to be displayed, making it easier to identify individuals than before.

• You can set this from "Administration" → "Settings" screen, "Display" tab, "Default Gravatar icon".
• Selecting "Initials" will send a part of the user's name (initials) to www.gravatar.com. We recommend considering whether this is acceptable from a privacy perspective beforehand.
