We are pleased to announce the release of Klaros-Testmanagement version 4.9.7.

This is a maintentance release fixing a regression in 4.9.6 where the issue details page was not accessible for non-Jira issue trackers and adding several performance related improvements.

Overall 5 improvements and 4 stability fixes have been implemented in this release. Existing users are encouraged to upgrade.

What is new in Klaros-Testmanagement Version 4.9?

• The reusable test segments, that had been introduced in Klaros-Testmanagement 4.8,  can now be used in a new way when they are included in test cases. By pressing the edit button on included steps, they can now be edited like any other test case step.
• Klaros-Testmanagement Enterprise Edition now supports single sign-on via CAS  (Central Authentication Service).
• In addition to our RESTful Remote API, we've implemented another RESTful service,  which allows to create backup files of single projects via remote requests.
• The print pages have been considerably expanded, including additional information previously only displayed on the overview tabs.
