Redmine is an open source, web-based project management and defect tracking tool. It uses calendars and Gantt charts to assist with visual display of projects and progress. At the same time, it supports multi-project management. Redmine is a free and open source software solution that provides integrated project management features, issue tracking, and support for multiple version control options. While commercial project investigation tools like IBM Rational Team Concert are already powerful, those who want to stick with a free and open source solution may find Redmine a useful Scrum and Agile option. Since Redmine's design was heavily influenced by Rrac, their packages have many similar features. Redmine is built on the Ruby on Rails framework and is cross-platform and database-friendly.
Redmine 2.0.0 has been released. This version no longer supports Rails 2.3 and uses the latest Rails 3 version, which can be obtained through Rubyforge. New features will be available starting from version 2.1.0. Redmine also needs to continue to deal with some Rails 3 compatibility issues, so if you want to use some of the previous plugins, you will have to wait.
