Important: Migration of Bug Tracker & Git Repositories

[dpasukhi]

Dear OCCT Community and Partners,

We are writing to inform you of upcoming changes to the infrastructure. As part of our commitment to modernizing our development workflow, we are transitioning our legacy systems to more sustainable platforms.

Please review the following details regarding the Bug Tracker (Mantis), Issue Reporting, and Git repositories.

1. Legacy Bug Tracker (Mantis)

The current Bug Tracker (tracker.dev.opencascade.org) is being decommissioned.

• Public Tickets: We are converting the history of public tickets into a read-only public web archive to preserve the knowledge base. A link to this archive will be shared shortly.
• Private & Internal Tickets: For security reasons, private tickets will not be migrated to the public archive. They will be securely stored on internal OCCT servers.
• Accessing Past Private Data: If you are a commercial client or the reporter of a private ticket, you may request access to your specific data. Please reply to this email for these requests.

Note: Data will only be released to the email address associated with the original reporter for verification purposes.

2. How to Report New Issues

The workflow for reporting issues has changed:

• Community & Public Issues: All open-source bug reports should now be submitted via GitHub Issues.
• Commercial & Private Requests: For commercial support or issues containing confidential data, please contact us via our Jira system.

3. Git Repositories

The legacy Git repositories (git.dev.opencascade.org) will be disabled. Active development has been moved to GitHub.

Please update your remote URLs immediately:

• Active Development:
  https://github.com/Open-Cascade-SAS/OCCT
• Archives:
  https://github.com/Open-Cascade-SAS/OCCT-Archive

We appreciate your understanding and continued support as we improve our tools to serve you better.

Sincerely,
The Open CASCADE Technology Team
