Hello,
We are happy to announce the immediate availability of TestRail 3.0! This is a major release and we are really excited about the new version. It introduces many often requested features such as an all-new reporting area with 14 built-in report templates, great support for scheduling, sharing, and emailing reports, custom reports and much more. Also included is a new built-in API with a more consistent interface, lots of new and useful API methods and support for user permissions and authentication. We've also added new defect plugins for often requested issue trackers such as Assembla, Bitbucket, GitHub and Rally and also further improved the Jira integration.
Make sure to also take a look at the blog posting to see the new features in action:
