Plugin adds a new link to project administration's component and version section, “Component Versions”. This new link allows you to define which versions are applicable for which components and also component specific release date and release status for the version. If you do not define any component version mapping; version selection works as before, that means you can select any version for any component for that project.
You can add new component specific versions using "Create Component Version" button on the right top of the screen. Once a component specific version is defined you can modify its start date, release date and description inline. You can filter component versions list using free text search. Just write a few character and only the component versions containing the entered search text in their version name, or component name are displayed. If you click on '...' button a context menu with following actions will be displayed:
...
This is why we don't allow explicit project level enable/disable setting for "component versions" like we do for subcomponents and sub-projects. If you don't want "Component Versions" just don't define any component versions for that project.
