Shale uses JIRA for tracking issues. To add new issues or comments in JIRA, you may need to register and log in first.

If you would like to report a bug, or raise an enhancement request with Shale please do the following:

1. Use the links below to search existing bug reports and RFEs (request for enhancement). If you find your issue listed, then please add a comment with your details.
2. Search the Search the mailing list archive. You may find your issue or idea has already been discussed.
3. Create a new issue in JIRA, for project "Shale" with the appropriate issue type. (NOTE: because JIRA now has a project set up for Shale, there is no longer a need to follow the former convention of prefixing issue subjects with "[shale]".)

Please also remember these points:

• the more information you provide, the better we can help you
• test cases are vital, particularly for any proposed enhancements
• the developers of Shale are all unpaid volunteers

For more information on subversion and creating patches see the Apache Contributors Guide.
