We’re really excited to announce this version. There are a lot of little fixes in the Eclipse client and in the Ant client. But the big news: the stats page where you can benchmark your CRAP score against other projects anonymously or publicly, now allows you to tag your projects with labels and to see historical trends for your score.

The tag system will allow you to compare your project against other projects that share the same tags. For example, you could tag your application’s CRAP scores with ‘finance’, ‘v1.0′, ‘java’, ‘agile_methodology’, or whatever else. Then you can compare against other projects tagged ‘finance’, ‘v1.0′, and so on. Even without sharing your project, you can view projects by collections of tags. http://www.crap4j.org/benchmark/stats/.

We hope this will bring new meaning to the CRAP score, and eventually all metrics. If you previously uploaded a project, please re-upload it and add some tags to it.

We’re really excited to hear how people like this new feature. Please contact us, post on the forum, file bugs and feature requests, or if you really like it, just send cash (small and large bills accepted.)

Bob and Alberto
