Workflow management is definitely the greatest addition. Finally, YouTrack is able to fully cover all your issue tracking needs, even for the most complicated of processes or the largest of businesses.

On and off I’ve been working on a .NET library that is a wrapper around YouTrack ReST API’s. YouTrack offers quite a lot of possibilities when it comes to interacting with it. I’ve previously blogged about how we can easily create some HTML 5 graphs using nothing but the ReST API and some jQuery. Of course, we could also take advantage of this API from .NET using merely an HTTP client.
What YouTrackSharp brings to the table is a compact interface to work with YouTrack without worrying about things like cookies, URL’s and other HTTP concerns. It abstracts all that way to provide a simple series of classes to work with YouTrack.
Here’s a sample of a command line app I just wrote to make feature logging easier for ReSharper:
var connection = new Connection(”youtrack.jetbrains.net”);
connection.Authenticate(”username”, “password”);
var issueManagement = new IssueManagement(connection);
var issue = new Issue
{
Assignee = “ReSharperProjectManager”,
Summary = summary,
Description = description,
ProjectShortName = “RSRP”,
Type = “Feature”
};
issueManagement.CreateIssue(issue);
Console.WriteLine(”Feature request logged”);
Currently it allows you to Create Issues, Upload Attachments, Get Issues, Apply Commands to issues as well as a bunch of tasks on Projects. I’m adding features as and when I can, so if there’s something you’d like, log it here.
YouTrackSharp is available as a NuGet package and source code is available on GitHub. To use it, just do:
install-package YouTrackSharp
You first need to create a Connection object (providing host) and then either a IssueManagement or ProjectManagement based on what you need to do. The classes are simple and the methods should be self explanatory. The project also comes with tests using MSpec which describe many scenarios. If you have any questions, shout!
If you are a Ruby developer, know that Anna Zhdan, a colleague at JetBrains, has also started working on a Ruby library for YouTrack, which is available on GitHub

As you already know, YouTrack is hosted at Amazon Elastic Cloud (Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (N. Virginia)). AWS has been experiencing huge connection problems since Thursday, April 21, 2011 which meant that all YouTrack hosted instances were unavailable.
We would like to provide you with details of the issue we’ve experienced and decisions we had to make to solve the problem fast and effective.
AWS connection problems started on Thursday, April 21, at 10.00 GMT+1. Since it was the first time we were experiencing such a long service unavailability while using Amazon services, we decided to wait till the problem would be solved by Amazon. We’ve been waiting for about 24 hours, and still could not connect to Amazon EBS volumes.
On Friday, April 22, at 9.00 GMT+1, we decided to grab the latest backup we could possibly get from Amazon. It was a backup taken on Thursday, April 21, at 7.00 GMT+1, 3 hours before the connection was broken. Also, we decided to move our servers to another Amazon region (California), which was up and running stable at the moment. It took us around a day to move all servers and start all instances. So, on Friday, April 22, at around 21.00 GMT+1, all YouTrack hosted servers were up and running and all instances were available. According to our statistics, all servers are running normally since Friday night.
Please, contact our technical support if you still have any problems with your YouTrack instance.
Also, please let us know if you would like us to restore your data lost between the backup made and Amazon unavailability (Thursday, April 21, 7.00-10.00 GMT+1) time.
Conclusions: Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience. We’ve done everything possible to solve the problem fast and effective. As this is the fist time Amazon had that huge connection problems, definitely, it’s a good lesson to learn and just the right time to make conclusions. So, based on this experience, we decided to create technology that would prevent us from loosing any data between the backups made. We expect to implement it before the official release of YouTrack hosted.
Sincerely,
JetBrains YouTrack Team
YouTrack is hosted at Amazon Elastic Cloud and unfortunately it’s been experiencing huge connection problems since Yesterday, which means that all YouTrack hosted instances are unavailable.
You can check AWS status here (Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (N. Virginia)).
We apologies for inconvenience, and we are planning to move YouTrack hosted servers to another region (California) by the end of the day. So, according to our estimates, your YouTrack hosted instances should be up and running tomorrow.
This is the first time we are experiencing such a long service unavailability while using Amazon services.
