===Patches===
===Extension (or Patches)===


Even the latest stable release of Bugzilla requires a little modification to work properly with the BzAPI. Unfortunately, it is not possible to support all the necessary functionality without some changes to Bugzilla itself, which the Bugzilla team have declined to take.  
Even the latest stable release of Bugzilla requires a little modification to work properly with the BzAPI. Unfortunately, it is not possible to support all the necessary functionality without some changes to Bugzilla itself, which the Bugzilla team have declined to take.  


The patch and template in question are in the BzAPI distribution from version 0.8 onwards. See the INSTALL file for details.  
So, for Bugzilla 3.6 and above, there is a Bugzilla Extension which adds the necessary functionality. Find it in <tt>$BZAPI_HOME/extension</tt>; copy the <tt>BzAPI</tt> directory from there into <tt>$BUGZILLA_HOME/extensions</tt>.


If you are using an earlier version, you need this info:
If you are on 3.4 or below, you need a patch and a template. These are shipped  in the BzAPI distribution, in the <tt>patches</tt> directory, from version 0.8 onwards. See the INSTALL file for details.


*  [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=521398 Make legacy XML interface supply more data (flags, etc.)] - for 3.4 only; you'll need patch version 8a.
Also, if you are using non-ASCII characters at all, you need to patch the BZ::Client module, which has an encoding bug. The patch for that is also in the <tt>patches</tt> directory.
* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=523325 JSON template for config.cgi] - for 3.4 and 3.6; you'll need the original patch v.1 and then the [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=475044 most recent config.json.tmpl], which is attached to a different bug.
