Trac is an open source, Web-based project management and bug tracking system. It has been adopted by a variety of organizations for use as a bug tracking system for both free and open-source software and proprietary projects and products. Trac integrates with major version control systems including ("out of the box") Subversion and Git. Trac is used, among others, by the Internet Research Task Force,Django,FFmpeg,jQuery UI,OpenStreetMap,WebKit and WordPress.
Trac is available on all major operating systems including Windows via Installer or Bitnami,OS X via MacPorts or pkgsrc, Debian,Ubuntu,Arch Linux or FreeBSD, as well as on various cloud hosting services.
Inspired by CVSTrac, Jonas Borgström and Daniel Lundin from Edgewall Software started writing svntrac in August 2003 using SQLite and Subversion. In December 2003 they renamed it to Trac. In February 2004 the Trac version was changed first from 0.0.1 to 0.1 and then directly from 0.1 to 0.5. That release was followed in March 2004 by 0.6 and 0.7, and 0.8 in November 2004.
