In Kiln 2.0 we introduced a soup-to-nuts HTTP+JSON Read/Write API. It gives you nearly complete programatic access to your Kiln account and all of the assets you have there. Want to integrate Kiln with your age-old-custom-built bug tracker? Not a problem.

All of the documentation that you need is located on the Kiln Developers Wiki. That includes the super-helpful quick-start guide which will give you all the information you need to write your first Kiln API "Hello, World".

With the addition of Web Hooks, you can easily integrate Kiln with your favorite bug tracker, continuous integration suite, or other source control system.. We've even got great documentation on how to start using web hooks today.

You can now filter your case list for cases that were resolved between two tags in Kiln. This deeper connection between your case list and source code activity means better control over the release process, improved forensic knowledge of what happened in the past, and a totally new way to facilitate the communication between development and QA.

Even if you don't use the filter controls, you can see the same information for any individual case in the improved "Checkins" dialog.

As a developer, you're already overloaded with information. Emails, customer issues, bugs, documentation. FogBugz does an excellent job of allowing you to manage all of that information through the use of filters and notifications. Kiln extends FogBugz' workflow by implementing code reviews as FogBugz cases.

You can search and sort reviews from FogBugz, add them to your customized filters, subscribe to them for change notifications, and star them for later reference—just like you do right now with your cases. Because code reviews work with your existing FogBugz workflow, they're trivial to add to your routine—not a bolt-on afterthought like other systems.

Kiln leverages FogBugz's existing authentication system to make sure you have one less thing to remember. Log on once, to either FogBugz or Kiln, and you're all set.

This means that switching between FogBugz and Kiln is completely seamless for users. And administrators everywhere can rejoice that there is not yet another system to create accounts on when a new developer starts working.
