Version 1.2 comes with a minor improvement. Bug Watcher honors user preference "My Changes" as it notifies project or filter watchers on their own changes only if they specified so in their user preferences.

Version 1.1 introduces major feature enhancements:

• Watch filters: you can now watch your filters and receive notifications on issues matching the filters. E.g. if a new issue matching your filter is created, you automatically get notified. If another issue is created that does not match the filters (i.e. you are not interested in), you will not get notification.
   
• Plugin Configuration: Personal notification schemes can be restricted to users who are actors of a certain project role. Also, filter watching can be enabled/disabled.
   
• UI improvements: Watches project tab better displays personal notification schemes.
  
  
• New logo:  version 1.1 comes with a brand new logo.
