Apple has re-launched a bug reporting tool known as “Radar” on its Developer Site, allowing coders to inform the company of the emergence of bugs, big and small.

Developers reportedly noticed a new design which “opens up the door for Apple to add new functionality,” according to 9to5mac, and offers more clarity when a bug has already been submitted.

Searching for filed bug reports is improved, and attaching files is a more intuitive affair now. Moreover, the tool auto-saves bug report write-ups once every five minutes.

Registered Apple developers can find the updated bug reporting tool at this address: https://bugreport.apple.com/problem/viewproblem.

Its interface is chock-full of old graphical elements from iOS and OS X, and offers specialized bug reporting forms for Developer Tools, iTunes Connect, iOS SDK, OS X SDK, iOS and OS X clients, Sample Code, iCloud, various first-party apps from Apple (like iTunes, QuickTime and the iLive and iWork suites), as well as for hardware products like the iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Macs, and event printers.
