-It is with a huge sigh of relief that I announce this first beta of
-Roundup version 0.7.
+I'm proud to release version 1.4.16 of Roundup which introduces some
+minor features and, as usual, fixes some bugs:
+
+Features:
+
+- allow trackers to override the classes used to render properties in
+ templating per issue2550659 (thanks Ezio Melotti)
+- new mailgw configuration item "subject_updates_title": If set to "no"
+ a changed subject in a reply to an issue will not update the issue
+ title with the changed subject. Thanks to Arkadiusz Kita and Peter
+ Funk for requesting the feature and discussing the implementation.
+ http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.bug-tracking.roundup.user/10169
+- new rdbms config item sqlite_timeout makes the previously hard-coded
+ timeout of 30 seconds configurable. This is the time a client waits
+ for the locked database to become free before giving up. Used only for
+ SQLite backend.
+- new mailgw config item unpack_rfc822 that unpacks message attachments
+ of type message/rfc822 and attaches the individual parts instead of
+ attaching the whole message/rfc822 attachment to the roundup issue.
+
+Fixed:
+
+- fixed reporting of source missing warnings
+- relevant tests made locale independent, issue2550660 (thanks
+ Benni Baermann for reporting).
+- fix for incorrect except: syntax, issue2550661 (thanks Jakub Wilk)
+- No longer use the root logger, use a logger with prefix "roundup",
+ see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.bug-tracking.roundup.devel/5356
+- improve handling of '>' when URLs are converted to links, issue2550664
+ (thanks Ezio Melotti)
+- fixed registration, issue2550665 (thanks Timo Paulssen)
+- make sorting of multilinks in the web interface more robust, issue2550663
+- Fix charset of first text-part of outgoing multipart messages, thanks Dirk
+ Geschke for reporting, see
+ http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.bug-tracking.roundup.user/10223
+- Fix handling of incoming message/rfc822 attachments. These resulted in
+ a weird mail usage error because the email module threw a TypeError
+ which roundup interprets as a Reject exception. Fixes issue2550667.
+ Added regression tests for message/rfc822 attachments with and without
+ configured unpacking (mailgw unpack_rfc822, see Features above)
+ Thanks to Benni Baermann for reporting.
+- Allow search_popup macro to work with all db classes, issue2550567
+ (thanks John Kristensen)
+- lower memory footprint for (journal-) import
If you're upgrading from an older version of Roundup you *must* follow
the "Software Upgrade" guidelines given in the maintenance documentation.
-No, really, this is a BETA and if you don't follow the upgrading steps,
-particularly the bit about BACKING UP YOUR DATA, I'm NOT GOING TO BE HELD
-RESPONSIBLE. This release is NOT FOR GENERAL USE.
-
-I would *greatly* appreciate people giving this release a whirl with a
-copy of their existing setup. It's only through real-world testing of
-beta releases that we can ensure that older trackers will be OK.
-
-This release introduces far too many features to list here. Some
-highlights:
-
-- added postgresql backend (originally from sf patch 761740, many changes
- since)
-- RDBMS backends implement their session and one-time-key stores and
- full-text indexers; thus they are now performing their own locking
- internally
-- added new "actor" automatic property (indicates user who cause the last
- "activity")
-- all RDBMS backends have sensible data typed columns and indexes on
- several columns
-- we support confirming registration by replying to the email (sf bug
- 763668)
-- all HTML templating methods now automatically check for permissions
- (either view or edit as appropriate), greatly simplifying templates
-
-Roundup requires python 2.1.3 or later for correct operation.

The system will facilitate communication among the participants by managing
discussions and notifying interested parties when issues are edited. One of
the major design goals for Roundup that it be simple to get going. Roundup
-is therefore usable "out of the box" with any python 2.1+ installation. It
-doesn't even need to be "installed" to be operational, though a
-disutils-based install script is provided.
