-This is the second beta release of Roundup version 0.7. It fixes some bugs
-in the previous beta release:
-
-- Boolean, Date and Link HTML templating was broken
-- fix reporting of test inclusion in postgresql test
-- EditAction was confused about who "self" was
-- edit collision detection was broken for index-page edits
-- sqlite backend wasn't migrating multilink tables correctly
-- use SimpleCookie instead of Cookie (is an alias for the evil SmartCookie)
-- handle older sessions in session dbm
-- make presetunread more resilient to status Class changes
-- HTMLDatabase classes() was broken
+This is the announcement of version 1.4.18 of Roundup, a Bug-Fix Release
+for a critical bug in roundups mail gateway.
+The bug will lead to files being unlinked from issues when mails without
+attachment are received for an existing issue. See the "Software
+Upgrade" guidelines in doc/announcement.txt (or the html version) for a
+script you can run to find out potentially affected issues and how to
+fix this. As usual some minor features and some bug fixes:
-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.
+Features:
-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.
+- Norwegian Bokmal translation by Christian Aastorp
+- Allow to specify additional cc and bcc emails (not roundup users) for
+ nosymessage used by the nosyreaction reactor. (Ralf)
-Version 0.7 introduces far too many features to list here. I've put
-together a What's New page:
+Fixed:
- http://roundup.sourceforge.net/doc-0.7/whatsnew-0.7.html
+- Fix file-unlink bug in mailgw (Ralfs oversight when refactoring the mail
+ gateway code) -- if a message is sent that contains no attachments,
+ all previous files of the issue are unlinked, thanks to Rafal
+ Bisingier for reporting and proposing a fix.
+ I've now added a regression test that catches this issue.
-Some highlights:
-
-- added postgresql backend
-- RDBMS backends have no external locking requirements
-- new "actor" automatic property (user who caused the last "activity")
-- RDBMS backends have data typed columns and indexes on several columns
-- we support confirming registration by replying to the email
-- all HTML templating methods now automatically check for permissions,
- greatly simplifying templates
+If you're upgrading from an older version of Roundup you *must* follow
+the "Software Upgrade" guidelines given in the maintenance documentation.
