-I'm proud to release version 1.4.16 of Roundup which introduces some
-minor features and, as usual, fixes some bugs:
+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:
 
 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.
+- 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)
 
 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
+- 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.
