-=====================================================
-SC-Track Roundup 0.5 beta1 - an issue tracking system
-=====================================================
-
-Note: This is the first of two beta releases of the newest version of Roundup.
-It is strongly recommended that you maintain your existing 0.4 installation if
-you have one, and run 0.5 on a copy of the database. If you are upgrading from
-0.4, you must read doc/upgrading.txt!
-
-Roundup requires python 2.1.1 for correct operation. Support for dumbdbm
-requires python 2.1.2 or 2.2. 2.1.3 and 2.2.1 are recommended.
-
-A lot has been done since 0.4:
-
-- new backend for metakit (thanks Gordon McMillan)
-- new backend for gadfly (it's as done as it's going to get)
-- further split the dbm backends from the core code, allowing easier
- non-dict-like backends (eg metakit, RDB)
-- implemented and used the new access control mechanisms (Permissions, Roles)
-- switched templating to use Zope's PageTemplates (yay!)
-- switched to sessions for web authentication
-- added Boolean and Number types
-- full-text search may also search certain String properties
-- fixed the journal bloat
-- updated design document for new access controls
-- updated customisation document, including more examples
-- entire database export and import (incl files)
-- better mailgw help message (feature request #558562)
-- re-enabled link backrefs from messages (feature request #568714)
-- the page layout is now templatable
-- re-worked cgi interface to abstract out the explicit "issue" interface
-- have index page handle mid-page errors better so header and footer are
- still visible
-- saving of named search queries
-- we handle "not found", access and item page render errors better
-- fixed double-submit by having new-item-submit redirect at end
-- daemonify roundup-server (fork, logfile, pidfile)
-- modify cgitb to display PageTemplate errors better
-- rename to "instance" to "tracker"
-- have roundup.cgi pick up tracker config from the environment
-- revamped look and feel in web interface
-- cleaned up stylesheet usage
-- several bug fixes and documentation fixes
+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:
+
+- 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:
+
+- 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.
+
+If you're upgrading from an older version of Roundup you *must* follow
+the "Software Upgrade" guidelines given in the maintenance documentation.
+
+Roundup requires python 2.4 or later (but not 3+) for correct operation.
