-=================================================
-SC-Track Roundup 0.5.4 - an issue tracking system
-=================================================
-
-This is a bugfix release for version 0.5.x - if you're upgrading from before
-0.5, you *must* read doc/upgrading.txt!
-
-Unfortunately, the Zope frontend for Roundup is currently broken, with no
-fix in the forseeable future.
-
-Roundup requires python 2.1.3 or later for correct operation. Users of the
-sqlite backend are encouraged to upgrade sqlite to version 2.7.3.
-
-We've had a good crack at bugs (thanks to all who contributed!):
-
-- key the templates cache off full path, not filename
-- implemented whole-database locking
-- hyperlinking of special text (url, email, item designator) in messages
-- fixed time default in date.py
-- fixed error in cgi/templates.py (sf bug 652089)
-- fixed handling of missing password (sf bug 655632)
-- applied patches for handling Outlook quirks (thanks Andrey Lebedev)
- (multipart/alternative, "fw" and content-type "name")
-- fire auditors and reactors in rdbms retire (thanks Sheila King)
-- better match for mailgw help "command" text
-- handle :add: better in cgi form parsing (sf bug 663235)
-- handle all-whitespace multilink values in forms (sf bug 663855)
-- fixed searching on date / interval fields (sf bug 658157)
-- fixed form elements names in search form to allow grouping and sorting
- on "creation" field
-- display of saved queries is now performed correctly
+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.
