9 - gadfly backend now handles changes to the schema - but only one property
10 at a time
11 - cgi.client base URL is now obtained from the config TRACKER_WEB
12 - request.url has gone away - there's too much magic in trying to figure
13 what it should be
14 - cgi-bin script redirects to https now if the request was https
15 - FileClass "content" property wasn't being returned by getprops() in most
16 backends
17 - we now verify instance attributes on instance open and throw a useful error
18 if they're not all there
19 - sf 611217 ] menu() has problems when labelprop==None
20 - verify contents of tracker module when the tracker is opened
21 - many performance improvements in *dbm and sql backends
22 - mailgw was missing an "import sys"
23 - setup now installs scripts with python -O flag, doubling performance in some
24 cases (there's a lot of __debug__ use)
25 - fix :required for Link menus
26 - import wasn't setting the ID to maxid+1
27 - added getItem to HTMLClass so you can access arbitrary items in templates
28 - index filtering form values may now be key values too
29 - replaced the content() callback ickiness with Page Template macro usage

35 - #613291 ] typos in nosy list
36 - handle stupid mailers that QUOTE their Re; 'Re: "[issue1] bla blah"'
37 - giving a user a Role that doesn't exist doesn't break stuff any more
38 - revamped user guide, customisation guide, added maintenance guide
41 2002-09-13 0.5.0 beta2
42 - all backends now have a .close() method, and it's used everywhere
43 - fixed bug in detectors __init__
44 - switched the default issue item display to only show issue summary
45 (added instructions to doc to make it display entire content)
46 - MANIFEST.in was missing a lot of template files
47 - added generic item editing
48 - much nicer layout of template rendering errors
49 - added context/is_edit_ok and context/is_view_ok convenience methods and
50 implemented use of them in the classic template
53 2002-09-11 0.5.0 beta1
54 Fixed:
55 - #576086 ] dumb copying mistake (frontends/ZRoundup.py)
56 - installation instructions now mention "python2" in "testing your python".
57 - made the unit tests run again - they were quite b0rken
58 - #571170 ] gdbm deadlock
59 - #576241 ] MultiLink problems in parsePropsFromForm
60 - fixed the date module so that Date(". - 2d") works
61 - web forms may now unset Link values (like assignedto)
62 - cleanup: moved roundup.templatebuilder to roundup.templates.builder
63 - instance __init__ no longer silently traps dbinit import errors
65 Feature:
66 - new backend for metakit (thanks Gordon McMillan)
67 - new backend for gadfly (it's as done as it's going to get)
68 - further split the dbm backends from the core code, allowing easier
69 non-dict-like backends (eg metakit, RDB)
70 - implemented and used the new access control mechanisms (Permissions, Roles)
71 (see doc/security.txt)
72 - switched templating to use Zope's PageTemplates (yay!)
73 - switched to sessions for web authentication
74 - added Boolean and Number types
75 - fixed the journal bloat
76 - updated design document for new access controls
77 - updated customisation document, including more examples
78 - entire database export and import (incl files)
79 - better mailgw help message (feature request #558562)
80 - re-enabled link backrefs from messages (feature request #568714)
81 - the page layout is now templatable
82 - re-worked cgi interface to abstract out the explicit "issue" interface
83 - have index page handle mid-page errors better so header and footer are
84 still visible
85 - we handle "not found", access and item page render errors better
86 - fixed double-submit by having new-item-submit redirect at end
87 - daemonify roundup-server (fork, logfile, pidfile)
88 - modify cgitb to display PageTemplate errors better
89 - rename to "instance" to "tracker"
90 - have roundup.cgi pick up tracker config from the environment
91 - revamped look and feel in web interface
92 - cleaned up stylesheet usage
93 - several bug fixes and documentation fixes
94 - added is_retired test to hyperdb.Class
95 - added capability to save queries:
96 - a query Class with name, klass (to search) and url (query string)
97 properties
98 - a Multilink to query on user called queries
99 - html templates for query, and a list of queries in user.item
100 - search form has Save button & name input
101 - saved queries put in menu in pagehead
102 - for migration, none of the above is required and old behavior preserved.
103 - showquery translates search form <-> query string
104 - cleaned up the indexer code:
105 - it splits more words out
106 - removed code we'll never use (roundup.roundup_indexer has the full
107 implementation, and replaces roundup.indexer)
108 - only index text/plain and rfc822/message (ideas for other text formats to
109 index are welcome)
110 - added simple unit test for indexer. Needs more tests for regression.
111 - all String properties may now be indexed too. Currently there's a bit of
112 "issue" specific code in the actual searching which needs to be
113 addressed. In a nutshell:
114 + pass 'indexme="yes"' as a String() property initialisation arg, eg:
115 file = FileClass(db, "file", name=String(), type=String(),
116 comment=String(indexme="yes"))
117 + the comment will then be indexed and be searchable, with the results
118 related back to the issue that the file is linked to
119 - as a result of this work, the FileClass has a default MIME type that may
120 be overridden in a subclass, or by the use of a "type" property as is
121 done in the default templates.
122 - the regeneration of the indexes (if necessary) is done once the schema is
123 set up in the dbinit.
124 - new "reindex" command in roundup-admin used to force regeneration of the
125 index
126 - added email display function - mangles email addrs so they're not so easily
127 scraped from the web
128 - switched to using a session-based web login
129 - made mailgw handle set and modify operations on multilinks (bug #579094)
130 - fixed the journal bloat from multilink changes - we just log the add or
131 remove operations, not the whole list
134 2002-06-24 0.4.2
135 Fixed:
136 - Cleaned up the hyperdb unit tests.
137 - Applied patch from Andrew W. Nosenko to give nicer Unauthorised message
138 when anonymous user tries to edit. Should've been applied in 0.4.2pr1. Oops.
139 - Added more detailed note to MIGRATION regarding the detectors changes.
142 2002-06-19 0.4.2pr1
143 Feature:
144 - added a "detectors" directory for people to put their useful auditors and
145 reactors in. Note - the roundupdb.IssueClass.sendmessage method has been
146 split and renamed "nosymessage" specifically for things like the nosy
147 reactor, and "send_message" which just sends the message.
148 - link() htmltemplate function now has a "showid" option for links and
149 multilinks. When true, it only displays the linked node id as the anchor
150 text. The link value is displayed as a tooltip using the title anchor
151 attribute.
152 To use in eg. the superseder field, have something like this:
153 <td>
154 <display call="field('superseder', showid=1)">
155 <display call="classhelp('issue', 'id,title', label='list', width=500)">
156 <property name="superseder">
157 <br>View: <display call="link('superseder', showid=1)">
158 </property>
159 </td>
160 - stripping of the email message body can now be controlled through the
161 config variables EMAIL_KEEP_QUOTED_TEXT and EMAIL_LEAVE_BODY_UNCHANGED.
162 - all database files created are now group readable and writable.
163 - added option to automatically add the authors and recipients of messages
164 to the nosy lists with the options ADD_AUTHOR_TO_NOSY (default 'new') and
165 ADD_RECIPIENTS_TO_NOSY (default 'new'). These settings emulate the current
166 behaviour. Setting them to 'yes' will add the author/recipients to the nosy
167 on messages that create issues and followup messages.
168 - reverting to dates for intervals > 2 months sucks
169 - changed the default message list in issues to display the message body
170 - applied patch #558876 ] cgi client customization
171 - split instance initialisation into two steps, allowing config changes
172 before the database is initialised.
173 - don't create an empty message on email issue creation if the email is empty
174 - may now display additional fields in Multilink form menus
175 - #541941 ] changing multilink properties by mail
176 - #526730 ] search for messages capability
177 - #505180 ] split MailGW.handle_Message
178 - also changed cgi client since it was duplicating the functionality
180 Fixed:
181 - stop sending blank (whitespace-only) notes
182 - cleanup of serialisation for database storage
183 - node ids are now generated from a lockable store - no more race conditions
184 - sorting was applied to all nodes of the MultiLink class instead of
185 to the nodes that are actually linked to in the "field" template
186 function. This adds about 20+ seconds in the display of an issue if
187 your database has a 1000 or more issues in it.
188 - added missing documentation for a few of the config option values
189 - file upload broke if you didn't supply a change note
190 - fixed SCRIPT_NAME in ZRoundup for instances not at top level of Zope
191 (thanks dman)
192 - fixed some sorting issues that were breaking some unit tests under py2.2
193 - mailgw test output dir was confusing the init test (but only on 2.2 *shrug*)
194 - node caching now works, and gives a small boost in performance
195 - #449374 ] re-enable bsddb3 backend
196 bsddb3 backend now works, reinstating
197 - #551483 ] assignedto in Client.make_index_link
198 - made backends.__init__ be more specific about which ImportErrors it really
199 wants to ignore
200 - fixed the example addresses in the templates to use correct example domains
201 - cleaned out the template stylesheets, removing a bunch of junk that really
202 wasn't necessary (font specs, styles never used) and added a style for
203 message content
204 - build htmlbase if tests are run using CVS checkout
205 - #565979 ] code error in hyperdb.Class.find
206 - #565996 ] The "Attach a File to this Issue" fails
207 - #564271 ] find() and new properties
208 - #562130 ] cookie path generated from ZRoundup was wrong in some situations
209 - remove CR characters embedded in messages (ZRoundup)
210 - properly quote the email address and "real name" in all situations using the
211 'email' module if it is available and 'rfc822' otherwise
212 - #565992 ] if ISSUE_TRACKER_WEB doesn't have the trailing '/', add it
213 - use the rfc822 module to ensure that every (oddball) email address and
214 real-name is properly quoted
215 - #558867 ] ZRoundup redirect /instance requests to /instance/
216 - #569415 ] {version}
217 - #569178 ] type error
218 was fixed as part of the general cleanup of reactors
221 2002-03-25 - 0.4.1
222 Feature:
223 - use blobfiles in back_anydbm which is used in back_bsddb.
224 change test_db as dirlist does not work for subdirectories.
225 ATTENTION: blobfiles now creates subdirectories for files.
226 - add module blobfiles in backends with file access functions.
227 - roundup db catch only IOError in getfile.
228 - roundup db catches retrieving not existing files.
229 - #503204 ] mailgw needs a default class
230 - partially done - the setting of additional properties can wait for a
231 better configuration system.
232 - Alternate email addresses are now available for users. See the MIGRATION
233 file for info on how to activate the feature.
234 - #511168 ] Web interface: Adding new products
235 Classes that don't provide template html get a default edit interface now:
236 - access using the admin "class list" interface
237 - limited to admin-only
238 - requires the csv module from object-craft (url given if it's missing)
239 - Added popup help for classes using the classhelp html template function.
240 - add <display call="classhelp('priority', 'id,name,description')">
241 to an item page, and it generates a link to a popup window which displays
242 the id, name and description for the priority class. The description
243 field won't exist in most installations, but it will be added to the
244 default templates.
245 - #517734 ] web header customisation is obscure
246 - All messages sent to the nosy list are now encoded as
247 quoted-printable before they are sent.
248 - Fixed display of mutlilink properties when using the template
249 functions, menu and plain.
251 Fixed:
252 - Clean up mail handling, multipart handling.
253 - respect encodings in non multipart messages.
254 - makeHtmlBase: re.sub under python 2.2 did not replace '.', string.replace
255 does it.
256 - preamble in tepmlateBuilder mentioned htmldata
257 - mailgw checks encoding on first part too.
258 - #511586 ] unittest FAIL: testReldate_date
259 - Added a uniquely Roundup header to email, "X-Roundup-Name"
260 - All forms now have "double-submit" protection when Javascript is enabled
261 on the client-side.
262 - #516883 ] mail interface + ANONYMOUS_REGISTER
263 - #516854 ] "My Issues" and redisplay
264 - #517906 ] Attribute order in "View customisation"
265 - #514854 ] History: "User" is always ticket creator
266 - wasn't handling cvs parser feeding correctly
267 - fixed some problems in date calculations (calendar.py doesn't handle over-
268 and under-flow). Also, hour/minute/second intervals may now be more than
269 99 each.
270 - #527416 ] roundup-admin uses undefined value
271 - #527503 ] unfriendly init blowup when parent dir
272 (also handles UsageError correctly now in init)
273 - #524129 ] roundup-admin gets python path wrong
276 2002-01-24 - 0.4.0
277 Feature:
278 - much nicer history display (actualy real handling of property types etc)
279 - journal entries for link and mutlilink properties can be switched on or
280 off
281 - properties in change note are now sorted
282 - you can now use the roundup-admin tool pack the database
284 Fixed:
285 - the mail gateway now responds with an error message when invalid values
286 for arguments are specified for link or mutlilink properties
287 - modified unit test to check nosy and assignedto when specified as arguments
288 - handle attachments with no name (eg tnef)
289 - fixed setting nosy as argument in subject line
290 - fixed back_bsddb so it passed the journal tests
291 - fixed status changes in mail gateway (eg. unread -> chatting)
292 - we'll actually distribute the frontends directory now, as advertised...
293 - handle stripping of "AW:" from subject line
294 - htmltemplate list() wasn't sorting...
295 - unit tests for html templating (and re-enabled the listbox field for
296 multilinks)
297 - allow abbreviation of "help" in admin tool too.
298 - run_tests testReldate_date failed if LANG is 'german'
299 - mailgw failures (unexpected ones) are forwarded to the roundup admin
302 2002-01-16 - 0.4.0b2
303 Fixed:
304 - #495392 ] empty nosy -patch
305 - #500574 ] messageid must have format <part1@part2>
306 - fixed some problems with web editing and change detection
307 - mail splitting wasn't detecting responses in the same "section" as quoted
308 text
309 - missed a "from i18n import _" in date.py
310 - #501690 ] MIGRATION.txt incomplete
311 - #502342 ] pipe interface
312 - #502437 ] rogue reactor and unittest
313 - re-enabled dumbdbm when using python >2.1.1 (ie 2.1.2, 2.2)
314 - changed all config accesses so they access either the instance or the
315 config attriubute on the db. This means that all config is obtained from
316 instance_config instead of the mish-mash of classes. This will make
317 switching to a ConfigParser setup easier too, I hope.
318 - #502951 ] adding new properties to old database
319 - #502953 ] nosy-like treatment of other multilinks
320 - #503164 ] create and passwords
321 - plain rendering of links in the htmltemplate now generate a hyperlink to
322 the linked node's page.
323 - #503330 ] ANONYMOUS_REGISTER now applies to mail
324 - #503353 ] setting properties in initial email
325 - #502956 ] filtering by multilink not supported
326 - #503340 ] creating issue with [asignedto=p.ohly]
327 - #502949 ] index view for non-issues and redisplay
328 - #503793 ] changing assignedto resets nosy list
329 - lots of date/interval related changes:
330 - more relaxed date format for input
331 - handle None for date/interval properties
334 2002-01-08 - 0.4.0b1
335 Feature:
336 - Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
337 the instance.
338 - Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
339 signature info in e-mails.
340 - Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
341 - Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
342 - Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
343 - We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
344 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
345 bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
346 lot more work anyway...
347 - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
348 single transaction
349 - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
350 if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
351 during the session (up to the last commit).
352 - Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
353 - Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
354 (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
355 - Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
356 - Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
357 needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
358 - much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
359 - #496356 ] Use threading in messages
360 This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
361 using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
362 feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
364 Fixed:
365 - Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
366 - login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
367 - Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
368 gateway.
369 - Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
370 on a failure)
371 - We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
372 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
373 - #487480 ] roundup-server
374 - #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
375 - #489760 ] [issue] only subject
376 - fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
377 - fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
378 - web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
379 - we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
380 this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
381 cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
382 - envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
383 delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
384 - #495400 ] entering blanks
385 Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
386 for details.
387 - #496360 ] table width does not work
388 - detectors were being registered multiple times
389 - added tests for mailgw
392 2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
393 Feature:
394 - #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
395 - #473123 ] Change message generation for author
396 - MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
397 - Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
398 - Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
399 - "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
400 - roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
401 - roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
402 - roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
403 - users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
404 - incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
405 e-mail
406 - added a target version field to the extended issue schema
407 - added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
408 translatable messages
410 Fixed:
411 - Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
412 - 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
413 - Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
414 - roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
415 - Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
416 - Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
417 - bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
418 - bug #474749 ] indentations lost
419 - bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
420 - bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
421 - bug #477687 ] conforming html
422 - bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
423 - bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
424 - bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
425 - bug #477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
426 - newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
427 - bug #479511 ] mailgw to pop
428 - bug #479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
429 - bad error report in hyperdb
430 - roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
431 of processing
432 - roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
433 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
434 an error message to the roundup admin.
435 - fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
436 - errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
437 squashed)
438 - re-open the database as the author in mail handling
439 - missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
442 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
443 Feature:
444 - MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
445 - feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
446 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
447 information is displayed.
448 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
449 - Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
450 - Tabular display of nodes.
451 - Import and export via colon-separated files.
453 Changed:
454 - re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
455 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
457 Fixed:
458 - Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
459 - CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
460 - Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
461 - Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
462 - Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
463 - Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
464 - Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
465 - bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
466 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
467 - bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
468 as numbers now.
469 - bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
470 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
471 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
472 - bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
473 - bug #473126: Sender unknown
474 - bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
477 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
478 Fixed:
479 - Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
480 property values. This broke a lot of things.
483 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
484 Feature:
485 - roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
486 on the command-line.
487 - hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
488 properties.
489 - CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
491 Changed:
492 - Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
493 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
494 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
495 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
496 - The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
497 - The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
498 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
499 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
500 - Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
501 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
502 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
503 number of encoding systems.
504 - The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
505 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
506 documentation for details.)
508 Fixed:
509 - Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
510 Ping - has been removed.
511 - Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
512 - Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
513 - AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
514 - Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
515 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
516 - Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
517 an item now throws an exception.
518 - The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
519 - Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
523 --------------
525 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
526 Fixed:
527 - Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
528 - Missing import in mailgw.
531 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
532 Feature:
533 - Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
534 regular expressions now.
536 Fixed:
537 - Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
538 - Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
539 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
540 - Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
541 - Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
542 that the change note message is actually genrated.
543 - CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
544 - Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
545 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
546 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
547 - Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
548 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
549 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
552 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
553 Note:
554 - Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
556 Feature:
557 - Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
558 with bugs in roundup.init!
559 - Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
560 the tests.
561 - Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
563 Fixed:
564 - Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
565 signatures now too.
566 - Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
567 - Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
568 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
569 - Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
570 - Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
571 module name for the instances on import time.
574 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
575 Note:
576 - The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
577 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
579 Fixed:
580 - Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
581 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
584 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
585 Features:
586 - Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
587 should be linked somewhere.
588 - Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
589 - Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
590 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
591 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
592 cleanup the header up.
593 - Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
594 - Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
595 are displayed.
596 - Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
597 rebuild.
598 - Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
599 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
600 - Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
601 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
602 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
603 instructions, etc).
605 Fixed:
606 - Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
607 - Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
608 - Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
609 - Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
610 - 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
611 - mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
612 was creating nodes for.
613 - remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
614 - Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
615 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
616 names.
619 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
620 Big change:
621 - I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
622 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
623 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
624 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
625 code in "extended" either way.
627 Features:
628 - Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
629 we do anything distutils'y.
630 - Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
631 - Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
632 help and better command-line arg handling.
633 - The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
634 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
635 - Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
637 Fixed:
638 - One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
639 - Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
640 hard-coded to "issue".
641 - templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
642 - The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
643 properly.
644 - The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
645 nodeid) properly.
648 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
649 Features:
650 - Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
651 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
652 - Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
653 tests for multipart splitting.
654 - Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
655 - Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
656 - Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
657 - Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
658 - Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
659 behaviour.
660 - Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
661 - Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
662 it).
664 Fixed:
665 - Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
666 - New issue form handles lack of note better now.
667 - HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
668 - Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
669 - Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
670 query elements.
671 - Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
672 changed now.
675 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
676 Features:
677 - Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
678 - Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
679 directory as "overview.html".
681 Fixes:
682 - Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
683 "html" directory in instance home.
684 - Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
685 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
686 There you go...
687 - Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
688 strict about such things.
690 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
691 Features:
692 - Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
693 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
694 back-ends.
695 - Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
696 out-of-the-box
697 - Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
698 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
699 - Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
700 - Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
701 out-of-the-box.
702 - Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
703 - Added some unit tests.
705 Fixes:
706 - Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
707 - Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
708 - Fixed adding new issue with no change note
709 - Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
710 quoted.
711 - Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
712 message.
714 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
715 - Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
716 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
717 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
718 - Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
719 - Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
720 - Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
721 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
722 - Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
723 - Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
724 - Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
725 columns to sort by to 2.
726 - Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
727 ^text - search for text at start of fields
728 text$ - search for text at end of fields
729 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
730 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
731 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
732 - Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
735 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
736 - Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
737 the priority column isn't displayed.
738 - Thanks Anthony:
739 - added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
740 - added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
741 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
742 - python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
743 - better handling of db directory in initDB
744 - Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
745 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
746 properties, etc.
747 - Set the default index to sort on activity
750 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
751 - Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
752 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
754 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
755 - Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
756 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
757 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
758 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
