1 This file contains the changes to the Roundup system over time. The entries
2 are given with the most recent entry first.
4 2002-02-?? - 0.4.1
5 Feature:
6 . #503204 ] mailgw needs a default class
7 - partially done - the setting of additional properties can wait for a
8 better configuration system.
9 . Alternate email addresses are now available for users. See the MIGRATION
10 file for info on how to activate the feature.
13 Fixed:
14 . Clean up mail handling, multipart handling.
15 . respect encodings in non multipart messages.
16 . makeHtmlBase: re.sub under python 2.2 did not replace '.', string.replace
17 does it.
18 . preamble in tepmlateBuilder mentioned htmldata
19 . mailgw checks encoding on first part too.
20 . #511586 ] unittest FAIL: testReldate_date
21 . Added a uniquely Roundup header to email, "X-Roundup-Name"
22 . All forms now have "double-submit" protection when Javascript is enabled
23 on the client-side.
24 . #516883 ] mail interface + ANONYMOUS_REGISTER
27 2002-01-24 - 0.4.0
28 Feature:
29 . much nicer history display (actualy real handling of property types etc)
30 . journal entries for link and mutlilink properties can be switched on or
31 off
32 . properties in change note are now sorted
33 . you can now use the roundup-admin tool pack the database
35 Fixed:
36 . the mail gateway now responds with an error message when invalid values
37 for arguments are specified for link or mutlilink properties
38 . modified unit test to check nosy and assignedto when specified as arguments
39 . handle attachments with no name (eg tnef)
40 . fixed setting nosy as argument in subject line
41 . fixed back_bsddb so it passed the journal tests
42 . fixed status changes in mail gateway (eg. unread -> chatting)
43 . we'll actually distribute the frontends directory now, as advertised...
44 . handle stripping of "AW:" from subject line
45 . htmltemplate list() wasn't sorting...
46 . unit tests for html templating (and re-enabled the listbox field for
47 multilinks)
48 . allow abbreviation of "help" in admin tool too.
49 . run_tests testReldate_date failed if LANG is 'german'
50 . mailgw failures (unexpected ones) are forwarded to the roundup admin
53 2002-01-16 - 0.4.0b2
54 Fixed:
55 . #495392 ] empty nosy -patch
56 . #500574 ] messageid must have format <part1@part2>
57 . fixed some problems with web editing and change detection
58 . mail splitting wasn't detecting responses in the same "section" as quoted
59 text
60 . missed a "from i18n import _" in date.py
61 . #501690 ] MIGRATION.txt incomplete
62 . #502342 ] pipe interface
63 . #502437 ] rogue reactor and unittest
64 . re-enabled dumbdbm when using python >2.1.1 (ie 2.1.2, 2.2)
65 . changed all config accesses so they access either the instance or the
66 config attriubute on the db. This means that all config is obtained from
67 instance_config instead of the mish-mash of classes. This will make
68 switching to a ConfigParser setup easier too, I hope.
69 . #502951 ] adding new properties to old database
70 . #502953 ] nosy-like treatment of other multilinks
71 . #503164 ] create and passwords
72 . plain rendering of links in the htmltemplate now generate a hyperlink to
73 the linked node's page.
74 . #503330 ] ANONYMOUS_REGISTER now applies to mail
75 . #503353 ] setting properties in initial email
76 . #502956 ] filtering by multilink not supported
77 . #503340 ] creating issue with [asignedto=p.ohly]
78 . #502949 ] index view for non-issues and redisplay
79 . #503793 ] changing assignedto resets nosy list
80 . lots of date/interval related changes:
81 - more relaxed date format for input
82 - handle None for date/interval properties
85 2002-01-08 - 0.4.0b1
86 Feature:
87 . Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
88 the instance.
89 . Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
90 signature info in e-mails.
91 . Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
92 . Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
93 . Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
94 . We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
95 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
96 bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
97 lot more work anyway...
98 - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
99 single transaction
100 - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
101 if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
102 during the session (up to the last commit).
103 . Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
104 . Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
105 (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
106 . Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
107 . Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
108 needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
109 . much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
110 . #496356 ] Use threading in messages
111 This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
112 using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
113 feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
115 Fixed:
116 . Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
117 . login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
118 . Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
119 gateway.
120 . Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
121 on a failure)
122 . We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
123 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
124 . #487480 ] roundup-server
125 . #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
126 . #489760 ] [issue] only subject
127 . fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
128 . fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
129 . web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
130 . we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
131 this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
132 cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
133 . envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
134 delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
135 . #495400 ] entering blanks
136 Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
137 for details.
138 . #496360 ] table width does not work
139 . detectors were being registered multiple times
140 . added tests for mailgw
143 2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
144 Feature:
145 . #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
146 . #473123 ] Change message generation for author
147 . MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
148 . Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
149 . Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
150 . "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
151 . roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
152 . roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
153 . roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
154 . users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
155 . incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
156 e-mail
157 . added a target version field to the extended issue schema
158 . added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
159 translatable messages
161 Fixed:
162 . Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
163 . 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
164 . Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
165 . roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
166 . Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
167 . Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
168 . bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
169 . bug #474749 ] indentations lost
170 . bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
171 . bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
172 . bug #477687 ] conforming html
173 . bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
174 . bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
175 . bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
176 . bug #477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
177 . newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
178 . bug #479511 ] mailgw to pop
179 . bug #479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
180 . bad error report in hyperdb
181 . roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
182 of processing
183 . roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
184 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
185 an error message to the roundup admin.
186 . fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
187 . errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
188 squashed)
189 . re-open the database as the author in mail handling
190 . missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
193 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
194 Feature:
195 . MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
196 . feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
197 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
198 information is displayed.
199 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
200 . Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
201 . Tabular display of nodes.
202 . Import and export via colon-separated files.
204 Changed:
205 . re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
206 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
208 Fixed:
209 . Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
210 . CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
211 . Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
212 . Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
213 . Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
214 . Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
215 . Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
216 . bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
217 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
218 . bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
219 as numbers now.
220 . bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
221 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
222 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
223 . bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
224 . bug #473126: Sender unknown
225 . bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
228 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
229 Fixed:
230 . Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
231 property values. This broke a lot of things.
234 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
235 Feature:
236 . roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
237 on the command-line.
238 . hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
239 properties.
240 . CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
242 Changed:
243 . Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
244 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
245 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
246 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
247 . The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
248 . The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
249 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
250 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
251 . Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
252 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
253 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
254 number of encoding systems.
255 . The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
256 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
257 documentation for details.)
259 Fixed:
260 . Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
261 Ping - has been removed.
262 . Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
263 . Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
264 . AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
265 . Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
266 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
267 . Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
268 an item now throws an exception.
269 . The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
270 . Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
274 --------------
276 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
277 Fixed:
278 . Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
279 . Missing import in mailgw.
282 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
283 Feature:
284 . Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
285 regular expressions now.
287 Fixed:
288 . Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
289 . Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
290 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
291 . Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
292 . Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
293 that the change note message is actually genrated.
294 . CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
295 . Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
296 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
297 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
298 . Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
299 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
300 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
303 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
304 Note:
305 . Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
307 Feature:
308 . Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
309 with bugs in roundup.init!
310 . Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
311 the tests.
312 . Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
314 Fixed:
315 . Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
316 signatures now too.
317 . Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
318 . Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
319 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
320 . Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
321 . Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
322 module name for the instances on import time.
325 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
326 Note:
327 . The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
328 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
330 Fixed:
331 . Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
332 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
335 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
336 Features:
337 . Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
338 should be linked somewhere.
339 . Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
340 . Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
341 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
342 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
343 cleanup the header up.
344 . Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
345 . Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
346 are displayed.
347 . Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
348 rebuild.
349 . Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
350 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
351 . Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
352 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
353 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
354 instructions, etc).
356 Fixed:
357 . Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
358 . Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
359 . Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
360 . Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
361 . 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
362 . mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
363 was creating nodes for.
364 . remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
365 . Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
366 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
367 names.
370 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
371 Big change:
372 . I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
373 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
374 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
375 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
376 code in "extended" either way.
378 Features:
379 . Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
380 we do anything distutils'y.
381 . Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
382 . Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
383 help and better command-line arg handling.
384 . The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
385 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
386 . Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
388 Fixed:
389 . One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
390 . Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
391 hard-coded to "issue".
392 . templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
393 . The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
394 properly.
395 . The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
396 nodeid) properly.
399 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
400 Features:
401 . Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
402 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
403 . Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
404 tests for multipart splitting.
405 . Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
406 . Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
407 . Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
408 . Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
409 . Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
410 behaviour.
411 . Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
412 . Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
413 it).
415 Fixed:
416 . Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
417 . New issue form handles lack of note better now.
418 . HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
419 . Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
420 . Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
421 query elements.
422 . Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
423 changed now.
426 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
427 Features:
428 . Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
429 . Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
430 directory as "overview.html".
432 Fixes:
433 . Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
434 "html" directory in instance home.
435 . Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
436 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
437 There you go...
438 . Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
439 strict about such things.
441 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
442 Features:
443 . Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
444 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
445 back-ends.
446 . Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
447 out-of-the-box
448 . Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
449 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
450 . Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
451 . Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
452 out-of-the-box.
453 . Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
454 . Added some unit tests.
456 Fixes:
457 . Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
458 . Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
459 . Fixed adding new issue with no change note
460 . Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
461 quoted.
462 . Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
463 message.
465 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
466 . Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
467 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
468 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
469 . Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
470 . Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
471 . Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
472 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
473 . Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
474 . Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
475 . Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
476 columns to sort by to 2.
477 . Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
478 ^text - search for text at start of fields
479 text$ - search for text at end of fields
480 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
481 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
482 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
483 . Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
486 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
487 . Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
488 the priority column isn't displayed.
489 . Thanks Anthony:
490 . added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
491 . added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
492 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
493 . python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
494 . better handling of db directory in initDB
495 . Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
496 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
497 properties, etc.
498 . Set the default index to sort on activity
501 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
502 . Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
503 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
505 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
506 . Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
507 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
508 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
509 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
