1 This file contains the changes to the Roundup system over time. The entries
2 are given with the most recent entry first.
4 2001-??-?? - 0.2.9
5 Feature:
6 . roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
7 on the command-line.
8 . hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
9 properties.
10 . CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
12 Changed:
13 . Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
14 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
15 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
16 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
17 . The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
18 . The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
19 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
20 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
22 Fixed:
23 . Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
24 Ping - has been removed.
25 . Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
26 . Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
27 . AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
28 . Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
29 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
30 . Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
31 an item now throws an exception.
32 . The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
34 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
35 Fixed:
36 . Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
37 . Missing import in mailgw.
40 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
41 Feature:
42 . Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
43 regular expressions now.
45 Fixed:
46 . Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
47 . Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
48 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
49 . Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
50 . Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
51 that the change note message is actually genrated.
52 . CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
53 . Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
54 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
55 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
56 . Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
57 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
58 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
61 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
62 Note:
63 . Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
65 Feature:
66 . Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
67 with bugs in roundup.init!
68 . Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
69 the tests.
70 . Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
72 Fixed:
73 . Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
74 signatures now too.
75 . Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
76 . Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
77 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
78 . Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
79 . Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
80 module name for the instances on import time.
83 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
84 Note:
85 . The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
86 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
88 Fixed:
89 . Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
90 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
93 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
94 Features:
95 . Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
96 should be linked somewhere.
97 . Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
98 . Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
99 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
100 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
101 cleanup the header up.
102 . Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
103 . Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
104 are displayed.
105 . Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
106 rebuild.
107 . Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
108 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
109 . Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
110 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
111 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
112 instructions, etc).
114 Fixed:
115 . Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
116 . Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
117 . Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
118 . Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
119 . 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
120 . mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
121 was creating nodes for.
122 . remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
123 . Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
124 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
125 names.
128 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
129 Big change:
130 . I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
131 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
132 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
133 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
134 code in "extended" either way.
136 Features:
137 . Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
138 we do anything distutils'y.
139 . Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
140 . Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
141 help and better command-line arg handling.
142 . The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
143 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
144 . Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
146 Fixed:
147 . One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
148 . Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
149 hard-coded to "issue".
150 . templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
151 . The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
152 properly.
153 . The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
154 nodeid) properly.
157 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
158 Features:
159 . Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
160 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
161 . Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
162 tests for multipart splitting.
163 . Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
164 . Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
165 . Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
166 . Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
167 . Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
168 behaviour.
169 . Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
170 . Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
171 it).
173 Fixed:
174 . Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
175 . New issue form handles lack of note better now.
176 . HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
177 . Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
178 . Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
179 query elements.
180 . Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
181 changed now.
184 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
185 Features:
186 . Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
187 . Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
188 directory as "overview.html".
190 Fixes:
191 . Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
192 "html" directory in instance home.
193 . Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
194 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
195 There you go...
196 . Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
197 strict about such things.
199 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
200 Features:
201 . Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
202 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
203 back-ends.
204 . Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
205 out-of-the-box
206 . Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
207 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
208 . Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
209 . Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
210 out-of-the-box.
211 . Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
212 . Added some unit tests.
214 Fixes:
215 . Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
216 . Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
217 . Fixed adding new issue with no change note
218 . Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
219 quoted.
220 . Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
221 message.
223 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
224 . Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
225 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
226 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
227 . Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
228 . Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
229 . Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
230 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
231 . Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
232 . Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
233 . Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
234 columns to sort by to 2.
235 . Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
236 ^text - search for text at start of fields
237 text$ - search for text at end of fields
238 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
239 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
240 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
241 . Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
244 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
245 . Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
246 the priority column isn't displayed.
247 . Thanks Anthony:
248 . added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
249 . added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
250 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
251 . python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
252 . better handling of db directory in initDB
253 . Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
254 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
255 properties, etc.
256 . Set the default index to sort on activity
259 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
260 . Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
261 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
263 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
264 . Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
265 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
266 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
267 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
