1 This file contains the changes to the Roundup system over time. The entries
2 are given with the most recent entry first.
4 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
5 Feature:
6 . Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
7 regular expressions now.
9 Fixed:
10 . Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
11 . Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
12 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
13 . Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
14 . Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
15 that the change note message is actually genrated.
16 . CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
17 . Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
18 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
19 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
20 . Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
21 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
22 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
25 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
26 Note:
27 . Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
29 Feature:
30 . Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
31 with bugs in roundup.init!
32 . Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
33 the tests.
34 . Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
36 Fixed:
37 . Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
38 signatures now too.
39 . Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
40 . Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
41 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
42 . Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
43 . Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
44 module name for the instances on import time.
47 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
48 Note:
49 . The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
50 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
52 Fixed:
53 . Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
54 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
57 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
58 Features:
59 . Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
60 should be linked somewhere.
61 . Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
62 . Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
63 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
64 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
65 cleanup the header up.
66 . Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
67 . Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
68 are displayed.
69 . Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
70 rebuild.
71 . Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
72 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
73 . Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
74 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
75 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
76 instructions, etc).
78 Fixed:
79 . Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
80 . Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
81 . Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
82 . Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
83 . 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
84 . mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
85 was creating nodes for.
86 . remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
87 . Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
88 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
89 names.
92 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
93 Big change:
94 . I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
95 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
96 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
97 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
98 code in "extended" either way.
100 Features:
101 . Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
102 we do anything distutils'y.
103 . Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
104 . Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
105 help and better command-line arg handling.
106 . The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
107 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
108 . Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
110 Fixed:
111 . One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
112 . Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
113 hard-coded to "issue".
114 . templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
115 . The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
116 properly.
117 . The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
118 nodeid) properly.
121 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
122 Features:
123 . Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
124 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
125 . Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
126 tests for multipart splitting.
127 . Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
128 . Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
129 . Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
130 . Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
131 . Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
132 behaviour.
133 . Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
134 . Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
135 it).
137 Fixed:
138 . Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
139 . New issue form handles lack of note better now.
140 . HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
141 . Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
142 . Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
143 query elements.
144 . Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
145 changed now.
148 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
149 Features:
150 . Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
151 . Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
152 directory as "overview.html".
154 Fixes:
155 . Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
156 "html" directory in instance home.
157 . Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
158 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
159 There you go...
160 . Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
161 strict about such things.
163 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
164 Features:
165 . Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
166 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
167 back-ends.
168 . Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
169 out-of-the-box
170 . Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
171 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
172 . Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
173 . Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
174 out-of-the-box.
175 . Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
176 . Added some unit tests.
178 Fixes:
179 . Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
180 . Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
181 . Fixed adding new issue with no change note
182 . Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
183 quoted.
184 . Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
185 message.
187 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
188 . Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
189 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
190 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
191 . Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
192 . Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
193 . Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
194 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
195 . Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
196 . Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
197 . Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
198 columns to sort by to 2.
199 . Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
200 ^text - search for text at start of fields
201 text$ - search for text at end of fields
202 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
203 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
204 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
205 . Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
208 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
209 . Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
210 the priority column isn't displayed.
211 . Thanks Anthony:
212 . added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
213 . added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
214 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
215 . python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
216 . better handling of db directory in initDB
217 . Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
218 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
219 properties, etc.
220 . Set the default index to sort on activity
223 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
224 . Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
225 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
227 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
228 . Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
229 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
230 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
231 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
