65 - gadfly backend now handles changes to the schema - but only one property

68 - request.url has gone away - there's too much magic in trying to figure

70 - cgi-bin script redirects to https now if the request was https
71 - FileClass "content" property wasn't being returned by getprops() in most
72 backends
73 - we now verify instance attributes on instance open and throw a useful error
74 if they're not all there
75 - sf 611217 ] menu() has problems when labelprop==None
76 - verify contents of tracker module when the tracker is opened
77 - many performance improvements in *dbm and sql backends

97 alternate)
98 - merge Zope Collector #573 fix from ZPT CVS trunk
99 - merge Zope Collector #580 fix from ZPT CVS trunk

120 2002-09-11 0.5.0 beta1
121 Fixed:
122 - #576086 ] dumb copying mistake (frontends/ZRoundup.py)
123 - installation instructions now mention "python2" in "testing your python".
124 - made the unit tests run again - they were quite b0rken

127 - fixed the date module so that Date(". - 2d") works
128 - web forms may now unset Link values (like assignedto)
129 - cleanup: moved roundup.templatebuilder to roundup.templates.builder
130 - instance __init__ no longer silently traps dbinit import errors
132 Feature:
133 - new backend for metakit (thanks Gordon McMillan)
134 - new backend for gadfly (it's as done as it's going to get)
135 - further split the dbm backends from the core code, allowing easier
136 non-dict-like backends (eg metakit, RDB)
137 - implemented and used the new access control mechanisms (Permissions, Roles)
138 (see doc/security.txt)
139 - switched templating to use Zope's PageTemplates (yay!)
140 - switched to sessions for web authentication
141 - added Boolean and Number types
142 - fixed the journal bloat
143 - updated design document for new access controls
144 - updated customisation document, including more examples
145 - entire database export and import (incl files)
146 - better mailgw help message (feature request #558562)
147 - re-enabled link backrefs from messages (feature request #568714)
148 - the page layout is now templatable
149 - re-worked cgi interface to abstract out the explicit "issue" interface
150 - have index page handle mid-page errors better so header and footer are
151 still visible
152 - we handle "not found", access and item page render errors better
153 - fixed double-submit by having new-item-submit redirect at end
154 - daemonify roundup-server (fork, logfile, pidfile)
155 - modify cgitb to display PageTemplate errors better
156 - rename to "instance" to "tracker"
157 - have roundup.cgi pick up tracker config from the environment
158 - revamped look and feel in web interface
159 - cleaned up stylesheet usage
160 - several bug fixes and documentation fixes
161 - added is_retired test to hyperdb.Class
162 - added capability to save queries:
163 - a query Class with name, klass (to search) and url (query string)
164 properties
165 - a Multilink to query on user called queries
166 - html templates for query, and a list of queries in user.item
167 - search form has Save button & name input
168 - saved queries put in menu in pagehead
169 - for migration, none of the above is required and old behavior preserved.
170 - showquery translates search form <-> query string
171 - cleaned up the indexer code:
172 - it splits more words out
173 - removed code we'll never use (roundup.roundup_indexer has the full
174 implementation, and replaces roundup.indexer)
175 - only index text/plain and rfc822/message (ideas for other text formats to
176 index are welcome)
177 - added simple unit test for indexer. Needs more tests for regression.
178 - all String properties may now be indexed too. Currently there's a bit of
179 "issue" specific code in the actual searching which needs to be
180 addressed. In a nutshell:
181 + pass 'indexme="yes"' as a String() property initialisation arg, eg:
182 file = FileClass(db, "file", name=String(), type=String(),
183 comment=String(indexme="yes"))
184 + the comment will then be indexed and be searchable, with the results
185 related back to the issue that the file is linked to
186 - as a result of this work, the FileClass has a default MIME type that may
187 be overridden in a subclass, or by the use of a "type" property as is
188 done in the default templates.
189 - the regeneration of the indexes (if necessary) is done once the schema is
190 set up in the dbinit.
191 - new "reindex" command in roundup-admin used to force regeneration of the
192 index
193 - added email display function - mangles email addrs so they're not so easily
194 scraped from the web
195 - switched to using a session-based web login
196 - made mailgw handle set and modify operations on multilinks (bug #579094)
197 - fixed the journal bloat from multilink changes - we just log the add or
198 remove operations, not the whole list
201 2002-06-24 0.4.2
202 Fixed:
203 - Cleaned up the hyperdb unit tests.
204 - Applied patch from Andrew W. Nosenko to give nicer Unauthorised message
205 when anonymous user tries to edit. Should've been applied in 0.4.2pr1. Oops.
206 - Added more detailed note to MIGRATION regarding the detectors changes.
209 2002-06-19 0.4.2pr1
210 Feature:
211 - added a "detectors" directory for people to put their useful auditors and
212 reactors in. Note - the roundupdb.IssueClass.sendmessage method has been
213 split and renamed "nosymessage" specifically for things like the nosy
214 reactor, and "send_message" which just sends the message.
215 - link() htmltemplate function now has a "showid" option for links and
216 multilinks. When true, it only displays the linked node id as the anchor
217 text. The link value is displayed as a tooltip using the title anchor
218 attribute.
219 To use in eg. the superseder field, have something like this:
220 <td>
221 <display call="field('superseder', showid=1)">
222 <display call="classhelp('issue', 'id,title', label='list', width=500)">
223 <property name="superseder">
224 <br>View: <display call="link('superseder', showid=1)">
225 </property>
226 </td>
227 - stripping of the email message body can now be controlled through the
228 config variables EMAIL_KEEP_QUOTED_TEXT and EMAIL_LEAVE_BODY_UNCHANGED.
229 - all database files created are now group readable and writable.
230 - added option to automatically add the authors and recipients of messages
231 to the nosy lists with the options ADD_AUTHOR_TO_NOSY (default 'new') and
232 ADD_RECIPIENTS_TO_NOSY (default 'new'). These settings emulate the current
233 behaviour. Setting them to 'yes' will add the author/recipients to the nosy
234 on messages that create issues and followup messages.
235 - reverting to dates for intervals > 2 months sucks
236 - changed the default message list in issues to display the message body
237 - applied patch #558876 ] cgi client customization
238 - split instance initialisation into two steps, allowing config changes
239 before the database is initialised.
240 - don't create an empty message on email issue creation if the email is empty
241 - may now display additional fields in Multilink form menus
242 - #541941 ] changing multilink properties by mail
243 - #526730 ] search for messages capability
244 - #505180 ] split MailGW.handle_Message
245 - also changed cgi client since it was duplicating the functionality
247 Fixed:
248 - stop sending blank (whitespace-only) notes
249 - cleanup of serialisation for database storage
250 - node ids are now generated from a lockable store - no more race conditions
251 - sorting was applied to all nodes of the MultiLink class instead of
252 to the nodes that are actually linked to in the "field" template
253 function. This adds about 20+ seconds in the display of an issue if
254 your database has a 1000 or more issues in it.
255 - added missing documentation for a few of the config option values
256 - file upload broke if you didn't supply a change note
257 - fixed SCRIPT_NAME in ZRoundup for instances not at top level of Zope
258 (thanks dman)
259 - fixed some sorting issues that were breaking some unit tests under py2.2
260 - mailgw test output dir was confusing the init test (but only on 2.2 *shrug*)
261 - node caching now works, and gives a small boost in performance
262 - #449374 ] re-enable bsddb3 backend
263 bsddb3 backend now works, reinstating
264 - #551483 ] assignedto in Client.make_index_link
265 - made backends.__init__ be more specific about which ImportErrors it really
266 wants to ignore
267 - fixed the example addresses in the templates to use correct example domains
268 - cleaned out the template stylesheets, removing a bunch of junk that really
269 wasn't necessary (font specs, styles never used) and added a style for
270 message content
271 - build htmlbase if tests are run using CVS checkout
272 - #565979 ] code error in hyperdb.Class.find
273 - #565996 ] The "Attach a File to this Issue" fails
274 - #564271 ] find() and new properties
275 - #562130 ] cookie path generated from ZRoundup was wrong in some situations
276 - remove CR characters embedded in messages (ZRoundup)
277 - properly quote the email address and "real name" in all situations using the
278 'email' module if it is available and 'rfc822' otherwise
279 - #565992 ] if ISSUE_TRACKER_WEB doesn't have the trailing '/', add it
280 - use the rfc822 module to ensure that every (oddball) email address and
281 real-name is properly quoted
282 - #558867 ] ZRoundup redirect /instance requests to /instance/
283 - #569415 ] {version}
284 - #569178 ] type error
285 was fixed as part of the general cleanup of reactors
288 2002-03-25 - 0.4.1
289 Feature:
290 - use blobfiles in back_anydbm which is used in back_bsddb.
291 change test_db as dirlist does not work for subdirectories.
292 ATTENTION: blobfiles now creates subdirectories for files.
293 - add module blobfiles in backends with file access functions.
294 - roundup db catch only IOError in getfile.
295 - roundup db catches retrieving not existing files.
296 - #503204 ] mailgw needs a default class
297 - partially done - the setting of additional properties can wait for a
298 better configuration system.
299 - Alternate email addresses are now available for users. See the MIGRATION
300 file for info on how to activate the feature.
301 - #511168 ] Web interface: Adding new products
302 Classes that don't provide template html get a default edit interface now:
303 - access using the admin "class list" interface
304 - limited to admin-only
305 - requires the csv module from object-craft (url given if it's missing)
306 - Added popup help for classes using the classhelp html template function.
307 - add <display call="classhelp('priority', 'id,name,description')">
308 to an item page, and it generates a link to a popup window which displays
309 the id, name and description for the priority class. The description
310 field won't exist in most installations, but it will be added to the
311 default templates.
312 - #517734 ] web header customisation is obscure
313 - All messages sent to the nosy list are now encoded as
314 quoted-printable before they are sent.
315 - Fixed display of mutlilink properties when using the template
316 functions, menu and plain.
318 Fixed:
319 - Clean up mail handling, multipart handling.
320 - respect encodings in non multipart messages.
321 - makeHtmlBase: re.sub under python 2.2 did not replace '.', string.replace
322 does it.
323 - preamble in tepmlateBuilder mentioned htmldata
324 - mailgw checks encoding on first part too.
325 - #511586 ] unittest FAIL: testReldate_date
326 - Added a uniquely Roundup header to email, "X-Roundup-Name"
327 - All forms now have "double-submit" protection when Javascript is enabled
328 on the client-side.
329 - #516883 ] mail interface + ANONYMOUS_REGISTER
330 - #516854 ] "My Issues" and redisplay
331 - #517906 ] Attribute order in "View customisation"
332 - #514854 ] History: "User" is always ticket creator
333 - wasn't handling cvs parser feeding correctly
334 - fixed some problems in date calculations (calendar.py doesn't handle over-
335 and under-flow). Also, hour/minute/second intervals may now be more than
336 99 each.
337 - #527416 ] roundup-admin uses undefined value
338 - #527503 ] unfriendly init blowup when parent dir
339 (also handles UsageError correctly now in init)
340 - #524129 ] roundup-admin gets python path wrong
343 2002-01-24 - 0.4.0
344 Feature:
345 - much nicer history display (actualy real handling of property types etc)
346 - journal entries for link and mutlilink properties can be switched on or
347 off
348 - properties in change note are now sorted
349 - you can now use the roundup-admin tool pack the database
351 Fixed:
352 - the mail gateway now responds with an error message when invalid values
353 for arguments are specified for link or mutlilink properties
354 - modified unit test to check nosy and assignedto when specified as arguments
355 - handle attachments with no name (eg tnef)
356 - fixed setting nosy as argument in subject line
357 - fixed back_bsddb so it passed the journal tests
358 - fixed status changes in mail gateway (eg. unread -> chatting)
359 - we'll actually distribute the frontends directory now, as advertised...
360 - handle stripping of "AW:" from subject line
361 - htmltemplate list() wasn't sorting...
362 - unit tests for html templating (and re-enabled the listbox field for
363 multilinks)
364 - allow abbreviation of "help" in admin tool too.
365 - run_tests testReldate_date failed if LANG is 'german'
366 - mailgw failures (unexpected ones) are forwarded to the roundup admin
369 2002-01-16 - 0.4.0b2
370 Fixed:
371 - #495392 ] empty nosy -patch
372 - #500574 ] messageid must have format <part1@part2>
373 - fixed some problems with web editing and change detection
374 - mail splitting wasn't detecting responses in the same "section" as quoted
375 text
376 - missed a "from i18n import _" in date.py
377 - #501690 ] MIGRATION.txt incomplete
378 - #502342 ] pipe interface
379 - #502437 ] rogue reactor and unittest
380 - re-enabled dumbdbm when using python >2.1.1 (ie 2.1.2, 2.2)
381 - changed all config accesses so they access either the instance or the
382 config attriubute on the db. This means that all config is obtained from
383 instance_config instead of the mish-mash of classes. This will make
384 switching to a ConfigParser setup easier too, I hope.
385 - #502951 ] adding new properties to old database
386 - #502953 ] nosy-like treatment of other multilinks
387 - #503164 ] create and passwords
388 - plain rendering of links in the htmltemplate now generate a hyperlink to
389 the linked node's page.
390 - #503330 ] ANONYMOUS_REGISTER now applies to mail
391 - #503353 ] setting properties in initial email
392 - #502956 ] filtering by multilink not supported
393 - #503340 ] creating issue with [asignedto=p.ohly]
394 - #502949 ] index view for non-issues and redisplay
395 - #503793 ] changing assignedto resets nosy list
396 - lots of date/interval related changes:
397 - more relaxed date format for input
398 - handle None for date/interval properties
401 2002-01-08 - 0.4.0b1
402 Feature:
403 - Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
404 the instance.
405 - Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
406 signature info in e-mails.
407 - Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
408 - Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
409 - Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
410 - We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
411 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
412 bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
413 lot more work anyway...
414 - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
415 single transaction
416 - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
417 if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
418 during the session (up to the last commit).
419 - Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
420 - Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
421 (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
422 - Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
423 - Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
424 needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
425 - much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
426 - #496356 ] Use threading in messages
427 This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
428 using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
429 feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
431 Fixed:
432 - Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
433 - login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
434 - Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
435 gateway.
436 - Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
437 on a failure)
438 - We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
439 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
440 - #487480 ] roundup-server
441 - #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
442 - #489760 ] [issue] only subject
443 - fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
444 - fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
445 - web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
446 - we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
447 this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
448 cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
449 - envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
450 delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
451 - #495400 ] entering blanks
452 Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
453 for details.
454 - #496360 ] table width does not work
455 - detectors were being registered multiple times
456 - added tests for mailgw
459 2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
460 Feature:
461 - #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
462 - #473123 ] Change message generation for author
463 - MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
464 - Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
465 - Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
466 - "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
467 - roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
468 - roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
469 - roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
470 - users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
471 - incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
472 e-mail
473 - added a target version field to the extended issue schema
474 - added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
475 translatable messages
477 Fixed:
478 - Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
479 - 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
480 - Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
481 - roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
482 - Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
483 - Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
484 - bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
485 - bug #474749 ] indentations lost
486 - bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
487 - bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
488 - bug #477687 ] conforming html
489 - bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
490 - bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
491 - bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
492 - bug #477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
493 - newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.

496 - bad error report in hyperdb
497 - roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
498 of processing
499 - roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
500 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
501 an error message to the roundup admin.
502 - fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
503 - errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
504 squashed)
505 - re-open the database as the author in mail handling
506 - missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
509 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
510 Feature:
511 - MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
512 - feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
513 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
514 information is displayed.
515 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
516 - Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
517 - Tabular display of nodes.
518 - Import and export via colon-separated files.
520 Changed:
521 - re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
522 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
524 Fixed:
525 - Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
526 - CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
527 - Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
528 - Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
529 - Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
530 - Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
531 - Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
532 - bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
533 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
534 - bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
535 as numbers now.
536 - bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
537 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
538 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
539 - bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
540 - bug #473126: Sender unknown
541 - bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
544 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
545 Fixed:
546 - Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
547 property values. This broke a lot of things.
550 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
551 Feature:
552 - roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
553 on the command-line.
554 - hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
555 properties.
556 - CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
558 Changed:
559 - Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
560 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
561 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
562 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
563 - The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
564 - The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
565 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
566 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
567 - Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
568 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
569 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
570 number of encoding systems.
571 - The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
572 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
573 documentation for details.)
575 Fixed:
576 - Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
577 Ping - has been removed.
578 - Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
579 - Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
580 - AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
581 - Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
582 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
583 - Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
584 an item now throws an exception.
585 - The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
586 - Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
590 --------------
592 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
593 Fixed:
594 - Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
595 - Missing import in mailgw.
598 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
599 Feature:
600 - Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
601 regular expressions now.
603 Fixed:
604 - Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
605 - Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
606 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
607 - Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
608 - Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
609 that the change note message is actually genrated.
610 - CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
611 - Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
612 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
613 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
614 - Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
615 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
616 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
619 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
620 Note:
621 - Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
623 Feature:
624 - Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
625 with bugs in roundup.init!
626 - Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
627 the tests.
628 - Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
630 Fixed:
631 - Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
632 signatures now too.
633 - Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
634 - Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
635 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
636 - Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
637 - Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
638 module name for the instances on import time.
641 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
642 Note:
643 - The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
644 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
646 Fixed:
647 - Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
648 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
651 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
652 Features:
653 - Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
654 should be linked somewhere.
655 - Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
656 - Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
657 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
658 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
659 cleanup the header up.
660 - Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
661 - Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
662 are displayed.
663 - Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
664 rebuild.
665 - Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
666 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
667 - Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
668 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
669 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
670 instructions, etc).
672 Fixed:
673 - Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
674 - Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
675 - Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
676 - Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
677 - 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
678 - mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
679 was creating nodes for.
680 - remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
681 - Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
682 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
683 names.
686 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
687 Big change:
688 - I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
689 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
690 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
691 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
692 code in "extended" either way.
694 Features:
695 - Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
696 we do anything distutils'y.
697 - Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
698 - Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
699 help and better command-line arg handling.
700 - The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
701 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
702 - Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
704 Fixed:
705 - One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
706 - Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
707 hard-coded to "issue".
708 - templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
709 - The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
710 properly.
711 - The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
712 nodeid) properly.
715 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
716 Features:
717 - Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
718 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
719 - Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
720 tests for multipart splitting.
721 - Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
722 - Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
723 - Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
724 - Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
725 - Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
726 behaviour.
727 - Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
728 - Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
729 it).
731 Fixed:
732 - Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
733 - New issue form handles lack of note better now.
734 - HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
735 - Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
736 - Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
737 query elements.
738 - Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
739 changed now.
742 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
743 Features:
744 - Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
745 - Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
746 directory as "overview.html".
748 Fixes:
749 - Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
750 "html" directory in instance home.
751 - Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
752 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
753 There you go...
754 - Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
755 strict about such things.
757 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
758 Features:
759 - Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
760 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
761 back-ends.
762 - Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
763 out-of-the-box
764 - Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
765 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
766 - Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
767 - Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
768 out-of-the-box.
769 - Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
770 - Added some unit tests.
772 Fixes:
773 - Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
774 - Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
775 - Fixed adding new issue with no change note
776 - Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
777 quoted.
778 - Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
779 message.
781 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
782 - Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
783 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
784 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
785 - Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
786 - Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
787 - Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
788 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
789 - Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
790 - Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
791 - Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
792 columns to sort by to 2.
793 - Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
794 ^text - search for text at start of fields
795 text$ - search for text at end of fields
796 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
797 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
798 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
799 - Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
802 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
803 - Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
804 the priority column isn't displayed.
805 - Thanks Anthony:
806 - added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
807 - added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
808 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
809 - python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
810 - better handling of db directory in initDB
811 - Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
812 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
813 properties, etc.
814 - Set the default index to sort on activity
817 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
818 - Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
819 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
821 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
822 - Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
823 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
824 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
825 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
