1 This file contains the changes to the Roundup system over time. The entries
2 are given with the most recent entry first.
4 2002-09-?? 0.5.0 ????
5 . handling of None for Date/Interval/Password values in export/import
6 . handling of journal values in export/import
7 . password edit now has a confirmation field
8 . registration error punts back to register page
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
17 2002-09-13 0.5.0 beta2
18 . all backends now have a .close() method, and it's used everywhere
19 . fixed bug in detectors __init__
20 . switched the default issue item display to only show issue summary
21 (added instructions to doc to make it display entire content)
22 . MANIFEST.in was missing a lot of template files
23 . added generic item editing
24 . much nicer layout of template rendering errors
25 . added context/is_edit_ok and context/is_view_ok convenience methods and
26 implemented use of them in the classic template
29 2002-09-11 0.5.0 beta1
30 Fixed:
31 . #576086 ] dumb copying mistake (frontends/ZRoundup.py)
32 . installation instructions now mention "python2" in "testing your python".
33 . made the unit tests run again - they were quite b0rken
34 . #571170 ] gdbm deadlock
35 . #576241 ] MultiLink problems in parsePropsFromForm
36 . fixed the date module so that Date(". - 2d") works
37 . web forms may now unset Link values (like assignedto)
38 . cleanup: moved roundup.templatebuilder to roundup.templates.builder
39 . instance __init__ no longer silently traps dbinit import errors
41 Feature:
42 . new backend for metakit (thanks Gordon McMillan)
43 . new backend for gadfly (it's as done as it's going to get)
44 . further split the dbm backends from the core code, allowing easier
45 non-dict-like backends (eg metakit, RDB)
46 . implemented and used the new access control mechanisms (Permissions, Roles)
47 (see doc/security.txt)
48 . switched templating to use Zope's PageTemplates (yay!)
49 . switched to sessions for web authentication
50 . added Boolean and Number types
51 . fixed the journal bloat
52 . updated design document for new access controls
53 . updated customisation document, including more examples
54 . entire database export and import (incl files)
55 . better mailgw help message (feature request #558562)
56 . re-enabled link backrefs from messages (feature request #568714)
57 . the page layout is now templatable
58 . re-worked cgi interface to abstract out the explicit "issue" interface
59 . have index page handle mid-page errors better so header and footer are
60 still visible
61 . we handle "not found", access and item page render errors better
62 . fixed double-submit by having new-item-submit redirect at end
63 . daemonify roundup-server (fork, logfile, pidfile)
64 . modify cgitb to display PageTemplate errors better
65 . rename to "instance" to "tracker"
66 . have roundup.cgi pick up tracker config from the environment
67 . revamped look and feel in web interface
68 . cleaned up stylesheet usage
69 . several bug fixes and documentation fixes
70 . added is_retired test to hyperdb.Class
71 . added capability to save queries:
72 - a query Class with name, klass (to search) and url (query string)
73 properties
74 - a Multilink to query on user called queries
75 - html templates for query, and a list of queries in user.item
76 - search form has Save button & name input
77 - saved queries put in menu in pagehead
78 - for migration, none of the above is required and old behavior preserved.
79 - showquery translates search form <-> query string
80 . cleaned up the indexer code:
81 - it splits more words out
82 - removed code we'll never use (roundup.roundup_indexer has the full
83 implementation, and replaces roundup.indexer)
84 - only index text/plain and rfc822/message (ideas for other text formats to
85 index are welcome)
86 - added simple unit test for indexer. Needs more tests for regression.
87 - all String properties may now be indexed too. Currently there's a bit of
88 "issue" specific code in the actual searching which needs to be
89 addressed. In a nutshell:
90 + pass 'indexme="yes"' as a String() property initialisation arg, eg:
91 file = FileClass(db, "file", name=String(), type=String(),
92 comment=String(indexme="yes"))
93 + the comment will then be indexed and be searchable, with the results
94 related back to the issue that the file is linked to
95 - as a result of this work, the FileClass has a default MIME type that may
96 be overridden in a subclass, or by the use of a "type" property as is
97 done in the default templates.
98 - the regeneration of the indexes (if necessary) is done once the schema is
99 set up in the dbinit.
100 - new "reindex" command in roundup-admin used to force regeneration of the
101 index
102 . added email display function - mangles email addrs so they're not so easily
103 scraped from the web
104 . switched to using a session-based web login
105 . made mailgw handle set and modify operations on multilinks (bug #579094)
106 . fixed the journal bloat from multilink changes - we just log the add or
107 remove operations, not the whole list
110 2002-06-24 0.4.2
111 Fixed:
112 . Cleaned up the hyperdb unit tests.
113 . Applied patch from Andrew W. Nosenko to give nicer Unauthorised message
114 when anonymous user tries to edit. Should've been applied in 0.4.2pr1. Oops.
115 . Added more detailed note to MIGRATION regarding the detectors changes.
118 2002-06-19 0.4.2pr1
119 Feature:
120 . added a "detectors" directory for people to put their useful auditors and
121 reactors in. Note - the roundupdb.IssueClass.sendmessage method has been
122 split and renamed "nosymessage" specifically for things like the nosy
123 reactor, and "send_message" which just sends the message.
124 . link() htmltemplate function now has a "showid" option for links and
125 multilinks. When true, it only displays the linked node id as the anchor
126 text. The link value is displayed as a tooltip using the title anchor
127 attribute.
128 To use in eg. the superseder field, have something like this:
129 <td>
130 <display call="field('superseder', showid=1)">
131 <display call="classhelp('issue', 'id,title', label='list', width=500)">
132 <property name="superseder">
133 <br>View: <display call="link('superseder', showid=1)">
134 </property>
135 </td>
136 . stripping of the email message body can now be controlled through the
137 config variables EMAIL_KEEP_QUOTED_TEXT and EMAIL_LEAVE_BODY_UNCHANGED.
138 . all database files created are now group readable and writable.
139 . added option to automatically add the authors and recipients of messages
140 to the nosy lists with the options ADD_AUTHOR_TO_NOSY (default 'new') and
141 ADD_RECIPIENTS_TO_NOSY (default 'new'). These settings emulate the current
142 behaviour. Setting them to 'yes' will add the author/recipients to the nosy
143 on messages that create issues and followup messages.
144 . reverting to dates for intervals > 2 months sucks
145 . changed the default message list in issues to display the message body
146 . applied patch #558876 ] cgi client customization
147 . split instance initialisation into two steps, allowing config changes
148 before the database is initialised.
149 . don't create an empty message on email issue creation if the email is empty
150 . may now display additional fields in Multilink form menus
151 . #541941 ] changing multilink properties by mail
152 . #526730 ] search for messages capability
153 . #505180 ] split MailGW.handle_Message
154 - also changed cgi client since it was duplicating the functionality
156 Fixed:
157 . stop sending blank (whitespace-only) notes
158 . cleanup of serialisation for database storage
159 . node ids are now generated from a lockable store - no more race conditions
160 . sorting was applied to all nodes of the MultiLink class instead of
161 to the nodes that are actually linked to in the "field" template
162 function. This adds about 20+ seconds in the display of an issue if
163 your database has a 1000 or more issues in it.
164 . added missing documentation for a few of the config option values
165 . file upload broke if you didn't supply a change note
166 . fixed SCRIPT_NAME in ZRoundup for instances not at top level of Zope
167 (thanks dman)
168 . fixed some sorting issues that were breaking some unit tests under py2.2
169 . mailgw test output dir was confusing the init test (but only on 2.2 *shrug*)
170 . node caching now works, and gives a small boost in performance
171 . #449374 ] re-enable bsddb3 backend
172 bsddb3 backend now works, reinstating
173 . #551483 ] assignedto in Client.make_index_link
174 . made backends.__init__ be more specific about which ImportErrors it really
175 wants to ignore
176 . fixed the example addresses in the templates to use correct example domains
177 . cleaned out the template stylesheets, removing a bunch of junk that really
178 wasn't necessary (font specs, styles never used) and added a style for
179 message content
180 . build htmlbase if tests are run using CVS checkout
181 . #565979 ] code error in hyperdb.Class.find
182 . #565996 ] The "Attach a File to this Issue" fails
183 . #564271 ] find() and new properties
184 . #562130 ] cookie path generated from ZRoundup was wrong in some situations
185 . remove CR characters embedded in messages (ZRoundup)
186 . properly quote the email address and "real name" in all situations using the
187 'email' module if it is available and 'rfc822' otherwise
188 . #565992 ] if ISSUE_TRACKER_WEB doesn't have the trailing '/', add it
189 . use the rfc822 module to ensure that every (oddball) email address and
190 real-name is properly quoted
191 . #558867 ] ZRoundup redirect /instance requests to /instance/
192 . #569415 ] {version}
193 . #569178 ] type error
194 was fixed as part of the general cleanup of reactors
197 2002-03-25 - 0.4.1
198 Feature:
199 . use blobfiles in back_anydbm which is used in back_bsddb.
200 change test_db as dirlist does not work for subdirectories.
201 ATTENTION: blobfiles now creates subdirectories for files.
202 . add module blobfiles in backends with file access functions.
203 . roundup db catch only IOError in getfile.
204 . roundup db catches retrieving not existing files.
205 . #503204 ] mailgw needs a default class
206 - partially done - the setting of additional properties can wait for a
207 better configuration system.
208 . Alternate email addresses are now available for users. See the MIGRATION
209 file for info on how to activate the feature.
210 . #511168 ] Web interface: Adding new products
211 Classes that don't provide template html get a default edit interface now:
212 - access using the admin "class list" interface
213 - limited to admin-only
214 - requires the csv module from object-craft (url given if it's missing)
215 . Added popup help for classes using the classhelp html template function.
216 - add <display call="classhelp('priority', 'id,name,description')">
217 to an item page, and it generates a link to a popup window which displays
218 the id, name and description for the priority class. The description
219 field won't exist in most installations, but it will be added to the
220 default templates.
221 . #517734 ] web header customisation is obscure
222 . All messages sent to the nosy list are now encoded as
223 quoted-printable before they are sent.
224 . Fixed display of mutlilink properties when using the template
225 functions, menu and plain.
227 Fixed:
228 . Clean up mail handling, multipart handling.
229 . respect encodings in non multipart messages.
230 . makeHtmlBase: re.sub under python 2.2 did not replace '.', string.replace
231 does it.
232 . preamble in tepmlateBuilder mentioned htmldata
233 . mailgw checks encoding on first part too.
234 . #511586 ] unittest FAIL: testReldate_date
235 . Added a uniquely Roundup header to email, "X-Roundup-Name"
236 . All forms now have "double-submit" protection when Javascript is enabled
237 on the client-side.
238 . #516883 ] mail interface + ANONYMOUS_REGISTER
239 . #516854 ] "My Issues" and redisplay
240 . #517906 ] Attribute order in "View customisation"
241 . #514854 ] History: "User" is always ticket creator
242 . wasn't handling cvs parser feeding correctly
243 . fixed some problems in date calculations (calendar.py doesn't handle over-
244 and under-flow). Also, hour/minute/second intervals may now be more than
245 99 each.
246 . #527416 ] roundup-admin uses undefined value
247 . #527503 ] unfriendly init blowup when parent dir
248 (also handles UsageError correctly now in init)
249 . #524129 ] roundup-admin gets python path wrong
252 2002-01-24 - 0.4.0
253 Feature:
254 . much nicer history display (actualy real handling of property types etc)
255 . journal entries for link and mutlilink properties can be switched on or
256 off
257 . properties in change note are now sorted
258 . you can now use the roundup-admin tool pack the database
260 Fixed:
261 . the mail gateway now responds with an error message when invalid values
262 for arguments are specified for link or mutlilink properties
263 . modified unit test to check nosy and assignedto when specified as arguments
264 . handle attachments with no name (eg tnef)
265 . fixed setting nosy as argument in subject line
266 . fixed back_bsddb so it passed the journal tests
267 . fixed status changes in mail gateway (eg. unread -> chatting)
268 . we'll actually distribute the frontends directory now, as advertised...
269 . handle stripping of "AW:" from subject line
270 . htmltemplate list() wasn't sorting...
271 . unit tests for html templating (and re-enabled the listbox field for
272 multilinks)
273 . allow abbreviation of "help" in admin tool too.
274 . run_tests testReldate_date failed if LANG is 'german'
275 . mailgw failures (unexpected ones) are forwarded to the roundup admin
278 2002-01-16 - 0.4.0b2
279 Fixed:
280 . #495392 ] empty nosy -patch
281 . #500574 ] messageid must have format <part1@part2>
282 . fixed some problems with web editing and change detection
283 . mail splitting wasn't detecting responses in the same "section" as quoted
284 text
285 . missed a "from i18n import _" in date.py
286 . #501690 ] MIGRATION.txt incomplete
287 . #502342 ] pipe interface
288 . #502437 ] rogue reactor and unittest
289 . re-enabled dumbdbm when using python >2.1.1 (ie 2.1.2, 2.2)
290 . changed all config accesses so they access either the instance or the
291 config attriubute on the db. This means that all config is obtained from
292 instance_config instead of the mish-mash of classes. This will make
293 switching to a ConfigParser setup easier too, I hope.
294 . #502951 ] adding new properties to old database
295 . #502953 ] nosy-like treatment of other multilinks
296 . #503164 ] create and passwords
297 . plain rendering of links in the htmltemplate now generate a hyperlink to
298 the linked node's page.
299 . #503330 ] ANONYMOUS_REGISTER now applies to mail
300 . #503353 ] setting properties in initial email
301 . #502956 ] filtering by multilink not supported
302 . #503340 ] creating issue with [asignedto=p.ohly]
303 . #502949 ] index view for non-issues and redisplay
304 . #503793 ] changing assignedto resets nosy list
305 . lots of date/interval related changes:
306 - more relaxed date format for input
307 - handle None for date/interval properties
310 2002-01-08 - 0.4.0b1
311 Feature:
312 . Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
313 the instance.
314 . Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
315 signature info in e-mails.
316 . Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
317 . Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
318 . Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
319 . We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
320 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
321 bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
322 lot more work anyway...
323 - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
324 single transaction
325 - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
326 if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
327 during the session (up to the last commit).
328 . Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
329 . Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
330 (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
331 . Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
332 . Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
333 needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
334 . much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
335 . #496356 ] Use threading in messages
336 This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
337 using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
338 feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
340 Fixed:
341 . Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
342 . login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
343 . Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
344 gateway.
345 . Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
346 on a failure)
347 . We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
348 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
349 . #487480 ] roundup-server
350 . #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
351 . #489760 ] [issue] only subject
352 . fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
353 . fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
354 . web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
355 . we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
356 this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
357 cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
358 . envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
359 delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
360 . #495400 ] entering blanks
361 Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
362 for details.
363 . #496360 ] table width does not work
364 . detectors were being registered multiple times
365 . added tests for mailgw
368 2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
369 Feature:
370 . #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
371 . #473123 ] Change message generation for author
372 . MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
373 . Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
374 . Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
375 . "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
376 . roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
377 . roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
378 . roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
379 . users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
380 . incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
381 e-mail
382 . added a target version field to the extended issue schema
383 . added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
384 translatable messages
386 Fixed:
387 . Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
388 . 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
389 . Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
390 . roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
391 . Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
392 . Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
393 . bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
394 . bug #474749 ] indentations lost
395 . bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
396 . bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
397 . bug #477687 ] conforming html
398 . bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
399 . bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
400 . bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
401 . bug #477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
402 . newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
403 . bug #479511 ] mailgw to pop
404 . bug #479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
405 . bad error report in hyperdb
406 . roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
407 of processing
408 . roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
409 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
410 an error message to the roundup admin.
411 . fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
412 . errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
413 squashed)
414 . re-open the database as the author in mail handling
415 . missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
418 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
419 Feature:
420 . MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
421 . feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
422 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
423 information is displayed.
424 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
425 . Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
426 . Tabular display of nodes.
427 . Import and export via colon-separated files.
429 Changed:
430 . re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
431 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
433 Fixed:
434 . Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
435 . CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
436 . Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
437 . Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
438 . Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
439 . Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
440 . Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
441 . bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
442 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
443 . bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
444 as numbers now.
445 . bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
446 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
447 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
448 . bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
449 . bug #473126: Sender unknown
450 . bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
453 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
454 Fixed:
455 . Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
456 property values. This broke a lot of things.
459 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
460 Feature:
461 . roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
462 on the command-line.
463 . hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
464 properties.
465 . CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
467 Changed:
468 . Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
469 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
470 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
471 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
472 . The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
473 . The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
474 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
475 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
476 . Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
477 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
478 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
479 number of encoding systems.
480 . The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
481 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
482 documentation for details.)
484 Fixed:
485 . Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
486 Ping - has been removed.
487 . Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
488 . Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
489 . AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
490 . Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
491 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
492 . Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
493 an item now throws an exception.
494 . The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
495 . Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
499 --------------
501 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
502 Fixed:
503 . Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
504 . Missing import in mailgw.
507 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
508 Feature:
509 . Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
510 regular expressions now.
512 Fixed:
513 . Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
514 . Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
515 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
516 . Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
517 . Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
518 that the change note message is actually genrated.
519 . CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
520 . Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
521 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
522 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
523 . Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
524 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
525 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
528 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
529 Note:
530 . Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
532 Feature:
533 . Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
534 with bugs in roundup.init!
535 . Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
536 the tests.
537 . Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
539 Fixed:
540 . Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
541 signatures now too.
542 . Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
543 . Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
544 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
545 . Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
546 . Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
547 module name for the instances on import time.
550 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
551 Note:
552 . The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
553 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
555 Fixed:
556 . Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
557 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
560 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
561 Features:
562 . Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
563 should be linked somewhere.
564 . Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
565 . Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
566 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
567 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
568 cleanup the header up.
569 . Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
570 . Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
571 are displayed.
572 . Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
573 rebuild.
574 . Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
575 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
576 . Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
577 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
578 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
579 instructions, etc).
581 Fixed:
582 . Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
583 . Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
584 . Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
585 . Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
586 . 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
587 . mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
588 was creating nodes for.
589 . remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
590 . Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
591 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
592 names.
595 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
596 Big change:
597 . I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
598 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
599 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
600 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
601 code in "extended" either way.
603 Features:
604 . Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
605 we do anything distutils'y.
606 . Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
607 . Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
608 help and better command-line arg handling.
609 . The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
610 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
611 . Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
613 Fixed:
614 . One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
615 . Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
616 hard-coded to "issue".
617 . templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
618 . The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
619 properly.
620 . The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
621 nodeid) properly.
624 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
625 Features:
626 . Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
627 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
628 . Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
629 tests for multipart splitting.
630 . Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
631 . Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
632 . Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
633 . Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
634 . Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
635 behaviour.
636 . Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
637 . Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
638 it).
640 Fixed:
641 . Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
642 . New issue form handles lack of note better now.
643 . HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
644 . Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
645 . Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
646 query elements.
647 . Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
648 changed now.
651 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
652 Features:
653 . Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
654 . Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
655 directory as "overview.html".
657 Fixes:
658 . Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
659 "html" directory in instance home.
660 . Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
661 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
662 There you go...
663 . Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
664 strict about such things.
666 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
667 Features:
668 . Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
669 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
670 back-ends.
671 . Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
672 out-of-the-box
673 . Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
674 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
675 . Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
676 . Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
677 out-of-the-box.
678 . Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
679 . Added some unit tests.
681 Fixes:
682 . Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
683 . Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
684 . Fixed adding new issue with no change note
685 . Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
686 quoted.
687 . Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
688 message.
690 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
691 . Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
692 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
693 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
694 . Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
695 . Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
696 . Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
697 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
698 . Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
699 . Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
700 . Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
701 columns to sort by to 2.
702 . Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
703 ^text - search for text at start of fields
704 text$ - search for text at end of fields
705 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
706 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
707 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
708 . Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
711 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
712 . Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
713 the priority column isn't displayed.
714 . Thanks Anthony:
715 . added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
716 . added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
717 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
718 . python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
719 . better handling of db directory in initDB
720 . Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
721 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
722 properties, etc.
723 . Set the default index to sort on activity
726 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
727 . Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
728 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
730 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
731 . Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
732 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
733 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
734 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
