1 This file contains the changes to the Roundup system over time. The entries
2 are given with the most recent entry first.
4 2002-02-?? - 0.4.1
5 Feature:
6 . #503204 ] mailgw needs a default class
7 - partially done - the setting of additional properties can wait for a
8 better configuration system.
9 . Alternate email addresses are now available for users. See the MIGRATION
10 file for info on how to activate the feature.
13 Fixed:
14 . Clean up mail handling, multipart handling.
15 . respect encodings in non multipart messages.
16 . makeHtmlBase: re.sub under python 2.2 did not replace '.', string.replace
17 does it.
18 . preamble in tepmlateBuilder mentioned htmldata
19 . mailgw checks encoding on first part too.
20 . #511586 ] unittest FAIL: testReldate_date
21 . Added a uniquely Roundup header to email, "X-Roundup-Name"
22 . All forms now have "double-submit" protection when Javascript is enabled
23 on the client-side.
24 . #516883 ] mail interface + ANONYMOUS_REGISTER
25 . #516854 ] "My Issues" and redisplay
26 . #517906 ] Attribute order in "View customisation"
29 2002-01-24 - 0.4.0
30 Feature:
31 . much nicer history display (actualy real handling of property types etc)
32 . journal entries for link and mutlilink properties can be switched on or
33 off
34 . properties in change note are now sorted
35 . you can now use the roundup-admin tool pack the database
37 Fixed:
38 . the mail gateway now responds with an error message when invalid values
39 for arguments are specified for link or mutlilink properties
40 . modified unit test to check nosy and assignedto when specified as arguments
41 . handle attachments with no name (eg tnef)
42 . fixed setting nosy as argument in subject line
43 . fixed back_bsddb so it passed the journal tests
44 . fixed status changes in mail gateway (eg. unread -> chatting)
45 . we'll actually distribute the frontends directory now, as advertised...
46 . handle stripping of "AW:" from subject line
47 . htmltemplate list() wasn't sorting...
48 . unit tests for html templating (and re-enabled the listbox field for
49 multilinks)
50 . allow abbreviation of "help" in admin tool too.
51 . run_tests testReldate_date failed if LANG is 'german'
52 . mailgw failures (unexpected ones) are forwarded to the roundup admin
55 2002-01-16 - 0.4.0b2
56 Fixed:
57 . #495392 ] empty nosy -patch
58 . #500574 ] messageid must have format <part1@part2>
59 . fixed some problems with web editing and change detection
60 . mail splitting wasn't detecting responses in the same "section" as quoted
61 text
62 . missed a "from i18n import _" in date.py
63 . #501690 ] MIGRATION.txt incomplete
64 . #502342 ] pipe interface
65 . #502437 ] rogue reactor and unittest
66 . re-enabled dumbdbm when using python >2.1.1 (ie 2.1.2, 2.2)
67 . changed all config accesses so they access either the instance or the
68 config attriubute on the db. This means that all config is obtained from
69 instance_config instead of the mish-mash of classes. This will make
70 switching to a ConfigParser setup easier too, I hope.
71 . #502951 ] adding new properties to old database
72 . #502953 ] nosy-like treatment of other multilinks
73 . #503164 ] create and passwords
74 . plain rendering of links in the htmltemplate now generate a hyperlink to
75 the linked node's page.
76 . #503330 ] ANONYMOUS_REGISTER now applies to mail
77 . #503353 ] setting properties in initial email
78 . #502956 ] filtering by multilink not supported
79 . #503340 ] creating issue with [asignedto=p.ohly]
80 . #502949 ] index view for non-issues and redisplay
81 . #503793 ] changing assignedto resets nosy list
82 . lots of date/interval related changes:
83 - more relaxed date format for input
84 - handle None for date/interval properties
87 2002-01-08 - 0.4.0b1
88 Feature:
89 . Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
90 the instance.
91 . Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
92 signature info in e-mails.
93 . Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
94 . Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
95 . Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
96 . We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
97 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
98 bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
99 lot more work anyway...
100 - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
101 single transaction
102 - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
103 if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
104 during the session (up to the last commit).
105 . Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
106 . Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
107 (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
108 . Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
109 . Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
110 needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
111 . much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
112 . #496356 ] Use threading in messages
113 This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
114 using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
115 feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
117 Fixed:
118 . Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
119 . login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
120 . Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
121 gateway.
122 . Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
123 on a failure)
124 . We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
125 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
126 . #487480 ] roundup-server
127 . #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
128 . #489760 ] [issue] only subject
129 . fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
130 . fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
131 . web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
132 . we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
133 this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
134 cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
135 . envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
136 delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
137 . #495400 ] entering blanks
138 Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
139 for details.
140 . #496360 ] table width does not work
141 . detectors were being registered multiple times
142 . added tests for mailgw
145 2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
146 Feature:
147 . #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
148 . #473123 ] Change message generation for author
149 . MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
150 . Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
151 . Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
152 . "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
153 . roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
154 . roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
155 . roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
156 . users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
157 . incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
158 e-mail
159 . added a target version field to the extended issue schema
160 . added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
161 translatable messages
163 Fixed:
164 . Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
165 . 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
166 . Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
167 . roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
168 . Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
169 . Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
170 . bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
171 . bug #474749 ] indentations lost
172 . bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
173 . bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
174 . bug #477687 ] conforming html
175 . bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
176 . bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
177 . bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
178 . bug #477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
179 . newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
180 . bug #479511 ] mailgw to pop
181 . bug #479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
182 . bad error report in hyperdb
183 . roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
184 of processing
185 . roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
186 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
187 an error message to the roundup admin.
188 . fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
189 . errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
190 squashed)
191 . re-open the database as the author in mail handling
192 . missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
195 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
196 Feature:
197 . MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
198 . feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
199 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
200 information is displayed.
201 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
202 . Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
203 . Tabular display of nodes.
204 . Import and export via colon-separated files.
206 Changed:
207 . re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
208 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
210 Fixed:
211 . Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
212 . CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
213 . Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
214 . Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
215 . Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
216 . Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
217 . Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
218 . bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
219 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
220 . bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
221 as numbers now.
222 . bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
223 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
224 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
225 . bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
226 . bug #473126: Sender unknown
227 . bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
230 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
231 Fixed:
232 . Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
233 property values. This broke a lot of things.
236 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
237 Feature:
238 . roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
239 on the command-line.
240 . hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
241 properties.
242 . CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
244 Changed:
245 . Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
246 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
247 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
248 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
249 . The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
250 . The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
251 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
252 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
253 . Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
254 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
255 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
256 number of encoding systems.
257 . The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
258 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
259 documentation for details.)
261 Fixed:
262 . Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
263 Ping - has been removed.
264 . Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
265 . Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
266 . AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
267 . Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
268 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
269 . Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
270 an item now throws an exception.
271 . The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
272 . Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
276 --------------
278 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
279 Fixed:
280 . Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
281 . Missing import in mailgw.
284 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
285 Feature:
286 . Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
287 regular expressions now.
289 Fixed:
290 . Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
291 . Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
292 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
293 . Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
294 . Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
295 that the change note message is actually genrated.
296 . CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
297 . Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
298 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
299 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
300 . Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
301 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
302 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
305 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
306 Note:
307 . Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
309 Feature:
310 . Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
311 with bugs in roundup.init!
312 . Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
313 the tests.
314 . Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
316 Fixed:
317 . Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
318 signatures now too.
319 . Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
320 . Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
321 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
322 . Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
323 . Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
324 module name for the instances on import time.
327 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
328 Note:
329 . The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
330 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
332 Fixed:
333 . Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
334 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
337 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
338 Features:
339 . Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
340 should be linked somewhere.
341 . Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
342 . Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
343 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
344 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
345 cleanup the header up.
346 . Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
347 . Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
348 are displayed.
349 . Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
350 rebuild.
351 . Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
352 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
353 . Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
354 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
355 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
356 instructions, etc).
358 Fixed:
359 . Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
360 . Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
361 . Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
362 . Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
363 . 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
364 . mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
365 was creating nodes for.
366 . remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
367 . Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
368 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
369 names.
372 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
373 Big change:
374 . I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
375 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
376 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
377 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
378 code in "extended" either way.
380 Features:
381 . Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
382 we do anything distutils'y.
383 . Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
384 . Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
385 help and better command-line arg handling.
386 . The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
387 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
388 . Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
390 Fixed:
391 . One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
392 . Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
393 hard-coded to "issue".
394 . templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
395 . The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
396 properly.
397 . The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
398 nodeid) properly.
401 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
402 Features:
403 . Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
404 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
405 . Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
406 tests for multipart splitting.
407 . Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
408 . Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
409 . Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
410 . Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
411 . Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
412 behaviour.
413 . Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
414 . Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
415 it).
417 Fixed:
418 . Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
419 . New issue form handles lack of note better now.
420 . HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
421 . Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
422 . Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
423 query elements.
424 . Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
425 changed now.
428 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
429 Features:
430 . Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
431 . Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
432 directory as "overview.html".
434 Fixes:
435 . Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
436 "html" directory in instance home.
437 . Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
438 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
439 There you go...
440 . Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
441 strict about such things.
443 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
444 Features:
445 . Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
446 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
447 back-ends.
448 . Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
449 out-of-the-box
450 . Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
451 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
452 . Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
453 . Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
454 out-of-the-box.
455 . Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
456 . Added some unit tests.
458 Fixes:
459 . Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
460 . Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
461 . Fixed adding new issue with no change note
462 . Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
463 quoted.
464 . Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
465 message.
467 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
468 . Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
469 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
470 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
471 . Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
472 . Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
473 . Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
474 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
475 . Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
476 . Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
477 . Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
478 columns to sort by to 2.
479 . Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
480 ^text - search for text at start of fields
481 text$ - search for text at end of fields
482 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
483 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
484 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
485 . Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
488 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
489 . Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
490 the priority column isn't displayed.
491 . Thanks Anthony:
492 . added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
493 . added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
494 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
495 . python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
496 . better handling of db directory in initDB
497 . Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
498 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
499 properties, etc.
500 . Set the default index to sort on activity
503 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
504 . Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
505 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
507 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
508 . Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
509 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
510 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
511 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
