1 This file contains the changes to the Roundup system over time. The entries
2 are given with the most recent entry first.
4 2002-01-?? - 0.4.0b2
5 Fixed:
6 . #495392 ] empty nosy -patch
7 . #500574 ] messageid must have format <part1@part2>
8 . fixed some problems with web editing and change detection
10 2002-01-08 - 0.4.0b1
11 Feature:
12 . Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
13 the instance.
14 . Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
15 signature info in e-mails.
16 . Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
17 . Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
18 . Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
19 . We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
20 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
21 bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
22 lot more work anyway...
23 - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
24 single transaction
25 - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
26 if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
27 during the session (up to the last commit).
28 . Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
29 . Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
30 (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
31 . Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
32 . Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
33 needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
34 . much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
35 . #496356 ] Use threading in messages
36 This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
37 using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
38 feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
40 Fixed:
41 . Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
42 . login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
43 . Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
44 gateway.
45 . Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
46 on a failure)
47 . We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
48 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
49 . #487480 ] roundup-server
50 . #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
51 . #489760 ] [issue] only subject
52 . fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
53 . fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
54 . web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
55 . we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
56 this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
57 cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
58 . envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
59 delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
60 . #495400 ] entering blanks
61 Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
62 for details.
63 . #496360 ] table width does not work
64 . detectors were being registered multiple times
65 . added tests for mailgw
68 2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
69 Feature:
70 . #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
71 . #473123 ] Change message generation for author
72 . MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
73 . Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
74 . Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
75 . "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
76 . roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
77 . roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
78 . roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
79 . users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
80 . incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
81 e-mail
82 . added a target version field to the extended issue schema
83 . added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
84 translatable messages
86 Fixed:
87 . Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
88 . 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
89 . Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
90 . roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
91 . Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
92 . Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
93 . bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
94 . bug #474749 ] indentations lost
95 . bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
96 . bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
97 . bug #477687 ] conforming html
98 . bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
99 . bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
100 . bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
101 . bug #477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
102 . newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
103 . bug #479511 ] mailgw to pop
104 . bug #479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
105 . bad error report in hyperdb
106 . roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
107 of processing
108 . roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
109 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
110 an error message to the roundup admin.
111 . fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
112 . errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
113 squashed)
114 . re-open the database as the author in mail handling
115 . missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
118 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
119 Feature:
120 . MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
121 . feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
122 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
123 information is displayed.
124 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
125 . Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
126 . Tabular display of nodes.
127 . Import and export via colon-separated files.
129 Changed:
130 . re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
131 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
133 Fixed:
134 . Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
135 . CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
136 . Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
137 . Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
138 . Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
139 . Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
140 . Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
141 . bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
142 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
143 . bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
144 as numbers now.
145 . bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
146 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
147 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
148 . bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
149 . bug #473126: Sender unknown
150 . bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
153 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
154 Fixed:
155 . Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
156 property values. This broke a lot of things.
159 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
160 Feature:
161 . roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
162 on the command-line.
163 . hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
164 properties.
165 . CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
167 Changed:
168 . Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
169 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
170 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
171 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
172 . The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
173 . The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
174 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
175 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
176 . Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
177 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
178 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
179 number of encoding systems.
180 . The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
181 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
182 documentation for details.)
184 Fixed:
185 . Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
186 Ping - has been removed.
187 . Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
188 . Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
189 . AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
190 . Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
191 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
192 . Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
193 an item now throws an exception.
194 . The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
195 . Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
199 --------------
201 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
202 Fixed:
203 . Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
204 . Missing import in mailgw.
207 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
208 Feature:
209 . Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
210 regular expressions now.
212 Fixed:
213 . Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
214 . Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
215 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
216 . Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
217 . Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
218 that the change note message is actually genrated.
219 . CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
220 . Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
221 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
222 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
223 . Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
224 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
225 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
228 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
229 Note:
230 . Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
232 Feature:
233 . Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
234 with bugs in roundup.init!
235 . Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
236 the tests.
237 . Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
239 Fixed:
240 . Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
241 signatures now too.
242 . Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
243 . Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
244 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
245 . Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
246 . Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
247 module name for the instances on import time.
250 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
251 Note:
252 . The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
253 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
255 Fixed:
256 . Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
257 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
260 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
261 Features:
262 . Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
263 should be linked somewhere.
264 . Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
265 . Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
266 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
267 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
268 cleanup the header up.
269 . Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
270 . Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
271 are displayed.
272 . Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
273 rebuild.
274 . Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
275 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
276 . Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
277 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
278 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
279 instructions, etc).
281 Fixed:
282 . Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
283 . Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
284 . Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
285 . Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
286 . 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
287 . mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
288 was creating nodes for.
289 . remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
290 . Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
291 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
292 names.
295 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
296 Big change:
297 . I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
298 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
299 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
300 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
301 code in "extended" either way.
303 Features:
304 . Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
305 we do anything distutils'y.
306 . Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
307 . Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
308 help and better command-line arg handling.
309 . The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
310 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
311 . Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
313 Fixed:
314 . One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
315 . Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
316 hard-coded to "issue".
317 . templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
318 . The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
319 properly.
320 . The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
321 nodeid) properly.
324 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
325 Features:
326 . Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
327 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
328 . Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
329 tests for multipart splitting.
330 . Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
331 . Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
332 . Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
333 . Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
334 . Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
335 behaviour.
336 . Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
337 . Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
338 it).
340 Fixed:
341 . Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
342 . New issue form handles lack of note better now.
343 . HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
344 . Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
345 . Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
346 query elements.
347 . Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
348 changed now.
351 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
352 Features:
353 . Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
354 . Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
355 directory as "overview.html".
357 Fixes:
358 . Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
359 "html" directory in instance home.
360 . Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
361 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
362 There you go...
363 . Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
364 strict about such things.
366 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
367 Features:
368 . Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
369 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
370 back-ends.
371 . Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
372 out-of-the-box
373 . Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
374 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
375 . Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
376 . Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
377 out-of-the-box.
378 . Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
379 . Added some unit tests.
381 Fixes:
382 . Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
383 . Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
384 . Fixed adding new issue with no change note
385 . Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
386 quoted.
387 . Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
388 message.
390 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
391 . Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
392 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
393 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
394 . Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
395 . Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
396 . Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
397 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
398 . Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
399 . Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
400 . Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
401 columns to sort by to 2.
402 . Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
403 ^text - search for text at start of fields
404 text$ - search for text at end of fields
405 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
406 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
407 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
408 . Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
411 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
412 . Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
413 the priority column isn't displayed.
414 . Thanks Anthony:
415 . added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
416 . added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
417 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
418 . python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
419 . better handling of db directory in initDB
420 . Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
421 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
422 properties, etc.
423 . Set the default index to sort on activity
426 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
427 . Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
428 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
430 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
431 . Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
432 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
433 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
434 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
