423 - revamped look and feel in web interface
424 - cleaned up stylesheet usage
425 - several bug fixes and documentation fixes
426 - added is_retired test to hyperdb.Class
427 - added capability to save queries:
428 - a query Class with name, klass (to search) and url (query string)
429 properties
430 - a Multilink to query on user called queries
431 - html templates for query, and a list of queries in user.item
432 - search form has Save button & name input
433 - saved queries put in menu in pagehead
434 - for migration, none of the above is required and old behavior preserved.
435 - showquery translates search form <-> query string
436 - cleaned up the indexer code:
437 - it splits more words out
438 - removed code we'll never use (roundup.roundup_indexer has the full
439 implementation, and replaces roundup.indexer)
440 - only index text/plain and rfc822/message (ideas for other text formats to
441 index are welcome)
442 - added simple unit test for indexer. Needs more tests for regression.
443 - all String properties may now be indexed too. Currently there's a bit of
444 "issue" specific code in the actual searching which needs to be
445 addressed. In a nutshell:
446 + pass 'indexme="yes"' as a String() property initialisation arg, eg:
447 file = FileClass(db, "file", name=String(), type=String(),
448 comment=String(indexme="yes"))
449 + the comment will then be indexed and be searchable, with the results
450 related back to the issue that the file is linked to
451 - as a result of this work, the FileClass has a default MIME type that may
452 be overridden in a subclass, or by the use of a "type" property as is
453 done in the default templates.
454 - the regeneration of the indexes (if necessary) is done once the schema is
455 set up in the dbinit.
456 - new "reindex" command in roundup-admin used to force regeneration of the
457 index
458 - added email display function - mangles email addrs so they're not so easily
459 scraped from the web
460 - switched to using a session-based web login
461 - made mailgw handle set and modify operations on multilinks (bug #579094)
462 - fixed the journal bloat from multilink changes - we just log the add or
463 remove operations, not the whole list
466 2002-06-24 0.4.2
467 Fixed:
468 - Cleaned up the hyperdb unit tests.
469 - Applied patch from Andrew W. Nosenko to give nicer Unauthorised message
470 when anonymous user tries to edit. Should've been applied in 0.4.2pr1. Oops.
471 - Added more detailed note to MIGRATION regarding the detectors changes.
474 2002-06-19 0.4.2pr1
475 Feature:
476 - added a "detectors" directory for people to put their useful auditors and
477 reactors in. Note - the roundupdb.IssueClass.sendmessage method has been
478 split and renamed "nosymessage" specifically for things like the nosy
479 reactor, and "send_message" which just sends the message.
480 - link() htmltemplate function now has a "showid" option for links and
481 multilinks. When true, it only displays the linked node id as the anchor
482 text. The link value is displayed as a tooltip using the title anchor
483 attribute.
484 To use in eg. the superseder field, have something like this:
485 <td>
486 <display call="field('superseder', showid=1)">
487 <display call="classhelp('issue', 'id,title', label='list', width=500)">
488 <property name="superseder">
489 <br>View: <display call="link('superseder', showid=1)">
490 </property>
491 </td>
492 - stripping of the email message body can now be controlled through the
493 config variables EMAIL_KEEP_QUOTED_TEXT and EMAIL_LEAVE_BODY_UNCHANGED.
494 - all database files created are now group readable and writable.
495 - added option to automatically add the authors and recipients of messages
496 to the nosy lists with the options ADD_AUTHOR_TO_NOSY (default 'new') and
497 ADD_RECIPIENTS_TO_NOSY (default 'new'). These settings emulate the current
498 behaviour. Setting them to 'yes' will add the author/recipients to the nosy
499 on messages that create issues and followup messages.
500 - reverting to dates for intervals > 2 months sucks
501 - changed the default message list in issues to display the message body
502 - applied patch #558876 ] cgi client customization
503 - split instance initialisation into two steps, allowing config changes
504 before the database is initialised.
505 - don't create an empty message on email issue creation if the email is empty
506 - may now display additional fields in Multilink form menus
507 - #541941 ] changing multilink properties by mail
508 - #526730 ] search for messages capability
509 - #505180 ] split MailGW.handle_Message
510 - also changed cgi client since it was duplicating the functionality
512 Fixed:
513 - stop sending blank (whitespace-only) notes
514 - cleanup of serialisation for database storage
515 - node ids are now generated from a lockable store - no more race conditions
516 - sorting was applied to all nodes of the MultiLink class instead of
517 to the nodes that are actually linked to in the "field" template
518 function. This adds about 20+ seconds in the display of an issue if
519 your database has a 1000 or more issues in it.
520 - added missing documentation for a few of the config option values
521 - file upload broke if you didn't supply a change note
522 - fixed SCRIPT_NAME in ZRoundup for instances not at top level of Zope
523 (thanks dman)
524 - fixed some sorting issues that were breaking some unit tests under py2.2
525 - mailgw test output dir was confusing the init test (but only on 2.2 *shrug*)
526 - node caching now works, and gives a small boost in performance
527 - #449374 ] re-enable bsddb3 backend
528 bsddb3 backend now works, reinstating
529 - #551483 ] assignedto in Client.make_index_link
530 - made backends.__init__ be more specific about which ImportErrors it really
531 wants to ignore
532 - fixed the example addresses in the templates to use correct example domains
533 - cleaned out the template stylesheets, removing a bunch of junk that really
534 wasn't necessary (font specs, styles never used) and added a style for
535 message content
536 - build htmlbase if tests are run using CVS checkout
537 - #565979 ] code error in hyperdb.Class.find
538 - #565996 ] The "Attach a File to this Issue" fails
539 - #564271 ] find() and new properties
540 - #562130 ] cookie path generated from ZRoundup was wrong in some situations
541 - remove CR characters embedded in messages (ZRoundup)
542 - properly quote the email address and "real name" in all situations using the
543 'email' module if it is available and 'rfc822' otherwise
544 - #565992 ] if ISSUE_TRACKER_WEB doesn't have the trailing '/', add it
545 - use the rfc822 module to ensure that every (oddball) email address and
546 real-name is properly quoted
547 - #558867 ] ZRoundup redirect /instance requests to /instance/
548 - #569415 ] {version}
549 - #569178 ] type error
550 was fixed as part of the general cleanup of reactors
553 2002-03-25 - 0.4.1
554 Feature:
555 - use blobfiles in back_anydbm which is used in back_bsddb.
556 change test_db as dirlist does not work for subdirectories.
557 ATTENTION: blobfiles now creates subdirectories for files.
558 - add module blobfiles in backends with file access functions.
559 - roundup db catch only IOError in getfile.
560 - roundup db catches retrieving not existing files.
561 - #503204 ] mailgw needs a default class
562 - partially done - the setting of additional properties can wait for a
563 better configuration system.
564 - Alternate email addresses are now available for users. See the MIGRATION
565 file for info on how to activate the feature.
566 - #511168 ] Web interface: Adding new products
567 Classes that don't provide template html get a default edit interface now:
568 - access using the admin "class list" interface
569 - limited to admin-only
570 - requires the csv module from object-craft (url given if it's missing)
571 - Added popup help for classes using the classhelp html template function.
572 - add <display call="classhelp('priority', 'id,name,description')">
573 to an item page, and it generates a link to a popup window which displays
574 the id, name and description for the priority class. The description
575 field won't exist in most installations, but it will be added to the
576 default templates.
577 - #517734 ] web header customisation is obscure
578 - All messages sent to the nosy list are now encoded as
579 quoted-printable before they are sent.
580 - Fixed display of mutlilink properties when using the template
581 functions, menu and plain.
583 Fixed:
584 - Clean up mail handling, multipart handling.
585 - respect encodings in non multipart messages.
586 - makeHtmlBase: re.sub under python 2.2 did not replace '.', string.replace
587 does it.
588 - preamble in tepmlateBuilder mentioned htmldata
589 - mailgw checks encoding on first part too.
590 - #511586 ] unittest FAIL: testReldate_date
591 - Added a uniquely Roundup header to email, "X-Roundup-Name"
592 - All forms now have "double-submit" protection when Javascript is enabled
593 on the client-side.
594 - #516883 ] mail interface + ANONYMOUS_REGISTER
595 - #516854 ] "My Issues" and redisplay
596 - #517906 ] Attribute order in "View customisation"
597 - #514854 ] History: "User" is always ticket creator
598 - wasn't handling cvs parser feeding correctly
599 - fixed some problems in date calculations (calendar.py doesn't handle over-
600 and under-flow). Also, hour/minute/second intervals may now be more than
601 99 each.
602 - #527416 ] roundup-admin uses undefined value
603 - #527503 ] unfriendly init blowup when parent dir
604 (also handles UsageError correctly now in init)
605 - #524129 ] roundup-admin gets python path wrong
608 2002-01-24 - 0.4.0
609 Feature:
610 - much nicer history display (actualy real handling of property types etc)
611 - journal entries for link and mutlilink properties can be switched on or
612 off
613 - properties in change note are now sorted
614 - you can now use the roundup-admin tool pack the database
616 Fixed:
617 - the mail gateway now responds with an error message when invalid values
618 for arguments are specified for link or mutlilink properties
619 - modified unit test to check nosy and assignedto when specified as arguments
620 - handle attachments with no name (eg tnef)
621 - fixed setting nosy as argument in subject line
622 - fixed back_bsddb so it passed the journal tests
623 - fixed status changes in mail gateway (eg. unread -> chatting)
624 - we'll actually distribute the frontends directory now, as advertised...
625 - handle stripping of "AW:" from subject line
626 - htmltemplate list() wasn't sorting...
627 - unit tests for html templating (and re-enabled the listbox field for
628 multilinks)
629 - allow abbreviation of "help" in admin tool too.
630 - run_tests testReldate_date failed if LANG is 'german'
631 - mailgw failures (unexpected ones) are forwarded to the roundup admin
634 2002-01-16 - 0.4.0b2
635 Fixed:
636 - #495392 ] empty nosy -patch
637 - #500574 ] messageid must have format <part1@part2>
638 - fixed some problems with web editing and change detection
639 - mail splitting wasn't detecting responses in the same "section" as quoted
640 text
641 - missed a "from i18n import _" in date.py
642 - #501690 ] MIGRATION.txt incomplete
643 - #502342 ] pipe interface
644 - #502437 ] rogue reactor and unittest
645 - re-enabled dumbdbm when using python >2.1.1 (ie 2.1.2, 2.2)
646 - changed all config accesses so they access either the instance or the
647 config attriubute on the db. This means that all config is obtained from
648 instance_config instead of the mish-mash of classes. This will make
649 switching to a ConfigParser setup easier too, I hope.
650 - #502951 ] adding new properties to old database
651 - #502953 ] nosy-like treatment of other multilinks
652 - #503164 ] create and passwords
653 - plain rendering of links in the htmltemplate now generate a hyperlink to
654 the linked node's page.
655 - #503330 ] ANONYMOUS_REGISTER now applies to mail
656 - #503353 ] setting properties in initial email
657 - #502956 ] filtering by multilink not supported
658 - #503340 ] creating issue with [asignedto=p.ohly]
659 - #502949 ] index view for non-issues and redisplay
660 - #503793 ] changing assignedto resets nosy list
661 - lots of date/interval related changes:
662 - more relaxed date format for input
663 - handle None for date/interval properties
666 2002-01-08 - 0.4.0b1
667 Feature:
668 - Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
669 the instance.
670 - Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
671 signature info in e-mails.
672 - Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
673 - Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
674 - Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
675 - We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
676 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
677 bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
678 lot more work anyway...
679 - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
680 single transaction
681 - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
682 if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
683 during the session (up to the last commit).
684 - Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
685 - Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
686 (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
687 - Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
688 - Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
689 needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
690 - much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
691 - #496356 ] Use threading in messages
692 This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
693 using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
694 feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
696 Fixed:
697 - Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
698 - login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
699 - Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
700 gateway.
701 - Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
702 on a failure)
703 - We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
704 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
705 - #487480 ] roundup-server
706 - #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
707 - #489760 ] [issue] only subject
708 - fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
709 - fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
710 - web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
711 - we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
712 this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
713 cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
714 - envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
715 delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
716 - #495400 ] entering blanks
717 Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
718 for details.
719 - #496360 ] table width does not work
720 - detectors were being registered multiple times
721 - added tests for mailgw
724 2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
725 Feature:
726 - #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
727 - #473123 ] Change message generation for author
728 - MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
729 - Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
730 - Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
731 - "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
732 - roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
733 - roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
734 - roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
735 - users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
736 - incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
737 e-mail
738 - added a target version field to the extended issue schema
739 - added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
740 translatable messages
742 Fixed:
743 - Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
744 - 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
745 - Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
746 - roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
747 - Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
748 - Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
749 - bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
750 - bug #474749 ] indentations lost
751 - bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
752 - bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
753 - bug #477687 ] conforming html
754 - bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
755 - bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
756 - bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
757 - bug #477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
758 - newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
759 - bug #479511 ] mailgw to pop
760 - bug #479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
761 - bad error report in hyperdb
762 - roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
763 of processing
764 - roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
765 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
766 an error message to the roundup admin.
767 - fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
768 - errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
769 squashed)
770 - re-open the database as the author in mail handling
771 - missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
774 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
775 Feature:
776 - MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
777 - feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
778 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
779 information is displayed.
780 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
781 - Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
782 - Tabular display of nodes.
783 - Import and export via colon-separated files.
785 Changed:
786 - re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
787 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
789 Fixed:
790 - Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
791 - CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
792 - Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
793 - Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
794 - Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
795 - Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
796 - Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
797 - bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
798 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
799 - bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
800 as numbers now.
801 - bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
802 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
803 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
804 - bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
805 - bug #473126: Sender unknown
806 - bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
809 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
810 Fixed:
811 - Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
812 property values. This broke a lot of things.
815 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
816 Feature:
817 - roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
818 on the command-line.
819 - hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
820 properties.
821 - CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
823 Changed:
824 - Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
825 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
826 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
827 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
828 - The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
829 - The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
830 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
831 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
832 - Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
833 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
834 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
835 number of encoding systems.
836 - The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
837 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
838 documentation for details.)
840 Fixed:
841 - Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
842 Ping - has been removed.
843 - Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
844 - Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
845 - AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
846 - Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
847 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
848 - Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
849 an item now throws an exception.
850 - The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
851 - Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
855 --------------
857 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
858 Fixed:
859 - Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
860 - Missing import in mailgw.
863 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
864 Feature:
865 - Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
866 regular expressions now.
868 Fixed:
869 - Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
870 - Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
871 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
872 - Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
873 - Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
874 that the change note message is actually genrated.
875 - CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
876 - Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
877 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
878 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
879 - Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
880 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
881 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
884 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
885 Note:
886 - Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
888 Feature:
889 - Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
890 with bugs in roundup.init!
891 - Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
892 the tests.
893 - Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
895 Fixed:
896 - Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
897 signatures now too.
898 - Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
899 - Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
900 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
901 - Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
902 - Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
903 module name for the instances on import time.
906 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
907 Note:
908 - The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
909 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
911 Fixed:
912 - Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
913 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
916 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
917 Features:
918 - Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
919 should be linked somewhere.
920 - Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
921 - Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
922 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
923 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
924 cleanup the header up.
925 - Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
926 - Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
927 are displayed.
928 - Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
929 rebuild.
930 - Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
931 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
932 - Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
933 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
934 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
935 instructions, etc).
937 Fixed:
938 - Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
939 - Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
940 - Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
941 - Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
942 - 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
943 - mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
944 was creating nodes for.
945 - remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
946 - Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
947 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
948 names.
951 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
952 Big change:
953 - I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
954 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
955 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
956 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
957 code in "extended" either way.
959 Features:
960 - Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
961 we do anything distutils'y.
962 - Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
963 - Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
964 help and better command-line arg handling.
965 - The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
966 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
967 - Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
969 Fixed:
970 - One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
971 - Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
972 hard-coded to "issue".
973 - templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
974 - The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
975 properly.
976 - The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
977 nodeid) properly.
980 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
981 Features:
982 - Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
983 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
984 - Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
985 tests for multipart splitting.
986 - Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
987 - Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
988 - Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
989 - Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
990 - Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
991 behaviour.
992 - Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
993 - Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
994 it).
996 Fixed:
997 - Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
998 - New issue form handles lack of note better now.
999 - HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
1000 - Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
1001 - Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
1002 query elements.
1003 - Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
1004 changed now.
1007 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
1008 Features:
1009 - Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
1010 - Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
1011 directory as "overview.html".
1013 Fixes:
1014 - Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
1015 "html" directory in instance home.
1016 - Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
1017 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
1018 There you go...
1019 - Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
1020 strict about such things.
1022 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
1023 Features:
1024 - Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
1025 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
1026 back-ends.
1027 - Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
1028 out-of-the-box
1029 - Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
1030 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
1031 - Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
1032 - Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
1033 out-of-the-box.
1034 - Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
1035 - Added some unit tests.
1037 Fixes:
1038 - Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
1039 - Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
1040 - Fixed adding new issue with no change note
1041 - Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
1042 quoted.
1043 - Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
1044 message.
1046 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
1047 - Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
1048 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
1049 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
1050 - Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
1051 - Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
1052 - Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
1053 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
1054 - Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
1055 - Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
1056 - Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
1057 columns to sort by to 2.
1058 - Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
1059 ^text - search for text at start of fields
1060 text$ - search for text at end of fields
1061 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
1062 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
1063 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
1064 - Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
1067 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
1068 - Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
1069 the priority column isn't displayed.
1070 - Thanks Anthony:
1071 - added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
1072 - added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
1073 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
1074 - python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
1075 - better handling of db directory in initDB
1076 - Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
1077 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
1078 properties, etc.
1079 - Set the default index to sort on activity
1082 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
1083 - Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
1084 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
1086 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
1087 - Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
1088 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
1089 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
1090 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
