36 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
37 Feature:
38 . MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
39 . feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
40 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
41 information is displayed.
42 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
43 . Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
44 . Tabular display of nodes.
45 . Import and export via colon-separated files.
47 Changed:
48 . re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
49 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
51 Fixed:
52 . Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
53 . CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
54 . Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
55 . Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
56 . Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
57 . Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
58 . Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
59 . bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
60 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
61 . bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
62 as numbers now.
63 . bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
64 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
65 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
66 . bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
67 . bug #473126: Sender unknown
68 . bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
71 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
72 Fixed:
73 . Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
74 property values. This broke a lot of things.
77 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
78 Feature:
79 . roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
80 on the command-line.
81 . hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
82 properties.
83 . CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
85 Changed:
86 . Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
87 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
88 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
89 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
90 . The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
91 . The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
92 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
93 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
94 . Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
95 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
96 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
97 number of encoding systems.
98 . The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
99 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
100 documentation for details.)
102 Fixed:
103 . Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
104 Ping - has been removed.
105 . Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
106 . Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
107 . AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
108 . Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
109 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
110 . Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
111 an item now throws an exception.
112 . The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
113 . Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
117 --------------
119 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
120 Fixed:
121 . Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
122 . Missing import in mailgw.
125 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
126 Feature:
127 . Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
128 regular expressions now.
130 Fixed:
131 . Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
132 . Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
133 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
134 . Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
135 . Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
136 that the change note message is actually genrated.
137 . CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
138 . Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
139 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
140 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
141 . Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
142 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
143 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
146 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
147 Note:
148 . Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
150 Feature:
151 . Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
152 with bugs in roundup.init!
153 . Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
154 the tests.
155 . Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
157 Fixed:
158 . Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
159 signatures now too.
160 . Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
161 . Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
162 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
163 . Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
164 . Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
165 module name for the instances on import time.
168 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
169 Note:
170 . The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
171 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
173 Fixed:
174 . Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
175 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
178 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
179 Features:
180 . Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
181 should be linked somewhere.
182 . Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
183 . Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
184 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
185 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
186 cleanup the header up.
187 . Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
188 . Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
189 are displayed.
190 . Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
191 rebuild.
192 . Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
193 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
194 . Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
195 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
196 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
197 instructions, etc).
199 Fixed:
200 . Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
201 . Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
202 . Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
203 . Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
204 . 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
205 . mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
206 was creating nodes for.
207 . remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
208 . Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
209 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
210 names.
213 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
214 Big change:
215 . I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
216 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
217 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
218 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
219 code in "extended" either way.
221 Features:
222 . Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
223 we do anything distutils'y.
224 . Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
225 . Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
226 help and better command-line arg handling.
227 . The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
228 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
229 . Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
231 Fixed:
232 . One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
233 . Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
234 hard-coded to "issue".
235 . templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
236 . The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
237 properly.
238 . The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
239 nodeid) properly.
242 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
243 Features:
244 . Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
245 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
246 . Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
247 tests for multipart splitting.
248 . Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
249 . Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
250 . Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
251 . Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
252 . Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
253 behaviour.
254 . Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
255 . Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
256 it).
258 Fixed:
259 . Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
260 . New issue form handles lack of note better now.
261 . HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
262 . Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
263 . Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
264 query elements.
265 . Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
266 changed now.
269 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
270 Features:
271 . Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
272 . Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
273 directory as "overview.html".
275 Fixes:
276 . Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
277 "html" directory in instance home.
278 . Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
279 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
280 There you go...
281 . Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
282 strict about such things.
284 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
285 Features:
286 . Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
287 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
288 back-ends.
289 . Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
290 out-of-the-box
291 . Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
292 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
293 . Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
294 . Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
295 out-of-the-box.
296 . Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
297 . Added some unit tests.
299 Fixes:
300 . Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
301 . Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
302 . Fixed adding new issue with no change note
303 . Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
304 quoted.
305 . Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
306 message.
308 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
309 . Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
310 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
311 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
312 . Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
313 . Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
314 . Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
315 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
316 . Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
317 . Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
318 . Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
319 columns to sort by to 2.
320 . Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
321 ^text - search for text at start of fields
322 text$ - search for text at end of fields
323 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
324 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
325 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
326 . Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
329 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
330 . Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
331 the priority column isn't displayed.
332 . Thanks Anthony:
333 . added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
334 . added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
335 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
336 . python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
337 . better handling of db directory in initDB
338 . Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
339 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
340 properties, etc.
341 . Set the default index to sort on activity
344 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
345 . Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
346 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
348 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
349 . Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
350 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
351 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
352 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
