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 . use blobfiles in back_anydbm which is used in back_bsddb.
7 change test_db as dirlist does not work for subdirectories.
8 ATTENTION: blobfiles now creates subdirectories for files.
9 . add module blobfiles in backends with file access functions.
10 . roundup db catch only IOError in getfile.
11 . roundup db catches retrieving not existing files.
12 . #503204 ] mailgw needs a default class
13 - partially done - the setting of additional properties can wait for a
14 better configuration system.
15 . Alternate email addresses are now available for users. See the MIGRATION
16 file for info on how to activate the feature.
17 . #511168 ] Web interface: Adding new products
18 Classes that don't provide template html get a default edit interface now:
19 - access using the admin "class list" interface
20 - limited to admin-only
21 - requires the csv module from object-craft (url given if it's missing)
22 . Added popup help for classes using the classhelp html template function.
23 - add <display call="classhelp('priority', 'id,name,description')">
24 to an item page, and it generates a link to a popup window which displays
25 the id, name and description for the priority class. The description
26 field won't exist in most installations, but it will be added to the
27 default templates.
29 Fixed:
30 . Clean up mail handling, multipart handling.
31 . respect encodings in non multipart messages.
32 . makeHtmlBase: re.sub under python 2.2 did not replace '.', string.replace
33 does it.
34 . preamble in tepmlateBuilder mentioned htmldata
35 . mailgw checks encoding on first part too.
36 . #511586 ] unittest FAIL: testReldate_date
37 . Added a uniquely Roundup header to email, "X-Roundup-Name"
38 . All forms now have "double-submit" protection when Javascript is enabled
39 on the client-side.
40 . #516883 ] mail interface + ANONYMOUS_REGISTER
41 . #516854 ] "My Issues" and redisplay
42 . #517906 ] Attribute order in "View customisation"
43 . #514854 ] History: "User" is always ticket creator
44 . wasn't handling cvs parser feeding correctly
45 . fixed some problems in date calculations (calendar.py doesn't handle over-
46 and under-flow). Also, hour/minute/second intervals may now be more than
47 99 each.
50 2002-01-24 - 0.4.0
51 Feature:
52 . much nicer history display (actualy real handling of property types etc)
53 . journal entries for link and mutlilink properties can be switched on or
54 off
55 . properties in change note are now sorted
56 . you can now use the roundup-admin tool pack the database
58 Fixed:
59 . the mail gateway now responds with an error message when invalid values
60 for arguments are specified for link or mutlilink properties
61 . modified unit test to check nosy and assignedto when specified as arguments
62 . handle attachments with no name (eg tnef)
63 . fixed setting nosy as argument in subject line
64 . fixed back_bsddb so it passed the journal tests
65 . fixed status changes in mail gateway (eg. unread -> chatting)
66 . we'll actually distribute the frontends directory now, as advertised...
67 . handle stripping of "AW:" from subject line
68 . htmltemplate list() wasn't sorting...
69 . unit tests for html templating (and re-enabled the listbox field for
70 multilinks)
71 . allow abbreviation of "help" in admin tool too.
72 . run_tests testReldate_date failed if LANG is 'german'
73 . mailgw failures (unexpected ones) are forwarded to the roundup admin
76 2002-01-16 - 0.4.0b2
77 Fixed:
78 . #495392 ] empty nosy -patch
79 . #500574 ] messageid must have format <part1@part2>
80 . fixed some problems with web editing and change detection
81 . mail splitting wasn't detecting responses in the same "section" as quoted
82 text
83 . missed a "from i18n import _" in date.py
84 . #501690 ] MIGRATION.txt incomplete
85 . #502342 ] pipe interface
86 . #502437 ] rogue reactor and unittest
87 . re-enabled dumbdbm when using python >2.1.1 (ie 2.1.2, 2.2)
88 . changed all config accesses so they access either the instance or the
89 config attriubute on the db. This means that all config is obtained from
90 instance_config instead of the mish-mash of classes. This will make
91 switching to a ConfigParser setup easier too, I hope.
92 . #502951 ] adding new properties to old database
93 . #502953 ] nosy-like treatment of other multilinks
94 . #503164 ] create and passwords
95 . plain rendering of links in the htmltemplate now generate a hyperlink to
96 the linked node's page.
97 . #503330 ] ANONYMOUS_REGISTER now applies to mail
98 . #503353 ] setting properties in initial email
99 . #502956 ] filtering by multilink not supported
100 . #503340 ] creating issue with [asignedto=p.ohly]
101 . #502949 ] index view for non-issues and redisplay
102 . #503793 ] changing assignedto resets nosy list
103 . lots of date/interval related changes:
104 - more relaxed date format for input
105 - handle None for date/interval properties
108 2002-01-08 - 0.4.0b1
109 Feature:
110 . Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
111 the instance.
112 . Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
113 signature info in e-mails.
114 . Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
115 . Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
116 . Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
117 . We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
118 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
119 bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
120 lot more work anyway...
121 - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
122 single transaction
123 - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
124 if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
125 during the session (up to the last commit).
126 . Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
127 . Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
128 (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
129 . Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
130 . Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
131 needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
132 . much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
133 . #496356 ] Use threading in messages
134 This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
135 using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
136 feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
138 Fixed:
139 . Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
140 . login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
141 . Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
142 gateway.
143 . Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
144 on a failure)
145 . We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
146 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
147 . #487480 ] roundup-server
148 . #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
149 . #489760 ] [issue] only subject
150 . fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
151 . fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
152 . web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
153 . we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
154 this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
155 cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
156 . envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
157 delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
158 . #495400 ] entering blanks
159 Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
160 for details.
161 . #496360 ] table width does not work
162 . detectors were being registered multiple times
163 . added tests for mailgw
166 2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
167 Feature:
168 . #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
169 . #473123 ] Change message generation for author
170 . MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
171 . Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
172 . Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
173 . "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
174 . roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
175 . roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
176 . roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
177 . users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
178 . incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
179 e-mail
180 . added a target version field to the extended issue schema
181 . added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
182 translatable messages
184 Fixed:
185 . Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
186 . 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
187 . Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
188 . roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
189 . Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
190 . Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
191 . bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
192 . bug #474749 ] indentations lost
193 . bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
194 . bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
195 . bug #477687 ] conforming html
196 . bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
197 . bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
198 . bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
199 . bug #477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
200 . newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
201 . bug #479511 ] mailgw to pop
202 . bug #479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
203 . bad error report in hyperdb
204 . roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
205 of processing
206 . roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
207 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
208 an error message to the roundup admin.
209 . fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
210 . errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
211 squashed)
212 . re-open the database as the author in mail handling
213 . missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
216 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
217 Feature:
218 . MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
219 . feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
220 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
221 information is displayed.
222 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
223 . Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
224 . Tabular display of nodes.
225 . Import and export via colon-separated files.
227 Changed:
228 . re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
229 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
231 Fixed:
232 . Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
233 . CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
234 . Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
235 . Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
236 . Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
237 . Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
238 . Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
239 . bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
240 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
241 . bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
242 as numbers now.
243 . bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
244 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
245 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
246 . bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
247 . bug #473126: Sender unknown
248 . bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
251 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
252 Fixed:
253 . Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
254 property values. This broke a lot of things.
257 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
258 Feature:
259 . roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
260 on the command-line.
261 . hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
262 properties.
263 . CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
265 Changed:
266 . Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
267 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
268 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
269 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
270 . The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
271 . The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
272 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
273 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
274 . Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
275 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
276 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
277 number of encoding systems.
278 . The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
279 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
280 documentation for details.)
282 Fixed:
283 . Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
284 Ping - has been removed.
285 . Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
286 . Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
287 . AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
288 . Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
289 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
290 . Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
291 an item now throws an exception.
292 . The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
293 . Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
297 --------------
299 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
300 Fixed:
301 . Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
302 . Missing import in mailgw.
305 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
306 Feature:
307 . Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
308 regular expressions now.
310 Fixed:
311 . Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
312 . Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
313 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
314 . Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
315 . Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
316 that the change note message is actually genrated.
317 . CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
318 . Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
319 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
320 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
321 . Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
322 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
323 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
326 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
327 Note:
328 . Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
330 Feature:
331 . Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
332 with bugs in roundup.init!
333 . Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
334 the tests.
335 . Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
337 Fixed:
338 . Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
339 signatures now too.
340 . Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
341 . Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
342 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
343 . Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
344 . Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
345 module name for the instances on import time.
348 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
349 Note:
350 . The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
351 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
353 Fixed:
354 . Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
355 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
358 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
359 Features:
360 . Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
361 should be linked somewhere.
362 . Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
363 . Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
364 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
365 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
366 cleanup the header up.
367 . Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
368 . Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
369 are displayed.
370 . Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
371 rebuild.
372 . Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
373 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
374 . Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
375 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
376 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
377 instructions, etc).
379 Fixed:
380 . Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
381 . Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
382 . Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
383 . Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
384 . 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
385 . mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
386 was creating nodes for.
387 . remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
388 . Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
389 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
390 names.
393 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
394 Big change:
395 . I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
396 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
397 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
398 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
399 code in "extended" either way.
401 Features:
402 . Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
403 we do anything distutils'y.
404 . Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
405 . Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
406 help and better command-line arg handling.
407 . The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
408 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
409 . Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
411 Fixed:
412 . One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
413 . Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
414 hard-coded to "issue".
415 . templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
416 . The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
417 properly.
418 . The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
419 nodeid) properly.
422 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
423 Features:
424 . Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
425 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
426 . Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
427 tests for multipart splitting.
428 . Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
429 . Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
430 . Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
431 . Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
432 . Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
433 behaviour.
434 . Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
435 . Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
436 it).
438 Fixed:
439 . Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
440 . New issue form handles lack of note better now.
441 . HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
442 . Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
443 . Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
444 query elements.
445 . Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
446 changed now.
449 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
450 Features:
451 . Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
452 . Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
453 directory as "overview.html".
455 Fixes:
456 . Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
457 "html" directory in instance home.
458 . Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
459 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
460 There you go...
461 . Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
462 strict about such things.
464 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
465 Features:
466 . Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
467 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
468 back-ends.
469 . Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
470 out-of-the-box
471 . Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
472 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
473 . Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
474 . Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
475 out-of-the-box.
476 . Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
477 . Added some unit tests.
479 Fixes:
480 . Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
481 . Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
482 . Fixed adding new issue with no change note
483 . Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
484 quoted.
485 . Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
486 message.
488 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
489 . Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
490 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
491 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
492 . Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
493 . Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
494 . Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
495 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
496 . Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
497 . Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
498 . Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
499 columns to sort by to 2.
500 . Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
501 ^text - search for text at start of fields
502 text$ - search for text at end of fields
503 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
504 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
