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
9 . mail splitting wasn't detecting responses in the same "section" as quoted
10 text
11 . missed a "from i18n import _" in date.py
12 . #501690 ] MIGRATION.txt incomplete
13 . #502342 ] pipe interface
14 . #502437 ] rogue reactor and unittest
15 . re-enabled dumbdbm when using python >2.1.1 (ie 2.1.2, 2.2)
16 . changed all config accesses so they access either the instance or the
17 config attriubute on the db. This means that all config is obtained from
18 instance_config instead of the mish-mash of classes. This will make
19 switching to a ConfigParser setup easier too, I hope.
20 . #502951 ] adding new properties to old database
21 . #502953 ] nosy-like treatment of other multilinks
22 . #503164 ] create and passwords
23 . plain rendering of links in the htmltemplate now generate a hyperlink to
24 the linked node's page.
25 . #503330 ] ANONYMOUS_REGISTER now applies to mail
26 . #503353 ] setting properties in initial email
27 . #502956 ] filtering by multilink not supported
28 . #503340 ] creating issue with [asignedto=p.ohly]
31 2002-01-08 - 0.4.0b1
32 Feature:
33 . Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
34 the instance.
35 . Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
36 signature info in e-mails.
37 . Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
38 . Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
39 . Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
40 . We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
41 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
42 bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
43 lot more work anyway...
44 - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
45 single transaction
46 - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
47 if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
48 during the session (up to the last commit).
49 . Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
50 . Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
51 (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
52 . Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
53 . Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
54 needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
55 . much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
56 . #496356 ] Use threading in messages
57 This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
58 using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
59 feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
61 Fixed:
62 . Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
63 . login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
64 . Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
65 gateway.
66 . Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
67 on a failure)
68 . We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
69 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
70 . #487480 ] roundup-server
71 . #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
72 . #489760 ] [issue] only subject
73 . fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
74 . fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
75 . web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
76 . we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
77 this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
78 cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
79 . envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
80 delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
81 . #495400 ] entering blanks
82 Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
83 for details.
84 . #496360 ] table width does not work
85 . detectors were being registered multiple times
86 . added tests for mailgw
89 2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
90 Feature:
91 . #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
92 . #473123 ] Change message generation for author
93 . MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
94 . Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
95 . Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
96 . "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
97 . roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
98 . roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
99 . roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
100 . users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
101 . incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
102 e-mail
103 . added a target version field to the extended issue schema
104 . added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
105 translatable messages
107 Fixed:
108 . Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
109 . 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
110 . Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
111 . roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
112 . Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
113 . Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
114 . bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
115 . bug #474749 ] indentations lost
116 . bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
117 . bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
118 . bug #477687 ] conforming html
119 . bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
120 . bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
121 . bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
122 . bug #477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
123 . newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
124 . bug #479511 ] mailgw to pop
125 . bug #479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
126 . bad error report in hyperdb
127 . roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
128 of processing
129 . roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
130 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
131 an error message to the roundup admin.
132 . fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
133 . errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
134 squashed)
135 . re-open the database as the author in mail handling
136 . missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
139 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
140 Feature:
141 . MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
142 . feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
143 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
144 information is displayed.
145 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
146 . Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
147 . Tabular display of nodes.
148 . Import and export via colon-separated files.
150 Changed:
151 . re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
152 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
154 Fixed:
155 . Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
156 . CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
157 . Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
158 . Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
159 . Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
160 . Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
161 . Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
162 . bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
163 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
164 . bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
165 as numbers now.
166 . bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
167 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
168 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
169 . bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
170 . bug #473126: Sender unknown
171 . bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
174 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
175 Fixed:
176 . Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
177 property values. This broke a lot of things.
180 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
181 Feature:
182 . roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
183 on the command-line.
184 . hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
185 properties.
186 . CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
188 Changed:
189 . Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
190 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
191 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
192 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
193 . The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
194 . The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
195 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
196 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
197 . Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
198 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
199 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
200 number of encoding systems.
201 . The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
202 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
203 documentation for details.)
205 Fixed:
206 . Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
207 Ping - has been removed.
208 . Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
209 . Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
210 . AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
211 . Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
212 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
213 . Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
214 an item now throws an exception.
215 . The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
216 . Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
220 --------------
222 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
223 Fixed:
224 . Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
225 . Missing import in mailgw.
228 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
229 Feature:
230 . Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
231 regular expressions now.
233 Fixed:
234 . Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
235 . Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
236 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
237 . Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
238 . Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
239 that the change note message is actually genrated.
240 . CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
241 . Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
242 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
243 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
244 . Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
245 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
246 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
249 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
250 Note:
251 . Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
253 Feature:
254 . Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
255 with bugs in roundup.init!
256 . Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
257 the tests.
258 . Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
260 Fixed:
261 . Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
262 signatures now too.
263 . Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
264 . Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
265 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
266 . Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
267 . Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
268 module name for the instances on import time.
271 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
272 Note:
273 . The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
274 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
276 Fixed:
277 . Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
278 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
281 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
282 Features:
283 . Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
284 should be linked somewhere.
285 . Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
286 . Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
287 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
288 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
289 cleanup the header up.
290 . Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
291 . Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
292 are displayed.
293 . Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
294 rebuild.
295 . Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
296 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
297 . Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
298 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
299 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
300 instructions, etc).
302 Fixed:
303 . Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
304 . Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
305 . Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
306 . Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
307 . 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
308 . mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
309 was creating nodes for.
310 . remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
311 . Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
312 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
313 names.
316 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
317 Big change:
318 . I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
319 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
320 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
321 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
322 code in "extended" either way.
324 Features:
325 . Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
326 we do anything distutils'y.
327 . Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
328 . Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
329 help and better command-line arg handling.
330 . The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
331 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
332 . Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
334 Fixed:
335 . One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
336 . Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
337 hard-coded to "issue".
338 . templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
339 . The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
340 properly.
341 . The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
342 nodeid) properly.
345 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
346 Features:
347 . Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
348 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
349 . Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
350 tests for multipart splitting.
351 . Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
352 . Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
353 . Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
354 . Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
355 . Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
356 behaviour.
357 . Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
358 . Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
359 it).
361 Fixed:
362 . Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
363 . New issue form handles lack of note better now.
364 . HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
365 . Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
366 . Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
367 query elements.
368 . Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
369 changed now.
372 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
373 Features:
374 . Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
375 . Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
376 directory as "overview.html".
378 Fixes:
379 . Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
380 "html" directory in instance home.
381 . Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
382 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
383 There you go...
384 . Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
385 strict about such things.
387 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
388 Features:
389 . Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
390 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
391 back-ends.
392 . Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
393 out-of-the-box
394 . Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
395 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
396 . Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
397 . Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
398 out-of-the-box.
399 . Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
400 . Added some unit tests.
402 Fixes:
403 . Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
404 . Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
405 . Fixed adding new issue with no change note
406 . Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
407 quoted.
408 . Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
409 message.
411 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
412 . Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
413 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
414 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
415 . Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
416 . Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
417 . Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
418 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
419 . Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
420 . Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
421 . Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
422 columns to sort by to 2.
423 . Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
424 ^text - search for text at start of fields
425 text$ - search for text at end of fields
426 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
427 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
428 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
429 . Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
432 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
433 . Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
434 the priority column isn't displayed.
435 . Thanks Anthony:
436 . added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
437 . added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
438 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
439 . python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
440 . better handling of db directory in initDB
441 . Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
442 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
443 properties, etc.
444 . Set the default index to sort on activity
447 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
448 . Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
449 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
451 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
452 . Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
453 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
454 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
455 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
