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-?? - 0.4.0??
5 Feature:
6 . much nicer history display (actualy real handling of property types etc)
7 . journal entries for link and mutlilink properties can be switched on or
8 off
9 . properties in change note are now sorted
10 . the mail gateway now responds with an error message when invalid values
11 for arguments are specified for link or mutlilink properties.
12 . modified unit test to check nosy and assignedto when specified as
13 arguments
15 Fixed:
16 . handle attachments with no name (eg tnef)
17 . fixed setting nosy as argument in subject line
20 2002-01-16 - 0.4.0b2
21 Fixed:
22 . #495392 ] empty nosy -patch
23 . #500574 ] messageid must have format <part1@part2>
24 . fixed some problems with web editing and change detection
25 . mail splitting wasn't detecting responses in the same "section" as quoted
26 text
27 . missed a "from i18n import _" in date.py
28 . #501690 ] MIGRATION.txt incomplete
29 . #502342 ] pipe interface
30 . #502437 ] rogue reactor and unittest
31 . re-enabled dumbdbm when using python >2.1.1 (ie 2.1.2, 2.2)
32 . changed all config accesses so they access either the instance or the
33 config attriubute on the db. This means that all config is obtained from
34 instance_config instead of the mish-mash of classes. This will make
35 switching to a ConfigParser setup easier too, I hope.
36 . #502951 ] adding new properties to old database
37 . #502953 ] nosy-like treatment of other multilinks
38 . #503164 ] create and passwords
39 . plain rendering of links in the htmltemplate now generate a hyperlink to
40 the linked node's page.
41 . #503330 ] ANONYMOUS_REGISTER now applies to mail
42 . #503353 ] setting properties in initial email
43 . #502956 ] filtering by multilink not supported
44 . #503340 ] creating issue with [asignedto=p.ohly]
45 . #502949 ] index view for non-issues and redisplay
46 . #503793 ] changing assignedto resets nosy list
47 . lots of date/interval related changes:
48 - more relaxed date format for input
49 - handle None for date/interval properties
52 2002-01-08 - 0.4.0b1
53 Feature:
54 . Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
55 the instance.
56 . Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
57 signature info in e-mails.
58 . Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
59 . Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
60 . Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
61 . We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
62 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
63 bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
64 lot more work anyway...
65 - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
66 single transaction
67 - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
68 if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
69 during the session (up to the last commit).
70 . Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
71 . Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
72 (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
73 . Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
74 . Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
75 needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
76 . much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
77 . #496356 ] Use threading in messages
78 This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
79 using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
80 feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
82 Fixed:
83 . Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
84 . login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
85 . Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
86 gateway.
87 . Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
88 on a failure)
89 . We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
90 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
91 . #487480 ] roundup-server
92 . #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
93 . #489760 ] [issue] only subject
94 . fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
95 . fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
96 . web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
97 . we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
98 this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
99 cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
100 . envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
101 delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
102 . #495400 ] entering blanks
103 Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
104 for details.
105 . #496360 ] table width does not work
106 . detectors were being registered multiple times
107 . added tests for mailgw
110 2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
111 Feature:
112 . #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
113 . #473123 ] Change message generation for author
114 . MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
115 . Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
116 . Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
117 . "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
118 . roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
119 . roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
120 . roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
121 . users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
122 . incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
123 e-mail
124 . added a target version field to the extended issue schema
125 . added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
126 translatable messages
128 Fixed:
129 . Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
130 . 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
131 . Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
132 . roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
133 . Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
134 . Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
135 . bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
136 . bug #474749 ] indentations lost
137 . bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
138 . bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
139 . bug #477687 ] conforming html
140 . bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
141 . bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
142 . bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
143 . bug #477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
144 . newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
145 . bug #479511 ] mailgw to pop
146 . bug #479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
147 . bad error report in hyperdb
148 . roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
149 of processing
150 . roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
151 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
152 an error message to the roundup admin.
153 . fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
154 . errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
155 squashed)
156 . re-open the database as the author in mail handling
157 . missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
160 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
161 Feature:
162 . MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
163 . feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
164 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
165 information is displayed.
166 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
167 . Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
168 . Tabular display of nodes.
169 . Import and export via colon-separated files.
171 Changed:
172 . re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
173 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
175 Fixed:
176 . Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
177 . CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
178 . Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
179 . Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
180 . Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
181 . Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
182 . Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
183 . bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
184 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
185 . bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
186 as numbers now.
187 . bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
188 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
189 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
190 . bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
191 . bug #473126: Sender unknown
192 . bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
195 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
196 Fixed:
197 . Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
198 property values. This broke a lot of things.
201 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
202 Feature:
203 . roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
204 on the command-line.
205 . hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
206 properties.
207 . CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
209 Changed:
210 . Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
211 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
212 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
213 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
214 . The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
215 . The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
216 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
217 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
218 . Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
219 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
220 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
221 number of encoding systems.
222 . The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
223 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
224 documentation for details.)
226 Fixed:
227 . Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
228 Ping - has been removed.
229 . Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
230 . Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
231 . AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
232 . Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
233 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
234 . Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
235 an item now throws an exception.
236 . The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
237 . Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
241 --------------
243 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
244 Fixed:
245 . Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
246 . Missing import in mailgw.
249 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
250 Feature:
251 . Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
252 regular expressions now.
254 Fixed:
255 . Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
256 . Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
257 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
258 . Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
259 . Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
260 that the change note message is actually genrated.
261 . CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
262 . Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
263 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
264 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
265 . Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
266 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
267 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
270 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
271 Note:
272 . Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
274 Feature:
275 . Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
276 with bugs in roundup.init!
277 . Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
278 the tests.
279 . Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
281 Fixed:
282 . Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
283 signatures now too.
284 . Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
285 . Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
286 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
287 . Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
288 . Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
289 module name for the instances on import time.
292 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
293 Note:
294 . The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
295 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
297 Fixed:
298 . Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
299 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
302 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
303 Features:
304 . Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
305 should be linked somewhere.
306 . Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
307 . Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
308 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
309 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
310 cleanup the header up.
311 . Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
312 . Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
313 are displayed.
314 . Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
315 rebuild.
316 . Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
317 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
318 . Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
319 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
320 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
321 instructions, etc).
323 Fixed:
324 . Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
325 . Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
326 . Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
327 . Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
328 . 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
329 . mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
330 was creating nodes for.
331 . remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
332 . Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
333 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
334 names.
337 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
338 Big change:
339 . I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
340 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
341 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
342 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
343 code in "extended" either way.
345 Features:
346 . Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
347 we do anything distutils'y.
348 . Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
349 . Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
350 help and better command-line arg handling.
351 . The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
352 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
353 . Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
355 Fixed:
356 . One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
357 . Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
358 hard-coded to "issue".
359 . templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
360 . The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
361 properly.
362 . The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
363 nodeid) properly.
366 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
367 Features:
368 . Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
369 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
370 . Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
371 tests for multipart splitting.
372 . Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
373 . Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
374 . Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
375 . Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
376 . Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
377 behaviour.
378 . Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
379 . Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
380 it).
382 Fixed:
383 . Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
384 . New issue form handles lack of note better now.
385 . HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
386 . Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
387 . Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
388 query elements.
389 . Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
390 changed now.
393 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
394 Features:
395 . Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
396 . Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
397 directory as "overview.html".
399 Fixes:
400 . Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
401 "html" directory in instance home.
402 . Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
403 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
404 There you go...
405 . Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
406 strict about such things.
408 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
409 Features:
410 . Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
411 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
412 back-ends.
413 . Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
414 out-of-the-box
415 . Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
416 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
417 . Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
418 . Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
419 out-of-the-box.
420 . Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
421 . Added some unit tests.
423 Fixes:
424 . Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
425 . Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
426 . Fixed adding new issue with no change note
427 . Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
428 quoted.
429 . Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
430 message.
432 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
433 . Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
434 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
435 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
436 . Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
437 . Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
438 . Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
439 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
440 . Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
441 . Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
442 . Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
443 columns to sort by to 2.
444 . Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
445 ^text - search for text at start of fields
446 text$ - search for text at end of fields
447 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
448 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
449 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
450 . Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
453 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
454 . Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
455 the priority column isn't displayed.
456 . Thanks Anthony:
457 . added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
458 . added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
459 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
460 . python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
461 . better handling of db directory in initDB
462 . Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
463 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
464 properties, etc.
465 . Set the default index to sort on activity
468 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
469 . Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
470 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
472 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
473 . Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
474 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
475 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
476 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
