32 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
33 Feature:
34 . MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
35 . feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
36 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
37 information is displayed.
38 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
39 . Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
40 . Tabular display of nodes.
41 . Import and export via colon-separated files.
43 Changed:
44 . re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
45 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
47 Fixed:
48 . Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
49 . CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
50 . Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
51 . Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
52 . Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
53 . Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
54 . Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
55 . bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
56 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
57 . bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
58 as numbers now.
59 . bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
60 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
61 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
62 . bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
63 . bug #473126: Sender unknown
64 . bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
67 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
68 Fixed:
69 . Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
70 property values. This broke a lot of things.
73 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
74 Feature:
75 . roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
76 on the command-line.
77 . hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
78 properties.
79 . CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
81 Changed:
82 . Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
83 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
84 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
85 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
86 . The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
87 . The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
88 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
89 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
90 . Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
91 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
92 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
93 number of encoding systems.
94 . The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
95 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
96 documentation for details.)
98 Fixed:
99 . Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
100 Ping - has been removed.
101 . Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
102 . Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
103 . AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
104 . Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
105 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
106 . Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
107 an item now throws an exception.
108 . The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
109 . Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
113 --------------
115 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
116 Fixed:
117 . Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
118 . Missing import in mailgw.
121 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
122 Feature:
123 . Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
124 regular expressions now.
126 Fixed:
127 . Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
128 . Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
129 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
130 . Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
131 . Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
132 that the change note message is actually genrated.
133 . CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
134 . Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
135 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
136 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
137 . Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
138 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
139 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
142 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
143 Note:
144 . Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
146 Feature:
147 . Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
148 with bugs in roundup.init!
149 . Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
150 the tests.
151 . Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
153 Fixed:
154 . Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
155 signatures now too.
156 . Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
157 . Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
158 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
159 . Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
160 . Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
161 module name for the instances on import time.
164 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
165 Note:
166 . The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
167 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
169 Fixed:
170 . Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
171 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
174 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
175 Features:
176 . Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
177 should be linked somewhere.
178 . Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
179 . Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
180 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
181 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
182 cleanup the header up.
183 . Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
184 . Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
185 are displayed.
186 . Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
187 rebuild.
188 . Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
189 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
190 . Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
191 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
192 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
193 instructions, etc).
195 Fixed:
196 . Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
197 . Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
198 . Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
199 . Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
200 . 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
201 . mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
202 was creating nodes for.
203 . remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
204 . Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
205 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
206 names.
209 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
210 Big change:
211 . I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
212 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
213 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
214 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
215 code in "extended" either way.
217 Features:
218 . Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
219 we do anything distutils'y.
220 . Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
221 . Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
222 help and better command-line arg handling.
223 . The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
224 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
225 . Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
227 Fixed:
228 . One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
229 . Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
230 hard-coded to "issue".
231 . templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
232 . The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
233 properly.
234 . The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
235 nodeid) properly.
238 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
239 Features:
240 . Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
241 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
242 . Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
243 tests for multipart splitting.
244 . Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
245 . Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
246 . Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
247 . Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
248 . Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
249 behaviour.
250 . Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
251 . Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
252 it).
254 Fixed:
255 . Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
256 . New issue form handles lack of note better now.
257 . HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
258 . Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
259 . Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
260 query elements.
261 . Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
262 changed now.
265 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
266 Features:
267 . Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
268 . Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
269 directory as "overview.html".
271 Fixes:
272 . Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
273 "html" directory in instance home.
274 . Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
275 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
276 There you go...
277 . Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
278 strict about such things.
280 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
281 Features:
282 . Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
283 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
284 back-ends.
285 . Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
286 out-of-the-box
287 . Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
288 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
289 . Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
290 . Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
291 out-of-the-box.
292 . Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
293 . Added some unit tests.
295 Fixes:
296 . Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
297 . Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
298 . Fixed adding new issue with no change note
299 . Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
300 quoted.
301 . Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
302 message.
304 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
305 . Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
306 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
307 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
308 . Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
309 . Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
310 . Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
311 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
312 . Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
313 . Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
314 . Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
315 columns to sort by to 2.
316 . Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
317 ^text - search for text at start of fields
318 text$ - search for text at end of fields
319 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
320 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
321 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
322 . Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
325 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
326 . Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
327 the priority column isn't displayed.
328 . Thanks Anthony:
329 . added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
330 . added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
331 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
332 . python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
333 . better handling of db directory in initDB
334 . Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
335 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
336 properties, etc.
337 . Set the default index to sort on activity
340 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
341 . Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
342 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
344 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
345 . Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
346 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
347 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
348 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
