5 Feature:
6 . #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
7 . #473123 ] Change message generation for author
8 . MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
9 . Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
10 . Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
11 . "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
12 . roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
13 . roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
14 . roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
15 . users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
16 . incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
17 e-mail
18 . added a target version field to the extended issue schema
19 . added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
20 translatable messages
22 Fixed:
23 . Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
24 . 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
25 . Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
26 . roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
27 . Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
28 . Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
29 . bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
30 . bug #474749 ] indentations lost
31 . bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
32 . bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
33 . bug #477687 ] conforming html
34 . bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
35 . bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks

42 . roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
43 of processing
44 . roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
45 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
46 an error message to the roundup admin.
47 . fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
48 . errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
49 squashed)
50 . re-open the database as the author in mail handling
51 . missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
54 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
55 Feature:
56 . MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
57 . feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
58 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
59 information is displayed.
60 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
61 . Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
62 . Tabular display of nodes.
63 . Import and export via colon-separated files.
65 Changed:
66 . re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
67 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
69 Fixed:
70 . Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
71 . CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
72 . Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
73 . Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
74 . Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
75 . Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
76 . Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
77 . bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
78 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
79 . bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
80 as numbers now.
81 . bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
82 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
83 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
84 . bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
85 . bug #473126: Sender unknown
86 . bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
89 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
90 Fixed:
91 . Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
92 property values. This broke a lot of things.
95 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
96 Feature:
97 . roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
98 on the command-line.
99 . hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
100 properties.
101 . CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
103 Changed:
104 . Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
105 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
106 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
107 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
108 . The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
109 . The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
110 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
111 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
112 . Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
113 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
114 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
115 number of encoding systems.
116 . The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
117 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
118 documentation for details.)
120 Fixed:
121 . Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
122 Ping - has been removed.
123 . Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
124 . Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
125 . AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
126 . Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
127 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
128 . Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
129 an item now throws an exception.
130 . The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
131 . Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
135 --------------
137 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
138 Fixed:
139 . Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
140 . Missing import in mailgw.
143 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
144 Feature:
145 . Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
146 regular expressions now.
148 Fixed:
149 . Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
150 . Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
151 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
152 . Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
153 . Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
154 that the change note message is actually genrated.
155 . CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
156 . Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
157 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
158 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
159 . Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
160 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
161 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
164 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
165 Note:
166 . Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
168 Feature:
169 . Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
170 with bugs in roundup.init!
171 . Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
172 the tests.
173 . Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
175 Fixed:
176 . Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
177 signatures now too.
178 . Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
179 . Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
180 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
181 . Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
182 . Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
183 module name for the instances on import time.
186 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
187 Note:
188 . The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
189 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
191 Fixed:
192 . Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
193 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
196 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
197 Features:
198 . Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
199 should be linked somewhere.
200 . Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
201 . Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
202 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
203 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
204 cleanup the header up.
205 . Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
206 . Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
207 are displayed.
208 . Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
209 rebuild.
210 . Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
211 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
212 . Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
213 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
214 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
215 instructions, etc).
217 Fixed:
218 . Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
219 . Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
220 . Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
221 . Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
222 . 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
223 . mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
224 was creating nodes for.
225 . remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
226 . Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
227 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
228 names.
231 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
232 Big change:
233 . I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
234 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
235 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
236 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
237 code in "extended" either way.
239 Features:
240 . Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
241 we do anything distutils'y.
242 . Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
243 . Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
244 help and better command-line arg handling.
245 . The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
246 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
247 . Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
249 Fixed:
250 . One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
251 . Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
252 hard-coded to "issue".
253 . templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
254 . The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
255 properly.
256 . The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
257 nodeid) properly.
260 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
261 Features:
262 . Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
263 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
264 . Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
265 tests for multipart splitting.
266 . Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
267 . Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
268 . Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
269 . Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
270 . Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
271 behaviour.
272 . Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
273 . Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
274 it).
276 Fixed:
277 . Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
278 . New issue form handles lack of note better now.
279 . HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
280 . Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
281 . Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
282 query elements.
283 . Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
284 changed now.
287 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
288 Features:
289 . Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
290 . Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
291 directory as "overview.html".
293 Fixes:
294 . Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
295 "html" directory in instance home.
296 . Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
297 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
298 There you go...
299 . Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
300 strict about such things.
302 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
303 Features:
304 . Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
305 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
306 back-ends.
307 . Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
308 out-of-the-box
309 . Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
310 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
311 . Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
312 . Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
313 out-of-the-box.
314 . Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
315 . Added some unit tests.
317 Fixes:
318 . Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
319 . Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
320 . Fixed adding new issue with no change note
321 . Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
322 quoted.
323 . Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
324 message.
326 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
327 . Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
328 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
329 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
330 . Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
331 . Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
332 . Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
333 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
334 . Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
335 . Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
336 . Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
337 columns to sort by to 2.
338 . Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
339 ^text - search for text at start of fields
340 text$ - search for text at end of fields
341 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
342 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
343 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
344 . Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
347 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
348 . Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
349 the priority column isn't displayed.
350 . Thanks Anthony:
351 . added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
352 . added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
353 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
354 . python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
355 . better handling of db directory in initDB
356 . Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
357 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
358 properties, etc.
359 . Set the default index to sort on activity
362 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
363 . Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
364 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
366 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
367 . Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
368 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
369 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
370 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
