5 Feature:
6 - added the start/stop/restart/condstart/status roundup-server control
7 script
9 Fixed:
10 - handle non-existant demo dir (thanks Ollie Rutherfurd)
11 - strip whitespace from Role names so "User, Admin" will work
14 2003-05-09 0.6.0b1
15 Removed:
16 - having served its purpose as a template for other relational database
17 implementations, the gadfly backend has now been removed from the Roundup
18 distribution.

26 (thanks John Rouillard)
27 - applied patch for nicer history display (sf feature 638280)
28 - cleaning old unused sessions only once per hour, not on every cgi

37 - added a form to show a specific issue
38 - more proper sorting/grouping on mulitilink properties. Sorting is performed
39 not only by number of links, but also by links itself. This makes usable

267 - gadfly backend now handles changes to the schema - but only one property

279 - many performance improvements in *dbm and sql backends

324 - #576086 ] dumb copying mistake (frontends/ZRoundup.py)

332 - instance __init__ no longer silently traps dbinit import errors
334 Feature:
335 - new backend for metakit (thanks Gordon McMillan)
336 - new backend for gadfly (it's as done as it's going to get)
337 - further split the dbm backends from the core code, allowing easier
338 non-dict-like backends (eg metakit, RDB)
339 - implemented and used the new access control mechanisms (Permissions, Roles)
340 (see doc/security.txt)

359 - have roundup.cgi pick up tracker config from the environment
360 - revamped look and feel in web interface
361 - cleaned up stylesheet usage
362 - several bug fixes and documentation fixes
363 - added is_retired test to hyperdb.Class
364 - added capability to save queries:
365 - a query Class with name, klass (to search) and url (query string)
366 properties
367 - a Multilink to query on user called queries
368 - html templates for query, and a list of queries in user.item
369 - search form has Save button & name input
370 - saved queries put in menu in pagehead
371 - for migration, none of the above is required and old behavior preserved.
372 - showquery translates search form <-> query string
373 - cleaned up the indexer code:
374 - it splits more words out
375 - removed code we'll never use (roundup.roundup_indexer has the full
376 implementation, and replaces roundup.indexer)
377 - only index text/plain and rfc822/message (ideas for other text formats to
378 index are welcome)
379 - added simple unit test for indexer. Needs more tests for regression.
380 - all String properties may now be indexed too. Currently there's a bit of
381 "issue" specific code in the actual searching which needs to be
382 addressed. In a nutshell:
383 + pass 'indexme="yes"' as a String() property initialisation arg, eg:
384 file = FileClass(db, "file", name=String(), type=String(),
385 comment=String(indexme="yes"))
386 + the comment will then be indexed and be searchable, with the results
387 related back to the issue that the file is linked to
388 - as a result of this work, the FileClass has a default MIME type that may
389 be overridden in a subclass, or by the use of a "type" property as is
390 done in the default templates.
391 - the regeneration of the indexes (if necessary) is done once the schema is
392 set up in the dbinit.
393 - new "reindex" command in roundup-admin used to force regeneration of the
394 index
395 - added email display function - mangles email addrs so they're not so easily
396 scraped from the web
397 - switched to using a session-based web login
398 - made mailgw handle set and modify operations on multilinks (bug #579094)
399 - fixed the journal bloat from multilink changes - we just log the add or
400 remove operations, not the whole list
403 2002-06-24 0.4.2
404 Fixed:
405 - Cleaned up the hyperdb unit tests.
406 - Applied patch from Andrew W. Nosenko to give nicer Unauthorised message
407 when anonymous user tries to edit. Should've been applied in 0.4.2pr1. Oops.
408 - Added more detailed note to MIGRATION regarding the detectors changes.
411 2002-06-19 0.4.2pr1
412 Feature:
413 - added a "detectors" directory for people to put their useful auditors and
414 reactors in. Note - the roundupdb.IssueClass.sendmessage method has been
415 split and renamed "nosymessage" specifically for things like the nosy
416 reactor, and "send_message" which just sends the message.
417 - link() htmltemplate function now has a "showid" option for links and
418 multilinks. When true, it only displays the linked node id as the anchor
419 text. The link value is displayed as a tooltip using the title anchor
420 attribute.
421 To use in eg. the superseder field, have something like this:
422 <td>
423 <display call="field('superseder', showid=1)">
424 <display call="classhelp('issue', 'id,title', label='list', width=500)">
425 <property name="superseder">
426 <br>View: <display call="link('superseder', showid=1)">
427 </property>
428 </td>
429 - stripping of the email message body can now be controlled through the
430 config variables EMAIL_KEEP_QUOTED_TEXT and EMAIL_LEAVE_BODY_UNCHANGED.
431 - all database files created are now group readable and writable.
432 - added option to automatically add the authors and recipients of messages
433 to the nosy lists with the options ADD_AUTHOR_TO_NOSY (default 'new') and
434 ADD_RECIPIENTS_TO_NOSY (default 'new'). These settings emulate the current
435 behaviour. Setting them to 'yes' will add the author/recipients to the nosy
436 on messages that create issues and followup messages.
437 - reverting to dates for intervals > 2 months sucks
438 - changed the default message list in issues to display the message body
439 - applied patch #558876 ] cgi client customization
440 - split instance initialisation into two steps, allowing config changes
441 before the database is initialised.
442 - don't create an empty message on email issue creation if the email is empty
443 - may now display additional fields in Multilink form menus
444 - #541941 ] changing multilink properties by mail
445 - #526730 ] search for messages capability
446 - #505180 ] split MailGW.handle_Message
447 - also changed cgi client since it was duplicating the functionality
449 Fixed:
450 - stop sending blank (whitespace-only) notes
451 - cleanup of serialisation for database storage
452 - node ids are now generated from a lockable store - no more race conditions
453 - sorting was applied to all nodes of the MultiLink class instead of
454 to the nodes that are actually linked to in the "field" template
455 function. This adds about 20+ seconds in the display of an issue if
456 your database has a 1000 or more issues in it.
457 - added missing documentation for a few of the config option values
458 - file upload broke if you didn't supply a change note
459 - fixed SCRIPT_NAME in ZRoundup for instances not at top level of Zope
460 (thanks dman)
461 - fixed some sorting issues that were breaking some unit tests under py2.2
462 - mailgw test output dir was confusing the init test (but only on 2.2 *shrug*)
463 - node caching now works, and gives a small boost in performance
464 - #449374 ] re-enable bsddb3 backend
465 bsddb3 backend now works, reinstating
466 - #551483 ] assignedto in Client.make_index_link
467 - made backends.__init__ be more specific about which ImportErrors it really
468 wants to ignore
469 - fixed the example addresses in the templates to use correct example domains
470 - cleaned out the template stylesheets, removing a bunch of junk that really
471 wasn't necessary (font specs, styles never used) and added a style for
472 message content
473 - build htmlbase if tests are run using CVS checkout
474 - #565979 ] code error in hyperdb.Class.find
475 - #565996 ] The "Attach a File to this Issue" fails
476 - #564271 ] find() and new properties
477 - #562130 ] cookie path generated from ZRoundup was wrong in some situations
478 - remove CR characters embedded in messages (ZRoundup)
479 - properly quote the email address and "real name" in all situations using the
480 'email' module if it is available and 'rfc822' otherwise
481 - #565992 ] if ISSUE_TRACKER_WEB doesn't have the trailing '/', add it
482 - use the rfc822 module to ensure that every (oddball) email address and
483 real-name is properly quoted
484 - #558867 ] ZRoundup redirect /instance requests to /instance/
485 - #569415 ] {version}
486 - #569178 ] type error
487 was fixed as part of the general cleanup of reactors
490 2002-03-25 - 0.4.1
491 Feature:
492 - use blobfiles in back_anydbm which is used in back_bsddb.
493 change test_db as dirlist does not work for subdirectories.
494 ATTENTION: blobfiles now creates subdirectories for files.
495 - add module blobfiles in backends with file access functions.
496 - roundup db catch only IOError in getfile.
497 - roundup db catches retrieving not existing files.
498 - #503204 ] mailgw needs a default class
499 - partially done - the setting of additional properties can wait for a
500 better configuration system.
501 - Alternate email addresses are now available for users. See the MIGRATION
502 file for info on how to activate the feature.
503 - #511168 ] Web interface: Adding new products
504 Classes that don't provide template html get a default edit interface now:
505 - access using the admin "class list" interface
506 - limited to admin-only
507 - requires the csv module from object-craft (url given if it's missing)
508 - Added popup help for classes using the classhelp html template function.
509 - add <display call="classhelp('priority', 'id,name,description')">
510 to an item page, and it generates a link to a popup window which displays
511 the id, name and description for the priority class. The description
512 field won't exist in most installations, but it will be added to the
513 default templates.
514 - #517734 ] web header customisation is obscure
515 - All messages sent to the nosy list are now encoded as
516 quoted-printable before they are sent.
517 - Fixed display of mutlilink properties when using the template
518 functions, menu and plain.
520 Fixed:
521 - Clean up mail handling, multipart handling.
522 - respect encodings in non multipart messages.
523 - makeHtmlBase: re.sub under python 2.2 did not replace '.', string.replace
524 does it.
525 - preamble in tepmlateBuilder mentioned htmldata
526 - mailgw checks encoding on first part too.
527 - #511586 ] unittest FAIL: testReldate_date
528 - Added a uniquely Roundup header to email, "X-Roundup-Name"
529 - All forms now have "double-submit" protection when Javascript is enabled
530 on the client-side.
531 - #516883 ] mail interface + ANONYMOUS_REGISTER
532 - #516854 ] "My Issues" and redisplay
533 - #517906 ] Attribute order in "View customisation"
534 - #514854 ] History: "User" is always ticket creator
535 - wasn't handling cvs parser feeding correctly
536 - fixed some problems in date calculations (calendar.py doesn't handle over-
537 and under-flow). Also, hour/minute/second intervals may now be more than
538 99 each.
539 - #527416 ] roundup-admin uses undefined value
540 - #527503 ] unfriendly init blowup when parent dir
541 (also handles UsageError correctly now in init)
542 - #524129 ] roundup-admin gets python path wrong
545 2002-01-24 - 0.4.0
546 Feature:
547 - much nicer history display (actualy real handling of property types etc)
548 - journal entries for link and mutlilink properties can be switched on or
549 off
550 - properties in change note are now sorted
551 - you can now use the roundup-admin tool pack the database
553 Fixed:
554 - the mail gateway now responds with an error message when invalid values
555 for arguments are specified for link or mutlilink properties
556 - modified unit test to check nosy and assignedto when specified as arguments
557 - handle attachments with no name (eg tnef)
558 - fixed setting nosy as argument in subject line
559 - fixed back_bsddb so it passed the journal tests
560 - fixed status changes in mail gateway (eg. unread -> chatting)
561 - we'll actually distribute the frontends directory now, as advertised...
562 - handle stripping of "AW:" from subject line
563 - htmltemplate list() wasn't sorting...
564 - unit tests for html templating (and re-enabled the listbox field for
565 multilinks)
566 - allow abbreviation of "help" in admin tool too.
567 - run_tests testReldate_date failed if LANG is 'german'
568 - mailgw failures (unexpected ones) are forwarded to the roundup admin
571 2002-01-16 - 0.4.0b2
572 Fixed:
573 - #495392 ] empty nosy -patch
574 - #500574 ] messageid must have format <part1@part2>
575 - fixed some problems with web editing and change detection
576 - mail splitting wasn't detecting responses in the same "section" as quoted
577 text
578 - missed a "from i18n import _" in date.py
579 - #501690 ] MIGRATION.txt incomplete
580 - #502342 ] pipe interface
581 - #502437 ] rogue reactor and unittest
582 - re-enabled dumbdbm when using python >2.1.1 (ie 2.1.2, 2.2)
583 - changed all config accesses so they access either the instance or the
584 config attriubute on the db. This means that all config is obtained from
585 instance_config instead of the mish-mash of classes. This will make
586 switching to a ConfigParser setup easier too, I hope.
587 - #502951 ] adding new properties to old database
588 - #502953 ] nosy-like treatment of other multilinks
589 - #503164 ] create and passwords
590 - plain rendering of links in the htmltemplate now generate a hyperlink to
591 the linked node's page.
592 - #503330 ] ANONYMOUS_REGISTER now applies to mail
593 - #503353 ] setting properties in initial email
594 - #502956 ] filtering by multilink not supported
595 - #503340 ] creating issue with [asignedto=p.ohly]
596 - #502949 ] index view for non-issues and redisplay
597 - #503793 ] changing assignedto resets nosy list
598 - lots of date/interval related changes:
599 - more relaxed date format for input
600 - handle None for date/interval properties
603 2002-01-08 - 0.4.0b1
604 Feature:
605 - Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
606 the instance.
607 - Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
608 signature info in e-mails.
609 - Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
610 - Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
611 - Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
612 - We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
613 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
614 bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
615 lot more work anyway...
616 - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
617 single transaction
618 - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
619 if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
620 during the session (up to the last commit).
621 - Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
622 - Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
623 (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
624 - Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
625 - Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
626 needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
627 - much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
628 - #496356 ] Use threading in messages
629 This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
630 using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
631 feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
633 Fixed:
634 - Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
635 - login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
636 - Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
637 gateway.
638 - Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
639 on a failure)
640 - We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
641 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
642 - #487480 ] roundup-server
643 - #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
644 - #489760 ] [issue] only subject
645 - fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
646 - fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
647 - web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
648 - we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
649 this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
650 cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
651 - envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
652 delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
653 - #495400 ] entering blanks
654 Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
655 for details.
656 - #496360 ] table width does not work
657 - detectors were being registered multiple times
658 - added tests for mailgw
661 2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
662 Feature:
663 - #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
664 - #473123 ] Change message generation for author
665 - MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
666 - Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
667 - Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
668 - "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
669 - roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
670 - roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
671 - roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
672 - users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
673 - incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
674 e-mail
675 - added a target version field to the extended issue schema
676 - added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
677 translatable messages
679 Fixed:
680 - Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
681 - 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
682 - Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
683 - roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
684 - Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
685 - Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
686 - bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
687 - bug #474749 ] indentations lost
688 - bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
689 - bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
690 - bug #477687 ] conforming html
691 - bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
692 - bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
693 - bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
694 - bug #477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
695 - newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
696 - bug #479511 ] mailgw to pop
697 - bug #479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
698 - bad error report in hyperdb
699 - roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
700 of processing
701 - roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
702 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
703 an error message to the roundup admin.
704 - fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
705 - errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
706 squashed)
707 - re-open the database as the author in mail handling
708 - missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
711 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
712 Feature:
713 - MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
714 - feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
715 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
716 information is displayed.
717 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
718 - Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
719 - Tabular display of nodes.
720 - Import and export via colon-separated files.
722 Changed:
723 - re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
724 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
726 Fixed:
727 - Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
728 - CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
729 - Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
730 - Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
731 - Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
732 - Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
733 - Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
734 - bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
735 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
736 - bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
737 as numbers now.
738 - bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
739 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
740 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
741 - bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
742 - bug #473126: Sender unknown
743 - bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
746 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
747 Fixed:
748 - Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
749 property values. This broke a lot of things.
752 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
753 Feature:
754 - roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
755 on the command-line.
756 - hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
757 properties.
758 - CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
760 Changed:
761 - Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
762 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
763 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
764 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
765 - The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
766 - The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
767 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
768 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
769 - Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
770 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
771 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
772 number of encoding systems.
773 - The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
774 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
775 documentation for details.)
777 Fixed:
778 - Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
779 Ping - has been removed.
780 - Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
781 - Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
782 - AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
783 - Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
784 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
785 - Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
786 an item now throws an exception.
787 - The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
788 - Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
792 --------------
794 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
795 Fixed:
796 - Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
797 - Missing import in mailgw.
800 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
801 Feature:
802 - Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
803 regular expressions now.
805 Fixed:
806 - Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
807 - Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
808 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
809 - Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
810 - Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
811 that the change note message is actually genrated.
812 - CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
813 - Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
814 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
815 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
816 - Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
817 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
818 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
821 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
822 Note:
823 - Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
825 Feature:
826 - Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
827 with bugs in roundup.init!
828 - Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
829 the tests.
830 - Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
832 Fixed:
833 - Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
834 signatures now too.
835 - Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
836 - Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
837 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
838 - Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
839 - Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
840 module name for the instances on import time.
843 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
844 Note:
845 - The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
846 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
848 Fixed:
849 - Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
850 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
853 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
854 Features:
855 - Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
856 should be linked somewhere.
857 - Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
858 - Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
859 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
860 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
861 cleanup the header up.
862 - Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
863 - Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
864 are displayed.
865 - Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
866 rebuild.
867 - Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
868 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
869 - Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
870 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
871 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
872 instructions, etc).
874 Fixed:
875 - Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
876 - Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
877 - Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
878 - Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
879 - 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
880 - mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
881 was creating nodes for.
882 - remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
883 - Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
884 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
885 names.
888 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
889 Big change:
890 - I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
891 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
892 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
893 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
894 code in "extended" either way.
896 Features:
897 - Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
898 we do anything distutils'y.
899 - Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
900 - Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
901 help and better command-line arg handling.
902 - The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
903 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
904 - Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
906 Fixed:
907 - One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
908 - Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
909 hard-coded to "issue".
910 - templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
911 - The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
912 properly.
913 - The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
914 nodeid) properly.
917 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
918 Features:
919 - Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
920 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
921 - Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
922 tests for multipart splitting.
923 - Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
924 - Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
925 - Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
926 - Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
927 - Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
928 behaviour.
929 - Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
930 - Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
931 it).
933 Fixed:
934 - Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
935 - New issue form handles lack of note better now.
936 - HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
937 - Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
938 - Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
939 query elements.
940 - Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
941 changed now.
944 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
945 Features:
946 - Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
947 - Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
948 directory as "overview.html".
950 Fixes:
951 - Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
952 "html" directory in instance home.
953 - Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
954 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
955 There you go...
956 - Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
957 strict about such things.
959 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
960 Features:
961 - Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
962 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
963 back-ends.
964 - Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
965 out-of-the-box
966 - Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
967 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
968 - Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
969 - Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
970 out-of-the-box.
971 - Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
972 - Added some unit tests.
974 Fixes:
975 - Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
976 - Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
977 - Fixed adding new issue with no change note
978 - Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
979 quoted.
980 - Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
981 message.
983 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
984 - Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
985 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
986 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
987 - Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
988 - Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
989 - Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
990 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
991 - Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
992 - Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
993 - Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
994 columns to sort by to 2.
995 - Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
996 ^text - search for text at start of fields
997 text$ - search for text at end of fields
998 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
999 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
1000 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
1001 - Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
1004 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
1005 - Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
1006 the priority column isn't displayed.
1007 - Thanks Anthony:
1008 - added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
1009 - added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
1010 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
1011 - python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
1012 - better handling of db directory in initDB
1013 - Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
1014 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
1015 properties, etc.
1016 - Set the default index to sort on activity
1019 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
1020 - Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
1021 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
1023 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
1024 - Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
1025 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
1026 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
1027 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
