1 This file contains the changes to the Roundup system over time. The entries
2 are given with the most recent entry first.
4 2002-09-?? 0.5.0 ????
5 - handling of None for Date/Interval/Password values in export/import
6 - handling of journal values in export/import
7 - password edit now has a confirmation field
8 - registration error punts back to register page
9 - gadfly backend now handles changes to the schema - but only one property
10 at a time
11 - cgi.client base URL is now obtained from the config TRACKER_WEB
12 - request.url has gone away - there's too much magic in trying to figure
13 what it should be
14 - cgi-bin script redirects to https now if the request was https
15 - FileClass "content" property wasn't being returned by getprops() in most
16 backends
17 - we now verify instance attributes on instance open and throw a useful error
18 if they're not all there
19 - sf 611217 ] menu() has problems when labelprop==None
20 - verify contents of tracker module when the tracker is opened
21 - performance improvements in *dbm and sq backends
23 2002-09-13 0.5.0 beta2
24 . all backends now have a .close() method, and it's used everywhere
25 . fixed bug in detectors __init__
26 . switched the default issue item display to only show issue summary
27 (added instructions to doc to make it display entire content)
28 . MANIFEST.in was missing a lot of template files
29 . added generic item editing
30 . much nicer layout of template rendering errors
31 . added context/is_edit_ok and context/is_view_ok convenience methods and
32 implemented use of them in the classic template
35 2002-09-11 0.5.0 beta1
36 Fixed:
37 . #576086 ] dumb copying mistake (frontends/ZRoundup.py)
38 . installation instructions now mention "python2" in "testing your python".
39 . made the unit tests run again - they were quite b0rken
40 . #571170 ] gdbm deadlock
41 . #576241 ] MultiLink problems in parsePropsFromForm
42 . fixed the date module so that Date(". - 2d") works
43 . web forms may now unset Link values (like assignedto)
44 . cleanup: moved roundup.templatebuilder to roundup.templates.builder
45 . instance __init__ no longer silently traps dbinit import errors
47 Feature:
48 . new backend for metakit (thanks Gordon McMillan)
49 . new backend for gadfly (it's as done as it's going to get)
50 . further split the dbm backends from the core code, allowing easier
51 non-dict-like backends (eg metakit, RDB)
52 . implemented and used the new access control mechanisms (Permissions, Roles)
53 (see doc/security.txt)
54 . switched templating to use Zope's PageTemplates (yay!)
55 . switched to sessions for web authentication
56 . added Boolean and Number types
57 . fixed the journal bloat
58 . updated design document for new access controls
59 . updated customisation document, including more examples
60 . entire database export and import (incl files)
61 . better mailgw help message (feature request #558562)
62 . re-enabled link backrefs from messages (feature request #568714)
63 . the page layout is now templatable
64 . re-worked cgi interface to abstract out the explicit "issue" interface
65 . have index page handle mid-page errors better so header and footer are
66 still visible
67 . we handle "not found", access and item page render errors better
68 . fixed double-submit by having new-item-submit redirect at end
69 . daemonify roundup-server (fork, logfile, pidfile)
70 . modify cgitb to display PageTemplate errors better
71 . rename to "instance" to "tracker"
72 . have roundup.cgi pick up tracker config from the environment
73 . revamped look and feel in web interface
74 . cleaned up stylesheet usage
75 . several bug fixes and documentation fixes
76 . added is_retired test to hyperdb.Class
77 . added capability to save queries:
78 - a query Class with name, klass (to search) and url (query string)
79 properties
80 - a Multilink to query on user called queries
81 - html templates for query, and a list of queries in user.item
82 - search form has Save button & name input
83 - saved queries put in menu in pagehead
84 - for migration, none of the above is required and old behavior preserved.
85 - showquery translates search form <-> query string
86 . cleaned up the indexer code:
87 - it splits more words out
88 - removed code we'll never use (roundup.roundup_indexer has the full
89 implementation, and replaces roundup.indexer)
90 - only index text/plain and rfc822/message (ideas for other text formats to
91 index are welcome)
92 - added simple unit test for indexer. Needs more tests for regression.
93 - all String properties may now be indexed too. Currently there's a bit of
94 "issue" specific code in the actual searching which needs to be
95 addressed. In a nutshell:
96 + pass 'indexme="yes"' as a String() property initialisation arg, eg:
97 file = FileClass(db, "file", name=String(), type=String(),
98 comment=String(indexme="yes"))
99 + the comment will then be indexed and be searchable, with the results
100 related back to the issue that the file is linked to
101 - as a result of this work, the FileClass has a default MIME type that may
102 be overridden in a subclass, or by the use of a "type" property as is
103 done in the default templates.
104 - the regeneration of the indexes (if necessary) is done once the schema is
105 set up in the dbinit.
106 - new "reindex" command in roundup-admin used to force regeneration of the
107 index
108 . added email display function - mangles email addrs so they're not so easily
109 scraped from the web
110 . switched to using a session-based web login
111 . made mailgw handle set and modify operations on multilinks (bug #579094)
112 . fixed the journal bloat from multilink changes - we just log the add or
113 remove operations, not the whole list
116 2002-06-24 0.4.2
117 Fixed:
118 . Cleaned up the hyperdb unit tests.
119 . Applied patch from Andrew W. Nosenko to give nicer Unauthorised message
120 when anonymous user tries to edit. Should've been applied in 0.4.2pr1. Oops.
121 . Added more detailed note to MIGRATION regarding the detectors changes.
124 2002-06-19 0.4.2pr1
125 Feature:
126 . added a "detectors" directory for people to put their useful auditors and
127 reactors in. Note - the roundupdb.IssueClass.sendmessage method has been
128 split and renamed "nosymessage" specifically for things like the nosy
129 reactor, and "send_message" which just sends the message.
130 . link() htmltemplate function now has a "showid" option for links and
131 multilinks. When true, it only displays the linked node id as the anchor
132 text. The link value is displayed as a tooltip using the title anchor
133 attribute.
134 To use in eg. the superseder field, have something like this:
135 <td>
136 <display call="field('superseder', showid=1)">
137 <display call="classhelp('issue', 'id,title', label='list', width=500)">
138 <property name="superseder">
139 <br>View: <display call="link('superseder', showid=1)">
140 </property>
141 </td>
142 . stripping of the email message body can now be controlled through the
143 config variables EMAIL_KEEP_QUOTED_TEXT and EMAIL_LEAVE_BODY_UNCHANGED.
144 . all database files created are now group readable and writable.
145 . added option to automatically add the authors and recipients of messages
146 to the nosy lists with the options ADD_AUTHOR_TO_NOSY (default 'new') and
147 ADD_RECIPIENTS_TO_NOSY (default 'new'). These settings emulate the current
148 behaviour. Setting them to 'yes' will add the author/recipients to the nosy
149 on messages that create issues and followup messages.
150 . reverting to dates for intervals > 2 months sucks
151 . changed the default message list in issues to display the message body
152 . applied patch #558876 ] cgi client customization
153 . split instance initialisation into two steps, allowing config changes
154 before the database is initialised.
155 . don't create an empty message on email issue creation if the email is empty
156 . may now display additional fields in Multilink form menus
157 . #541941 ] changing multilink properties by mail
158 . #526730 ] search for messages capability
159 . #505180 ] split MailGW.handle_Message
160 - also changed cgi client since it was duplicating the functionality
162 Fixed:
163 . stop sending blank (whitespace-only) notes
164 . cleanup of serialisation for database storage
165 . node ids are now generated from a lockable store - no more race conditions
166 . sorting was applied to all nodes of the MultiLink class instead of
167 to the nodes that are actually linked to in the "field" template
168 function. This adds about 20+ seconds in the display of an issue if
169 your database has a 1000 or more issues in it.
170 . added missing documentation for a few of the config option values
171 . file upload broke if you didn't supply a change note
172 . fixed SCRIPT_NAME in ZRoundup for instances not at top level of Zope
173 (thanks dman)
174 . fixed some sorting issues that were breaking some unit tests under py2.2
175 . mailgw test output dir was confusing the init test (but only on 2.2 *shrug*)
176 . node caching now works, and gives a small boost in performance
177 . #449374 ] re-enable bsddb3 backend
178 bsddb3 backend now works, reinstating
179 . #551483 ] assignedto in Client.make_index_link
180 . made backends.__init__ be more specific about which ImportErrors it really
181 wants to ignore
182 . fixed the example addresses in the templates to use correct example domains
183 . cleaned out the template stylesheets, removing a bunch of junk that really
184 wasn't necessary (font specs, styles never used) and added a style for
185 message content
186 . build htmlbase if tests are run using CVS checkout
187 . #565979 ] code error in hyperdb.Class.find
188 . #565996 ] The "Attach a File to this Issue" fails
189 . #564271 ] find() and new properties
190 . #562130 ] cookie path generated from ZRoundup was wrong in some situations
191 . remove CR characters embedded in messages (ZRoundup)
192 . properly quote the email address and "real name" in all situations using the
193 'email' module if it is available and 'rfc822' otherwise
194 . #565992 ] if ISSUE_TRACKER_WEB doesn't have the trailing '/', add it
195 . use the rfc822 module to ensure that every (oddball) email address and
196 real-name is properly quoted
197 . #558867 ] ZRoundup redirect /instance requests to /instance/
198 . #569415 ] {version}
199 . #569178 ] type error
200 was fixed as part of the general cleanup of reactors
203 2002-03-25 - 0.4.1
204 Feature:
205 . use blobfiles in back_anydbm which is used in back_bsddb.
206 change test_db as dirlist does not work for subdirectories.
207 ATTENTION: blobfiles now creates subdirectories for files.
208 . add module blobfiles in backends with file access functions.
209 . roundup db catch only IOError in getfile.
210 . roundup db catches retrieving not existing files.
211 . #503204 ] mailgw needs a default class
212 - partially done - the setting of additional properties can wait for a
213 better configuration system.
214 . Alternate email addresses are now available for users. See the MIGRATION
215 file for info on how to activate the feature.
216 . #511168 ] Web interface: Adding new products
217 Classes that don't provide template html get a default edit interface now:
218 - access using the admin "class list" interface
219 - limited to admin-only
220 - requires the csv module from object-craft (url given if it's missing)
221 . Added popup help for classes using the classhelp html template function.
222 - add <display call="classhelp('priority', 'id,name,description')">
223 to an item page, and it generates a link to a popup window which displays
224 the id, name and description for the priority class. The description
225 field won't exist in most installations, but it will be added to the
226 default templates.
227 . #517734 ] web header customisation is obscure
228 . All messages sent to the nosy list are now encoded as
229 quoted-printable before they are sent.
230 . Fixed display of mutlilink properties when using the template
231 functions, menu and plain.
233 Fixed:
234 . Clean up mail handling, multipart handling.
235 . respect encodings in non multipart messages.
236 . makeHtmlBase: re.sub under python 2.2 did not replace '.', string.replace
237 does it.
238 . preamble in tepmlateBuilder mentioned htmldata
239 . mailgw checks encoding on first part too.
240 . #511586 ] unittest FAIL: testReldate_date
241 . Added a uniquely Roundup header to email, "X-Roundup-Name"
242 . All forms now have "double-submit" protection when Javascript is enabled
243 on the client-side.
244 . #516883 ] mail interface + ANONYMOUS_REGISTER
245 . #516854 ] "My Issues" and redisplay
246 . #517906 ] Attribute order in "View customisation"
247 . #514854 ] History: "User" is always ticket creator
248 . wasn't handling cvs parser feeding correctly
249 . fixed some problems in date calculations (calendar.py doesn't handle over-
250 and under-flow). Also, hour/minute/second intervals may now be more than
251 99 each.
252 . #527416 ] roundup-admin uses undefined value
253 . #527503 ] unfriendly init blowup when parent dir
254 (also handles UsageError correctly now in init)
255 . #524129 ] roundup-admin gets python path wrong
258 2002-01-24 - 0.4.0
259 Feature:
260 . much nicer history display (actualy real handling of property types etc)
261 . journal entries for link and mutlilink properties can be switched on or
262 off
263 . properties in change note are now sorted
264 . you can now use the roundup-admin tool pack the database
266 Fixed:
267 . the mail gateway now responds with an error message when invalid values
268 for arguments are specified for link or mutlilink properties
269 . modified unit test to check nosy and assignedto when specified as arguments
270 . handle attachments with no name (eg tnef)
271 . fixed setting nosy as argument in subject line
272 . fixed back_bsddb so it passed the journal tests
273 . fixed status changes in mail gateway (eg. unread -> chatting)
274 . we'll actually distribute the frontends directory now, as advertised...
275 . handle stripping of "AW:" from subject line
276 . htmltemplate list() wasn't sorting...
277 . unit tests for html templating (and re-enabled the listbox field for
278 multilinks)
279 . allow abbreviation of "help" in admin tool too.
280 . run_tests testReldate_date failed if LANG is 'german'
281 . mailgw failures (unexpected ones) are forwarded to the roundup admin
284 2002-01-16 - 0.4.0b2
285 Fixed:
286 . #495392 ] empty nosy -patch
287 . #500574 ] messageid must have format <part1@part2>
288 . fixed some problems with web editing and change detection
289 . mail splitting wasn't detecting responses in the same "section" as quoted
290 text
291 . missed a "from i18n import _" in date.py
292 . #501690 ] MIGRATION.txt incomplete
293 . #502342 ] pipe interface
294 . #502437 ] rogue reactor and unittest
295 . re-enabled dumbdbm when using python >2.1.1 (ie 2.1.2, 2.2)
296 . changed all config accesses so they access either the instance or the
297 config attriubute on the db. This means that all config is obtained from
298 instance_config instead of the mish-mash of classes. This will make
299 switching to a ConfigParser setup easier too, I hope.
300 . #502951 ] adding new properties to old database
301 . #502953 ] nosy-like treatment of other multilinks
302 . #503164 ] create and passwords
303 . plain rendering of links in the htmltemplate now generate a hyperlink to
304 the linked node's page.
305 . #503330 ] ANONYMOUS_REGISTER now applies to mail
306 . #503353 ] setting properties in initial email
307 . #502956 ] filtering by multilink not supported
308 . #503340 ] creating issue with [asignedto=p.ohly]
309 . #502949 ] index view for non-issues and redisplay
310 . #503793 ] changing assignedto resets nosy list
311 . lots of date/interval related changes:
312 - more relaxed date format for input
313 - handle None for date/interval properties
316 2002-01-08 - 0.4.0b1
317 Feature:
318 . Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
319 the instance.
320 . Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
321 signature info in e-mails.
322 . Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
323 . Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
324 . Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
325 . We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
326 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
327 bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
328 lot more work anyway...
329 - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
330 single transaction
331 - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
332 if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
333 during the session (up to the last commit).
334 . Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
335 . Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
336 (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
337 . Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
338 . Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
339 needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
340 . much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
341 . #496356 ] Use threading in messages
342 This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
343 using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
344 feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
346 Fixed:
347 . Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
348 . login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
349 . Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
350 gateway.
351 . Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
352 on a failure)
353 . We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
354 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
355 . #487480 ] roundup-server
356 . #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
357 . #489760 ] [issue] only subject
358 . fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
359 . fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
360 . web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
361 . we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
362 this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
363 cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
364 . envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
365 delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
366 . #495400 ] entering blanks
367 Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
368 for details.
369 . #496360 ] table width does not work
370 . detectors were being registered multiple times
371 . added tests for mailgw
374 2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
375 Feature:
376 . #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
377 . #473123 ] Change message generation for author
378 . MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
379 . Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
380 . Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
381 . "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
382 . roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
383 . roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
384 . roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
385 . users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
386 . incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
387 e-mail
388 . added a target version field to the extended issue schema
389 . added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
390 translatable messages
392 Fixed:
393 . Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
394 . 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
395 . Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
396 . roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
397 . Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
398 . Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
399 . bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
400 . bug #474749 ] indentations lost
401 . bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
402 . bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
403 . bug #477687 ] conforming html
404 . bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
405 . bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
406 . bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
407 . bug #477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
408 . newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
409 . bug #479511 ] mailgw to pop
410 . bug #479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
411 . bad error report in hyperdb
412 . roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
413 of processing
414 . roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
415 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
416 an error message to the roundup admin.
417 . fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
418 . errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
419 squashed)
420 . re-open the database as the author in mail handling
421 . missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
424 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
425 Feature:
426 . MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
427 . feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
428 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
429 information is displayed.
430 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
431 . Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
432 . Tabular display of nodes.
433 . Import and export via colon-separated files.
435 Changed:
436 . re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
437 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
439 Fixed:
440 . Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
441 . CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
442 . Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
443 . Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
444 . Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
445 . Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
446 . Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
447 . bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
448 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
449 . bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
450 as numbers now.
451 . bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
452 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
453 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
454 . bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
455 . bug #473126: Sender unknown
456 . bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
459 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
460 Fixed:
461 . Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
462 property values. This broke a lot of things.
465 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
466 Feature:
467 . roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
468 on the command-line.
469 . hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
470 properties.
471 . CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
473 Changed:
474 . Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
475 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
476 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
477 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
478 . The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
479 . The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
480 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
481 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
482 . Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
483 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
484 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
485 number of encoding systems.
486 . The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
487 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
488 documentation for details.)
490 Fixed:
491 . Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
492 Ping - has been removed.
493 . Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
494 . Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
495 . AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
496 . Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
497 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
498 . Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
499 an item now throws an exception.
500 . The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
501 . Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
505 --------------
507 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
508 Fixed:
509 . Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
510 . Missing import in mailgw.
513 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
514 Feature:
515 . Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
516 regular expressions now.
518 Fixed:
519 . Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
520 . Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
521 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
522 . Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
523 . Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
524 that the change note message is actually genrated.
525 . CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
526 . Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
527 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
528 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
529 . Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
530 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
531 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
534 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
535 Note:
536 . Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
538 Feature:
539 . Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
540 with bugs in roundup.init!
541 . Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
542 the tests.
543 . Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
545 Fixed:
546 . Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
547 signatures now too.
548 . Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
549 . Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
550 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
551 . Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
552 . Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
553 module name for the instances on import time.
556 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
557 Note:
558 . The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
559 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
561 Fixed:
562 . Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
563 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
566 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
567 Features:
568 . Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
569 should be linked somewhere.
570 . Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
571 . Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
572 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
573 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
574 cleanup the header up.
575 . Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
576 . Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
577 are displayed.
578 . Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
579 rebuild.
580 . Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
581 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
582 . Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
583 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
584 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
585 instructions, etc).
587 Fixed:
588 . Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
589 . Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
590 . Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
591 . Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
592 . 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
593 . mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
594 was creating nodes for.
595 . remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
596 . Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
597 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
598 names.
601 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
602 Big change:
603 . I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
604 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
605 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
606 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
607 code in "extended" either way.
609 Features:
610 . Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
611 we do anything distutils'y.
612 . Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
613 . Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
614 help and better command-line arg handling.
615 . The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
616 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
617 . Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
619 Fixed:
620 . One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
621 . Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
622 hard-coded to "issue".
623 . templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
624 . The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
625 properly.
626 . The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
627 nodeid) properly.
630 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
631 Features:
632 . Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
633 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
634 . Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
635 tests for multipart splitting.
636 . Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
637 . Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
638 . Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
639 . Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
640 . Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
641 behaviour.
642 . Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
643 . Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
644 it).
646 Fixed:
647 . Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
648 . New issue form handles lack of note better now.
649 . HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
650 . Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
651 . Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
652 query elements.
653 . Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
654 changed now.
657 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
658 Features:
659 . Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
660 . Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
661 directory as "overview.html".
663 Fixes:
664 . Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
665 "html" directory in instance home.
666 . Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
667 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
668 There you go...
669 . Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
670 strict about such things.
672 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
673 Features:
674 . Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
675 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
676 back-ends.
677 . Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
678 out-of-the-box
679 . Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
680 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
681 . Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
682 . Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
683 out-of-the-box.
684 . Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
685 . Added some unit tests.
687 Fixes:
688 . Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
689 . Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
690 . Fixed adding new issue with no change note
691 . Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
692 quoted.
693 . Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
694 message.
696 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
697 . Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
698 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
699 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
700 . Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
701 . Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
702 . Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
703 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
704 . Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
705 . Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
706 . Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
707 columns to sort by to 2.
708 . Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
709 ^text - search for text at start of fields
710 text$ - search for text at end of fields
711 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
712 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
713 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
714 . Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
717 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
718 . Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
719 the priority column isn't displayed.
720 . Thanks Anthony:
721 . added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
722 . added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
723 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
724 . python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
725 . better handling of db directory in initDB
726 . Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
727 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
728 properties, etc.
729 . Set the default index to sort on activity
732 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
733 . Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
734 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
736 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
737 . Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
738 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
739 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
740 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
