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

391 - revamped look and feel in web interface
392 - cleaned up stylesheet usage
393 - several bug fixes and documentation fixes
394 - added is_retired test to hyperdb.Class
395 - added capability to save queries:
396 - a query Class with name, klass (to search) and url (query string)
397 properties
398 - a Multilink to query on user called queries
399 - html templates for query, and a list of queries in user.item
400 - search form has Save button & name input
401 - saved queries put in menu in pagehead
402 - for migration, none of the above is required and old behavior preserved.
403 - showquery translates search form <-> query string
404 - cleaned up the indexer code:
405 - it splits more words out
406 - removed code we'll never use (roundup.roundup_indexer has the full
407 implementation, and replaces roundup.indexer)
408 - only index text/plain and rfc822/message (ideas for other text formats to
409 index are welcome)
410 - added simple unit test for indexer. Needs more tests for regression.
411 - all String properties may now be indexed too. Currently there's a bit of
412 "issue" specific code in the actual searching which needs to be
413 addressed. In a nutshell:
414 + pass 'indexme="yes"' as a String() property initialisation arg, eg:
415 file = FileClass(db, "file", name=String(), type=String(),
416 comment=String(indexme="yes"))
417 + the comment will then be indexed and be searchable, with the results
418 related back to the issue that the file is linked to
419 - as a result of this work, the FileClass has a default MIME type that may
420 be overridden in a subclass, or by the use of a "type" property as is
421 done in the default templates.
422 - the regeneration of the indexes (if necessary) is done once the schema is
423 set up in the dbinit.
424 - new "reindex" command in roundup-admin used to force regeneration of the
425 index
426 - added email display function - mangles email addrs so they're not so easily
427 scraped from the web
428 - switched to using a session-based web login
429 - made mailgw handle set and modify operations on multilinks (bug #579094)
430 - fixed the journal bloat from multilink changes - we just log the add or
431 remove operations, not the whole list
434 2002-06-24 0.4.2
435 Fixed:
436 - Cleaned up the hyperdb unit tests.
437 - Applied patch from Andrew W. Nosenko to give nicer Unauthorised message
438 when anonymous user tries to edit. Should've been applied in 0.4.2pr1. Oops.
439 - Added more detailed note to MIGRATION regarding the detectors changes.
442 2002-06-19 0.4.2pr1
443 Feature:
444 - added a "detectors" directory for people to put their useful auditors and
445 reactors in. Note - the roundupdb.IssueClass.sendmessage method has been
446 split and renamed "nosymessage" specifically for things like the nosy
447 reactor, and "send_message" which just sends the message.
448 - link() htmltemplate function now has a "showid" option for links and
449 multilinks. When true, it only displays the linked node id as the anchor
450 text. The link value is displayed as a tooltip using the title anchor
451 attribute.
452 To use in eg. the superseder field, have something like this:
453 <td>
454 <display call="field('superseder', showid=1)">
455 <display call="classhelp('issue', 'id,title', label='list', width=500)">
456 <property name="superseder">
457 <br>View: <display call="link('superseder', showid=1)">
458 </property>
459 </td>
460 - stripping of the email message body can now be controlled through the
461 config variables EMAIL_KEEP_QUOTED_TEXT and EMAIL_LEAVE_BODY_UNCHANGED.
462 - all database files created are now group readable and writable.
463 - added option to automatically add the authors and recipients of messages
464 to the nosy lists with the options ADD_AUTHOR_TO_NOSY (default 'new') and
465 ADD_RECIPIENTS_TO_NOSY (default 'new'). These settings emulate the current
466 behaviour. Setting them to 'yes' will add the author/recipients to the nosy
467 on messages that create issues and followup messages.
468 - reverting to dates for intervals > 2 months sucks
469 - changed the default message list in issues to display the message body
470 - applied patch #558876 ] cgi client customization
471 - split instance initialisation into two steps, allowing config changes
472 before the database is initialised.
473 - don't create an empty message on email issue creation if the email is empty
474 - may now display additional fields in Multilink form menus
475 - #541941 ] changing multilink properties by mail
476 - #526730 ] search for messages capability
477 - #505180 ] split MailGW.handle_Message
478 - also changed cgi client since it was duplicating the functionality
480 Fixed:
481 - stop sending blank (whitespace-only) notes
482 - cleanup of serialisation for database storage
483 - node ids are now generated from a lockable store - no more race conditions
484 - sorting was applied to all nodes of the MultiLink class instead of
485 to the nodes that are actually linked to in the "field" template
486 function. This adds about 20+ seconds in the display of an issue if
487 your database has a 1000 or more issues in it.
488 - added missing documentation for a few of the config option values
489 - file upload broke if you didn't supply a change note
490 - fixed SCRIPT_NAME in ZRoundup for instances not at top level of Zope
491 (thanks dman)
492 - fixed some sorting issues that were breaking some unit tests under py2.2
493 - mailgw test output dir was confusing the init test (but only on 2.2 *shrug*)
494 - node caching now works, and gives a small boost in performance
495 - #449374 ] re-enable bsddb3 backend
496 bsddb3 backend now works, reinstating
497 - #551483 ] assignedto in Client.make_index_link
498 - made backends.__init__ be more specific about which ImportErrors it really
499 wants to ignore
500 - fixed the example addresses in the templates to use correct example domains
501 - cleaned out the template stylesheets, removing a bunch of junk that really
502 wasn't necessary (font specs, styles never used) and added a style for
503 message content
504 - build htmlbase if tests are run using CVS checkout
505 - #565979 ] code error in hyperdb.Class.find
506 - #565996 ] The "Attach a File to this Issue" fails
507 - #564271 ] find() and new properties
508 - #562130 ] cookie path generated from ZRoundup was wrong in some situations
509 - remove CR characters embedded in messages (ZRoundup)
510 - properly quote the email address and "real name" in all situations using the
511 'email' module if it is available and 'rfc822' otherwise
512 - #565992 ] if ISSUE_TRACKER_WEB doesn't have the trailing '/', add it
513 - use the rfc822 module to ensure that every (oddball) email address and
514 real-name is properly quoted
515 - #558867 ] ZRoundup redirect /instance requests to /instance/
516 - #569415 ] {version}
517 - #569178 ] type error
518 was fixed as part of the general cleanup of reactors
521 2002-03-25 - 0.4.1
522 Feature:
523 - use blobfiles in back_anydbm which is used in back_bsddb.
524 change test_db as dirlist does not work for subdirectories.
525 ATTENTION: blobfiles now creates subdirectories for files.
526 - add module blobfiles in backends with file access functions.
527 - roundup db catch only IOError in getfile.
528 - roundup db catches retrieving not existing files.
529 - #503204 ] mailgw needs a default class
530 - partially done - the setting of additional properties can wait for a
531 better configuration system.
532 - Alternate email addresses are now available for users. See the MIGRATION
533 file for info on how to activate the feature.
534 - #511168 ] Web interface: Adding new products
535 Classes that don't provide template html get a default edit interface now:
536 - access using the admin "class list" interface
537 - limited to admin-only
538 - requires the csv module from object-craft (url given if it's missing)
539 - Added popup help for classes using the classhelp html template function.
540 - add <display call="classhelp('priority', 'id,name,description')">
541 to an item page, and it generates a link to a popup window which displays
542 the id, name and description for the priority class. The description
543 field won't exist in most installations, but it will be added to the
544 default templates.
545 - #517734 ] web header customisation is obscure
546 - All messages sent to the nosy list are now encoded as
547 quoted-printable before they are sent.
548 - Fixed display of mutlilink properties when using the template
549 functions, menu and plain.
551 Fixed:
552 - Clean up mail handling, multipart handling.
553 - respect encodings in non multipart messages.
554 - makeHtmlBase: re.sub under python 2.2 did not replace '.', string.replace
555 does it.
556 - preamble in tepmlateBuilder mentioned htmldata
557 - mailgw checks encoding on first part too.
558 - #511586 ] unittest FAIL: testReldate_date
559 - Added a uniquely Roundup header to email, "X-Roundup-Name"
560 - All forms now have "double-submit" protection when Javascript is enabled
561 on the client-side.
562 - #516883 ] mail interface + ANONYMOUS_REGISTER
563 - #516854 ] "My Issues" and redisplay
564 - #517906 ] Attribute order in "View customisation"
565 - #514854 ] History: "User" is always ticket creator
566 - wasn't handling cvs parser feeding correctly
567 - fixed some problems in date calculations (calendar.py doesn't handle over-
568 and under-flow). Also, hour/minute/second intervals may now be more than
569 99 each.
570 - #527416 ] roundup-admin uses undefined value
571 - #527503 ] unfriendly init blowup when parent dir
572 (also handles UsageError correctly now in init)
573 - #524129 ] roundup-admin gets python path wrong
576 2002-01-24 - 0.4.0
577 Feature:
578 - much nicer history display (actualy real handling of property types etc)
579 - journal entries for link and mutlilink properties can be switched on or
580 off
581 - properties in change note are now sorted
582 - you can now use the roundup-admin tool pack the database
584 Fixed:
585 - the mail gateway now responds with an error message when invalid values
586 for arguments are specified for link or mutlilink properties
587 - modified unit test to check nosy and assignedto when specified as arguments
588 - handle attachments with no name (eg tnef)
589 - fixed setting nosy as argument in subject line
590 - fixed back_bsddb so it passed the journal tests
591 - fixed status changes in mail gateway (eg. unread -> chatting)
592 - we'll actually distribute the frontends directory now, as advertised...
593 - handle stripping of "AW:" from subject line
594 - htmltemplate list() wasn't sorting...
595 - unit tests for html templating (and re-enabled the listbox field for
596 multilinks)
597 - allow abbreviation of "help" in admin tool too.
598 - run_tests testReldate_date failed if LANG is 'german'
599 - mailgw failures (unexpected ones) are forwarded to the roundup admin
602 2002-01-16 - 0.4.0b2
603 Fixed:
604 - #495392 ] empty nosy -patch
605 - #500574 ] messageid must have format <part1@part2>
606 - fixed some problems with web editing and change detection
607 - mail splitting wasn't detecting responses in the same "section" as quoted
608 text
609 - missed a "from i18n import _" in date.py
610 - #501690 ] MIGRATION.txt incomplete
611 - #502342 ] pipe interface
612 - #502437 ] rogue reactor and unittest
613 - re-enabled dumbdbm when using python >2.1.1 (ie 2.1.2, 2.2)
614 - changed all config accesses so they access either the instance or the
615 config attriubute on the db. This means that all config is obtained from
616 instance_config instead of the mish-mash of classes. This will make
617 switching to a ConfigParser setup easier too, I hope.
618 - #502951 ] adding new properties to old database
619 - #502953 ] nosy-like treatment of other multilinks
620 - #503164 ] create and passwords
621 - plain rendering of links in the htmltemplate now generate a hyperlink to
622 the linked node's page.
623 - #503330 ] ANONYMOUS_REGISTER now applies to mail
624 - #503353 ] setting properties in initial email
625 - #502956 ] filtering by multilink not supported
626 - #503340 ] creating issue with [asignedto=p.ohly]
627 - #502949 ] index view for non-issues and redisplay
628 - #503793 ] changing assignedto resets nosy list
629 - lots of date/interval related changes:
630 - more relaxed date format for input
631 - handle None for date/interval properties
634 2002-01-08 - 0.4.0b1
635 Feature:
636 - Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
637 the instance.
638 - Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
639 signature info in e-mails.
640 - Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
641 - Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
642 - Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
643 - We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
644 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
645 bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
646 lot more work anyway...
647 - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
648 single transaction
649 - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
650 if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
651 during the session (up to the last commit).
652 - Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
653 - Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
654 (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
655 - Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
656 - Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
657 needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
658 - much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
659 - #496356 ] Use threading in messages
660 This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
661 using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
662 feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
664 Fixed:
665 - Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
666 - login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
667 - Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
668 gateway.
669 - Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
670 on a failure)
671 - We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
672 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
673 - #487480 ] roundup-server
674 - #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
675 - #489760 ] [issue] only subject
676 - fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
677 - fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
678 - web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
679 - we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
680 this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
681 cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
682 - envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
683 delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
684 - #495400 ] entering blanks
685 Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
686 for details.
687 - #496360 ] table width does not work
688 - detectors were being registered multiple times
689 - added tests for mailgw
692 2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
693 Feature:
694 - #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
695 - #473123 ] Change message generation for author
696 - MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
697 - Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
698 - Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
699 - "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
700 - roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
701 - roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
702 - roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
703 - users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
704 - incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
705 e-mail
706 - added a target version field to the extended issue schema
707 - added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
708 translatable messages
710 Fixed:
711 - Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
712 - 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
713 - Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
714 - roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
715 - Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
716 - Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
717 - bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
718 - bug #474749 ] indentations lost
719 - bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
720 - bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
721 - bug #477687 ] conforming html
722 - bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
723 - bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
724 - bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
725 - bug #477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
726 - newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
727 - bug #479511 ] mailgw to pop
728 - bug #479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
729 - bad error report in hyperdb
730 - roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
731 of processing
732 - roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
733 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
734 an error message to the roundup admin.
735 - fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
736 - errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
737 squashed)
738 - re-open the database as the author in mail handling
739 - missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
742 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
743 Feature:
744 - MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
745 - feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
746 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
747 information is displayed.
748 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
749 - Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
750 - Tabular display of nodes.
751 - Import and export via colon-separated files.
753 Changed:
754 - re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
755 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
757 Fixed:
758 - Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
759 - CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
760 - Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
761 - Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
762 - Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
763 - Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
764 - Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
765 - bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
766 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
767 - bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
768 as numbers now.
769 - bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
770 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
771 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
772 - bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
773 - bug #473126: Sender unknown
774 - bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
777 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
778 Fixed:
779 - Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
780 property values. This broke a lot of things.
783 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
784 Feature:
785 - roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
786 on the command-line.
787 - hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
788 properties.
789 - CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
791 Changed:
792 - Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
793 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
794 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
795 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
796 - The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
797 - The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
798 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
799 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
800 - Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
801 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
802 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
803 number of encoding systems.
804 - The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
805 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
806 documentation for details.)
808 Fixed:
809 - Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
810 Ping - has been removed.
811 - Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
812 - Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
813 - AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
814 - Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
815 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
816 - Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
817 an item now throws an exception.
818 - The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
819 - Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
823 --------------
825 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
826 Fixed:
827 - Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
828 - Missing import in mailgw.
831 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
832 Feature:
833 - Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
834 regular expressions now.
836 Fixed:
837 - Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
838 - Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
839 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
840 - Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
841 - Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
842 that the change note message is actually genrated.
843 - CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
844 - Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
845 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
846 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
847 - Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
848 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
849 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
852 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
853 Note:
854 - Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
856 Feature:
857 - Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
858 with bugs in roundup.init!
859 - Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
860 the tests.
861 - Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
863 Fixed:
864 - Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
865 signatures now too.
866 - Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
867 - Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
868 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
869 - Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
870 - Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
871 module name for the instances on import time.
874 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
875 Note:
876 - The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
877 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
879 Fixed:
880 - Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
881 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
884 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
885 Features:
886 - Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
887 should be linked somewhere.
888 - Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
889 - Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
890 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
891 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
892 cleanup the header up.
893 - Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
894 - Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
895 are displayed.
896 - Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
897 rebuild.
898 - Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
899 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
900 - Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
901 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
902 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
903 instructions, etc).
905 Fixed:
906 - Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
907 - Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
908 - Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
909 - Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
910 - 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
911 - mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
912 was creating nodes for.
913 - remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
914 - Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
915 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
916 names.
919 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
920 Big change:
921 - I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
922 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
923 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
924 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
925 code in "extended" either way.
927 Features:
928 - Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
929 we do anything distutils'y.
930 - Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
931 - Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
932 help and better command-line arg handling.
933 - The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
934 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
935 - Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
937 Fixed:
938 - One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
939 - Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
940 hard-coded to "issue".
941 - templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
942 - The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
943 properly.

949 Features:
950 - Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation

952 - Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
953 tests for multipart splitting.
954 - Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
955 - Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
956 - Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
957 - Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
958 - Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
959 behaviour.
960 - Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
961 - Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
962 it).

966 - New issue form handles lack of note better now.
967 - HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
968 - Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
969 - Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
970 query elements.

985 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
986 There you go...

988 strict about such things.
990 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0

992 - Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
993 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
994 back-ends.
995 - Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
996 out-of-the-box
997 - Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
998 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.

1012 message.
1014 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
1015 - Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the

1017 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
1018 - Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
1019 - Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
1020 - Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link

1023 - Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
1024 - Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
1025 columns to sort by to 2.
1026 - Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
1027 ^text - search for text at start of fields
1028 text$ - search for text at end of fields
1029 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields

1031 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
1032 - Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
1035 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
1036 - Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
1037 the priority column isn't displayed.
1038 - Thanks Anthony:
1039 - added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
1040 - added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
1041 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
1042 - python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
1043 - better handling of db directory in initDB
1044 - Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
1045 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
1046 properties, etc.
1047 - Set the default index to sort on activity

1054 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
1055 - Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
1056 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
1057 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
1058 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
