1 This file contains the changes to the Roundup system over time. The entries
2 are given with the most recent entry first.
4 2001-11-?? - 0.3.1
5 Feature:
6 . Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
7 the instance.
8 . Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
9 signature info in e-mails.
10 . Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
11 . Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
12 . Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
13 . We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
14 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm backend
15 is modified in this way - neither of the bsddb backends have been.
18 Fixed:
19 . Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
20 . login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
21 . Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
22 gateway.
23 . Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
24 on a failure)
25 . We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
26 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
27 . #487480 ] roundup-server
28 . #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
31 2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
32 Feature:
33 . #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
34 . #473123 ] Change message generation for author
35 . MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
36 . Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
37 . Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
38 . "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
39 . roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
40 . roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
41 . roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
42 . users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
43 . incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
44 e-mail
45 . added a target version field to the extended issue schema
46 . added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
47 translatable messages
49 Fixed:
50 . Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
51 . 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
52 . Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
53 . roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
54 . Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
55 . Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
56 . bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
57 . bug #474749 ] indentations lost
58 . bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
59 . bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
60 . bug #477687 ] conforming html
61 . bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
62 . bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
63 . bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie

65 . newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
66 . bug #479511 ] mailgw to pop
67 . bug #479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
68 . bad error report in hyperdb
69 . roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
70 of processing
71 . roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
72 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
73 an error message to the roundup admin.
74 . fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
75 . errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
76 squashed)
77 . re-open the database as the author in mail handling
78 . missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
81 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
82 Feature:
83 . MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
84 . feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
85 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
86 information is displayed.
87 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
88 . Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
89 . Tabular display of nodes.
90 . Import and export via colon-separated files.
92 Changed:
93 . re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
94 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
96 Fixed:
97 . Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
98 . CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
99 . Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
100 . Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
101 . Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
102 . Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
103 . Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
104 . bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
105 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
106 . bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
107 as numbers now.
108 . bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
109 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
110 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
111 . bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
112 . bug #473126: Sender unknown
113 . bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
116 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
117 Fixed:
118 . Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
119 property values. This broke a lot of things.
122 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
123 Feature:
124 . roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
125 on the command-line.
126 . hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
127 properties.
128 . CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
130 Changed:
131 . Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
132 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
133 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
134 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
135 . The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
136 . The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
137 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
138 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
139 . Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
140 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
141 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
142 number of encoding systems.
143 . The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
144 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
145 documentation for details.)
147 Fixed:
148 . Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
149 Ping - has been removed.
150 . Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
151 . Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
152 . AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
153 . Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
154 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
155 . Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
156 an item now throws an exception.
157 . The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
158 . Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
162 --------------
164 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
165 Fixed:
166 . Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
167 . Missing import in mailgw.
170 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
171 Feature:
172 . Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
173 regular expressions now.
175 Fixed:
176 . Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
177 . Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
178 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
179 . Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
180 . Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
181 that the change note message is actually genrated.
182 . CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
183 . Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
184 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
185 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
186 . Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
187 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
188 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
191 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
192 Note:
193 . Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
195 Feature:
196 . Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
197 with bugs in roundup.init!
198 . Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
199 the tests.
200 . Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
202 Fixed:
203 . Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
204 signatures now too.
205 . Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
206 . Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
207 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
208 . Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
209 . Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
210 module name for the instances on import time.
213 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
214 Note:
215 . The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
216 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
218 Fixed:
219 . Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
220 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
223 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
224 Features:
225 . Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
226 should be linked somewhere.
227 . Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
228 . Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
229 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
230 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
231 cleanup the header up.
232 . Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
233 . Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
234 are displayed.
235 . Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
236 rebuild.
237 . Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
238 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
239 . Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
240 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
241 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
242 instructions, etc).
244 Fixed:
245 . Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
246 . Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
247 . Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
248 . Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
249 . 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
250 . mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
251 was creating nodes for.
252 . remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
253 . Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
254 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
255 names.
258 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
259 Big change:
260 . I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
261 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
262 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
263 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
264 code in "extended" either way.
266 Features:
267 . Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
268 we do anything distutils'y.
269 . Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
270 . Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
271 help and better command-line arg handling.
272 . The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
273 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
274 . Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
276 Fixed:
277 . One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
278 . Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
279 hard-coded to "issue".
280 . templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
281 . The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
282 properly.
283 . The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
284 nodeid) properly.
287 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
288 Features:
289 . Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
290 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
291 . Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
292 tests for multipart splitting.
293 . Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
294 . Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
295 . Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
296 . Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
297 . Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
298 behaviour.
299 . Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
300 . Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
301 it).
303 Fixed:
304 . Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
305 . New issue form handles lack of note better now.
306 . HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
307 . Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
308 . Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
309 query elements.
310 . Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
311 changed now.
314 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
315 Features:
316 . Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
317 . Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
318 directory as "overview.html".
320 Fixes:
321 . Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
322 "html" directory in instance home.
323 . Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
324 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
325 There you go...
326 . Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
327 strict about such things.
329 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
330 Features:
331 . Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
332 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
333 back-ends.
334 . Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
335 out-of-the-box
336 . Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
337 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
338 . Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
339 . Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
340 out-of-the-box.
341 . Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
342 . Added some unit tests.
344 Fixes:
345 . Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
346 . Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
347 . Fixed adding new issue with no change note
348 . Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
349 quoted.
350 . Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
351 message.
353 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
354 . Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
355 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
356 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
357 . Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
358 . Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
359 . Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
360 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
361 . Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
362 . Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
363 . Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
364 columns to sort by to 2.
365 . Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
366 ^text - search for text at start of fields
367 text$ - search for text at end of fields
368 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
369 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
370 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
371 . Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
374 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
375 . Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
376 the priority column isn't displayed.
377 . Thanks Anthony:
378 . added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
379 . added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
380 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
381 . python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
382 . better handling of db directory in initDB
383 . Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
384 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
385 properties, etc.
386 . Set the default index to sort on activity
389 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
390 . Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
391 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
393 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
394 . Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
395 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
396 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
397 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
