1 This file contains the changes to the Roundup system over time. The entries
2 are given with the most recent entry first.
4 2003-??-?? 0.6.0
5 Removed:
6 - having served its purpose as a template for other relational database
7 implementations, the gadfly backend has now been removed from the Roundup
8 distribution.
10 Feature:
11 - support setting of properties on message and file through web and
12 email interface (thanks John Rouillard)
13 - allow additional control over the roundupdb email sending (explicit
14 cc addresses, different from address and different nosy list property)
15 (thanks John Rouillard)
16 - applied patch for nicer history display (sf feature 638280)
17 - cleaning old unused sessions only once per hour, not on every cgi
18 request. It is greatly improves web interface performance, especially

25 convered to GMT (see doc/upgrading.txt).
26 - added a form to show a specific issue

231 - gadfly backend now handles changes to the schema - but only one property
232 at a time

238 backends

240 if they're not all there

242 - verify contents of tracker module when the tracker is opened
243 - many performance improvements in *dbm and sql backends

288 - #576086 ] dumb copying mistake (frontends/ZRoundup.py)

298 Feature:
299 - new backend for metakit (thanks Gordon McMillan)
300 - new backend for gadfly (it's as done as it's going to get)
301 - further split the dbm backends from the core code, allowing easier
302 non-dict-like backends (eg metakit, RDB)
303 - implemented and used the new access control mechanisms (Permissions, Roles)
304 (see doc/security.txt)
305 - switched templating to use Zope's PageTemplates (yay!)

324 - revamped look and feel in web interface
325 - cleaned up stylesheet usage
326 - several bug fixes and documentation fixes
327 - added is_retired test to hyperdb.Class
328 - added capability to save queries:
329 - a query Class with name, klass (to search) and url (query string)
330 properties
331 - a Multilink to query on user called queries
332 - html templates for query, and a list of queries in user.item
333 - search form has Save button & name input
334 - saved queries put in menu in pagehead
335 - for migration, none of the above is required and old behavior preserved.
336 - showquery translates search form <-> query string
337 - cleaned up the indexer code:
338 - it splits more words out
339 - removed code we'll never use (roundup.roundup_indexer has the full
340 implementation, and replaces roundup.indexer)
341 - only index text/plain and rfc822/message (ideas for other text formats to
342 index are welcome)
343 - added simple unit test for indexer. Needs more tests for regression.
344 - all String properties may now be indexed too. Currently there's a bit of
345 "issue" specific code in the actual searching which needs to be
346 addressed. In a nutshell:
347 + pass 'indexme="yes"' as a String() property initialisation arg, eg:
348 file = FileClass(db, "file", name=String(), type=String(),
349 comment=String(indexme="yes"))
350 + the comment will then be indexed and be searchable, with the results
351 related back to the issue that the file is linked to
352 - as a result of this work, the FileClass has a default MIME type that may
353 be overridden in a subclass, or by the use of a "type" property as is
354 done in the default templates.
355 - the regeneration of the indexes (if necessary) is done once the schema is
356 set up in the dbinit.
357 - new "reindex" command in roundup-admin used to force regeneration of the
358 index
359 - added email display function - mangles email addrs so they're not so easily
360 scraped from the web
361 - switched to using a session-based web login
362 - made mailgw handle set and modify operations on multilinks (bug #579094)
363 - fixed the journal bloat from multilink changes - we just log the add or
364 remove operations, not the whole list
367 2002-06-24 0.4.2
368 Fixed:
369 - Cleaned up the hyperdb unit tests.
370 - Applied patch from Andrew W. Nosenko to give nicer Unauthorised message
371 when anonymous user tries to edit. Should've been applied in 0.4.2pr1. Oops.
372 - Added more detailed note to MIGRATION regarding the detectors changes.
375 2002-06-19 0.4.2pr1
376 Feature:
377 - added a "detectors" directory for people to put their useful auditors and
378 reactors in. Note - the roundupdb.IssueClass.sendmessage method has been
379 split and renamed "nosymessage" specifically for things like the nosy
380 reactor, and "send_message" which just sends the message.
381 - link() htmltemplate function now has a "showid" option for links and
382 multilinks. When true, it only displays the linked node id as the anchor
383 text. The link value is displayed as a tooltip using the title anchor
384 attribute.
385 To use in eg. the superseder field, have something like this:
386 <td>
387 <display call="field('superseder', showid=1)">
388 <display call="classhelp('issue', 'id,title', label='list', width=500)">
389 <property name="superseder">
390 <br>View: <display call="link('superseder', showid=1)">
391 </property>
392 </td>
393 - stripping of the email message body can now be controlled through the
394 config variables EMAIL_KEEP_QUOTED_TEXT and EMAIL_LEAVE_BODY_UNCHANGED.
395 - all database files created are now group readable and writable.
396 - added option to automatically add the authors and recipients of messages
397 to the nosy lists with the options ADD_AUTHOR_TO_NOSY (default 'new') and
398 ADD_RECIPIENTS_TO_NOSY (default 'new'). These settings emulate the current
399 behaviour. Setting them to 'yes' will add the author/recipients to the nosy
400 on messages that create issues and followup messages.
401 - reverting to dates for intervals > 2 months sucks
402 - changed the default message list in issues to display the message body
403 - applied patch #558876 ] cgi client customization
404 - split instance initialisation into two steps, allowing config changes
405 before the database is initialised.
406 - don't create an empty message on email issue creation if the email is empty
407 - may now display additional fields in Multilink form menus
408 - #541941 ] changing multilink properties by mail
409 - #526730 ] search for messages capability
410 - #505180 ] split MailGW.handle_Message
411 - also changed cgi client since it was duplicating the functionality
413 Fixed:
414 - stop sending blank (whitespace-only) notes
415 - cleanup of serialisation for database storage
416 - node ids are now generated from a lockable store - no more race conditions
417 - sorting was applied to all nodes of the MultiLink class instead of
418 to the nodes that are actually linked to in the "field" template
419 function. This adds about 20+ seconds in the display of an issue if
420 your database has a 1000 or more issues in it.
421 - added missing documentation for a few of the config option values
422 - file upload broke if you didn't supply a change note
423 - fixed SCRIPT_NAME in ZRoundup for instances not at top level of Zope
424 (thanks dman)
425 - fixed some sorting issues that were breaking some unit tests under py2.2
426 - mailgw test output dir was confusing the init test (but only on 2.2 *shrug*)
427 - node caching now works, and gives a small boost in performance
428 - #449374 ] re-enable bsddb3 backend
429 bsddb3 backend now works, reinstating
430 - #551483 ] assignedto in Client.make_index_link
431 - made backends.__init__ be more specific about which ImportErrors it really
432 wants to ignore
433 - fixed the example addresses in the templates to use correct example domains
434 - cleaned out the template stylesheets, removing a bunch of junk that really
435 wasn't necessary (font specs, styles never used) and added a style for
436 message content
437 - build htmlbase if tests are run using CVS checkout
438 - #565979 ] code error in hyperdb.Class.find
439 - #565996 ] The "Attach a File to this Issue" fails
440 - #564271 ] find() and new properties
441 - #562130 ] cookie path generated from ZRoundup was wrong in some situations
442 - remove CR characters embedded in messages (ZRoundup)
443 - properly quote the email address and "real name" in all situations using the
444 'email' module if it is available and 'rfc822' otherwise
445 - #565992 ] if ISSUE_TRACKER_WEB doesn't have the trailing '/', add it
446 - use the rfc822 module to ensure that every (oddball) email address and
447 real-name is properly quoted
448 - #558867 ] ZRoundup redirect /instance requests to /instance/
449 - #569415 ] {version}
450 - #569178 ] type error
451 was fixed as part of the general cleanup of reactors
454 2002-03-25 - 0.4.1
455 Feature:
456 - use blobfiles in back_anydbm which is used in back_bsddb.
457 change test_db as dirlist does not work for subdirectories.
458 ATTENTION: blobfiles now creates subdirectories for files.
459 - add module blobfiles in backends with file access functions.
460 - roundup db catch only IOError in getfile.
461 - roundup db catches retrieving not existing files.
462 - #503204 ] mailgw needs a default class
463 - partially done - the setting of additional properties can wait for a
464 better configuration system.
465 - Alternate email addresses are now available for users. See the MIGRATION
466 file for info on how to activate the feature.
467 - #511168 ] Web interface: Adding new products
468 Classes that don't provide template html get a default edit interface now:
469 - access using the admin "class list" interface
470 - limited to admin-only
471 - requires the csv module from object-craft (url given if it's missing)
472 - Added popup help for classes using the classhelp html template function.
473 - add <display call="classhelp('priority', 'id,name,description')">
474 to an item page, and it generates a link to a popup window which displays
475 the id, name and description for the priority class. The description
476 field won't exist in most installations, but it will be added to the
477 default templates.
478 - #517734 ] web header customisation is obscure
479 - All messages sent to the nosy list are now encoded as
480 quoted-printable before they are sent.
481 - Fixed display of mutlilink properties when using the template
482 functions, menu and plain.
484 Fixed:
485 - Clean up mail handling, multipart handling.
486 - respect encodings in non multipart messages.
487 - makeHtmlBase: re.sub under python 2.2 did not replace '.', string.replace
488 does it.
489 - preamble in tepmlateBuilder mentioned htmldata
490 - mailgw checks encoding on first part too.
491 - #511586 ] unittest FAIL: testReldate_date
492 - Added a uniquely Roundup header to email, "X-Roundup-Name"
493 - All forms now have "double-submit" protection when Javascript is enabled
494 on the client-side.
495 - #516883 ] mail interface + ANONYMOUS_REGISTER
496 - #516854 ] "My Issues" and redisplay
497 - #517906 ] Attribute order in "View customisation"
498 - #514854 ] History: "User" is always ticket creator
499 - wasn't handling cvs parser feeding correctly
500 - fixed some problems in date calculations (calendar.py doesn't handle over-
501 and under-flow). Also, hour/minute/second intervals may now be more than
502 99 each.
503 - #527416 ] roundup-admin uses undefined value
504 - #527503 ] unfriendly init blowup when parent dir
505 (also handles UsageError correctly now in init)
506 - #524129 ] roundup-admin gets python path wrong
509 2002-01-24 - 0.4.0
510 Feature:
511 - much nicer history display (actualy real handling of property types etc)
512 - journal entries for link and mutlilink properties can be switched on or
513 off
514 - properties in change note are now sorted
515 - you can now use the roundup-admin tool pack the database
517 Fixed:
518 - the mail gateway now responds with an error message when invalid values
519 for arguments are specified for link or mutlilink properties
520 - modified unit test to check nosy and assignedto when specified as arguments
521 - handle attachments with no name (eg tnef)
522 - fixed setting nosy as argument in subject line
523 - fixed back_bsddb so it passed the journal tests
524 - fixed status changes in mail gateway (eg. unread -> chatting)
525 - we'll actually distribute the frontends directory now, as advertised...
526 - handle stripping of "AW:" from subject line
527 - htmltemplate list() wasn't sorting...
528 - unit tests for html templating (and re-enabled the listbox field for
529 multilinks)
530 - allow abbreviation of "help" in admin tool too.
531 - run_tests testReldate_date failed if LANG is 'german'
532 - mailgw failures (unexpected ones) are forwarded to the roundup admin
535 2002-01-16 - 0.4.0b2
536 Fixed:
537 - #495392 ] empty nosy -patch
538 - #500574 ] messageid must have format <part1@part2>
539 - fixed some problems with web editing and change detection
540 - mail splitting wasn't detecting responses in the same "section" as quoted
541 text
542 - missed a "from i18n import _" in date.py
543 - #501690 ] MIGRATION.txt incomplete
544 - #502342 ] pipe interface
545 - #502437 ] rogue reactor and unittest
546 - re-enabled dumbdbm when using python >2.1.1 (ie 2.1.2, 2.2)
547 - changed all config accesses so they access either the instance or the
548 config attriubute on the db. This means that all config is obtained from
549 instance_config instead of the mish-mash of classes. This will make
550 switching to a ConfigParser setup easier too, I hope.
551 - #502951 ] adding new properties to old database
552 - #502953 ] nosy-like treatment of other multilinks
553 - #503164 ] create and passwords
554 - plain rendering of links in the htmltemplate now generate a hyperlink to
555 the linked node's page.
556 - #503330 ] ANONYMOUS_REGISTER now applies to mail
557 - #503353 ] setting properties in initial email
558 - #502956 ] filtering by multilink not supported
559 - #503340 ] creating issue with [asignedto=p.ohly]
560 - #502949 ] index view for non-issues and redisplay
561 - #503793 ] changing assignedto resets nosy list
562 - lots of date/interval related changes:
563 - more relaxed date format for input
564 - handle None for date/interval properties
567 2002-01-08 - 0.4.0b1
568 Feature:
569 - Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
570 the instance.
571 - Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
572 signature info in e-mails.
573 - Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
574 - Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
575 - Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
576 - We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
577 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
578 bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
579 lot more work anyway...
580 - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
581 single transaction
582 - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
583 if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
584 during the session (up to the last commit).
585 - Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
586 - Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
587 (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
588 - Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
589 - Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
590 needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
591 - much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
592 - #496356 ] Use threading in messages
593 This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
594 using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
595 feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
597 Fixed:
598 - Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
599 - login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
600 - Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
601 gateway.
602 - Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
603 on a failure)
604 - We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
605 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
606 - #487480 ] roundup-server
607 - #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
608 - #489760 ] [issue] only subject
609 - fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
610 - fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
611 - web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
612 - we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
613 this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
614 cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
615 - envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
616 delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
617 - #495400 ] entering blanks
618 Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
619 for details.
620 - #496360 ] table width does not work
621 - detectors were being registered multiple times
622 - added tests for mailgw
625 2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
626 Feature:
627 - #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
628 - #473123 ] Change message generation for author
629 - MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
630 - Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
631 - Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
632 - "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
633 - roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
634 - roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
635 - roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
636 - users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
637 - incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
638 e-mail
639 - added a target version field to the extended issue schema
640 - added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
641 translatable messages
643 Fixed:
644 - Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
645 - 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
646 - Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
647 - roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
648 - Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
649 - Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
650 - bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
651 - bug #474749 ] indentations lost
652 - bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
653 - bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
654 - bug #477687 ] conforming html
655 - bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
656 - bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
657 - bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
658 - bug #477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
659 - newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
660 - bug #479511 ] mailgw to pop
661 - bug #479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
662 - bad error report in hyperdb
663 - roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
664 of processing
665 - roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
666 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
667 an error message to the roundup admin.
668 - fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
669 - errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
670 squashed)
671 - re-open the database as the author in mail handling
672 - missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
675 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
676 Feature:
677 - MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
678 - feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
679 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
680 information is displayed.
681 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
682 - Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
683 - Tabular display of nodes.
684 - Import and export via colon-separated files.
686 Changed:
687 - re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
688 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
690 Fixed:
691 - Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
692 - CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
693 - Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
694 - Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
695 - Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
696 - Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
697 - Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
698 - bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
699 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
700 - bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
701 as numbers now.
702 - bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
703 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
704 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
705 - bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
706 - bug #473126: Sender unknown
707 - bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
710 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
711 Fixed:
712 - Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
713 property values. This broke a lot of things.
716 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
717 Feature:
718 - roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
719 on the command-line.
720 - hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
721 properties.
722 - CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
724 Changed:
725 - Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
726 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
727 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
728 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
729 - The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
730 - The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
731 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
732 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
733 - Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
734 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
735 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
736 number of encoding systems.
737 - The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
738 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
739 documentation for details.)
741 Fixed:
742 - Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
743 Ping - has been removed.
744 - Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
745 - Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
746 - AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
747 - Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
748 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
749 - Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
750 an item now throws an exception.
751 - The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
752 - Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
756 --------------
758 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
759 Fixed:
760 - Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
761 - Missing import in mailgw.
764 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
765 Feature:
766 - Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
767 regular expressions now.
769 Fixed:
770 - Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
771 - Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
772 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
773 - Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
774 - Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
775 that the change note message is actually genrated.
776 - CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
777 - Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
778 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
779 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
780 - Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
781 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
782 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
785 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
786 Note:
787 - Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
789 Feature:
790 - Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
791 with bugs in roundup.init!
792 - Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
793 the tests.
794 - Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
796 Fixed:
797 - Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
798 signatures now too.
799 - Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
800 - Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
801 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
802 - Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
803 - Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
804 module name for the instances on import time.
807 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
808 Note:
809 - The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
810 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
812 Fixed:
813 - Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
814 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
817 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
818 Features:
819 - Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
820 should be linked somewhere.
821 - Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
822 - Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
823 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
824 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
825 cleanup the header up.
826 - Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
827 - Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
828 are displayed.
829 - Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
830 rebuild.
831 - Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
832 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
833 - Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
834 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
835 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
836 instructions, etc).
838 Fixed:
839 - Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
840 - Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
841 - Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
842 - Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
843 - 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
844 - mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
845 was creating nodes for.
846 - remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
847 - Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
848 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
849 names.
852 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
853 Big change:
854 - I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
855 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
856 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
857 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
858 code in "extended" either way.
860 Features:
861 - Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
862 we do anything distutils'y.
863 - Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
864 - Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
865 help and better command-line arg handling.
866 - The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
867 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
868 - Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
870 Fixed:
871 - One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
872 - Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
873 hard-coded to "issue".
874 - templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
875 - The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
876 properly.
877 - The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
878 nodeid) properly.
881 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
882 Features:
883 - Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
884 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
885 - Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
886 tests for multipart splitting.
887 - Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
888 - Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
889 - Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
890 - Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
891 - Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
892 behaviour.
893 - Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
894 - Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
895 it).
897 Fixed:
898 - Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
899 - New issue form handles lack of note better now.
900 - HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
901 - Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
902 - Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
903 query elements.
904 - Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
905 changed now.
908 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
909 Features:
910 - Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
911 - Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
912 directory as "overview.html".
914 Fixes:
915 - Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
916 "html" directory in instance home.
917 - Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
918 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
919 There you go...
920 - Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
921 strict about such things.
923 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
924 Features:
925 - Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
926 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
927 back-ends.
928 - Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
929 out-of-the-box
930 - Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
931 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
932 - Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
933 - Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
934 out-of-the-box.
935 - Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
936 - Added some unit tests.
938 Fixes:
939 - Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
940 - Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
941 - Fixed adding new issue with no change note
942 - Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
943 quoted.
944 - Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
945 message.
947 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
948 - Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
949 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
950 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
951 - Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
952 - Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
953 - Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
954 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
955 - Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
956 - Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
957 - Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
958 columns to sort by to 2.
959 - Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
960 ^text - search for text at start of fields
961 text$ - search for text at end of fields
962 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
963 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
964 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
965 - Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
968 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
969 - Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
970 the priority column isn't displayed.
971 - Thanks Anthony:
972 - added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
973 - added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
974 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
975 - python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
976 - better handling of db directory in initDB
977 - Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
978 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
979 properties, etc.
980 - Set the default index to sort on activity
983 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
984 - Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
985 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
987 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
988 - Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
989 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
990 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
991 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
