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

392 - several bug fixes and documentation fixes
393 - added is_retired test to hyperdb.Class
394 - added capability to save queries:
395 - a query Class with name, klass (to search) and url (query string)
396 properties
397 - a Multilink to query on user called queries
398 - html templates for query, and a list of queries in user.item
399 - search form has Save button & name input
400 - saved queries put in menu in pagehead
401 - for migration, none of the above is required and old behavior preserved.
402 - showquery translates search form <-> query string
403 - cleaned up the indexer code:
404 - it splits more words out
405 - removed code we'll never use (roundup.roundup_indexer has the full
406 implementation, and replaces roundup.indexer)
407 - only index text/plain and rfc822/message (ideas for other text formats to
408 index are welcome)
409 - added simple unit test for indexer. Needs more tests for regression.
410 - all String properties may now be indexed too. Currently there's a bit of
411 "issue" specific code in the actual searching which needs to be
412 addressed. In a nutshell:
413 + pass 'indexme="yes"' as a String() property initialisation arg, eg:
414 file = FileClass(db, "file", name=String(), type=String(),
415 comment=String(indexme="yes"))
416 + the comment will then be indexed and be searchable, with the results
417 related back to the issue that the file is linked to
418 - as a result of this work, the FileClass has a default MIME type that may
419 be overridden in a subclass, or by the use of a "type" property as is
420 done in the default templates.
421 - the regeneration of the indexes (if necessary) is done once the schema is
422 set up in the dbinit.
423 - new "reindex" command in roundup-admin used to force regeneration of the
424 index
425 - added email display function - mangles email addrs so they're not so easily
426 scraped from the web
427 - switched to using a session-based web login
428 - made mailgw handle set and modify operations on multilinks (bug #579094)
429 - fixed the journal bloat from multilink changes - we just log the add or
430 remove operations, not the whole list
433 2002-06-24 0.4.2
434 Fixed:
435 - Cleaned up the hyperdb unit tests.
436 - Applied patch from Andrew W. Nosenko to give nicer Unauthorised message
437 when anonymous user tries to edit. Should've been applied in 0.4.2pr1. Oops.
438 - Added more detailed note to MIGRATION regarding the detectors changes.
441 2002-06-19 0.4.2pr1
442 Feature:
443 - added a "detectors" directory for people to put their useful auditors and
444 reactors in. Note - the roundupdb.IssueClass.sendmessage method has been
445 split and renamed "nosymessage" specifically for things like the nosy
446 reactor, and "send_message" which just sends the message.
447 - link() htmltemplate function now has a "showid" option for links and
448 multilinks. When true, it only displays the linked node id as the anchor
449 text. The link value is displayed as a tooltip using the title anchor
450 attribute.
451 To use in eg. the superseder field, have something like this:
452 <td>
453 <display call="field('superseder', showid=1)">
454 <display call="classhelp('issue', 'id,title', label='list', width=500)">
455 <property name="superseder">
456 <br>View: <display call="link('superseder', showid=1)">
457 </property>
458 </td>
459 - stripping of the email message body can now be controlled through the
460 config variables EMAIL_KEEP_QUOTED_TEXT and EMAIL_LEAVE_BODY_UNCHANGED.
461 - all database files created are now group readable and writable.
462 - added option to automatically add the authors and recipients of messages
463 to the nosy lists with the options ADD_AUTHOR_TO_NOSY (default 'new') and
464 ADD_RECIPIENTS_TO_NOSY (default 'new'). These settings emulate the current
465 behaviour. Setting them to 'yes' will add the author/recipients to the nosy
466 on messages that create issues and followup messages.
467 - reverting to dates for intervals > 2 months sucks
468 - changed the default message list in issues to display the message body
469 - applied patch #558876 ] cgi client customization
470 - split instance initialisation into two steps, allowing config changes
471 before the database is initialised.
472 - don't create an empty message on email issue creation if the email is empty
473 - may now display additional fields in Multilink form menus
474 - #541941 ] changing multilink properties by mail
475 - #526730 ] search for messages capability
476 - #505180 ] split MailGW.handle_Message
477 - also changed cgi client since it was duplicating the functionality
479 Fixed:
480 - stop sending blank (whitespace-only) notes
481 - cleanup of serialisation for database storage
482 - node ids are now generated from a lockable store - no more race conditions
483 - sorting was applied to all nodes of the MultiLink class instead of
484 to the nodes that are actually linked to in the "field" template
485 function. This adds about 20+ seconds in the display of an issue if
486 your database has a 1000 or more issues in it.
487 - added missing documentation for a few of the config option values
488 - file upload broke if you didn't supply a change note
489 - fixed SCRIPT_NAME in ZRoundup for instances not at top level of Zope
490 (thanks dman)
491 - fixed some sorting issues that were breaking some unit tests under py2.2
492 - mailgw test output dir was confusing the init test (but only on 2.2 *shrug*)
493 - node caching now works, and gives a small boost in performance
494 - #449374 ] re-enable bsddb3 backend
495 bsddb3 backend now works, reinstating
496 - #551483 ] assignedto in Client.make_index_link
497 - made backends.__init__ be more specific about which ImportErrors it really
498 wants to ignore
499 - fixed the example addresses in the templates to use correct example domains
500 - cleaned out the template stylesheets, removing a bunch of junk that really
501 wasn't necessary (font specs, styles never used) and added a style for
502 message content
503 - build htmlbase if tests are run using CVS checkout
504 - #565979 ] code error in hyperdb.Class.find
505 - #565996 ] The "Attach a File to this Issue" fails
506 - #564271 ] find() and new properties
507 - #562130 ] cookie path generated from ZRoundup was wrong in some situations
508 - remove CR characters embedded in messages (ZRoundup)
509 - properly quote the email address and "real name" in all situations using the
510 'email' module if it is available and 'rfc822' otherwise
511 - #565992 ] if ISSUE_TRACKER_WEB doesn't have the trailing '/', add it
512 - use the rfc822 module to ensure that every (oddball) email address and
513 real-name is properly quoted
514 - #558867 ] ZRoundup redirect /instance requests to /instance/
515 - #569415 ] {version}
516 - #569178 ] type error
517 was fixed as part of the general cleanup of reactors
520 2002-03-25 - 0.4.1
521 Feature:
522 - use blobfiles in back_anydbm which is used in back_bsddb.
523 change test_db as dirlist does not work for subdirectories.
524 ATTENTION: blobfiles now creates subdirectories for files.
525 - add module blobfiles in backends with file access functions.
526 - roundup db catch only IOError in getfile.
527 - roundup db catches retrieving not existing files.
528 - #503204 ] mailgw needs a default class
529 - partially done - the setting of additional properties can wait for a
530 better configuration system.
531 - Alternate email addresses are now available for users. See the MIGRATION
532 file for info on how to activate the feature.
533 - #511168 ] Web interface: Adding new products
534 Classes that don't provide template html get a default edit interface now:
535 - access using the admin "class list" interface
536 - limited to admin-only
537 - requires the csv module from object-craft (url given if it's missing)
538 - Added popup help for classes using the classhelp html template function.
539 - add <display call="classhelp('priority', 'id,name,description')">
540 to an item page, and it generates a link to a popup window which displays
541 the id, name and description for the priority class. The description
542 field won't exist in most installations, but it will be added to the
543 default templates.
544 - #517734 ] web header customisation is obscure
545 - All messages sent to the nosy list are now encoded as
546 quoted-printable before they are sent.
547 - Fixed display of mutlilink properties when using the template
548 functions, menu and plain.
550 Fixed:
551 - Clean up mail handling, multipart handling.
552 - respect encodings in non multipart messages.
553 - makeHtmlBase: re.sub under python 2.2 did not replace '.', string.replace
554 does it.
555 - preamble in tepmlateBuilder mentioned htmldata
556 - mailgw checks encoding on first part too.
557 - #511586 ] unittest FAIL: testReldate_date
558 - Added a uniquely Roundup header to email, "X-Roundup-Name"
559 - All forms now have "double-submit" protection when Javascript is enabled
560 on the client-side.
561 - #516883 ] mail interface + ANONYMOUS_REGISTER
562 - #516854 ] "My Issues" and redisplay
563 - #517906 ] Attribute order in "View customisation"
564 - #514854 ] History: "User" is always ticket creator
565 - wasn't handling cvs parser feeding correctly
566 - fixed some problems in date calculations (calendar.py doesn't handle over-
567 and under-flow). Also, hour/minute/second intervals may now be more than
568 99 each.
569 - #527416 ] roundup-admin uses undefined value
570 - #527503 ] unfriendly init blowup when parent dir
571 (also handles UsageError correctly now in init)
572 - #524129 ] roundup-admin gets python path wrong
575 2002-01-24 - 0.4.0
576 Feature:
577 - much nicer history display (actualy real handling of property types etc)
578 - journal entries for link and mutlilink properties can be switched on or
579 off
580 - properties in change note are now sorted
581 - you can now use the roundup-admin tool pack the database
583 Fixed:
584 - the mail gateway now responds with an error message when invalid values
585 for arguments are specified for link or mutlilink properties
586 - modified unit test to check nosy and assignedto when specified as arguments
587 - handle attachments with no name (eg tnef)
588 - fixed setting nosy as argument in subject line
589 - fixed back_bsddb so it passed the journal tests
590 - fixed status changes in mail gateway (eg. unread -> chatting)
591 - we'll actually distribute the frontends directory now, as advertised...
592 - handle stripping of "AW:" from subject line
593 - htmltemplate list() wasn't sorting...
594 - unit tests for html templating (and re-enabled the listbox field for
595 multilinks)
596 - allow abbreviation of "help" in admin tool too.
597 - run_tests testReldate_date failed if LANG is 'german'
598 - mailgw failures (unexpected ones) are forwarded to the roundup admin
601 2002-01-16 - 0.4.0b2
602 Fixed:
603 - #495392 ] empty nosy -patch
604 - #500574 ] messageid must have format <part1@part2>
605 - fixed some problems with web editing and change detection
606 - mail splitting wasn't detecting responses in the same "section" as quoted
607 text
608 - missed a "from i18n import _" in date.py
609 - #501690 ] MIGRATION.txt incomplete
610 - #502342 ] pipe interface
611 - #502437 ] rogue reactor and unittest
612 - re-enabled dumbdbm when using python >2.1.1 (ie 2.1.2, 2.2)
613 - changed all config accesses so they access either the instance or the
614 config attriubute on the db. This means that all config is obtained from
615 instance_config instead of the mish-mash of classes. This will make
616 switching to a ConfigParser setup easier too, I hope.
617 - #502951 ] adding new properties to old database
618 - #502953 ] nosy-like treatment of other multilinks
619 - #503164 ] create and passwords
620 - plain rendering of links in the htmltemplate now generate a hyperlink to
621 the linked node's page.
622 - #503330 ] ANONYMOUS_REGISTER now applies to mail
623 - #503353 ] setting properties in initial email
624 - #502956 ] filtering by multilink not supported
625 - #503340 ] creating issue with [asignedto=p.ohly]
626 - #502949 ] index view for non-issues and redisplay
627 - #503793 ] changing assignedto resets nosy list
628 - lots of date/interval related changes:
629 - more relaxed date format for input
630 - handle None for date/interval properties
633 2002-01-08 - 0.4.0b1
634 Feature:
635 - Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
636 the instance.
637 - Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
638 signature info in e-mails.
639 - Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
640 - Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
641 - Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
642 - We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
643 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
644 bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
645 lot more work anyway...
646 - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
647 single transaction
648 - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
649 if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
650 during the session (up to the last commit).
651 - Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
652 - Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
653 (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
654 - Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
655 - Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
656 needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
657 - much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
658 - #496356 ] Use threading in messages
659 This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
660 using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
661 feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
663 Fixed:
664 - Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
665 - login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
666 - Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
667 gateway.
668 - Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
669 on a failure)
670 - We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
671 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
672 - #487480 ] roundup-server
673 - #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
674 - #489760 ] [issue] only subject
675 - fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
676 - fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
677 - web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
678 - we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
679 this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
680 cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
681 - envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
682 delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
683 - #495400 ] entering blanks
684 Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
685 for details.
686 - #496360 ] table width does not work
687 - detectors were being registered multiple times
688 - added tests for mailgw
691 2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
692 Feature:
693 - #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
694 - #473123 ] Change message generation for author
695 - MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
696 - Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
697 - Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
698 - "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
699 - roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
700 - roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
701 - roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
702 - users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
703 - incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
704 e-mail
705 - added a target version field to the extended issue schema
706 - added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
707 translatable messages
709 Fixed:
710 - Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
711 - 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
712 - Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
713 - roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
714 - Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
715 - Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
716 - bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
717 - bug #474749 ] indentations lost
718 - bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
719 - bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
720 - bug #477687 ] conforming html
721 - bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
722 - bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
723 - bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
724 - bug #477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
725 - newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
726 - bug #479511 ] mailgw to pop
727 - bug #479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
728 - bad error report in hyperdb
729 - roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
730 of processing
731 - roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
732 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
733 an error message to the roundup admin.
734 - fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
735 - errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
736 squashed)
737 - re-open the database as the author in mail handling
738 - missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
741 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
742 Feature:
743 - MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
744 - feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
745 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
746 information is displayed.
747 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
748 - Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
749 - Tabular display of nodes.
750 - Import and export via colon-separated files.
752 Changed:
753 - re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
754 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
756 Fixed:
757 - Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
758 - CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
759 - Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
760 - Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
761 - Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
762 - Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
763 - Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
764 - bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
765 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
766 - bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
767 as numbers now.
768 - bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
769 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
770 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
771 - bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
772 - bug #473126: Sender unknown
773 - bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
776 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
777 Fixed:
778 - Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
779 property values. This broke a lot of things.
782 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
783 Feature:
784 - roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
785 on the command-line.
786 - hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
787 properties.
788 - CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
790 Changed:
791 - Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
792 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
793 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
794 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
795 - The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
796 - The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
797 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
798 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
799 - Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
800 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
801 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
802 number of encoding systems.
803 - The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
804 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
805 documentation for details.)
807 Fixed:
808 - Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
809 Ping - has been removed.
810 - Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
811 - Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
812 - AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
813 - Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
814 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
815 - Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
816 an item now throws an exception.
817 - The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
818 - Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
822 --------------
824 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
825 Fixed:
826 - Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
827 - Missing import in mailgw.
830 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
831 Feature:
832 - Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
833 regular expressions now.
835 Fixed:
836 - Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
837 - Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
838 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
839 - Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
840 - Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
841 that the change note message is actually genrated.
842 - CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
843 - Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
844 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
845 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
846 - Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
847 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
848 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
851 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
852 Note:
853 - Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
855 Feature:
856 - Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
857 with bugs in roundup.init!
858 - Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
859 the tests.
860 - Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
862 Fixed:
863 - Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
864 signatures now too.
865 - Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
866 - Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
867 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
868 - Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
869 - Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
870 module name for the instances on import time.
873 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
874 Note:
875 - The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
876 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
878 Fixed:
879 - Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
880 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
883 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
884 Features:
885 - Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
886 should be linked somewhere.
887 - Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
888 - Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
889 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
890 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
891 cleanup the header up.
892 - Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
893 - Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
894 are displayed.
895 - Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
896 rebuild.
897 - Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
898 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
899 - Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
900 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
901 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
902 instructions, etc).
904 Fixed:
905 - Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
906 - Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
907 - Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
908 - Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
909 - 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
910 - mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
911 was creating nodes for.
912 - remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
913 - Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
914 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
915 names.
918 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
919 Big change:
920 - I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
921 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
922 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
923 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
924 code in "extended" either way.
926 Features:
927 - Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
928 we do anything distutils'y.
929 - Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
930 - Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
931 help and better command-line arg handling.
932 - The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
933 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
934 - Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
936 Fixed:
937 - One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
938 - Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
939 hard-coded to "issue".
940 - templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
941 - The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
942 properly.

952 tests for multipart splitting.
953 - Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
954 - Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
955 - Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
956 - Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
957 - Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
958 behaviour.
959 - Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.

987 strict about such things.
989 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0

992 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
993 back-ends.
994 - Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
995 out-of-the-box

1014 - Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the

1016 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
1017 - Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
1018 - Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
1019 - Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link

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

1030 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
1031 - Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
1034 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
1035 - Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
1036 the priority column isn't displayed.
1037 - Thanks Anthony:
1038 - added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
1039 - added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
1040 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
1041 - python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
1042 - better handling of db directory in initDB
1043 - Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
1044 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
1045 properties, etc.
1046 - Set the default index to sort on activity

1053 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
1054 - Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
1055 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
1056 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
1057 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
