5 - better hyperlinking in web message texts (sf bug 669777)
6 - support setting of properties on message and file through web and
7 email interface (thanks John Rouillard)
8 - allow additional control over the roundupdb email sending (explicit
9 cc addresses, different from address and different nosy list property)
10 (thanks John Rouillard)
11 - applied patch for nicer history display (sf feature 638280)
12 - cleaning old unused sessions only once per hour, not on every cgi
13 request. It is greatly improves web interface performance, especially
14 on trackers under high load

16 - fixes to CGI form handling
17 - switch metakit to use "compressed" multilink journal change representation
18 - fixed bug in metakit unlink journalling
19 - metakit now handles "unset" for most types (not Number and Boolean)
20 - fixed bug in metakit search-by-ID

22 converted from any encoding to utf-8, outgoing messages are encoded
23 according to rfc2822 (sf bug 568873)

191 - gadfly backend now handles changes to the schema - but only one property
192 at a time
193 - cgi.client base URL is now obtained from the config TRACKER_WEB

198 backends

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

220 - revamped user guide, customisation guide, added maintenance guide
221 - merge Zope Collector #538 fix from ZPT CVS trunk (path expressions with a

247 Fixed:
248 - #576086 ] dumb copying mistake (frontends/ZRoundup.py)

255 - cleanup: moved roundup.templatebuilder to roundup.templates.builder
256 - instance __init__ no longer silently traps dbinit import errors
258 Feature:
259 - new backend for metakit (thanks Gordon McMillan)
260 - new backend for gadfly (it's as done as it's going to get)
261 - further split the dbm backends from the core code, allowing easier
262 non-dict-like backends (eg metakit, RDB)
263 - implemented and used the new access control mechanisms (Permissions, Roles)
264 (see doc/security.txt)
265 - switched templating to use Zope's PageTemplates (yay!)
266 - switched to sessions for web authentication

277 still visible
278 - we handle "not found", access and item page render errors better
279 - fixed double-submit by having new-item-submit redirect at end

283 - have roundup.cgi pick up tracker config from the environment
284 - revamped look and feel in web interface
285 - cleaned up stylesheet usage
286 - several bug fixes and documentation fixes
287 - added is_retired test to hyperdb.Class
288 - added capability to save queries:
289 - a query Class with name, klass (to search) and url (query string)
290 properties
291 - a Multilink to query on user called queries
292 - html templates for query, and a list of queries in user.item
293 - search form has Save button & name input
294 - saved queries put in menu in pagehead
295 - for migration, none of the above is required and old behavior preserved.
296 - showquery translates search form <-> query string
297 - cleaned up the indexer code:
298 - it splits more words out
299 - removed code we'll never use (roundup.roundup_indexer has the full
300 implementation, and replaces roundup.indexer)
301 - only index text/plain and rfc822/message (ideas for other text formats to
302 index are welcome)
303 - added simple unit test for indexer. Needs more tests for regression.
304 - all String properties may now be indexed too. Currently there's a bit of
305 "issue" specific code in the actual searching which needs to be
306 addressed. In a nutshell:
307 + pass 'indexme="yes"' as a String() property initialisation arg, eg:
308 file = FileClass(db, "file", name=String(), type=String(),
309 comment=String(indexme="yes"))
310 + the comment will then be indexed and be searchable, with the results
311 related back to the issue that the file is linked to
312 - as a result of this work, the FileClass has a default MIME type that may
313 be overridden in a subclass, or by the use of a "type" property as is
314 done in the default templates.
315 - the regeneration of the indexes (if necessary) is done once the schema is
316 set up in the dbinit.
317 - new "reindex" command in roundup-admin used to force regeneration of the
318 index
319 - added email display function - mangles email addrs so they're not so easily
320 scraped from the web
321 - switched to using a session-based web login
322 - made mailgw handle set and modify operations on multilinks (bug #579094)
323 - fixed the journal bloat from multilink changes - we just log the add or
324 remove operations, not the whole list
327 2002-06-24 0.4.2
328 Fixed:
329 - Cleaned up the hyperdb unit tests.
330 - Applied patch from Andrew W. Nosenko to give nicer Unauthorised message
331 when anonymous user tries to edit. Should've been applied in 0.4.2pr1. Oops.
332 - Added more detailed note to MIGRATION regarding the detectors changes.
335 2002-06-19 0.4.2pr1
336 Feature:
337 - added a "detectors" directory for people to put their useful auditors and
338 reactors in. Note - the roundupdb.IssueClass.sendmessage method has been
339 split and renamed "nosymessage" specifically for things like the nosy
340 reactor, and "send_message" which just sends the message.
341 - link() htmltemplate function now has a "showid" option for links and
342 multilinks. When true, it only displays the linked node id as the anchor
343 text. The link value is displayed as a tooltip using the title anchor
344 attribute.
345 To use in eg. the superseder field, have something like this:
346 <td>
347 <display call="field('superseder', showid=1)">
348 <display call="classhelp('issue', 'id,title', label='list', width=500)">
349 <property name="superseder">
350 <br>View: <display call="link('superseder', showid=1)">
351 </property>
352 </td>
353 - stripping of the email message body can now be controlled through the
354 config variables EMAIL_KEEP_QUOTED_TEXT and EMAIL_LEAVE_BODY_UNCHANGED.
355 - all database files created are now group readable and writable.
356 - added option to automatically add the authors and recipients of messages
357 to the nosy lists with the options ADD_AUTHOR_TO_NOSY (default 'new') and
358 ADD_RECIPIENTS_TO_NOSY (default 'new'). These settings emulate the current
359 behaviour. Setting them to 'yes' will add the author/recipients to the nosy
360 on messages that create issues and followup messages.
361 - reverting to dates for intervals > 2 months sucks
362 - changed the default message list in issues to display the message body
363 - applied patch #558876 ] cgi client customization
364 - split instance initialisation into two steps, allowing config changes
365 before the database is initialised.
366 - don't create an empty message on email issue creation if the email is empty
367 - may now display additional fields in Multilink form menus
368 - #541941 ] changing multilink properties by mail
369 - #526730 ] search for messages capability
370 - #505180 ] split MailGW.handle_Message
371 - also changed cgi client since it was duplicating the functionality
373 Fixed:
374 - stop sending blank (whitespace-only) notes
375 - cleanup of serialisation for database storage
376 - node ids are now generated from a lockable store - no more race conditions
377 - sorting was applied to all nodes of the MultiLink class instead of
378 to the nodes that are actually linked to in the "field" template
379 function. This adds about 20+ seconds in the display of an issue if
380 your database has a 1000 or more issues in it.
381 - added missing documentation for a few of the config option values
382 - file upload broke if you didn't supply a change note
383 - fixed SCRIPT_NAME in ZRoundup for instances not at top level of Zope
384 (thanks dman)
385 - fixed some sorting issues that were breaking some unit tests under py2.2
386 - mailgw test output dir was confusing the init test (but only on 2.2 *shrug*)
387 - node caching now works, and gives a small boost in performance
388 - #449374 ] re-enable bsddb3 backend
389 bsddb3 backend now works, reinstating
390 - #551483 ] assignedto in Client.make_index_link
391 - made backends.__init__ be more specific about which ImportErrors it really
392 wants to ignore
393 - fixed the example addresses in the templates to use correct example domains
394 - cleaned out the template stylesheets, removing a bunch of junk that really
395 wasn't necessary (font specs, styles never used) and added a style for
396 message content
397 - build htmlbase if tests are run using CVS checkout
398 - #565979 ] code error in hyperdb.Class.find
399 - #565996 ] The "Attach a File to this Issue" fails
400 - #564271 ] find() and new properties
401 - #562130 ] cookie path generated from ZRoundup was wrong in some situations
402 - remove CR characters embedded in messages (ZRoundup)
403 - properly quote the email address and "real name" in all situations using the
404 'email' module if it is available and 'rfc822' otherwise
405 - #565992 ] if ISSUE_TRACKER_WEB doesn't have the trailing '/', add it
406 - use the rfc822 module to ensure that every (oddball) email address and
407 real-name is properly quoted
408 - #558867 ] ZRoundup redirect /instance requests to /instance/
409 - #569415 ] {version}
410 - #569178 ] type error
411 was fixed as part of the general cleanup of reactors
414 2002-03-25 - 0.4.1
415 Feature:
416 - use blobfiles in back_anydbm which is used in back_bsddb.
417 change test_db as dirlist does not work for subdirectories.
418 ATTENTION: blobfiles now creates subdirectories for files.
419 - add module blobfiles in backends with file access functions.
420 - roundup db catch only IOError in getfile.
421 - roundup db catches retrieving not existing files.
422 - #503204 ] mailgw needs a default class
423 - partially done - the setting of additional properties can wait for a
424 better configuration system.
425 - Alternate email addresses are now available for users. See the MIGRATION
426 file for info on how to activate the feature.
427 - #511168 ] Web interface: Adding new products
428 Classes that don't provide template html get a default edit interface now:
429 - access using the admin "class list" interface
430 - limited to admin-only
431 - requires the csv module from object-craft (url given if it's missing)
432 - Added popup help for classes using the classhelp html template function.
433 - add <display call="classhelp('priority', 'id,name,description')">
434 to an item page, and it generates a link to a popup window which displays
435 the id, name and description for the priority class. The description
436 field won't exist in most installations, but it will be added to the
437 default templates.
438 - #517734 ] web header customisation is obscure
439 - All messages sent to the nosy list are now encoded as
440 quoted-printable before they are sent.
441 - Fixed display of mutlilink properties when using the template
442 functions, menu and plain.
444 Fixed:
445 - Clean up mail handling, multipart handling.
446 - respect encodings in non multipart messages.
447 - makeHtmlBase: re.sub under python 2.2 did not replace '.', string.replace
448 does it.
449 - preamble in tepmlateBuilder mentioned htmldata
450 - mailgw checks encoding on first part too.
451 - #511586 ] unittest FAIL: testReldate_date
452 - Added a uniquely Roundup header to email, "X-Roundup-Name"
453 - All forms now have "double-submit" protection when Javascript is enabled
454 on the client-side.
455 - #516883 ] mail interface + ANONYMOUS_REGISTER
456 - #516854 ] "My Issues" and redisplay
457 - #517906 ] Attribute order in "View customisation"
458 - #514854 ] History: "User" is always ticket creator
459 - wasn't handling cvs parser feeding correctly
460 - fixed some problems in date calculations (calendar.py doesn't handle over-
461 and under-flow). Also, hour/minute/second intervals may now be more than
462 99 each.
463 - #527416 ] roundup-admin uses undefined value
464 - #527503 ] unfriendly init blowup when parent dir
465 (also handles UsageError correctly now in init)
466 - #524129 ] roundup-admin gets python path wrong
469 2002-01-24 - 0.4.0
470 Feature:
471 - much nicer history display (actualy real handling of property types etc)
472 - journal entries for link and mutlilink properties can be switched on or
473 off
474 - properties in change note are now sorted
475 - you can now use the roundup-admin tool pack the database
477 Fixed:
478 - the mail gateway now responds with an error message when invalid values
479 for arguments are specified for link or mutlilink properties
480 - modified unit test to check nosy and assignedto when specified as arguments
481 - handle attachments with no name (eg tnef)
482 - fixed setting nosy as argument in subject line
483 - fixed back_bsddb so it passed the journal tests
484 - fixed status changes in mail gateway (eg. unread -> chatting)
485 - we'll actually distribute the frontends directory now, as advertised...
486 - handle stripping of "AW:" from subject line
487 - htmltemplate list() wasn't sorting...
488 - unit tests for html templating (and re-enabled the listbox field for
489 multilinks)
490 - allow abbreviation of "help" in admin tool too.
491 - run_tests testReldate_date failed if LANG is 'german'
492 - mailgw failures (unexpected ones) are forwarded to the roundup admin
495 2002-01-16 - 0.4.0b2
496 Fixed:
497 - #495392 ] empty nosy -patch
498 - #500574 ] messageid must have format <part1@part2>
499 - fixed some problems with web editing and change detection
500 - mail splitting wasn't detecting responses in the same "section" as quoted
501 text
502 - missed a "from i18n import _" in date.py
503 - #501690 ] MIGRATION.txt incomplete
504 - #502342 ] pipe interface
505 - #502437 ] rogue reactor and unittest
506 - re-enabled dumbdbm when using python >2.1.1 (ie 2.1.2, 2.2)
507 - changed all config accesses so they access either the instance or the
508 config attriubute on the db. This means that all config is obtained from
509 instance_config instead of the mish-mash of classes. This will make
510 switching to a ConfigParser setup easier too, I hope.
511 - #502951 ] adding new properties to old database
512 - #502953 ] nosy-like treatment of other multilinks
513 - #503164 ] create and passwords
514 - plain rendering of links in the htmltemplate now generate a hyperlink to
515 the linked node's page.
516 - #503330 ] ANONYMOUS_REGISTER now applies to mail
517 - #503353 ] setting properties in initial email
518 - #502956 ] filtering by multilink not supported
519 - #503340 ] creating issue with [asignedto=p.ohly]
520 - #502949 ] index view for non-issues and redisplay
521 - #503793 ] changing assignedto resets nosy list
522 - lots of date/interval related changes:
523 - more relaxed date format for input
524 - handle None for date/interval properties
527 2002-01-08 - 0.4.0b1
528 Feature:
529 - Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
530 the instance.
531 - Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
532 signature info in e-mails.
533 - Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
534 - Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
535 - Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
536 - We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
537 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
538 bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
539 lot more work anyway...
540 - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
541 single transaction
542 - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
543 if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
544 during the session (up to the last commit).
545 - Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
546 - Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
547 (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
548 - Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
549 - Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
550 needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
551 - much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
552 - #496356 ] Use threading in messages
553 This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
554 using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
555 feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
557 Fixed:
558 - Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
559 - login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
560 - Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
561 gateway.
562 - Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
563 on a failure)
564 - We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
565 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
566 - #487480 ] roundup-server
567 - #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
568 - #489760 ] [issue] only subject
569 - fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
570 - fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
571 - web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
572 - we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
573 this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
574 cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
575 - envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
576 delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
577 - #495400 ] entering blanks
578 Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
579 for details.
580 - #496360 ] table width does not work
581 - detectors were being registered multiple times
582 - added tests for mailgw
585 2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
586 Feature:
587 - #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
588 - #473123 ] Change message generation for author
589 - MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
590 - Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
591 - Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
592 - "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
593 - roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
594 - roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
595 - roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
596 - users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
597 - incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
598 e-mail
599 - added a target version field to the extended issue schema
600 - added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
601 translatable messages
603 Fixed:
604 - Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
605 - 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
606 - Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
607 - roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
608 - Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
609 - Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
610 - bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
611 - bug #474749 ] indentations lost
612 - bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
613 - bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
614 - bug #477687 ] conforming html
615 - bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
616 - bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
617 - bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
618 - bug #477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
619 - newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
620 - bug #479511 ] mailgw to pop
621 - bug #479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
622 - bad error report in hyperdb
623 - roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
624 of processing
625 - roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
626 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
627 an error message to the roundup admin.
628 - fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
629 - errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
630 squashed)
631 - re-open the database as the author in mail handling
632 - missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
635 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
636 Feature:
637 - MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
638 - feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
639 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
640 information is displayed.
641 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
642 - Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
643 - Tabular display of nodes.
644 - Import and export via colon-separated files.
646 Changed:
647 - re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
648 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
650 Fixed:
651 - Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
652 - CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
653 - Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
654 - Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
655 - Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
656 - Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
657 - Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
658 - bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
659 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
660 - bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
661 as numbers now.
662 - bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
663 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
664 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
665 - bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
666 - bug #473126: Sender unknown
667 - bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
670 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
671 Fixed:
672 - Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
673 property values. This broke a lot of things.
676 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
677 Feature:
678 - roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
679 on the command-line.
680 - hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
681 properties.
682 - CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
684 Changed:
685 - Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
686 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
687 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
688 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
689 - The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
690 - The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
691 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
692 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
693 - Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
694 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
695 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
696 number of encoding systems.
697 - The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
698 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
699 documentation for details.)
701 Fixed:
702 - Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
703 Ping - has been removed.
704 - Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
705 - Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
706 - AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
707 - Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
708 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
709 - Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
710 an item now throws an exception.
711 - The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
712 - Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
716 --------------
718 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
719 Fixed:
720 - Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
721 - Missing import in mailgw.
724 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
725 Feature:
726 - Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
727 regular expressions now.
729 Fixed:
730 - Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
731 - Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
732 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
733 - Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
734 - Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
735 that the change note message is actually genrated.
736 - CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
737 - Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
738 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
739 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
740 - Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
741 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
742 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
745 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
746 Note:
747 - Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
749 Feature:
750 - Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
751 with bugs in roundup.init!
752 - Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
753 the tests.
754 - Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
756 Fixed:
757 - Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
758 signatures now too.
759 - Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
760 - Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
761 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
762 - Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
763 - Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
764 module name for the instances on import time.
767 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
768 Note:
769 - The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
770 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
772 Fixed:
773 - Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
774 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
777 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
778 Features:
779 - Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
780 should be linked somewhere.
781 - Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
782 - Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
783 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
784 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
785 cleanup the header up.
786 - Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
787 - Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
788 are displayed.
789 - Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
790 rebuild.
791 - Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
792 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
793 - Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
794 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
795 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
796 instructions, etc).
798 Fixed:
799 - Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
800 - Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
801 - Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
802 - Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
803 - 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
804 - mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
805 was creating nodes for.
806 - remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
807 - Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
808 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
809 names.
812 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
813 Big change:
814 - I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
815 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
816 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
817 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
818 code in "extended" either way.
820 Features:
821 - Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
822 we do anything distutils'y.
823 - Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
824 - Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
825 help and better command-line arg handling.
826 - The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
827 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
828 - Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
830 Fixed:
831 - One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
832 - Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
833 hard-coded to "issue".
834 - templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
835 - The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
836 properly.
837 - The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
838 nodeid) properly.
841 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
842 Features:
843 - Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
844 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
845 - Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
846 tests for multipart splitting.
847 - Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
848 - Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
849 - Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
850 - Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
851 - Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
852 behaviour.
853 - Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
854 - Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
855 it).
857 Fixed:
858 - Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
859 - New issue form handles lack of note better now.
860 - HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
861 - Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
862 - Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
863 query elements.
864 - Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
865 changed now.
868 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
869 Features:
870 - Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
871 - Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
872 directory as "overview.html".
874 Fixes:
875 - Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
876 "html" directory in instance home.
877 - Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
878 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
879 There you go...
880 - Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
881 strict about such things.
883 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
884 Features:
885 - Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
886 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
887 back-ends.
888 - Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
889 out-of-the-box
890 - Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
891 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
892 - Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
893 - Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
894 out-of-the-box.
895 - Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
896 - Added some unit tests.
898 Fixes:
899 - Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
900 - Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
901 - Fixed adding new issue with no change note
902 - Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
903 quoted.
904 - Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
905 message.
907 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
908 - Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
909 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
910 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
911 - Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
912 - Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
913 - Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
914 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
915 - Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
916 - Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
917 - Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
918 columns to sort by to 2.
919 - Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
920 ^text - search for text at start of fields
921 text$ - search for text at end of fields
922 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
923 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
924 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
925 - Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
928 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
929 - Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
930 the priority column isn't displayed.
931 - Thanks Anthony:
932 - added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
933 - added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
934 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
935 - python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
936 - better handling of db directory in initDB
937 - Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
938 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
939 properties, etc.
940 - Set the default index to sort on activity
943 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
944 - Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
945 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
947 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
948 - Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
949 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
950 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
951 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
