47 (thanks John Rouillard)
48 - applied patch for nicer history display (sf feature 638280)

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

386 - a query Class with name, klass (to search) and url (query string)
387 properties
388 - a Multilink to query on user called queries
389 - html templates for query, and a list of queries in user.item
390 - search form has Save button & name input
391 - saved queries put in menu in pagehead
392 - for migration, none of the above is required and old behavior preserved.
393 - showquery translates search form <-> query string
394 - cleaned up the indexer code:
395 - it splits more words out
396 - removed code we'll never use (roundup.roundup_indexer has the full
397 implementation, and replaces roundup.indexer)
398 - only index text/plain and rfc822/message (ideas for other text formats to
399 index are welcome)
400 - added simple unit test for indexer. Needs more tests for regression.
401 - all String properties may now be indexed too. Currently there's a bit of
402 "issue" specific code in the actual searching which needs to be
403 addressed. In a nutshell:
404 + pass 'indexme="yes"' as a String() property initialisation arg, eg:
405 file = FileClass(db, "file", name=String(), type=String(),
406 comment=String(indexme="yes"))
407 + the comment will then be indexed and be searchable, with the results
408 related back to the issue that the file is linked to
409 - as a result of this work, the FileClass has a default MIME type that may
410 be overridden in a subclass, or by the use of a "type" property as is
411 done in the default templates.
412 - the regeneration of the indexes (if necessary) is done once the schema is
413 set up in the dbinit.
414 - new "reindex" command in roundup-admin used to force regeneration of the
415 index
416 - added email display function - mangles email addrs so they're not so easily
417 scraped from the web
418 - switched to using a session-based web login
419 - made mailgw handle set and modify operations on multilinks (bug #579094)
420 - fixed the journal bloat from multilink changes - we just log the add or
421 remove operations, not the whole list
424 2002-06-24 0.4.2
425 Fixed:
426 - Cleaned up the hyperdb unit tests.
427 - Applied patch from Andrew W. Nosenko to give nicer Unauthorised message
428 when anonymous user tries to edit. Should've been applied in 0.4.2pr1. Oops.
429 - Added more detailed note to MIGRATION regarding the detectors changes.
432 2002-06-19 0.4.2pr1
433 Feature:
434 - added a "detectors" directory for people to put their useful auditors and
435 reactors in. Note - the roundupdb.IssueClass.sendmessage method has been
436 split and renamed "nosymessage" specifically for things like the nosy
437 reactor, and "send_message" which just sends the message.
438 - link() htmltemplate function now has a "showid" option for links and
439 multilinks. When true, it only displays the linked node id as the anchor
440 text. The link value is displayed as a tooltip using the title anchor
441 attribute.
442 To use in eg. the superseder field, have something like this:
443 <td>
444 <display call="field('superseder', showid=1)">
445 <display call="classhelp('issue', 'id,title', label='list', width=500)">
446 <property name="superseder">
447 <br>View: <display call="link('superseder', showid=1)">
448 </property>
449 </td>
450 - stripping of the email message body can now be controlled through the
451 config variables EMAIL_KEEP_QUOTED_TEXT and EMAIL_LEAVE_BODY_UNCHANGED.
452 - all database files created are now group readable and writable.
453 - added option to automatically add the authors and recipients of messages
454 to the nosy lists with the options ADD_AUTHOR_TO_NOSY (default 'new') and
455 ADD_RECIPIENTS_TO_NOSY (default 'new'). These settings emulate the current
456 behaviour. Setting them to 'yes' will add the author/recipients to the nosy
457 on messages that create issues and followup messages.
458 - reverting to dates for intervals > 2 months sucks
459 - changed the default message list in issues to display the message body
460 - applied patch #558876 ] cgi client customization
461 - split instance initialisation into two steps, allowing config changes
462 before the database is initialised.
463 - don't create an empty message on email issue creation if the email is empty
464 - may now display additional fields in Multilink form menus
465 - #541941 ] changing multilink properties by mail
466 - #526730 ] search for messages capability
467 - #505180 ] split MailGW.handle_Message
468 - also changed cgi client since it was duplicating the functionality
470 Fixed:
471 - stop sending blank (whitespace-only) notes
472 - cleanup of serialisation for database storage
473 - node ids are now generated from a lockable store - no more race conditions
474 - sorting was applied to all nodes of the MultiLink class instead of
475 to the nodes that are actually linked to in the "field" template
476 function. This adds about 20+ seconds in the display of an issue if
477 your database has a 1000 or more issues in it.
478 - added missing documentation for a few of the config option values
479 - file upload broke if you didn't supply a change note
480 - fixed SCRIPT_NAME in ZRoundup for instances not at top level of Zope
481 (thanks dman)
482 - fixed some sorting issues that were breaking some unit tests under py2.2
483 - mailgw test output dir was confusing the init test (but only on 2.2 *shrug*)
484 - node caching now works, and gives a small boost in performance
485 - #449374 ] re-enable bsddb3 backend
486 bsddb3 backend now works, reinstating
487 - #551483 ] assignedto in Client.make_index_link
488 - made backends.__init__ be more specific about which ImportErrors it really
489 wants to ignore
490 - fixed the example addresses in the templates to use correct example domains
491 - cleaned out the template stylesheets, removing a bunch of junk that really
492 wasn't necessary (font specs, styles never used) and added a style for
493 message content
494 - build htmlbase if tests are run using CVS checkout
495 - #565979 ] code error in hyperdb.Class.find
496 - #565996 ] The "Attach a File to this Issue" fails
497 - #564271 ] find() and new properties
498 - #562130 ] cookie path generated from ZRoundup was wrong in some situations
499 - remove CR characters embedded in messages (ZRoundup)
500 - properly quote the email address and "real name" in all situations using the
501 'email' module if it is available and 'rfc822' otherwise
502 - #565992 ] if ISSUE_TRACKER_WEB doesn't have the trailing '/', add it
503 - use the rfc822 module to ensure that every (oddball) email address and
504 real-name is properly quoted
505 - #558867 ] ZRoundup redirect /instance requests to /instance/
506 - #569415 ] {version}
507 - #569178 ] type error
508 was fixed as part of the general cleanup of reactors
511 2002-03-25 - 0.4.1
512 Feature:
513 - use blobfiles in back_anydbm which is used in back_bsddb.
514 change test_db as dirlist does not work for subdirectories.
515 ATTENTION: blobfiles now creates subdirectories for files.
516 - add module blobfiles in backends with file access functions.
517 - roundup db catch only IOError in getfile.
518 - roundup db catches retrieving not existing files.
519 - #503204 ] mailgw needs a default class
520 - partially done - the setting of additional properties can wait for a
521 better configuration system.
522 - Alternate email addresses are now available for users. See the MIGRATION
523 file for info on how to activate the feature.
524 - #511168 ] Web interface: Adding new products
525 Classes that don't provide template html get a default edit interface now:
526 - access using the admin "class list" interface
527 - limited to admin-only
528 - requires the csv module from object-craft (url given if it's missing)
529 - Added popup help for classes using the classhelp html template function.
530 - add <display call="classhelp('priority', 'id,name,description')">
531 to an item page, and it generates a link to a popup window which displays
532 the id, name and description for the priority class. The description
533 field won't exist in most installations, but it will be added to the
534 default templates.
535 - #517734 ] web header customisation is obscure
536 - All messages sent to the nosy list are now encoded as
537 quoted-printable before they are sent.
538 - Fixed display of mutlilink properties when using the template
539 functions, menu and plain.
541 Fixed:
542 - Clean up mail handling, multipart handling.
543 - respect encodings in non multipart messages.
544 - makeHtmlBase: re.sub under python 2.2 did not replace '.', string.replace
545 does it.
546 - preamble in tepmlateBuilder mentioned htmldata
547 - mailgw checks encoding on first part too.
548 - #511586 ] unittest FAIL: testReldate_date
549 - Added a uniquely Roundup header to email, "X-Roundup-Name"
550 - All forms now have "double-submit" protection when Javascript is enabled
551 on the client-side.
552 - #516883 ] mail interface + ANONYMOUS_REGISTER
553 - #516854 ] "My Issues" and redisplay
554 - #517906 ] Attribute order in "View customisation"
555 - #514854 ] History: "User" is always ticket creator
556 - wasn't handling cvs parser feeding correctly
557 - fixed some problems in date calculations (calendar.py doesn't handle over-
558 and under-flow). Also, hour/minute/second intervals may now be more than
559 99 each.
560 - #527416 ] roundup-admin uses undefined value
561 - #527503 ] unfriendly init blowup when parent dir
562 (also handles UsageError correctly now in init)
563 - #524129 ] roundup-admin gets python path wrong
566 2002-01-24 - 0.4.0
567 Feature:
568 - much nicer history display (actualy real handling of property types etc)
569 - journal entries for link and mutlilink properties can be switched on or
570 off
571 - properties in change note are now sorted
572 - you can now use the roundup-admin tool pack the database
574 Fixed:
575 - the mail gateway now responds with an error message when invalid values
576 for arguments are specified for link or mutlilink properties
577 - modified unit test to check nosy and assignedto when specified as arguments
578 - handle attachments with no name (eg tnef)
579 - fixed setting nosy as argument in subject line
580 - fixed back_bsddb so it passed the journal tests
581 - fixed status changes in mail gateway (eg. unread -> chatting)
582 - we'll actually distribute the frontends directory now, as advertised...
583 - handle stripping of "AW:" from subject line
584 - htmltemplate list() wasn't sorting...
585 - unit tests for html templating (and re-enabled the listbox field for
586 multilinks)
587 - allow abbreviation of "help" in admin tool too.
588 - run_tests testReldate_date failed if LANG is 'german'
589 - mailgw failures (unexpected ones) are forwarded to the roundup admin
592 2002-01-16 - 0.4.0b2
593 Fixed:
594 - #495392 ] empty nosy -patch
595 - #500574 ] messageid must have format <part1@part2>
596 - fixed some problems with web editing and change detection
597 - mail splitting wasn't detecting responses in the same "section" as quoted
598 text
599 - missed a "from i18n import _" in date.py
600 - #501690 ] MIGRATION.txt incomplete
601 - #502342 ] pipe interface
602 - #502437 ] rogue reactor and unittest
603 - re-enabled dumbdbm when using python >2.1.1 (ie 2.1.2, 2.2)
604 - changed all config accesses so they access either the instance or the
605 config attriubute on the db. This means that all config is obtained from
606 instance_config instead of the mish-mash of classes. This will make
607 switching to a ConfigParser setup easier too, I hope.
608 - #502951 ] adding new properties to old database
609 - #502953 ] nosy-like treatment of other multilinks
610 - #503164 ] create and passwords
611 - plain rendering of links in the htmltemplate now generate a hyperlink to
612 the linked node's page.
613 - #503330 ] ANONYMOUS_REGISTER now applies to mail
614 - #503353 ] setting properties in initial email
615 - #502956 ] filtering by multilink not supported
616 - #503340 ] creating issue with [asignedto=p.ohly]
617 - #502949 ] index view for non-issues and redisplay
618 - #503793 ] changing assignedto resets nosy list
619 - lots of date/interval related changes:
620 - more relaxed date format for input
621 - handle None for date/interval properties
624 2002-01-08 - 0.4.0b1
625 Feature:
626 - Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
627 the instance.
628 - Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
629 signature info in e-mails.
630 - Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
631 - Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
632 - Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
633 - We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
634 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
635 bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
636 lot more work anyway...
637 - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
638 single transaction
639 - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
640 if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
641 during the session (up to the last commit).
642 - Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
643 - Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
644 (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
645 - Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
646 - Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
647 needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
648 - much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
649 - #496356 ] Use threading in messages
650 This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
651 using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
652 feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
654 Fixed:
655 - Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
656 - login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
657 - Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
658 gateway.
659 - Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
660 on a failure)
661 - We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
662 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
663 - #487480 ] roundup-server
664 - #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
665 - #489760 ] [issue] only subject
666 - fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
667 - fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
668 - web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
669 - we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
670 this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
671 cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
672 - envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
673 delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
674 - #495400 ] entering blanks
675 Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
676 for details.
677 - #496360 ] table width does not work
678 - detectors were being registered multiple times
679 - added tests for mailgw
682 2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
683 Feature:
684 - #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
685 - #473123 ] Change message generation for author
686 - MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
687 - Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
688 - Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
689 - "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
690 - roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
691 - roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
692 - roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
693 - users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
694 - incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
695 e-mail
696 - added a target version field to the extended issue schema
697 - added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
698 translatable messages
700 Fixed:
701 - Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
702 - 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
703 - Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
704 - roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
705 - Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
706 - Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
707 - bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
708 - bug #474749 ] indentations lost
709 - bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
710 - bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
711 - bug #477687 ] conforming html
712 - bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
713 - bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
714 - bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
715 - bug #477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
716 - newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
717 - bug #479511 ] mailgw to pop
718 - bug #479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
719 - bad error report in hyperdb
720 - roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
721 of processing
722 - roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
723 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
724 an error message to the roundup admin.
725 - fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
726 - errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
727 squashed)
728 - re-open the database as the author in mail handling
729 - missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
732 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
733 Feature:
734 - MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
735 - feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
736 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
737 information is displayed.
738 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
739 - Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
740 - Tabular display of nodes.
741 - Import and export via colon-separated files.
743 Changed:
744 - re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
745 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
747 Fixed:
748 - Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
749 - CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
750 - Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
751 - Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
752 - Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
753 - Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
754 - Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
755 - bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
756 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
757 - bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
758 as numbers now.
759 - bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
760 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
761 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
762 - bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
763 - bug #473126: Sender unknown
764 - bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
767 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
768 Fixed:
769 - Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
770 property values. This broke a lot of things.
773 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
774 Feature:
775 - roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
776 on the command-line.
777 - hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
778 properties.
779 - CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
781 Changed:
782 - Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
783 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
784 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
785 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
786 - The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
787 - The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
788 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
789 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
790 - Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
791 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
792 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
793 number of encoding systems.
794 - The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
795 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
796 documentation for details.)
798 Fixed:
799 - Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
800 Ping - has been removed.
801 - Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
802 - Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
803 - AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
804 - Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
805 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
806 - Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
807 an item now throws an exception.
808 - The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
809 - Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
813 --------------
815 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
816 Fixed:
817 - Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
818 - Missing import in mailgw.
821 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
822 Feature:
823 - Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
824 regular expressions now.
826 Fixed:
827 - Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
828 - Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
829 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
830 - Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
831 - Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
832 that the change note message is actually genrated.
833 - CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
834 - Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
835 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
836 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
837 - Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
838 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
839 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
842 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
843 Note:
844 - Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
846 Feature:
847 - Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
848 with bugs in roundup.init!
849 - Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
850 the tests.
851 - Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
853 Fixed:
854 - Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
855 signatures now too.
856 - Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
857 - Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
858 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
859 - Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
860 - Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
861 module name for the instances on import time.
864 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
865 Note:
866 - The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
867 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
869 Fixed:
870 - Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
871 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
874 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
875 Features:
876 - Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
877 should be linked somewhere.
878 - Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
879 - Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
880 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
881 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
882 cleanup the header up.
883 - Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
884 - Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
885 are displayed.
886 - Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
887 rebuild.
888 - Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
889 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
890 - Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
891 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
892 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
893 instructions, etc).
895 Fixed:
896 - Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
897 - Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
898 - Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
899 - Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
900 - 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
901 - mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
902 was creating nodes for.
903 - remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
904 - Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
905 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
906 names.
909 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
910 Big change:
911 - I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
912 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
913 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
914 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
915 code in "extended" either way.
917 Features:
918 - Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
919 we do anything distutils'y.
920 - Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
921 - Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
922 help and better command-line arg handling.
923 - The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
924 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
925 - Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
927 Fixed:
928 - One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
929 - Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
930 hard-coded to "issue".
931 - templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
932 - The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
933 properly.
934 - The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
935 nodeid) properly.
938 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
939 Features:
940 - Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
941 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
942 - Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
943 tests for multipart splitting.
944 - Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
945 - Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
946 - Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
947 - Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
948 - Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
949 behaviour.
950 - Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
951 - Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
952 it).
954 Fixed:
955 - Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
956 - New issue form handles lack of note better now.
957 - HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
958 - Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
959 - Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
960 query elements.
961 - Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
962 changed now.
965 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
966 Features:
967 - Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
968 - Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
969 directory as "overview.html".
971 Fixes:
972 - Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
973 "html" directory in instance home.
974 - Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
975 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
976 There you go...
977 - Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
978 strict about such things.
980 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
981 Features:
982 - Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
983 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
984 back-ends.
985 - Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
986 out-of-the-box
987 - Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
988 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
989 - Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
990 - Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
991 out-of-the-box.
992 - Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
993 - Added some unit tests.
995 Fixes:
996 - Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
997 - Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
998 - Fixed adding new issue with no change note
999 - Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
1000 quoted.
1001 - Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
1002 message.
1004 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
1005 - Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
1006 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
1007 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
1008 - Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
1009 - Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
1010 - Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
1011 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
1012 - Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
1013 - Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
1014 - Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
1015 columns to sort by to 2.
1016 - Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
1017 ^text - search for text at start of fields
1018 text$ - search for text at end of fields
1019 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
1020 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
1021 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
1022 - Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
1025 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
1026 - Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
1027 the priority column isn't displayed.
1028 - Thanks Anthony:
1029 - added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
1030 - added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
1031 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
1032 - python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
1033 - better handling of db directory in initDB
1034 - Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
1035 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
1036 properties, etc.
1037 - Set the default index to sort on activity
1040 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
1041 - Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
1042 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
1044 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
1045 - Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
1046 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
1047 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
1048 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
