1 This file contains the changes to the Roundup system over time. The entries
2 are given with the most recent entry first.
4 2002-01-?? - 0.4.0??
5 Feature:
6 . much nicer history display (actualy real handling of property types etc)
7 . journal entries for link and mutlilink properties can be switched on or
8 off
9 . properties in change note are now sorted
10 . the mail gateway now responds with an error message when invalid values
11 for arguments are specified for link or mutlilink properties.
12 . modified unit test to check nosy and assignedto when specified as
13 arguments
14 . you can now use the roundup-admin tool pack the database
15 . unit tests for html templating (and re-enabled the listbox field for
16 multilinks)
18 Fixed:
19 . handle attachments with no name (eg tnef)
20 . fixed setting nosy as argument in subject line
21 . fixed back_bsddb so it passed the journal tests
23 2002-01-16 - 0.4.0b2
24 Fixed:
25 . #495392 ] empty nosy -patch
26 . #500574 ] messageid must have format <part1@part2>
27 . fixed some problems with web editing and change detection
28 . mail splitting wasn't detecting responses in the same "section" as quoted
29 text
30 . missed a "from i18n import _" in date.py
31 . #501690 ] MIGRATION.txt incomplete
32 . #502342 ] pipe interface
33 . #502437 ] rogue reactor and unittest
34 . re-enabled dumbdbm when using python >2.1.1 (ie 2.1.2, 2.2)
35 . changed all config accesses so they access either the instance or the
36 config attriubute on the db. This means that all config is obtained from
37 instance_config instead of the mish-mash of classes. This will make
38 switching to a ConfigParser setup easier too, I hope.
39 . #502951 ] adding new properties to old database
40 . #502953 ] nosy-like treatment of other multilinks
41 . #503164 ] create and passwords
42 . plain rendering of links in the htmltemplate now generate a hyperlink to
43 the linked node's page.
44 . #503330 ] ANONYMOUS_REGISTER now applies to mail
45 . #503353 ] setting properties in initial email
46 . #502956 ] filtering by multilink not supported
47 . #503340 ] creating issue with [asignedto=p.ohly]
48 . #502949 ] index view for non-issues and redisplay
49 . #503793 ] changing assignedto resets nosy list
50 . lots of date/interval related changes:
51 - more relaxed date format for input
52 - handle None for date/interval properties
55 2002-01-08 - 0.4.0b1
56 Feature:
57 . Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
58 the instance.
59 . Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
60 signature info in e-mails.
61 . Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
62 . Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
63 . Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
64 . We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
65 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
66 bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
67 lot more work anyway...
68 - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
69 single transaction
70 - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
71 if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
72 during the session (up to the last commit).
73 . Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
74 . Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
75 (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
76 . Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
77 . Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
78 needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
79 . much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
80 . #496356 ] Use threading in messages
81 This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
82 using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
83 feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
85 Fixed:
86 . Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
87 . login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
88 . Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
89 gateway.
90 . Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
91 on a failure)
92 . We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
93 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
94 . #487480 ] roundup-server
95 . #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
96 . #489760 ] [issue] only subject
97 . fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
98 . fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
99 . web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
100 . we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
101 this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
102 cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
103 . envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
104 delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
105 . #495400 ] entering blanks
106 Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
107 for details.
108 . #496360 ] table width does not work
109 . detectors were being registered multiple times
110 . added tests for mailgw
113 2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
114 Feature:
115 . #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
116 . #473123 ] Change message generation for author
117 . MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
118 . Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
119 . Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
120 . "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
121 . roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
122 . roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
123 . roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
124 . users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
125 . incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
126 e-mail
127 . added a target version field to the extended issue schema
128 . added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
129 translatable messages
131 Fixed:
132 . Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
133 . 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
134 . Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
135 . roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
136 . Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
137 . Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
138 . bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
139 . bug #474749 ] indentations lost
140 . bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
141 . bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
142 . bug #477687 ] conforming html
143 . bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
144 . bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
145 . bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
146 . bug #477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
147 . newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
148 . bug #479511 ] mailgw to pop
149 . bug #479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
150 . bad error report in hyperdb
151 . roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
152 of processing
153 . roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
154 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
155 an error message to the roundup admin.
156 . fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
157 . errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
158 squashed)
159 . re-open the database as the author in mail handling
160 . missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
163 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
164 Feature:
165 . MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
166 . feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
167 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
168 information is displayed.
169 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
170 . Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
171 . Tabular display of nodes.
172 . Import and export via colon-separated files.
174 Changed:
175 . re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
176 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
178 Fixed:
179 . Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
180 . CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
181 . Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
182 . Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
183 . Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
184 . Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
185 . Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
186 . bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
187 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
188 . bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
189 as numbers now.
190 . bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
191 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
192 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
193 . bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
194 . bug #473126: Sender unknown
195 . bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
198 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
199 Fixed:
200 . Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
201 property values. This broke a lot of things.
204 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
205 Feature:
206 . roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
207 on the command-line.
208 . hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
209 properties.
210 . CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
212 Changed:
213 . Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
214 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
215 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
216 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
217 . The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
218 . The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
219 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
220 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
221 . Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
222 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
223 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
224 number of encoding systems.
225 . The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
226 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
227 documentation for details.)
229 Fixed:
230 . Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
231 Ping - has been removed.
232 . Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
233 . Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
234 . AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
235 . Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
236 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
237 . Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
238 an item now throws an exception.
239 . The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
240 . Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
244 --------------
246 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
247 Fixed:
248 . Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
249 . Missing import in mailgw.
252 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
253 Feature:
254 . Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
255 regular expressions now.
257 Fixed:
258 . Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
259 . Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
260 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
261 . Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
262 . Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
263 that the change note message is actually genrated.
264 . CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
265 . Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
266 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
267 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
268 . Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
269 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
270 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
273 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
274 Note:
275 . Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
277 Feature:
278 . Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
279 with bugs in roundup.init!
280 . Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
281 the tests.
282 . Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
284 Fixed:
285 . Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
286 signatures now too.
287 . Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
288 . Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
289 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
290 . Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
291 . Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
292 module name for the instances on import time.
295 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
296 Note:
297 . The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
298 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
300 Fixed:
301 . Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
302 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
305 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
306 Features:
307 . Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
308 should be linked somewhere.
309 . Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
310 . Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
311 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
312 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
313 cleanup the header up.
314 . Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
315 . Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
316 are displayed.
317 . Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
318 rebuild.
319 . Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
320 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
321 . Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
322 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
323 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
324 instructions, etc).
326 Fixed:
327 . Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
328 . Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
329 . Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
330 . Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
331 . 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
332 . mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
333 was creating nodes for.
334 . remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
335 . Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
336 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
337 names.
340 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
341 Big change:
342 . I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
343 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
344 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
345 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
346 code in "extended" either way.
348 Features:
349 . Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
350 we do anything distutils'y.
351 . Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
352 . Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
353 help and better command-line arg handling.
354 . The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
355 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
356 . Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
358 Fixed:
359 . One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
360 . Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
361 hard-coded to "issue".
362 . templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
363 . The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
364 properly.
365 . The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
366 nodeid) properly.
369 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
370 Features:
371 . Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
372 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
373 . Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
374 tests for multipart splitting.
375 . Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
376 . Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
377 . Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
378 . Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
379 . Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
380 behaviour.
381 . Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
382 . Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
383 it).
385 Fixed:
386 . Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
387 . New issue form handles lack of note better now.
388 . HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
389 . Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
390 . Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
391 query elements.
392 . Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
393 changed now.
396 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
397 Features:
398 . Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
399 . Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
400 directory as "overview.html".
402 Fixes:
403 . Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
404 "html" directory in instance home.
405 . Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
406 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
407 There you go...
408 . Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
409 strict about such things.
411 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
412 Features:
413 . Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
414 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
415 back-ends.
416 . Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
417 out-of-the-box
418 . Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
419 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
420 . Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
421 . Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
422 out-of-the-box.
423 . Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
424 . Added some unit tests.
426 Fixes:
427 . Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
428 . Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
429 . Fixed adding new issue with no change note
430 . Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
431 quoted.
432 . Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
433 message.
435 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
436 . Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
437 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
438 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
439 . Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
440 . Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
441 . Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
442 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
443 . Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
444 . Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
445 . Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
446 columns to sort by to 2.
447 . Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
448 ^text - search for text at start of fields
449 text$ - search for text at end of fields
450 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
451 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
452 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
453 . Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
456 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
457 . Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
458 the priority column isn't displayed.
459 . Thanks Anthony:
460 . added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
461 . added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
462 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
463 . python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
464 . better handling of db directory in initDB
465 . Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
466 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
467 properties, etc.
468 . Set the default index to sort on activity
471 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
472 . Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
473 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
475 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
476 . Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
477 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
478 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
479 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
