1 This file contains the changes to the Roundup system over time. The entries
2 are given with the most recent entry first.
4 2003-??-?? 0.6.0
5 Removed:
6 - having served its purpose as a template for other relational database
7 implementations, the gadfly backend has now been removed from the Roundup
8 distribution.
10 Feature:
11 - new instant-gratification Demo Mode in setup
12 - support setting of properties on message and file through web and
13 email interface (thanks John Rouillard)

15 cc addresses, different from address and different nosy list property)
16 (thanks John Rouillard)
17 - applied patch for nicer history display (sf feature 638280)
18 - cleaning old unused sessions only once per hour, not on every cgi

26 convered to GMT (see doc/upgrading.txt).
27 - added a form to show a specific issue
28 - more proper sorting/grouping on mulitilink properties. Sorting is performed
29 not only by number of links, but also by links itself. This makes usable
30 grouping e.g. by topic multilink

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

251 backends

256 - many performance improvements in *dbm and sql backends

301 - #576086 ] dumb copying mistake (frontends/ZRoundup.py)

311 Feature:
312 - new backend for metakit (thanks Gordon McMillan)
313 - new backend for gadfly (it's as done as it's going to get)
314 - further split the dbm backends from the core code, allowing easier
315 non-dict-like backends (eg metakit, RDB)
316 - implemented and used the new access control mechanisms (Permissions, Roles)
317 (see doc/security.txt)

336 - have roundup.cgi pick up tracker config from the environment
337 - revamped look and feel in web interface
338 - cleaned up stylesheet usage
339 - several bug fixes and documentation fixes
340 - added is_retired test to hyperdb.Class
341 - added capability to save queries:
342 - a query Class with name, klass (to search) and url (query string)
343 properties
344 - a Multilink to query on user called queries
345 - html templates for query, and a list of queries in user.item
346 - search form has Save button & name input
347 - saved queries put in menu in pagehead
348 - for migration, none of the above is required and old behavior preserved.
349 - showquery translates search form <-> query string
350 - cleaned up the indexer code:
351 - it splits more words out
352 - removed code we'll never use (roundup.roundup_indexer has the full
353 implementation, and replaces roundup.indexer)
354 - only index text/plain and rfc822/message (ideas for other text formats to
355 index are welcome)
356 - added simple unit test for indexer. Needs more tests for regression.
357 - all String properties may now be indexed too. Currently there's a bit of
358 "issue" specific code in the actual searching which needs to be
359 addressed. In a nutshell:
360 + pass 'indexme="yes"' as a String() property initialisation arg, eg:
361 file = FileClass(db, "file", name=String(), type=String(),
362 comment=String(indexme="yes"))
363 + the comment will then be indexed and be searchable, with the results
364 related back to the issue that the file is linked to
365 - as a result of this work, the FileClass has a default MIME type that may
366 be overridden in a subclass, or by the use of a "type" property as is
367 done in the default templates.
368 - the regeneration of the indexes (if necessary) is done once the schema is
369 set up in the dbinit.
370 - new "reindex" command in roundup-admin used to force regeneration of the
371 index
372 - added email display function - mangles email addrs so they're not so easily
373 scraped from the web
374 - switched to using a session-based web login
375 - made mailgw handle set and modify operations on multilinks (bug #579094)
376 - fixed the journal bloat from multilink changes - we just log the add or
377 remove operations, not the whole list
380 2002-06-24 0.4.2
381 Fixed:
382 - Cleaned up the hyperdb unit tests.
383 - Applied patch from Andrew W. Nosenko to give nicer Unauthorised message
384 when anonymous user tries to edit. Should've been applied in 0.4.2pr1. Oops.
385 - Added more detailed note to MIGRATION regarding the detectors changes.
388 2002-06-19 0.4.2pr1
389 Feature:
390 - added a "detectors" directory for people to put their useful auditors and
391 reactors in. Note - the roundupdb.IssueClass.sendmessage method has been
392 split and renamed "nosymessage" specifically for things like the nosy
393 reactor, and "send_message" which just sends the message.
394 - link() htmltemplate function now has a "showid" option for links and
395 multilinks. When true, it only displays the linked node id as the anchor
396 text. The link value is displayed as a tooltip using the title anchor
397 attribute.
398 To use in eg. the superseder field, have something like this:
399 <td>
400 <display call="field('superseder', showid=1)">
401 <display call="classhelp('issue', 'id,title', label='list', width=500)">
402 <property name="superseder">
403 <br>View: <display call="link('superseder', showid=1)">
404 </property>
405 </td>
406 - stripping of the email message body can now be controlled through the
407 config variables EMAIL_KEEP_QUOTED_TEXT and EMAIL_LEAVE_BODY_UNCHANGED.
408 - all database files created are now group readable and writable.
409 - added option to automatically add the authors and recipients of messages
410 to the nosy lists with the options ADD_AUTHOR_TO_NOSY (default 'new') and
411 ADD_RECIPIENTS_TO_NOSY (default 'new'). These settings emulate the current
412 behaviour. Setting them to 'yes' will add the author/recipients to the nosy
413 on messages that create issues and followup messages.
414 - reverting to dates for intervals > 2 months sucks
415 - changed the default message list in issues to display the message body
416 - applied patch #558876 ] cgi client customization
417 - split instance initialisation into two steps, allowing config changes
418 before the database is initialised.
419 - don't create an empty message on email issue creation if the email is empty
420 - may now display additional fields in Multilink form menus
421 - #541941 ] changing multilink properties by mail
422 - #526730 ] search for messages capability
423 - #505180 ] split MailGW.handle_Message
424 - also changed cgi client since it was duplicating the functionality
426 Fixed:
427 - stop sending blank (whitespace-only) notes
428 - cleanup of serialisation for database storage
429 - node ids are now generated from a lockable store - no more race conditions
430 - sorting was applied to all nodes of the MultiLink class instead of
431 to the nodes that are actually linked to in the "field" template
432 function. This adds about 20+ seconds in the display of an issue if
433 your database has a 1000 or more issues in it.
434 - added missing documentation for a few of the config option values
435 - file upload broke if you didn't supply a change note
436 - fixed SCRIPT_NAME in ZRoundup for instances not at top level of Zope
437 (thanks dman)
438 - fixed some sorting issues that were breaking some unit tests under py2.2
439 - mailgw test output dir was confusing the init test (but only on 2.2 *shrug*)
440 - node caching now works, and gives a small boost in performance
441 - #449374 ] re-enable bsddb3 backend
442 bsddb3 backend now works, reinstating
443 - #551483 ] assignedto in Client.make_index_link
444 - made backends.__init__ be more specific about which ImportErrors it really
445 wants to ignore
446 - fixed the example addresses in the templates to use correct example domains
447 - cleaned out the template stylesheets, removing a bunch of junk that really
448 wasn't necessary (font specs, styles never used) and added a style for
449 message content
450 - build htmlbase if tests are run using CVS checkout
451 - #565979 ] code error in hyperdb.Class.find
452 - #565996 ] The "Attach a File to this Issue" fails
453 - #564271 ] find() and new properties
454 - #562130 ] cookie path generated from ZRoundup was wrong in some situations
455 - remove CR characters embedded in messages (ZRoundup)
456 - properly quote the email address and "real name" in all situations using the
457 'email' module if it is available and 'rfc822' otherwise
458 - #565992 ] if ISSUE_TRACKER_WEB doesn't have the trailing '/', add it
459 - use the rfc822 module to ensure that every (oddball) email address and
460 real-name is properly quoted
461 - #558867 ] ZRoundup redirect /instance requests to /instance/
462 - #569415 ] {version}
463 - #569178 ] type error
464 was fixed as part of the general cleanup of reactors
467 2002-03-25 - 0.4.1
468 Feature:
469 - use blobfiles in back_anydbm which is used in back_bsddb.
470 change test_db as dirlist does not work for subdirectories.
471 ATTENTION: blobfiles now creates subdirectories for files.
472 - add module blobfiles in backends with file access functions.
473 - roundup db catch only IOError in getfile.
474 - roundup db catches retrieving not existing files.
475 - #503204 ] mailgw needs a default class
476 - partially done - the setting of additional properties can wait for a
477 better configuration system.
478 - Alternate email addresses are now available for users. See the MIGRATION
479 file for info on how to activate the feature.
480 - #511168 ] Web interface: Adding new products
481 Classes that don't provide template html get a default edit interface now:
482 - access using the admin "class list" interface
483 - limited to admin-only
484 - requires the csv module from object-craft (url given if it's missing)
485 - Added popup help for classes using the classhelp html template function.
486 - add <display call="classhelp('priority', 'id,name,description')">
487 to an item page, and it generates a link to a popup window which displays
488 the id, name and description for the priority class. The description
489 field won't exist in most installations, but it will be added to the
490 default templates.
491 - #517734 ] web header customisation is obscure
492 - All messages sent to the nosy list are now encoded as
493 quoted-printable before they are sent.
494 - Fixed display of mutlilink properties when using the template
495 functions, menu and plain.
497 Fixed:
498 - Clean up mail handling, multipart handling.
499 - respect encodings in non multipart messages.
500 - makeHtmlBase: re.sub under python 2.2 did not replace '.', string.replace
501 does it.
502 - preamble in tepmlateBuilder mentioned htmldata
503 - mailgw checks encoding on first part too.
504 - #511586 ] unittest FAIL: testReldate_date
505 - Added a uniquely Roundup header to email, "X-Roundup-Name"
506 - All forms now have "double-submit" protection when Javascript is enabled
507 on the client-side.
508 - #516883 ] mail interface + ANONYMOUS_REGISTER
509 - #516854 ] "My Issues" and redisplay
510 - #517906 ] Attribute order in "View customisation"
511 - #514854 ] History: "User" is always ticket creator
512 - wasn't handling cvs parser feeding correctly
513 - fixed some problems in date calculations (calendar.py doesn't handle over-
514 and under-flow). Also, hour/minute/second intervals may now be more than
515 99 each.
516 - #527416 ] roundup-admin uses undefined value
517 - #527503 ] unfriendly init blowup when parent dir
518 (also handles UsageError correctly now in init)
519 - #524129 ] roundup-admin gets python path wrong
522 2002-01-24 - 0.4.0
523 Feature:
524 - much nicer history display (actualy real handling of property types etc)
525 - journal entries for link and mutlilink properties can be switched on or
526 off
527 - properties in change note are now sorted
528 - you can now use the roundup-admin tool pack the database
530 Fixed:
531 - the mail gateway now responds with an error message when invalid values
532 for arguments are specified for link or mutlilink properties
533 - modified unit test to check nosy and assignedto when specified as arguments
534 - handle attachments with no name (eg tnef)
535 - fixed setting nosy as argument in subject line
536 - fixed back_bsddb so it passed the journal tests
537 - fixed status changes in mail gateway (eg. unread -> chatting)
538 - we'll actually distribute the frontends directory now, as advertised...
539 - handle stripping of "AW:" from subject line
540 - htmltemplate list() wasn't sorting...
541 - unit tests for html templating (and re-enabled the listbox field for
542 multilinks)
543 - allow abbreviation of "help" in admin tool too.
544 - run_tests testReldate_date failed if LANG is 'german'
545 - mailgw failures (unexpected ones) are forwarded to the roundup admin
548 2002-01-16 - 0.4.0b2
549 Fixed:
550 - #495392 ] empty nosy -patch
551 - #500574 ] messageid must have format <part1@part2>
552 - fixed some problems with web editing and change detection
553 - mail splitting wasn't detecting responses in the same "section" as quoted
554 text
555 - missed a "from i18n import _" in date.py
556 - #501690 ] MIGRATION.txt incomplete
557 - #502342 ] pipe interface
558 - #502437 ] rogue reactor and unittest
559 - re-enabled dumbdbm when using python >2.1.1 (ie 2.1.2, 2.2)
560 - changed all config accesses so they access either the instance or the
561 config attriubute on the db. This means that all config is obtained from
562 instance_config instead of the mish-mash of classes. This will make
563 switching to a ConfigParser setup easier too, I hope.
564 - #502951 ] adding new properties to old database
565 - #502953 ] nosy-like treatment of other multilinks
566 - #503164 ] create and passwords
567 - plain rendering of links in the htmltemplate now generate a hyperlink to
568 the linked node's page.
569 - #503330 ] ANONYMOUS_REGISTER now applies to mail
570 - #503353 ] setting properties in initial email
571 - #502956 ] filtering by multilink not supported
572 - #503340 ] creating issue with [asignedto=p.ohly]
573 - #502949 ] index view for non-issues and redisplay
574 - #503793 ] changing assignedto resets nosy list
575 - lots of date/interval related changes:
576 - more relaxed date format for input
577 - handle None for date/interval properties
580 2002-01-08 - 0.4.0b1
581 Feature:
582 - Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
583 the instance.
584 - Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
585 signature info in e-mails.
586 - Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
587 - Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
588 - Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
589 - We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
590 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
591 bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
592 lot more work anyway...
593 - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
594 single transaction
595 - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
596 if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
597 during the session (up to the last commit).
598 - Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
599 - Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
600 (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
601 - Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
602 - Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
603 needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
604 - much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
605 - #496356 ] Use threading in messages
606 This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
607 using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
608 feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
610 Fixed:
611 - Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
612 - login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
613 - Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
614 gateway.
615 - Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
616 on a failure)
617 - We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
618 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
619 - #487480 ] roundup-server
620 - #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
621 - #489760 ] [issue] only subject
622 - fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
623 - fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
624 - web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
625 - we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
626 this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
627 cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
628 - envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
629 delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
630 - #495400 ] entering blanks
631 Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
632 for details.
633 - #496360 ] table width does not work
634 - detectors were being registered multiple times
635 - added tests for mailgw
638 2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
639 Feature:
640 - #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
641 - #473123 ] Change message generation for author
642 - MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
643 - Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
644 - Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
645 - "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
646 - roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
647 - roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
648 - roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
649 - users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
650 - incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
651 e-mail
652 - added a target version field to the extended issue schema
653 - added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
654 translatable messages
656 Fixed:
657 - Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
658 - 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
659 - Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
660 - roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
661 - Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
662 - Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
663 - bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
664 - bug #474749 ] indentations lost
665 - bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
666 - bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
667 - bug #477687 ] conforming html
668 - bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
669 - bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
670 - bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
671 - bug #477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
672 - newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
673 - bug #479511 ] mailgw to pop
674 - bug #479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
675 - bad error report in hyperdb
676 - roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
677 of processing
678 - roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
679 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
680 an error message to the roundup admin.
681 - fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
682 - errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
683 squashed)
684 - re-open the database as the author in mail handling
685 - missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
688 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
689 Feature:
690 - MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
691 - feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
692 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
693 information is displayed.
694 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
695 - Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
696 - Tabular display of nodes.
697 - Import and export via colon-separated files.
699 Changed:
700 - re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
701 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
703 Fixed:
704 - Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
705 - CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
706 - Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
707 - Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
708 - Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
709 - Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
710 - Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
711 - bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
712 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
713 - bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
714 as numbers now.
715 - bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
716 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
717 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
718 - bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
719 - bug #473126: Sender unknown
720 - bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
723 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
724 Fixed:
725 - Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
726 property values. This broke a lot of things.
729 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
730 Feature:
731 - roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
732 on the command-line.
733 - hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
734 properties.
735 - CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
737 Changed:
738 - Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
739 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
740 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
741 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
742 - The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
743 - The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
744 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
745 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
746 - Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
747 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
748 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
749 number of encoding systems.
750 - The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
751 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
752 documentation for details.)
754 Fixed:
755 - Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
756 Ping - has been removed.
757 - Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
758 - Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
759 - AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
760 - Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
761 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
762 - Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
763 an item now throws an exception.
764 - The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
765 - Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
769 --------------
771 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
772 Fixed:
773 - Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
774 - Missing import in mailgw.
777 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
778 Feature:
779 - Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
780 regular expressions now.
782 Fixed:
783 - Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
784 - Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
785 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
786 - Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
787 - Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
788 that the change note message is actually genrated.
789 - CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
790 - Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
791 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
792 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
793 - Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
794 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
795 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
798 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
799 Note:
800 - Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
802 Feature:
803 - Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
804 with bugs in roundup.init!
805 - Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
806 the tests.
807 - Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
809 Fixed:
810 - Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
811 signatures now too.
812 - Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
813 - Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
814 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
815 - Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
816 - Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
817 module name for the instances on import time.
820 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
821 Note:
822 - The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
823 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
825 Fixed:
826 - Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
827 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
830 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
831 Features:
832 - Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
833 should be linked somewhere.
834 - Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
835 - Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
836 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
837 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
838 cleanup the header up.
839 - Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
840 - Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
841 are displayed.
842 - Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
843 rebuild.
844 - Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
845 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
846 - Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
847 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
848 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
849 instructions, etc).
851 Fixed:
852 - Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
853 - Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
854 - Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
855 - Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
856 - 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
857 - mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
858 was creating nodes for.
859 - remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
860 - Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
861 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
862 names.
865 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
866 Big change:
867 - I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
868 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
869 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
870 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
871 code in "extended" either way.
873 Features:
874 - Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
875 we do anything distutils'y.
876 - Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
877 - Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
878 help and better command-line arg handling.
879 - The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
880 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
881 - Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
883 Fixed:
884 - One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
885 - Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
886 hard-coded to "issue".
887 - templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
888 - The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
889 properly.
890 - The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
891 nodeid) properly.
894 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
895 Features:
896 - Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
897 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
898 - Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
899 tests for multipart splitting.
900 - Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
901 - Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
902 - Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
903 - Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
904 - Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
905 behaviour.
906 - Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
907 - Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
908 it).
910 Fixed:
911 - Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
912 - New issue form handles lack of note better now.
913 - HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
914 - Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
915 - Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
916 query elements.
917 - Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
918 changed now.
921 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
922 Features:
923 - Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
924 - Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
925 directory as "overview.html".
927 Fixes:
928 - Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
929 "html" directory in instance home.
930 - Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
931 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
932 There you go...
933 - Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
934 strict about such things.
936 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
937 Features:
938 - Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
939 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
940 back-ends.
941 - Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
942 out-of-the-box
943 - Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
944 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
945 - Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
946 - Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
947 out-of-the-box.
948 - Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
949 - Added some unit tests.
951 Fixes:
952 - Fixed bug in re generation in the filter

960 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
961 - Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
962 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
963 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
964 - Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
965 - Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
966 - Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
967 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
968 - Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
969 - Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
970 - Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
971 columns to sort by to 2.
972 - Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
973 ^text - search for text at start of fields
974 text$ - search for text at end of fields
975 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
976 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
977 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
978 - Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
981 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
982 - Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
983 the priority column isn't displayed.
984 - Thanks Anthony:
985 - added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
986 - added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
987 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
988 - python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
989 - better handling of db directory in initDB
990 - Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
991 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
992 properties, etc.
993 - Set the default index to sort on activity
996 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
997 - Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
998 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
1000 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
1001 - Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
1002 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
1003 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
1004 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
