1 This file contains the changes to the Roundup system over time. The entries
2 are given with the most recent entry first.
4 2002-02-?? - 0.4.1
5 Feature:
6 . #503204 ] mailgw needs a default class
7 - partially done - the setting of additional properties can wait for a
8 better configuration system.
9 . Alternate email addresses are now available for users. See the MIGRATION
10 file for info on how to activate the feature.
13 Fixed:
14 . Clean up mail handling, multipart handling.
15 . respect encodings in non multipart messages.
16 . makeHtmlBase: re.sub under python 2.2 did not replace '.', string.replace
17 does it.
18 . preamble in tepmlateBuilder mentioned htmldata
19 . mailgw checks encoding on first part too.
20 . #511586 ] unittest FAIL: testReldate_date
21 . Added a uniquely Roundup header to email, "X-Roundup-Name"
22 . All forms now have "double-submit" protection when Javascript is enabled
23 on the client-side.
24 . #516883 ] mail interface + ANONYMOUS_REGISTER
25 . #516854 ] "My Issues" and redisplay
26 . #517906 ] Attribute order in "View customisation"
27 . #514854 ] History: "User" is always ticket creator
30 2002-01-24 - 0.4.0
31 Feature:
32 . much nicer history display (actualy real handling of property types etc)
33 . journal entries for link and mutlilink properties can be switched on or
34 off
35 . properties in change note are now sorted
36 . you can now use the roundup-admin tool pack the database
38 Fixed:
39 . the mail gateway now responds with an error message when invalid values
40 for arguments are specified for link or mutlilink properties
41 . modified unit test to check nosy and assignedto when specified as arguments
42 . handle attachments with no name (eg tnef)
43 . fixed setting nosy as argument in subject line
44 . fixed back_bsddb so it passed the journal tests
45 . fixed status changes in mail gateway (eg. unread -> chatting)
46 . we'll actually distribute the frontends directory now, as advertised...
47 . handle stripping of "AW:" from subject line
48 . htmltemplate list() wasn't sorting...
49 . unit tests for html templating (and re-enabled the listbox field for
50 multilinks)
51 . allow abbreviation of "help" in admin tool too.
52 . run_tests testReldate_date failed if LANG is 'german'
53 . mailgw failures (unexpected ones) are forwarded to the roundup admin
56 2002-01-16 - 0.4.0b2
57 Fixed:
58 . #495392 ] empty nosy -patch
59 . #500574 ] messageid must have format <part1@part2>
60 . fixed some problems with web editing and change detection
61 . mail splitting wasn't detecting responses in the same "section" as quoted
62 text
63 . missed a "from i18n import _" in date.py
64 . #501690 ] MIGRATION.txt incomplete
65 . #502342 ] pipe interface
66 . #502437 ] rogue reactor and unittest
67 . re-enabled dumbdbm when using python >2.1.1 (ie 2.1.2, 2.2)
68 . changed all config accesses so they access either the instance or the
69 config attriubute on the db. This means that all config is obtained from
70 instance_config instead of the mish-mash of classes. This will make
71 switching to a ConfigParser setup easier too, I hope.
72 . #502951 ] adding new properties to old database
73 . #502953 ] nosy-like treatment of other multilinks
74 . #503164 ] create and passwords
75 . plain rendering of links in the htmltemplate now generate a hyperlink to
76 the linked node's page.
77 . #503330 ] ANONYMOUS_REGISTER now applies to mail
78 . #503353 ] setting properties in initial email
79 . #502956 ] filtering by multilink not supported
80 . #503340 ] creating issue with [asignedto=p.ohly]
81 . #502949 ] index view for non-issues and redisplay
82 . #503793 ] changing assignedto resets nosy list
83 . lots of date/interval related changes:
84 - more relaxed date format for input
85 - handle None for date/interval properties
88 2002-01-08 - 0.4.0b1
89 Feature:
90 . Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
91 the instance.
92 . Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
93 signature info in e-mails.
94 . Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
95 . Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
96 . Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
97 . We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
98 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
99 bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
100 lot more work anyway...
101 - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
102 single transaction
103 - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
104 if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
105 during the session (up to the last commit).
106 . Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
107 . Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
108 (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
109 . Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
110 . Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
111 needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
112 . much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
113 . #496356 ] Use threading in messages
114 This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
115 using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
116 feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
118 Fixed:
119 . Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
120 . login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
121 . Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
122 gateway.
123 . Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
124 on a failure)
125 . We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
126 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
127 . #487480 ] roundup-server
128 . #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
129 . #489760 ] [issue] only subject
130 . fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
131 . fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
132 . web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
133 . we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
134 this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
135 cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
136 . envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
137 delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
138 . #495400 ] entering blanks
139 Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
140 for details.
141 . #496360 ] table width does not work
142 . detectors were being registered multiple times
143 . added tests for mailgw
146 2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
147 Feature:
148 . #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
149 . #473123 ] Change message generation for author
150 . MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
151 . Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
152 . Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
153 . "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
154 . roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
155 . roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
156 . roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
157 . users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
158 . incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
159 e-mail
160 . added a target version field to the extended issue schema
161 . added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
162 translatable messages
164 Fixed:
165 . Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
166 . 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
167 . Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
168 . roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
169 . Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
170 . Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
171 . bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
172 . bug #474749 ] indentations lost
173 . bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
174 . bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
175 . bug #477687 ] conforming html
176 . bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
177 . bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
178 . bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
179 . bug #477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
180 . newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
181 . bug #479511 ] mailgw to pop
182 . bug #479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
183 . bad error report in hyperdb
184 . roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
185 of processing
186 . roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
187 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
188 an error message to the roundup admin.
189 . fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
190 . errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
191 squashed)
192 . re-open the database as the author in mail handling
193 . missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
196 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
197 Feature:
198 . MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
199 . feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
200 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
201 information is displayed.
202 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
203 . Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
204 . Tabular display of nodes.
205 . Import and export via colon-separated files.
207 Changed:
208 . re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
209 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
211 Fixed:
212 . Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
213 . CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
214 . Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
215 . Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
216 . Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
217 . Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
218 . Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
219 . bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
220 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
221 . bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
222 as numbers now.
223 . bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
224 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
225 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
226 . bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
227 . bug #473126: Sender unknown
228 . bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
231 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
232 Fixed:
233 . Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
234 property values. This broke a lot of things.
237 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
238 Feature:
239 . roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
240 on the command-line.
241 . hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
242 properties.
243 . CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
245 Changed:
246 . Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
247 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
248 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
249 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
250 . The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
251 . The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
252 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
253 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
254 . Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
255 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
256 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
257 number of encoding systems.
258 . The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
259 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
260 documentation for details.)
262 Fixed:
263 . Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
264 Ping - has been removed.
265 . Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
266 . Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
267 . AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
268 . Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
269 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
270 . Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
271 an item now throws an exception.
272 . The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
273 . Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
277 --------------
279 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
280 Fixed:
281 . Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
282 . Missing import in mailgw.
285 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
286 Feature:
287 . Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
288 regular expressions now.
290 Fixed:
291 . Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
292 . Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
293 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
294 . Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
295 . Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
296 that the change note message is actually genrated.
297 . CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
298 . Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
299 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
300 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
301 . Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
302 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
303 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
306 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
307 Note:
308 . Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
310 Feature:
311 . Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
312 with bugs in roundup.init!
313 . Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
314 the tests.
315 . Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
317 Fixed:
318 . Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
319 signatures now too.
320 . Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
321 . Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
322 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
323 . Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
324 . Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
325 module name for the instances on import time.
328 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
329 Note:
330 . The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
331 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
333 Fixed:
334 . Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
335 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
338 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
339 Features:
340 . Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
341 should be linked somewhere.
342 . Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
343 . Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
344 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
345 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
346 cleanup the header up.
347 . Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
348 . Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
349 are displayed.
350 . Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
351 rebuild.
352 . Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
353 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
354 . Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
355 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
356 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
357 instructions, etc).
359 Fixed:
360 . Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
361 . Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
362 . Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
363 . Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
364 . 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
365 . mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
366 was creating nodes for.
367 . remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
368 . Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
369 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
370 names.
373 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
374 Big change:
375 . I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
376 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
377 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
378 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
379 code in "extended" either way.
381 Features:
382 . Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
383 we do anything distutils'y.
384 . Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
385 . Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
386 help and better command-line arg handling.
387 . The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
388 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
389 . Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
391 Fixed:
392 . One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
393 . Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
394 hard-coded to "issue".
395 . templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
396 . The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
397 properly.
398 . The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
399 nodeid) properly.
402 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
403 Features:
404 . Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
405 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
406 . Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
407 tests for multipart splitting.
408 . Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
409 . Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
410 . Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
411 . Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
412 . Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
413 behaviour.
414 . Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
415 . Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
416 it).
418 Fixed:
419 . Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
420 . New issue form handles lack of note better now.
421 . HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
422 . Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
423 . Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
424 query elements.
425 . Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
426 changed now.
429 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
430 Features:
431 . Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
432 . Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
433 directory as "overview.html".
435 Fixes:
436 . Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
437 "html" directory in instance home.
438 . Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
439 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
440 There you go...
441 . Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
442 strict about such things.
444 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
445 Features:
446 . Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
447 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
448 back-ends.
449 . Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
450 out-of-the-box
451 . Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
452 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
453 . Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
454 . Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
455 out-of-the-box.
456 . Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
457 . Added some unit tests.
459 Fixes:
460 . Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
461 . Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
462 . Fixed adding new issue with no change note
463 . Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
464 quoted.
465 . Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
466 message.
468 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
469 . Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
470 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
471 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
472 . Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
473 . Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
474 . Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
475 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
476 . Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
477 . Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
478 . Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
479 columns to sort by to 2.
480 . Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
481 ^text - search for text at start of fields
482 text$ - search for text at end of fields
483 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
484 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
485 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
486 . Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
489 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
490 . Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
491 the priority column isn't displayed.
492 . Thanks Anthony:
493 . added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
494 . added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
495 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
496 . python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
497 . better handling of db directory in initDB
498 . Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
499 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
500 properties, etc.
501 . Set the default index to sort on activity
504 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
505 . Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
506 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
508 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
509 . Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
