30 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
31 Feature:
32 . MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
33 . feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
34 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
35 information is displayed.
36 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
37 . Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
38 . Tabular display of nodes.
39 . Import and export via colon-separated files.
41 Changed:
42 . re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
43 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
45 Fixed:
46 . Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
47 . CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
48 . Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
49 . Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
50 . Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
51 . Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
52 . Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
53 . bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
54 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
55 . bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
56 as numbers now.
57 . bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
58 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
59 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
60 . bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
61 . bug #473126: Sender unknown
62 . bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
65 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
66 Fixed:
67 . Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
68 property values. This broke a lot of things.
71 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
72 Feature:
73 . roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
74 on the command-line.
75 . hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
76 properties.
77 . CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
79 Changed:
80 . Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
81 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
82 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
83 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
84 . The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
85 . The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
86 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
87 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
88 . Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
89 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
90 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
91 number of encoding systems.
92 . The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
93 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
94 documentation for details.)
96 Fixed:
97 . Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
98 Ping - has been removed.
99 . Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
100 . Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
101 . AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
102 . Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
103 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
104 . Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
105 an item now throws an exception.
106 . The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
107 . Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
111 --------------
113 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
114 Fixed:
115 . Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
116 . Missing import in mailgw.
119 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
120 Feature:
121 . Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
122 regular expressions now.
124 Fixed:
125 . Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
126 . Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
127 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
128 . Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
129 . Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
130 that the change note message is actually genrated.
131 . CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
132 . Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
133 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
134 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
135 . Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
136 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
137 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
140 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
141 Note:
142 . Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
144 Feature:
145 . Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
146 with bugs in roundup.init!
147 . Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
148 the tests.
149 . Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
151 Fixed:
152 . Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
153 signatures now too.
154 . Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
155 . Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
156 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
157 . Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
158 . Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
159 module name for the instances on import time.
162 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
163 Note:
164 . The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
165 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
167 Fixed:
168 . Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
169 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
172 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
173 Features:
174 . Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
175 should be linked somewhere.
176 . Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
177 . Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
178 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
179 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
180 cleanup the header up.
181 . Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
182 . Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
183 are displayed.
184 . Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
185 rebuild.
186 . Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
187 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
188 . Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
189 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
190 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
191 instructions, etc).
193 Fixed:
194 . Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
195 . Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
196 . Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
197 . Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
198 . 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
199 . mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
200 was creating nodes for.
201 . remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
202 . Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
203 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
204 names.
207 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
208 Big change:
209 . I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
210 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
211 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
212 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
213 code in "extended" either way.
215 Features:
216 . Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
217 we do anything distutils'y.
218 . Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
219 . Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
220 help and better command-line arg handling.
221 . The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
222 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
223 . Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
225 Fixed:
226 . One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
227 . Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
228 hard-coded to "issue".
229 . templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
230 . The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
231 properly.
232 . The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
233 nodeid) properly.
236 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
237 Features:
238 . Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
239 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
240 . Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
241 tests for multipart splitting.
242 . Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
243 . Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
244 . Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
245 . Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
246 . Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
247 behaviour.
248 . Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
249 . Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
250 it).
252 Fixed:
253 . Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
254 . New issue form handles lack of note better now.
255 . HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
256 . Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
257 . Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
258 query elements.
259 . Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
260 changed now.
263 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
264 Features:
265 . Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
266 . Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
267 directory as "overview.html".
269 Fixes:
270 . Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
271 "html" directory in instance home.
272 . Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
273 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
274 There you go...
275 . Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
276 strict about such things.
278 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
279 Features:
280 . Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
281 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
282 back-ends.
283 . Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
284 out-of-the-box
285 . Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
286 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
287 . Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
288 . Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
289 out-of-the-box.
290 . Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
291 . Added some unit tests.
293 Fixes:
294 . Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
295 . Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
296 . Fixed adding new issue with no change note
297 . Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
298 quoted.
299 . Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
300 message.
302 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
303 . Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
304 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
305 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
306 . Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
307 . Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
308 . Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
309 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
310 . Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
311 . Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
312 . Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
313 columns to sort by to 2.
314 . Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
315 ^text - search for text at start of fields
316 text$ - search for text at end of fields
317 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
318 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
319 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
320 . Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
323 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
324 . Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
325 the priority column isn't displayed.
326 . Thanks Anthony:
327 . added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
328 . added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
329 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
330 . python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
331 . better handling of db directory in initDB
332 . Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
333 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
334 properties, etc.
335 . Set the default index to sort on activity
338 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
339 . Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
340 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
342 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
343 . Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
344 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
345 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
346 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
