1 This file contains the changes to the Roundup system over time. The entries
2 are given with the most recent entry first.
4 2002-09-?? 0.5.0 ????
5 - handling of None for Date/Interval/Password values in export/import
6 - handling of journal values in export/import
7 - password edit now has a confirmation field
8 - registration error punts back to register page
9 - gadfly backend now handles changes to the schema - but only one property
10 at a time
11 - cgi.client base URL is now obtained from the config TRACKER_WEB
12 - request.url has gone away - there's too much magic in trying to figure
13 what it should be
14 - cgi-bin script redirects to https now if the request was https
15 - FileClass "content" property wasn't being returned by getprops() in most
16 backends
17 - we now verify instance attributes on instance open and throw a useful error
18 if they're not all there
19 - sf 611217 ] menu() has problems when labelprop==None
20 - verify contents of tracker module when the tracker is opened
21 - many performance improvements in *dbm and sql backends
22 - mailgw was missing an "import sys"
23 - setup now installs scripts with python -O flag, doubling performance in some
24 cases (there's a lot of __debug__ use)
25 - fix :required for Link menus
26 - import wasn't setting the ID to maxid+1
27 - added getItem to HTMLClass so you can access arbitrary items in templates
28 - index filtering form values may now be key values too
29 - replaced the content() callback ickiness with Page Template macro usage

31 - better handling of Page Template compilation errors
32 - handle multiple unrelated indexed classes
33 - #614188 ] Exception in mailgw.py
34 - #613310 ] traceback on onexistant items
35 - #613291 ] typos in nosy list
38 2002-09-13 0.5.0 beta2
39 - all backends now have a .close() method, and it's used everywhere
40 - fixed bug in detectors __init__
41 - switched the default issue item display to only show issue summary
42 (added instructions to doc to make it display entire content)
43 - MANIFEST.in was missing a lot of template files
44 - added generic item editing
45 - much nicer layout of template rendering errors
46 - added context/is_edit_ok and context/is_view_ok convenience methods and
47 implemented use of them in the classic template
50 2002-09-11 0.5.0 beta1
51 Fixed:
52 - #576086 ] dumb copying mistake (frontends/ZRoundup.py)
53 - installation instructions now mention "python2" in "testing your python".
54 - made the unit tests run again - they were quite b0rken
55 - #571170 ] gdbm deadlock
56 - #576241 ] MultiLink problems in parsePropsFromForm
57 - fixed the date module so that Date(". - 2d") works
58 - web forms may now unset Link values (like assignedto)
59 - cleanup: moved roundup.templatebuilder to roundup.templates.builder
60 - instance __init__ no longer silently traps dbinit import errors
62 Feature:
63 - new backend for metakit (thanks Gordon McMillan)
64 - new backend for gadfly (it's as done as it's going to get)
65 - further split the dbm backends from the core code, allowing easier
66 non-dict-like backends (eg metakit, RDB)
67 - implemented and used the new access control mechanisms (Permissions, Roles)
68 (see doc/security.txt)
69 - switched templating to use Zope's PageTemplates (yay!)
70 - switched to sessions for web authentication
71 - added Boolean and Number types
72 - fixed the journal bloat
73 - updated design document for new access controls
74 - updated customisation document, including more examples
75 - entire database export and import (incl files)
76 - better mailgw help message (feature request #558562)
77 - re-enabled link backrefs from messages (feature request #568714)
78 - the page layout is now templatable
79 - re-worked cgi interface to abstract out the explicit "issue" interface
80 - have index page handle mid-page errors better so header and footer are
81 still visible
82 - we handle "not found", access and item page render errors better
83 - fixed double-submit by having new-item-submit redirect at end
84 - daemonify roundup-server (fork, logfile, pidfile)
85 - modify cgitb to display PageTemplate errors better
86 - rename to "instance" to "tracker"
87 - have roundup.cgi pick up tracker config from the environment
88 - revamped look and feel in web interface
89 - cleaned up stylesheet usage
90 - several bug fixes and documentation fixes
91 - added is_retired test to hyperdb.Class
92 - added capability to save queries:
93 - a query Class with name, klass (to search) and url (query string)
94 properties
95 - a Multilink to query on user called queries
96 - html templates for query, and a list of queries in user.item
97 - search form has Save button & name input
98 - saved queries put in menu in pagehead
99 - for migration, none of the above is required and old behavior preserved.
100 - showquery translates search form <-> query string
101 - cleaned up the indexer code:
102 - it splits more words out
103 - removed code we'll never use (roundup.roundup_indexer has the full
104 implementation, and replaces roundup.indexer)
105 - only index text/plain and rfc822/message (ideas for other text formats to
106 index are welcome)
107 - added simple unit test for indexer. Needs more tests for regression.
108 - all String properties may now be indexed too. Currently there's a bit of
109 "issue" specific code in the actual searching which needs to be
110 addressed. In a nutshell:
111 + pass 'indexme="yes"' as a String() property initialisation arg, eg:
112 file = FileClass(db, "file", name=String(), type=String(),
113 comment=String(indexme="yes"))
114 + the comment will then be indexed and be searchable, with the results
115 related back to the issue that the file is linked to
116 - as a result of this work, the FileClass has a default MIME type that may
117 be overridden in a subclass, or by the use of a "type" property as is
118 done in the default templates.
119 - the regeneration of the indexes (if necessary) is done once the schema is
120 set up in the dbinit.
121 - new "reindex" command in roundup-admin used to force regeneration of the
122 index
123 - added email display function - mangles email addrs so they're not so easily
124 scraped from the web
125 - switched to using a session-based web login
126 - made mailgw handle set and modify operations on multilinks (bug #579094)
127 - fixed the journal bloat from multilink changes - we just log the add or
128 remove operations, not the whole list
131 2002-06-24 0.4.2
132 Fixed:
133 - Cleaned up the hyperdb unit tests.
134 - Applied patch from Andrew W. Nosenko to give nicer Unauthorised message
135 when anonymous user tries to edit. Should've been applied in 0.4.2pr1. Oops.
136 - Added more detailed note to MIGRATION regarding the detectors changes.
139 2002-06-19 0.4.2pr1
140 Feature:
141 - added a "detectors" directory for people to put their useful auditors and
142 reactors in. Note - the roundupdb.IssueClass.sendmessage method has been
143 split and renamed "nosymessage" specifically for things like the nosy
144 reactor, and "send_message" which just sends the message.
145 - link() htmltemplate function now has a "showid" option for links and
146 multilinks. When true, it only displays the linked node id as the anchor
147 text. The link value is displayed as a tooltip using the title anchor
148 attribute.
149 To use in eg. the superseder field, have something like this:
150 <td>
151 <display call="field('superseder', showid=1)">
152 <display call="classhelp('issue', 'id,title', label='list', width=500)">
153 <property name="superseder">
154 <br>View: <display call="link('superseder', showid=1)">
155 </property>
156 </td>
157 - stripping of the email message body can now be controlled through the
158 config variables EMAIL_KEEP_QUOTED_TEXT and EMAIL_LEAVE_BODY_UNCHANGED.
159 - all database files created are now group readable and writable.
160 - added option to automatically add the authors and recipients of messages
161 to the nosy lists with the options ADD_AUTHOR_TO_NOSY (default 'new') and
162 ADD_RECIPIENTS_TO_NOSY (default 'new'). These settings emulate the current
163 behaviour. Setting them to 'yes' will add the author/recipients to the nosy
164 on messages that create issues and followup messages.
165 - reverting to dates for intervals > 2 months sucks
166 - changed the default message list in issues to display the message body
167 - applied patch #558876 ] cgi client customization
168 - split instance initialisation into two steps, allowing config changes
169 before the database is initialised.
170 - don't create an empty message on email issue creation if the email is empty
171 - may now display additional fields in Multilink form menus
172 - #541941 ] changing multilink properties by mail
173 - #526730 ] search for messages capability
174 - #505180 ] split MailGW.handle_Message
175 - also changed cgi client since it was duplicating the functionality
177 Fixed:
178 - stop sending blank (whitespace-only) notes
179 - cleanup of serialisation for database storage
180 - node ids are now generated from a lockable store - no more race conditions
181 - sorting was applied to all nodes of the MultiLink class instead of
182 to the nodes that are actually linked to in the "field" template
183 function. This adds about 20+ seconds in the display of an issue if
184 your database has a 1000 or more issues in it.
185 - added missing documentation for a few of the config option values
186 - file upload broke if you didn't supply a change note
187 - fixed SCRIPT_NAME in ZRoundup for instances not at top level of Zope
188 (thanks dman)
189 - fixed some sorting issues that were breaking some unit tests under py2.2
190 - mailgw test output dir was confusing the init test (but only on 2.2 *shrug*)
191 - node caching now works, and gives a small boost in performance
192 - #449374 ] re-enable bsddb3 backend
193 bsddb3 backend now works, reinstating
194 - #551483 ] assignedto in Client.make_index_link
195 - made backends.__init__ be more specific about which ImportErrors it really
196 wants to ignore
197 - fixed the example addresses in the templates to use correct example domains
198 - cleaned out the template stylesheets, removing a bunch of junk that really
199 wasn't necessary (font specs, styles never used) and added a style for
200 message content
201 - build htmlbase if tests are run using CVS checkout
202 - #565979 ] code error in hyperdb.Class.find
203 - #565996 ] The "Attach a File to this Issue" fails
204 - #564271 ] find() and new properties
205 - #562130 ] cookie path generated from ZRoundup was wrong in some situations
206 - remove CR characters embedded in messages (ZRoundup)
207 - properly quote the email address and "real name" in all situations using the
208 'email' module if it is available and 'rfc822' otherwise
209 - #565992 ] if ISSUE_TRACKER_WEB doesn't have the trailing '/', add it
210 - use the rfc822 module to ensure that every (oddball) email address and
211 real-name is properly quoted
212 - #558867 ] ZRoundup redirect /instance requests to /instance/
213 - #569415 ] {version}
214 - #569178 ] type error
215 was fixed as part of the general cleanup of reactors
218 2002-03-25 - 0.4.1
219 Feature:
220 - use blobfiles in back_anydbm which is used in back_bsddb.
221 change test_db as dirlist does not work for subdirectories.
222 ATTENTION: blobfiles now creates subdirectories for files.
223 - add module blobfiles in backends with file access functions.
224 - roundup db catch only IOError in getfile.
225 - roundup db catches retrieving not existing files.
226 - #503204 ] mailgw needs a default class
227 - partially done - the setting of additional properties can wait for a
228 better configuration system.
229 - Alternate email addresses are now available for users. See the MIGRATION
230 file for info on how to activate the feature.
231 - #511168 ] Web interface: Adding new products
232 Classes that don't provide template html get a default edit interface now:
233 - access using the admin "class list" interface
234 - limited to admin-only
235 - requires the csv module from object-craft (url given if it's missing)
236 - Added popup help for classes using the classhelp html template function.
237 - add <display call="classhelp('priority', 'id,name,description')">
238 to an item page, and it generates a link to a popup window which displays
239 the id, name and description for the priority class. The description
240 field won't exist in most installations, but it will be added to the
241 default templates.
242 - #517734 ] web header customisation is obscure
243 - All messages sent to the nosy list are now encoded as
244 quoted-printable before they are sent.
245 - Fixed display of mutlilink properties when using the template
246 functions, menu and plain.
248 Fixed:
249 - Clean up mail handling, multipart handling.
250 - respect encodings in non multipart messages.
251 - makeHtmlBase: re.sub under python 2.2 did not replace '.', string.replace
252 does it.
253 - preamble in tepmlateBuilder mentioned htmldata
254 - mailgw checks encoding on first part too.
255 - #511586 ] unittest FAIL: testReldate_date
256 - Added a uniquely Roundup header to email, "X-Roundup-Name"
257 - All forms now have "double-submit" protection when Javascript is enabled
258 on the client-side.
259 - #516883 ] mail interface + ANONYMOUS_REGISTER
260 - #516854 ] "My Issues" and redisplay
261 - #517906 ] Attribute order in "View customisation"
262 - #514854 ] History: "User" is always ticket creator
263 - wasn't handling cvs parser feeding correctly
264 - fixed some problems in date calculations (calendar.py doesn't handle over-
265 and under-flow). Also, hour/minute/second intervals may now be more than
266 99 each.
267 - #527416 ] roundup-admin uses undefined value
268 - #527503 ] unfriendly init blowup when parent dir
269 (also handles UsageError correctly now in init)
270 - #524129 ] roundup-admin gets python path wrong
273 2002-01-24 - 0.4.0
274 Feature:
275 - much nicer history display (actualy real handling of property types etc)
276 - journal entries for link and mutlilink properties can be switched on or
277 off
278 - properties in change note are now sorted
279 - you can now use the roundup-admin tool pack the database
281 Fixed:
282 - the mail gateway now responds with an error message when invalid values
283 for arguments are specified for link or mutlilink properties
284 - modified unit test to check nosy and assignedto when specified as arguments
285 - handle attachments with no name (eg tnef)
286 - fixed setting nosy as argument in subject line
287 - fixed back_bsddb so it passed the journal tests
288 - fixed status changes in mail gateway (eg. unread -> chatting)
289 - we'll actually distribute the frontends directory now, as advertised...
290 - handle stripping of "AW:" from subject line
291 - htmltemplate list() wasn't sorting...
292 - unit tests for html templating (and re-enabled the listbox field for
293 multilinks)
294 - allow abbreviation of "help" in admin tool too.
295 - run_tests testReldate_date failed if LANG is 'german'
296 - mailgw failures (unexpected ones) are forwarded to the roundup admin
299 2002-01-16 - 0.4.0b2
300 Fixed:
301 - #495392 ] empty nosy -patch
302 - #500574 ] messageid must have format <part1@part2>
303 - fixed some problems with web editing and change detection
304 - mail splitting wasn't detecting responses in the same "section" as quoted
305 text
306 - missed a "from i18n import _" in date.py
307 - #501690 ] MIGRATION.txt incomplete
308 - #502342 ] pipe interface
309 - #502437 ] rogue reactor and unittest
310 - re-enabled dumbdbm when using python >2.1.1 (ie 2.1.2, 2.2)
311 - changed all config accesses so they access either the instance or the
312 config attriubute on the db. This means that all config is obtained from
313 instance_config instead of the mish-mash of classes. This will make
314 switching to a ConfigParser setup easier too, I hope.
315 - #502951 ] adding new properties to old database
316 - #502953 ] nosy-like treatment of other multilinks
317 - #503164 ] create and passwords
318 - plain rendering of links in the htmltemplate now generate a hyperlink to
319 the linked node's page.
320 - #503330 ] ANONYMOUS_REGISTER now applies to mail
321 - #503353 ] setting properties in initial email
322 - #502956 ] filtering by multilink not supported
323 - #503340 ] creating issue with [asignedto=p.ohly]
324 - #502949 ] index view for non-issues and redisplay
325 - #503793 ] changing assignedto resets nosy list
326 - lots of date/interval related changes:
327 - more relaxed date format for input
328 - handle None for date/interval properties
331 2002-01-08 - 0.4.0b1
332 Feature:
333 - Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
334 the instance.
335 - Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
336 signature info in e-mails.
337 - Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
338 - Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
339 - Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
340 - We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
341 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
342 bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
343 lot more work anyway...
344 - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
345 single transaction
346 - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
347 if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
348 during the session (up to the last commit).
349 - Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
350 - Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
351 (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
352 - Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
353 - Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
354 needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
355 - much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
356 - #496356 ] Use threading in messages
357 This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
358 using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
359 feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
361 Fixed:
362 - Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
363 - login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
364 - Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
365 gateway.
366 - Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
367 on a failure)
368 - We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
369 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
370 - #487480 ] roundup-server
371 - #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
372 - #489760 ] [issue] only subject
373 - fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
374 - fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
375 - web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
376 - we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
377 this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
378 cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
379 - envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
380 delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
381 - #495400 ] entering blanks
382 Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
383 for details.
384 - #496360 ] table width does not work
385 - detectors were being registered multiple times
386 - added tests for mailgw
389 2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
390 Feature:
391 - #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
392 - #473123 ] Change message generation for author
393 - MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
394 - Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
395 - Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
396 - "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
397 - roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
398 - roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
399 - roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
400 - users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
401 - incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
402 e-mail
403 - added a target version field to the extended issue schema
404 - added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
405 translatable messages
407 Fixed:
408 - Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
409 - 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
410 - Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
411 - roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
412 - Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
413 - Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
414 - bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
415 - bug #474749 ] indentations lost
416 - bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
417 - bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
418 - bug #477687 ] conforming html
419 - bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
420 - bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
421 - bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
422 - bug #477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
423 - newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
424 - bug #479511 ] mailgw to pop
425 - bug #479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
426 - bad error report in hyperdb
427 - roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
428 of processing
429 - roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
430 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
431 an error message to the roundup admin.
432 - fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
433 - errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
434 squashed)
435 - re-open the database as the author in mail handling
436 - missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
439 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
440 Feature:
441 - MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
442 - feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
443 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
444 information is displayed.
445 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
446 - Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
447 - Tabular display of nodes.
448 - Import and export via colon-separated files.
450 Changed:
451 - re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
452 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
454 Fixed:
455 - Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
456 - CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
457 - Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
458 - Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
459 - Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
460 - Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
461 - Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
462 - bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
463 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
464 - bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
465 as numbers now.
466 - bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
467 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
468 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
469 - bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
470 - bug #473126: Sender unknown
471 - bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
474 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
475 Fixed:
476 - Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
477 property values. This broke a lot of things.
480 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
481 Feature:
482 - roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
483 on the command-line.
484 - hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
485 properties.
486 - CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
488 Changed:
489 - Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
490 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
491 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
492 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
493 - The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
494 - The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
495 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
496 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
497 - Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
498 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
499 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
500 number of encoding systems.
501 - The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
502 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
503 documentation for details.)
505 Fixed:
506 - Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
507 Ping - has been removed.
508 - Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
509 - Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
510 - AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
511 - Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
512 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
513 - Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
514 an item now throws an exception.
515 - The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
516 - Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
520 --------------
522 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
523 Fixed:
524 - Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
525 - Missing import in mailgw.
528 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
529 Feature:
530 - Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
531 regular expressions now.
533 Fixed:
534 - Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
535 - Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
536 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
537 - Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
538 - Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
539 that the change note message is actually genrated.
540 - CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
541 - Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
542 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
543 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
544 - Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
545 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
546 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
549 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
550 Note:
551 - Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
553 Feature:
554 - Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
555 with bugs in roundup.init!
556 - Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
557 the tests.
558 - Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
560 Fixed:
561 - Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
562 signatures now too.
563 - Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
564 - Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
565 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
566 - Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
567 - Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
568 module name for the instances on import time.
571 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
572 Note:
573 - The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
574 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
576 Fixed:
577 - Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
578 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
581 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
582 Features:
583 - Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
584 should be linked somewhere.
585 - Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
586 - Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
587 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
588 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
589 cleanup the header up.
590 - Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
591 - Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
592 are displayed.
593 - Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
594 rebuild.
595 - Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
596 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
597 - Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
598 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
599 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
600 instructions, etc).
602 Fixed:
603 - Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
604 - Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
605 - Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
606 - Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
607 - 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
608 - mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
609 was creating nodes for.
610 - remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
611 - Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
612 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
613 names.
616 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
617 Big change:
618 - I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
619 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
620 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
621 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
622 code in "extended" either way.
624 Features:
625 - Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
626 we do anything distutils'y.
627 - Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
628 - Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
629 help and better command-line arg handling.
630 - The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
631 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
632 - Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
634 Fixed:
635 - One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
636 - Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
637 hard-coded to "issue".
638 - templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
639 - The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
640 properly.
641 - The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
642 nodeid) properly.
645 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
646 Features:
647 - Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
648 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
649 - Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
650 tests for multipart splitting.
651 - Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
652 - Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
653 - Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
654 - Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
655 - Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
656 behaviour.
657 - Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
658 - Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
659 it).
661 Fixed:
662 - Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
663 - New issue form handles lack of note better now.
664 - HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
665 - Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
666 - Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
667 query elements.
668 - Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
669 changed now.
672 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
673 Features:
674 - Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
675 - Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
676 directory as "overview.html".
678 Fixes:
679 - Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
680 "html" directory in instance home.
681 - Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
682 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
683 There you go...
684 - Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
685 strict about such things.
687 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
688 Features:
689 - Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
690 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
691 back-ends.
692 - Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
693 out-of-the-box
694 - Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
695 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
696 - Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
697 - Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
698 out-of-the-box.
699 - Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
700 - Added some unit tests.
702 Fixes:
703 - Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
704 - Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
705 - Fixed adding new issue with no change note
706 - Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
707 quoted.
708 - Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
709 message.
711 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
712 - Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
713 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
714 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
715 - Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
716 - Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
717 - Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
718 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
719 - Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
720 - Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
721 - Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
722 columns to sort by to 2.
723 - Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
724 ^text - search for text at start of fields
725 text$ - search for text at end of fields
726 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
727 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
728 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
729 - Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
732 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
733 - Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
734 the priority column isn't displayed.
735 - Thanks Anthony:
736 - added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
737 - added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
738 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
739 - python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
740 - better handling of db directory in initDB
741 - Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
742 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
743 properties, etc.
744 - Set the default index to sort on activity
747 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
748 - Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
749 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
751 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
752 - Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
753 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
754 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
755 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
