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

35 - #613291 ] typos in nosy list
36 - handle stupid mailers that QUOTE their Re; 'Re: "[issue1] bla blah"'
37 - giving a user a Role that doesn't exist doesn't break stuff any more
38 - revamped user guide, customisation guide, added maintenance guide
39 - merge Zope Collector #538 fix from ZPT CVS trunk (path expressions with a
40 non-path final alternate no longer try to call a value returned by that
41 alternate)
42 - merge Zope Collector #573 fix from ZPT CVS trunk
43 - merge Zope Collector #580 fix from ZPT CVS trunk
44 - added "crypt" password encoding and ability to set password with

48 tracker interfaces module
49 - fixed login attempt by user that doesn't exist
51 2002-09-13 0.5.0 beta2
52 - all backends now have a .close() method, and it's used everywhere
53 - fixed bug in detectors __init__
54 - switched the default issue item display to only show issue summary
55 (added instructions to doc to make it display entire content)
56 - MANIFEST.in was missing a lot of template files
57 - added generic item editing
58 - much nicer layout of template rendering errors
59 - added context/is_edit_ok and context/is_view_ok convenience methods and
60 implemented use of them in the classic template
63 2002-09-11 0.5.0 beta1
64 Fixed:
65 - #576086 ] dumb copying mistake (frontends/ZRoundup.py)
66 - installation instructions now mention "python2" in "testing your python".
67 - made the unit tests run again - they were quite b0rken
68 - #571170 ] gdbm deadlock
69 - #576241 ] MultiLink problems in parsePropsFromForm
70 - fixed the date module so that Date(". - 2d") works
71 - web forms may now unset Link values (like assignedto)
72 - cleanup: moved roundup.templatebuilder to roundup.templates.builder
73 - instance __init__ no longer silently traps dbinit import errors
75 Feature:
76 - new backend for metakit (thanks Gordon McMillan)
77 - new backend for gadfly (it's as done as it's going to get)
78 - further split the dbm backends from the core code, allowing easier
79 non-dict-like backends (eg metakit, RDB)
80 - implemented and used the new access control mechanisms (Permissions, Roles)
81 (see doc/security.txt)
82 - switched templating to use Zope's PageTemplates (yay!)
83 - switched to sessions for web authentication
84 - added Boolean and Number types
85 - fixed the journal bloat
86 - updated design document for new access controls
87 - updated customisation document, including more examples
88 - entire database export and import (incl files)
89 - better mailgw help message (feature request #558562)
90 - re-enabled link backrefs from messages (feature request #568714)
91 - the page layout is now templatable
92 - re-worked cgi interface to abstract out the explicit "issue" interface
93 - have index page handle mid-page errors better so header and footer are
94 still visible
95 - we handle "not found", access and item page render errors better
96 - fixed double-submit by having new-item-submit redirect at end
97 - daemonify roundup-server (fork, logfile, pidfile)
98 - modify cgitb to display PageTemplate errors better
99 - rename to "instance" to "tracker"
100 - have roundup.cgi pick up tracker config from the environment
101 - revamped look and feel in web interface
102 - cleaned up stylesheet usage
103 - several bug fixes and documentation fixes
104 - added is_retired test to hyperdb.Class
105 - added capability to save queries:
106 - a query Class with name, klass (to search) and url (query string)
107 properties
108 - a Multilink to query on user called queries
109 - html templates for query, and a list of queries in user.item
110 - search form has Save button & name input
111 - saved queries put in menu in pagehead
112 - for migration, none of the above is required and old behavior preserved.
113 - showquery translates search form <-> query string
114 - cleaned up the indexer code:
115 - it splits more words out
116 - removed code we'll never use (roundup.roundup_indexer has the full
117 implementation, and replaces roundup.indexer)
118 - only index text/plain and rfc822/message (ideas for other text formats to
119 index are welcome)
120 - added simple unit test for indexer. Needs more tests for regression.
121 - all String properties may now be indexed too. Currently there's a bit of
122 "issue" specific code in the actual searching which needs to be
123 addressed. In a nutshell:
124 + pass 'indexme="yes"' as a String() property initialisation arg, eg:
125 file = FileClass(db, "file", name=String(), type=String(),
126 comment=String(indexme="yes"))
127 + the comment will then be indexed and be searchable, with the results
128 related back to the issue that the file is linked to
129 - as a result of this work, the FileClass has a default MIME type that may
130 be overridden in a subclass, or by the use of a "type" property as is
131 done in the default templates.
132 - the regeneration of the indexes (if necessary) is done once the schema is
133 set up in the dbinit.
134 - new "reindex" command in roundup-admin used to force regeneration of the
135 index
136 - added email display function - mangles email addrs so they're not so easily
137 scraped from the web
138 - switched to using a session-based web login
139 - made mailgw handle set and modify operations on multilinks (bug #579094)
140 - fixed the journal bloat from multilink changes - we just log the add or
141 remove operations, not the whole list
144 2002-06-24 0.4.2
145 Fixed:
146 - Cleaned up the hyperdb unit tests.
147 - Applied patch from Andrew W. Nosenko to give nicer Unauthorised message
148 when anonymous user tries to edit. Should've been applied in 0.4.2pr1. Oops.
149 - Added more detailed note to MIGRATION regarding the detectors changes.
152 2002-06-19 0.4.2pr1
153 Feature:
154 - added a "detectors" directory for people to put their useful auditors and
155 reactors in. Note - the roundupdb.IssueClass.sendmessage method has been
156 split and renamed "nosymessage" specifically for things like the nosy
157 reactor, and "send_message" which just sends the message.
158 - link() htmltemplate function now has a "showid" option for links and
159 multilinks. When true, it only displays the linked node id as the anchor
160 text. The link value is displayed as a tooltip using the title anchor
161 attribute.
162 To use in eg. the superseder field, have something like this:
163 <td>
164 <display call="field('superseder', showid=1)">
165 <display call="classhelp('issue', 'id,title', label='list', width=500)">
166 <property name="superseder">
167 <br>View: <display call="link('superseder', showid=1)">
168 </property>
169 </td>
170 - stripping of the email message body can now be controlled through the
171 config variables EMAIL_KEEP_QUOTED_TEXT and EMAIL_LEAVE_BODY_UNCHANGED.
172 - all database files created are now group readable and writable.
173 - added option to automatically add the authors and recipients of messages
174 to the nosy lists with the options ADD_AUTHOR_TO_NOSY (default 'new') and
175 ADD_RECIPIENTS_TO_NOSY (default 'new'). These settings emulate the current
176 behaviour. Setting them to 'yes' will add the author/recipients to the nosy
177 on messages that create issues and followup messages.
178 - reverting to dates for intervals > 2 months sucks
179 - changed the default message list in issues to display the message body
180 - applied patch #558876 ] cgi client customization
181 - split instance initialisation into two steps, allowing config changes
182 before the database is initialised.
183 - don't create an empty message on email issue creation if the email is empty
184 - may now display additional fields in Multilink form menus
185 - #541941 ] changing multilink properties by mail
186 - #526730 ] search for messages capability
187 - #505180 ] split MailGW.handle_Message
188 - also changed cgi client since it was duplicating the functionality
190 Fixed:
191 - stop sending blank (whitespace-only) notes
192 - cleanup of serialisation for database storage
193 - node ids are now generated from a lockable store - no more race conditions
194 - sorting was applied to all nodes of the MultiLink class instead of
195 to the nodes that are actually linked to in the "field" template
196 function. This adds about 20+ seconds in the display of an issue if
197 your database has a 1000 or more issues in it.
198 - added missing documentation for a few of the config option values
199 - file upload broke if you didn't supply a change note
200 - fixed SCRIPT_NAME in ZRoundup for instances not at top level of Zope
201 (thanks dman)
202 - fixed some sorting issues that were breaking some unit tests under py2.2
203 - mailgw test output dir was confusing the init test (but only on 2.2 *shrug*)
204 - node caching now works, and gives a small boost in performance
205 - #449374 ] re-enable bsddb3 backend
206 bsddb3 backend now works, reinstating
207 - #551483 ] assignedto in Client.make_index_link
208 - made backends.__init__ be more specific about which ImportErrors it really
209 wants to ignore
210 - fixed the example addresses in the templates to use correct example domains
211 - cleaned out the template stylesheets, removing a bunch of junk that really
212 wasn't necessary (font specs, styles never used) and added a style for
213 message content
214 - build htmlbase if tests are run using CVS checkout
215 - #565979 ] code error in hyperdb.Class.find
216 - #565996 ] The "Attach a File to this Issue" fails
217 - #564271 ] find() and new properties
218 - #562130 ] cookie path generated from ZRoundup was wrong in some situations
219 - remove CR characters embedded in messages (ZRoundup)
220 - properly quote the email address and "real name" in all situations using the
221 'email' module if it is available and 'rfc822' otherwise
222 - #565992 ] if ISSUE_TRACKER_WEB doesn't have the trailing '/', add it
223 - use the rfc822 module to ensure that every (oddball) email address and
224 real-name is properly quoted
225 - #558867 ] ZRoundup redirect /instance requests to /instance/
226 - #569415 ] {version}
227 - #569178 ] type error
228 was fixed as part of the general cleanup of reactors
231 2002-03-25 - 0.4.1
232 Feature:
233 - use blobfiles in back_anydbm which is used in back_bsddb.
234 change test_db as dirlist does not work for subdirectories.
235 ATTENTION: blobfiles now creates subdirectories for files.
236 - add module blobfiles in backends with file access functions.
237 - roundup db catch only IOError in getfile.
238 - roundup db catches retrieving not existing files.
239 - #503204 ] mailgw needs a default class
240 - partially done - the setting of additional properties can wait for a
241 better configuration system.
242 - Alternate email addresses are now available for users. See the MIGRATION
243 file for info on how to activate the feature.
244 - #511168 ] Web interface: Adding new products
245 Classes that don't provide template html get a default edit interface now:
246 - access using the admin "class list" interface
247 - limited to admin-only
248 - requires the csv module from object-craft (url given if it's missing)
249 - Added popup help for classes using the classhelp html template function.
250 - add <display call="classhelp('priority', 'id,name,description')">
251 to an item page, and it generates a link to a popup window which displays
252 the id, name and description for the priority class. The description
253 field won't exist in most installations, but it will be added to the
254 default templates.
255 - #517734 ] web header customisation is obscure
256 - All messages sent to the nosy list are now encoded as
257 quoted-printable before they are sent.
258 - Fixed display of mutlilink properties when using the template
259 functions, menu and plain.
261 Fixed:
262 - Clean up mail handling, multipart handling.
263 - respect encodings in non multipart messages.
264 - makeHtmlBase: re.sub under python 2.2 did not replace '.', string.replace
265 does it.
266 - preamble in tepmlateBuilder mentioned htmldata
267 - mailgw checks encoding on first part too.
268 - #511586 ] unittest FAIL: testReldate_date
269 - Added a uniquely Roundup header to email, "X-Roundup-Name"
270 - All forms now have "double-submit" protection when Javascript is enabled
271 on the client-side.
272 - #516883 ] mail interface + ANONYMOUS_REGISTER
273 - #516854 ] "My Issues" and redisplay
274 - #517906 ] Attribute order in "View customisation"
275 - #514854 ] History: "User" is always ticket creator
276 - wasn't handling cvs parser feeding correctly
277 - fixed some problems in date calculations (calendar.py doesn't handle over-
278 and under-flow). Also, hour/minute/second intervals may now be more than
279 99 each.
280 - #527416 ] roundup-admin uses undefined value
281 - #527503 ] unfriendly init blowup when parent dir
282 (also handles UsageError correctly now in init)
283 - #524129 ] roundup-admin gets python path wrong
286 2002-01-24 - 0.4.0
287 Feature:
288 - much nicer history display (actualy real handling of property types etc)
289 - journal entries for link and mutlilink properties can be switched on or
290 off
291 - properties in change note are now sorted
292 - you can now use the roundup-admin tool pack the database
294 Fixed:
295 - the mail gateway now responds with an error message when invalid values
296 for arguments are specified for link or mutlilink properties
297 - modified unit test to check nosy and assignedto when specified as arguments
298 - handle attachments with no name (eg tnef)
299 - fixed setting nosy as argument in subject line
300 - fixed back_bsddb so it passed the journal tests
301 - fixed status changes in mail gateway (eg. unread -> chatting)
302 - we'll actually distribute the frontends directory now, as advertised...
303 - handle stripping of "AW:" from subject line
304 - htmltemplate list() wasn't sorting...
305 - unit tests for html templating (and re-enabled the listbox field for
306 multilinks)
307 - allow abbreviation of "help" in admin tool too.
308 - run_tests testReldate_date failed if LANG is 'german'
309 - mailgw failures (unexpected ones) are forwarded to the roundup admin
312 2002-01-16 - 0.4.0b2
313 Fixed:
314 - #495392 ] empty nosy -patch
315 - #500574 ] messageid must have format <part1@part2>
316 - fixed some problems with web editing and change detection
317 - mail splitting wasn't detecting responses in the same "section" as quoted
318 text
319 - missed a "from i18n import _" in date.py
320 - #501690 ] MIGRATION.txt incomplete
321 - #502342 ] pipe interface
322 - #502437 ] rogue reactor and unittest
323 - re-enabled dumbdbm when using python >2.1.1 (ie 2.1.2, 2.2)
324 - changed all config accesses so they access either the instance or the
325 config attriubute on the db. This means that all config is obtained from
326 instance_config instead of the mish-mash of classes. This will make
327 switching to a ConfigParser setup easier too, I hope.
328 - #502951 ] adding new properties to old database
329 - #502953 ] nosy-like treatment of other multilinks
330 - #503164 ] create and passwords
331 - plain rendering of links in the htmltemplate now generate a hyperlink to
332 the linked node's page.
333 - #503330 ] ANONYMOUS_REGISTER now applies to mail
334 - #503353 ] setting properties in initial email
335 - #502956 ] filtering by multilink not supported
336 - #503340 ] creating issue with [asignedto=p.ohly]
337 - #502949 ] index view for non-issues and redisplay
338 - #503793 ] changing assignedto resets nosy list
339 - lots of date/interval related changes:
340 - more relaxed date format for input
341 - handle None for date/interval properties
344 2002-01-08 - 0.4.0b1
345 Feature:
346 - Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
347 the instance.
348 - Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
349 signature info in e-mails.
350 - Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
351 - Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
352 - Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
353 - We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
354 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
355 bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
356 lot more work anyway...
357 - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
358 single transaction
359 - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
360 if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
361 during the session (up to the last commit).
362 - Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
363 - Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
364 (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
365 - Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
366 - Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
367 needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
368 - much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
369 - #496356 ] Use threading in messages
370 This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
371 using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
372 feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
374 Fixed:
375 - Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
376 - login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
377 - Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
378 gateway.
379 - Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
380 on a failure)
381 - We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
382 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
383 - #487480 ] roundup-server
384 - #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
385 - #489760 ] [issue] only subject
386 - fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
387 - fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
388 - web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
389 - we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
390 this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
391 cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
392 - envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
393 delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
394 - #495400 ] entering blanks
395 Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
396 for details.
397 - #496360 ] table width does not work
398 - detectors were being registered multiple times
399 - added tests for mailgw
402 2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
403 Feature:
404 - #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
405 - #473123 ] Change message generation for author
406 - MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
407 - Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
408 - Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
409 - "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
410 - roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
411 - roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
412 - roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
413 - users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
414 - incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
415 e-mail
416 - added a target version field to the extended issue schema
417 - added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
418 translatable messages
420 Fixed:
421 - Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
422 - 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
423 - Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
424 - roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
425 - Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
426 - Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
427 - bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
428 - bug #474749 ] indentations lost
429 - bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
430 - bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
431 - bug #477687 ] conforming html
432 - bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
433 - bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
434 - bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
435 - bug #477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
436 - newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
437 - bug #479511 ] mailgw to pop
438 - bug #479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
439 - bad error report in hyperdb
440 - roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
441 of processing
442 - roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
443 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
444 an error message to the roundup admin.
445 - fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
446 - errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
447 squashed)
448 - re-open the database as the author in mail handling
449 - missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
452 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
453 Feature:
454 - MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
455 - feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
456 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
457 information is displayed.
458 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
459 - Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
460 - Tabular display of nodes.
461 - Import and export via colon-separated files.
463 Changed:
464 - re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
465 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
467 Fixed:
468 - Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
469 - CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
470 - Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
471 - Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
472 - Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
473 - Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
474 - Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
475 - bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
476 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
477 - bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
478 as numbers now.
479 - bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
480 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
481 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
482 - bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
483 - bug #473126: Sender unknown
484 - bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
487 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
488 Fixed:
489 - Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
490 property values. This broke a lot of things.
493 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
494 Feature:
495 - roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
496 on the command-line.
497 - hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
498 properties.
499 - CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
501 Changed:
502 - Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
503 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
504 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
505 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
506 - The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
507 - The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
508 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
509 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
510 - Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
511 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
512 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
513 number of encoding systems.
514 - The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
515 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
516 documentation for details.)
518 Fixed:
519 - Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
520 Ping - has been removed.
521 - Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
522 - Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
523 - AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
524 - Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
525 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
526 - Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
527 an item now throws an exception.
528 - The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
529 - Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
533 --------------
535 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
536 Fixed:
537 - Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
538 - Missing import in mailgw.
541 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
542 Feature:
543 - Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
544 regular expressions now.
546 Fixed:
547 - Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
548 - Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
549 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
550 - Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
551 - Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
552 that the change note message is actually genrated.
553 - CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
554 - Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
555 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
556 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
557 - Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
558 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
559 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
562 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
563 Note:
564 - Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
566 Feature:
567 - Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
568 with bugs in roundup.init!
569 - Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
570 the tests.
571 - Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
573 Fixed:
574 - Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
575 signatures now too.
576 - Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
577 - Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
578 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
579 - Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
580 - Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
581 module name for the instances on import time.
584 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
585 Note:
586 - The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
587 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
589 Fixed:
590 - Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
591 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
594 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
595 Features:
596 - Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
597 should be linked somewhere.
598 - Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
599 - Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
600 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
601 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
602 cleanup the header up.
603 - Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
604 - Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
605 are displayed.
606 - Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
607 rebuild.
608 - Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
609 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
610 - Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
611 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
612 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
613 instructions, etc).
615 Fixed:
616 - Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
617 - Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
618 - Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
619 - Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
620 - 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
621 - mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
622 was creating nodes for.
623 - remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
624 - Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
625 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
626 names.
629 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
630 Big change:
631 - I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
632 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
633 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
634 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
635 code in "extended" either way.
637 Features:
638 - Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
639 we do anything distutils'y.
640 - Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
641 - Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
642 help and better command-line arg handling.
643 - The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
644 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
645 - Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
647 Fixed:
648 - One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
649 - Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
650 hard-coded to "issue".
651 - templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
652 - The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
653 properly.
654 - The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
655 nodeid) properly.
658 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
659 Features:
660 - Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
661 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
662 - Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
663 tests for multipart splitting.
664 - Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
665 - Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
666 - Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
667 - Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
668 - Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
669 behaviour.
670 - Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
671 - Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
672 it).
674 Fixed:
675 - Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
676 - New issue form handles lack of note better now.
677 - HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
678 - Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
679 - Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
680 query elements.
681 - Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
682 changed now.
685 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
686 Features:
687 - Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
688 - Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
689 directory as "overview.html".
691 Fixes:
692 - Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
693 "html" directory in instance home.
694 - Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
695 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
696 There you go...
697 - Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
698 strict about such things.
700 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
701 Features:
702 - Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
703 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
704 back-ends.
705 - Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
706 out-of-the-box
707 - Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
708 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
709 - Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
710 - Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
711 out-of-the-box.
712 - Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
713 - Added some unit tests.
715 Fixes:
716 - Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
717 - Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
718 - Fixed adding new issue with no change note
719 - Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
720 quoted.
721 - Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
722 message.
724 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
725 - Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
726 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
727 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
728 - Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
729 - Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
730 - Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
731 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
732 - Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
733 - Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
734 - Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
735 columns to sort by to 2.
736 - Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
737 ^text - search for text at start of fields
738 text$ - search for text at end of fields
739 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
740 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
741 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
742 - Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
745 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
746 - Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
747 the priority column isn't displayed.
748 - Thanks Anthony:
749 - added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
750 - added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
751 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
752 - python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
753 - better handling of db directory in initDB
754 - Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
755 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
756 properties, etc.
757 - Set the default index to sort on activity
760 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
761 - Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
762 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
764 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
765 - Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
766 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
767 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
768 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
