1 This file contains the changes to the Roundup system over time. The entries
2 are given with the most recent entry first.
4 2002-01-?? - 0.4.0b2
5 Fixed:
6 . #495392 ] empty nosy -patch
7 . #500574 ] messageid must have format <part1@part2>
8 . fixed some problems with web editing and change detection
9 . mail splitting wasn't detecting responses in the same "section" as quoted
10 text
11 . missed a "from i18n import _" in date.py
12 . #501690 ] MIGRATION.txt incomplete
13 . #502342 ] pipe interface
14 . #502437 ] rogue reactor and unittest
16 2002-01-08 - 0.4.0b1
17 Feature:
18 . Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
19 the instance.
20 . Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
21 signature info in e-mails.
22 . Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
23 . Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
24 . Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
25 . We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
26 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
27 bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
28 lot more work anyway...
29 - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
30 single transaction
31 - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
32 if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
33 during the session (up to the last commit).
34 . Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
35 . Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
36 (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
37 . Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
38 . Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
39 needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
40 . much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
41 . #496356 ] Use threading in messages
42 This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
43 using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
44 feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
46 Fixed:
47 . Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
48 . login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
49 . Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
50 gateway.
51 . Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
52 on a failure)
53 . We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
54 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
55 . #487480 ] roundup-server
56 . #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
57 . #489760 ] [issue] only subject
58 . fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
59 . fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
60 . web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
61 . we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
62 this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
63 cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
64 . envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
65 delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
66 . #495400 ] entering blanks
67 Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
68 for details.
69 . #496360 ] table width does not work
70 . detectors were being registered multiple times
71 . added tests for mailgw
74 2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
75 Feature:
76 . #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
77 . #473123 ] Change message generation for author
78 . MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
79 . Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
80 . Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
81 . "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
82 . roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
83 . roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
84 . roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
85 . users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
86 . incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
87 e-mail
88 . added a target version field to the extended issue schema
89 . added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
90 translatable messages
92 Fixed:
93 . Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
94 . 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
95 . Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
96 . roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
97 . Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
98 . Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
99 . bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
100 . bug #474749 ] indentations lost
101 . bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
102 . bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
103 . bug #477687 ] conforming html
104 . bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
105 . bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
106 . bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
107 . bug #477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
108 . newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
109 . bug #479511 ] mailgw to pop
110 . bug #479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
111 . bad error report in hyperdb
112 . roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
113 of processing
114 . roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
115 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
116 an error message to the roundup admin.
117 . fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
118 . errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
119 squashed)
120 . re-open the database as the author in mail handling
121 . missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
124 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
125 Feature:
126 . MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
127 . feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
128 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
129 information is displayed.
130 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
131 . Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
132 . Tabular display of nodes.
133 . Import and export via colon-separated files.
135 Changed:
136 . re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
137 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
139 Fixed:
140 . Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
141 . CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
142 . Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
143 . Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
144 . Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
145 . Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
146 . Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
147 . bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
148 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
149 . bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
150 as numbers now.
151 . bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
152 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
153 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
154 . bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
155 . bug #473126: Sender unknown
156 . bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
159 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
160 Fixed:
161 . Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
162 property values. This broke a lot of things.
165 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
166 Feature:
167 . roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
168 on the command-line.
169 . hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
170 properties.
171 . CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
173 Changed:
174 . Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
175 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
176 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
177 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
178 . The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
179 . The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
180 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
181 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
182 . Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
183 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
184 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
185 number of encoding systems.
186 . The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
187 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
188 documentation for details.)
190 Fixed:
191 . Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
192 Ping - has been removed.
193 . Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
194 . Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
195 . AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
196 . Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
197 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
198 . Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
199 an item now throws an exception.
200 . The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
201 . Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
205 --------------
207 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
208 Fixed:
209 . Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
210 . Missing import in mailgw.
213 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
214 Feature:
215 . Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
216 regular expressions now.
218 Fixed:
219 . Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
220 . Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
221 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
222 . Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
223 . Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
224 that the change note message is actually genrated.
225 . CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
226 . Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
227 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
228 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
229 . Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
230 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
231 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
234 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
235 Note:
236 . Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
238 Feature:
239 . Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
240 with bugs in roundup.init!
241 . Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
242 the tests.
243 . Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
245 Fixed:
246 . Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
247 signatures now too.
248 . Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
249 . Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
250 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
251 . Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
252 . Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
253 module name for the instances on import time.
256 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
257 Note:
258 . The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
259 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
261 Fixed:
262 . Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
263 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
266 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
267 Features:
268 . Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
269 should be linked somewhere.
270 . Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
271 . Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
272 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
273 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
274 cleanup the header up.
275 . Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
276 . Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
277 are displayed.
278 . Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
279 rebuild.
280 . Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
281 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
282 . Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
283 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
284 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
285 instructions, etc).
287 Fixed:
288 . Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
289 . Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
290 . Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
291 . Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
292 . 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
293 . mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
294 was creating nodes for.
295 . remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
296 . Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
297 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
298 names.
301 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
302 Big change:
303 . I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
304 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
305 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
306 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
307 code in "extended" either way.
309 Features:
310 . Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
311 we do anything distutils'y.
312 . Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
313 . Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
314 help and better command-line arg handling.
315 . The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
316 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
317 . Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
319 Fixed:
320 . One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
321 . Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
322 hard-coded to "issue".
323 . templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
324 . The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
325 properly.
326 . The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
327 nodeid) properly.
330 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
331 Features:
332 . Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
333 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
334 . Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
335 tests for multipart splitting.
336 . Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
337 . Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
338 . Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
339 . Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
340 . Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
341 behaviour.
342 . Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
343 . Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
344 it).
346 Fixed:
347 . Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
348 . New issue form handles lack of note better now.
349 . HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
350 . Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
351 . Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
352 query elements.
353 . Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
354 changed now.
357 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
358 Features:
359 . Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
360 . Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
361 directory as "overview.html".
363 Fixes:
364 . Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
365 "html" directory in instance home.
366 . Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
367 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
368 There you go...
369 . Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
370 strict about such things.
372 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
373 Features:
374 . Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
375 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
376 back-ends.
377 . Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
378 out-of-the-box
379 . Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
380 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
381 . Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
382 . Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
383 out-of-the-box.
384 . Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
385 . Added some unit tests.
387 Fixes:
388 . Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
389 . Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
390 . Fixed adding new issue with no change note
391 . Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
392 quoted.
393 . Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
394 message.
396 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
397 . Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
398 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
399 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
400 . Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
401 . Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
402 . Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
403 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
404 . Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
405 . Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
406 . Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
407 columns to sort by to 2.
408 . Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
409 ^text - search for text at start of fields
410 text$ - search for text at end of fields
411 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
412 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
413 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
414 . Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
417 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
418 . Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
419 the priority column isn't displayed.
420 . Thanks Anthony:
421 . added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
422 . added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
423 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
424 . python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
425 . better handling of db directory in initDB
426 . Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
427 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
428 properties, etc.
429 . Set the default index to sort on activity
432 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
433 . Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
434 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
436 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
437 . Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
438 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
439 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
440 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
