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-?? - 0.4.0??
5 Feature:
6 . much nicer history display (actualy real handling of property types etc)
7 . journal entries for link and mutlilink properties can be switched on or
8 off
10 Fixed:
11 . handle attachments with no name (eg tnef)
14 2002-01-16 - 0.4.0b2
15 Fixed:
16 . #495392 ] empty nosy -patch
17 . #500574 ] messageid must have format <part1@part2>
18 . fixed some problems with web editing and change detection
19 . mail splitting wasn't detecting responses in the same "section" as quoted
20 text
21 . missed a "from i18n import _" in date.py
22 . #501690 ] MIGRATION.txt incomplete
23 . #502342 ] pipe interface
24 . #502437 ] rogue reactor and unittest
25 . re-enabled dumbdbm when using python >2.1.1 (ie 2.1.2, 2.2)
26 . changed all config accesses so they access either the instance or the
27 config attriubute on the db. This means that all config is obtained from
28 instance_config instead of the mish-mash of classes. This will make
29 switching to a ConfigParser setup easier too, I hope.
30 . #502951 ] adding new properties to old database
31 . #502953 ] nosy-like treatment of other multilinks
32 . #503164 ] create and passwords
33 . plain rendering of links in the htmltemplate now generate a hyperlink to
34 the linked node's page.
35 . #503330 ] ANONYMOUS_REGISTER now applies to mail
36 . #503353 ] setting properties in initial email
37 . #502956 ] filtering by multilink not supported
38 . #503340 ] creating issue with [asignedto=p.ohly]
39 . #502949 ] index view for non-issues and redisplay
40 . #503793 ] changing assignedto resets nosy list
41 . lots of date/interval related changes:
42 - more relaxed date format for input
43 - handle None for date/interval properties
46 2002-01-08 - 0.4.0b1
47 Feature:
48 . Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
49 the instance.
50 . Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
51 signature info in e-mails.
52 . Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
53 . Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
54 . Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
55 . We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
56 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
57 bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
58 lot more work anyway...
59 - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
60 single transaction
61 - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
62 if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
63 during the session (up to the last commit).
64 . Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
65 . Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
66 (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
67 . Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
68 . Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
69 needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
70 . much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
71 . #496356 ] Use threading in messages
72 This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
73 using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
74 feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
76 Fixed:
77 . Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
78 . login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
79 . Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
80 gateway.
81 . Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
82 on a failure)
83 . We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
84 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
85 . #487480 ] roundup-server
86 . #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
87 . #489760 ] [issue] only subject
88 . fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
89 . fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
90 . web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
91 . we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
92 this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
93 cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
94 . envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
95 delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
96 . #495400 ] entering blanks
97 Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
98 for details.
99 . #496360 ] table width does not work
100 . detectors were being registered multiple times
101 . added tests for mailgw
104 2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
105 Feature:
106 . #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
107 . #473123 ] Change message generation for author
108 . MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
109 . Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
110 . Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
111 . "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
112 . roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
113 . roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
114 . roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
115 . users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
116 . incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
117 e-mail
118 . added a target version field to the extended issue schema
119 . added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
120 translatable messages
122 Fixed:
123 . Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
124 . 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
125 . Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
126 . roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
127 . Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
128 . Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
129 . bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
130 . bug #474749 ] indentations lost
131 . bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
132 . bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
133 . bug #477687 ] conforming html
134 . bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
135 . bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
136 . bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
137 . bug #477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
138 . newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
139 . bug #479511 ] mailgw to pop
140 . bug #479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
141 . bad error report in hyperdb
142 . roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
143 of processing
144 . roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
145 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
146 an error message to the roundup admin.
147 . fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
148 . errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
149 squashed)
150 . re-open the database as the author in mail handling
151 . missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
154 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
155 Feature:
156 . MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
157 . feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
158 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
159 information is displayed.
160 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
161 . Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
162 . Tabular display of nodes.
163 . Import and export via colon-separated files.
165 Changed:
166 . re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
167 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
169 Fixed:
170 . Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
171 . CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
172 . Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
173 . Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
174 . Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
175 . Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
176 . Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
177 . bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
178 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
179 . bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
180 as numbers now.
181 . bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
182 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
183 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
184 . bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
185 . bug #473126: Sender unknown
186 . bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
189 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
190 Fixed:
191 . Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
192 property values. This broke a lot of things.
195 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
196 Feature:
197 . roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
198 on the command-line.
199 . hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
200 properties.
201 . CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
203 Changed:
204 . Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
205 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
206 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
207 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
208 . The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
209 . The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
210 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
211 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
212 . Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
213 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
214 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
215 number of encoding systems.
216 . The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
217 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
218 documentation for details.)
220 Fixed:
221 . Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
222 Ping - has been removed.
223 . Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
224 . Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
225 . AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
226 . Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
227 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
228 . Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
229 an item now throws an exception.
230 . The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
231 . Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
235 --------------
237 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
238 Fixed:
239 . Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
240 . Missing import in mailgw.
243 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
244 Feature:
245 . Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
246 regular expressions now.
248 Fixed:
249 . Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
250 . Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
251 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
252 . Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
253 . Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
254 that the change note message is actually genrated.
255 . CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
256 . Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
257 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
258 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
259 . Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
260 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
261 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
264 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
265 Note:
266 . Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
268 Feature:
269 . Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
270 with bugs in roundup.init!
271 . Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
272 the tests.
273 . Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
275 Fixed:
276 . Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
277 signatures now too.
278 . Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
279 . Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
280 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
281 . Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
282 . Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
283 module name for the instances on import time.
286 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
287 Note:
288 . The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
289 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
291 Fixed:
292 . Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
293 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
296 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
297 Features:
298 . Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
299 should be linked somewhere.
300 . Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
301 . Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
302 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
303 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
304 cleanup the header up.
305 . Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
306 . Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
307 are displayed.
308 . Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
309 rebuild.
310 . Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
311 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
312 . Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
313 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
314 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
315 instructions, etc).
317 Fixed:
318 . Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
319 . Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
320 . Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
321 . Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
322 . 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
323 . mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
324 was creating nodes for.
325 . remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
326 . Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
327 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
328 names.
331 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
332 Big change:
333 . I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
334 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
335 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
336 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
337 code in "extended" either way.
339 Features:
340 . Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
341 we do anything distutils'y.
342 . Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
343 . Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
344 help and better command-line arg handling.
345 . The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
346 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
347 . Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
349 Fixed:
350 . One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
351 . Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
352 hard-coded to "issue".
353 . templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
354 . The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
355 properly.
356 . The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
357 nodeid) properly.
360 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
361 Features:
362 . Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
363 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
364 . Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
365 tests for multipart splitting.
366 . Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
367 . Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
368 . Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
369 . Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
370 . Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
371 behaviour.
372 . Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
373 . Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
374 it).
376 Fixed:
377 . Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
378 . New issue form handles lack of note better now.
379 . HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
380 . Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
381 . Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
382 query elements.
383 . Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
384 changed now.
387 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
388 Features:
389 . Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
390 . Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
391 directory as "overview.html".
393 Fixes:
394 . Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
395 "html" directory in instance home.
396 . Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
397 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
398 There you go...
399 . Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
400 strict about such things.
402 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
403 Features:
404 . Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
405 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
406 back-ends.
407 . Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
408 out-of-the-box
409 . Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
410 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
411 . Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
412 . Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
413 out-of-the-box.
414 . Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
415 . Added some unit tests.
417 Fixes:
418 . Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
419 . Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
420 . Fixed adding new issue with no change note
421 . Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
422 quoted.
423 . Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
424 message.
426 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
427 . Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
428 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
429 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
430 . Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
431 . Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
432 . Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
433 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
434 . Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
435 . Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
436 . Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
437 columns to sort by to 2.
438 . Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
439 ^text - search for text at start of fields
440 text$ - search for text at end of fields
441 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
442 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
443 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
444 . Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
447 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
448 . Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
449 the priority column isn't displayed.
450 . Thanks Anthony:
451 . added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
452 . added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
453 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
454 . python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
455 . better handling of db directory in initDB
456 . Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
457 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
458 properties, etc.
459 . Set the default index to sort on activity
462 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
463 . Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
464 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
466 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
467 . Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
468 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
469 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
470 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
