5 - better hyperlinking in web message texts (sf bug 669777)
6 - support setting of properties on message and file through web and
7 email interface (thanks John Rouillard)
8 - allow additional control over the roundupdb email sending (explicit
9 cc addresses, different from address and different nosy list property)
10 (thanks John Rouillard)
11 - applied patch for nicer history display (sf feature 638280)
12 - cleaning old unused sessions only once per hour, not on every cgi
13 request. It is greatly improves web interface performance, especially

18 - fixed bug in metakit unlink journalling
19 - metakit now handles "unset" for most types (not Number and Boolean)
20 - fixed bug in metakit search-by-ID

22 converted from any encoding to utf-8, outgoing messages are encoded
23 according to rfc2822 (sf bug 568873)

109 - updated email package address formatting (deprecation)

163 - handling of journal values in export/import
164 - password edit now has a confirmation field
165 - registration error punts back to register page
166 - gadfly backend now handles changes to the schema - but only one property
167 at a time
168 - cgi.client base URL is now obtained from the config TRACKER_WEB
169 - request.url has gone away - there's too much magic in trying to figure
170 what it should be
171 - cgi-bin script redirects to https now if the request was https
172 - FileClass "content" property wasn't being returned by getprops() in most
173 backends
174 - we now verify instance attributes on instance open and throw a useful error
175 if they're not all there
176 - sf 611217 ] menu() has problems when labelprop==None
177 - verify contents of tracker module when the tracker is opened
178 - many performance improvements in *dbm and sql backends
179 - mailgw was missing an "import sys"
180 - setup now installs scripts with python -O flag, doubling performance in some

195 - revamped user guide, customisation guide, added maintenance guide
196 - merge Zope Collector #538 fix from ZPT CVS trunk (path expressions with a

222 Fixed:
223 - #576086 ] dumb copying mistake (frontends/ZRoundup.py)

229 - web forms may now unset Link values (like assignedto)
230 - cleanup: moved roundup.templatebuilder to roundup.templates.builder
231 - instance __init__ no longer silently traps dbinit import errors
233 Feature:
234 - new backend for metakit (thanks Gordon McMillan)
235 - new backend for gadfly (it's as done as it's going to get)
236 - further split the dbm backends from the core code, allowing easier
237 non-dict-like backends (eg metakit, RDB)
238 - implemented and used the new access control mechanisms (Permissions, Roles)
239 (see doc/security.txt)
240 - switched templating to use Zope's PageTemplates (yay!)
241 - switched to sessions for web authentication
242 - added Boolean and Number types
243 - fixed the journal bloat
244 - updated design document for new access controls

249 - the page layout is now templatable
250 - re-worked cgi interface to abstract out the explicit "issue" interface
251 - have index page handle mid-page errors better so header and footer are
252 still visible
253 - we handle "not found", access and item page render errors better
254 - fixed double-submit by having new-item-submit redirect at end
255 - daemonify roundup-server (fork, logfile, pidfile)
256 - modify cgitb to display PageTemplate errors better
257 - rename to "instance" to "tracker"
258 - have roundup.cgi pick up tracker config from the environment
259 - revamped look and feel in web interface
260 - cleaned up stylesheet usage
261 - several bug fixes and documentation fixes
262 - added is_retired test to hyperdb.Class
263 - added capability to save queries:
264 - a query Class with name, klass (to search) and url (query string)
265 properties
266 - a Multilink to query on user called queries
267 - html templates for query, and a list of queries in user.item
268 - search form has Save button & name input
269 - saved queries put in menu in pagehead
270 - for migration, none of the above is required and old behavior preserved.
271 - showquery translates search form <-> query string
272 - cleaned up the indexer code:
273 - it splits more words out
274 - removed code we'll never use (roundup.roundup_indexer has the full
275 implementation, and replaces roundup.indexer)
276 - only index text/plain and rfc822/message (ideas for other text formats to
277 index are welcome)
278 - added simple unit test for indexer. Needs more tests for regression.
279 - all String properties may now be indexed too. Currently there's a bit of
280 "issue" specific code in the actual searching which needs to be
281 addressed. In a nutshell:
282 + pass 'indexme="yes"' as a String() property initialisation arg, eg:
283 file = FileClass(db, "file", name=String(), type=String(),
284 comment=String(indexme="yes"))
285 + the comment will then be indexed and be searchable, with the results
286 related back to the issue that the file is linked to
287 - as a result of this work, the FileClass has a default MIME type that may
288 be overridden in a subclass, or by the use of a "type" property as is
289 done in the default templates.
290 - the regeneration of the indexes (if necessary) is done once the schema is
291 set up in the dbinit.
292 - new "reindex" command in roundup-admin used to force regeneration of the
293 index
294 - added email display function - mangles email addrs so they're not so easily
295 scraped from the web
296 - switched to using a session-based web login
297 - made mailgw handle set and modify operations on multilinks (bug #579094)
298 - fixed the journal bloat from multilink changes - we just log the add or
299 remove operations, not the whole list
302 2002-06-24 0.4.2
303 Fixed:
304 - Cleaned up the hyperdb unit tests.
305 - Applied patch from Andrew W. Nosenko to give nicer Unauthorised message
306 when anonymous user tries to edit. Should've been applied in 0.4.2pr1. Oops.
307 - Added more detailed note to MIGRATION regarding the detectors changes.
310 2002-06-19 0.4.2pr1
311 Feature:
312 - added a "detectors" directory for people to put their useful auditors and
313 reactors in. Note - the roundupdb.IssueClass.sendmessage method has been
314 split and renamed "nosymessage" specifically for things like the nosy
315 reactor, and "send_message" which just sends the message.
316 - link() htmltemplate function now has a "showid" option for links and
317 multilinks. When true, it only displays the linked node id as the anchor
318 text. The link value is displayed as a tooltip using the title anchor
319 attribute.
320 To use in eg. the superseder field, have something like this:
321 <td>
322 <display call="field('superseder', showid=1)">
323 <display call="classhelp('issue', 'id,title', label='list', width=500)">
324 <property name="superseder">
325 <br>View: <display call="link('superseder', showid=1)">
326 </property>
327 </td>
328 - stripping of the email message body can now be controlled through the
329 config variables EMAIL_KEEP_QUOTED_TEXT and EMAIL_LEAVE_BODY_UNCHANGED.
330 - all database files created are now group readable and writable.
331 - added option to automatically add the authors and recipients of messages
332 to the nosy lists with the options ADD_AUTHOR_TO_NOSY (default 'new') and
333 ADD_RECIPIENTS_TO_NOSY (default 'new'). These settings emulate the current
334 behaviour. Setting them to 'yes' will add the author/recipients to the nosy
335 on messages that create issues and followup messages.
336 - reverting to dates for intervals > 2 months sucks
337 - changed the default message list in issues to display the message body
338 - applied patch #558876 ] cgi client customization
339 - split instance initialisation into two steps, allowing config changes
340 before the database is initialised.
341 - don't create an empty message on email issue creation if the email is empty
342 - may now display additional fields in Multilink form menus
343 - #541941 ] changing multilink properties by mail
344 - #526730 ] search for messages capability
345 - #505180 ] split MailGW.handle_Message
346 - also changed cgi client since it was duplicating the functionality
348 Fixed:
349 - stop sending blank (whitespace-only) notes
350 - cleanup of serialisation for database storage
351 - node ids are now generated from a lockable store - no more race conditions
352 - sorting was applied to all nodes of the MultiLink class instead of
353 to the nodes that are actually linked to in the "field" template
354 function. This adds about 20+ seconds in the display of an issue if
355 your database has a 1000 or more issues in it.
356 - added missing documentation for a few of the config option values
357 - file upload broke if you didn't supply a change note
358 - fixed SCRIPT_NAME in ZRoundup for instances not at top level of Zope
359 (thanks dman)
360 - fixed some sorting issues that were breaking some unit tests under py2.2
361 - mailgw test output dir was confusing the init test (but only on 2.2 *shrug*)
362 - node caching now works, and gives a small boost in performance
363 - #449374 ] re-enable bsddb3 backend
364 bsddb3 backend now works, reinstating
365 - #551483 ] assignedto in Client.make_index_link
366 - made backends.__init__ be more specific about which ImportErrors it really
367 wants to ignore
368 - fixed the example addresses in the templates to use correct example domains
369 - cleaned out the template stylesheets, removing a bunch of junk that really
370 wasn't necessary (font specs, styles never used) and added a style for
371 message content
372 - build htmlbase if tests are run using CVS checkout
373 - #565979 ] code error in hyperdb.Class.find
374 - #565996 ] The "Attach a File to this Issue" fails
375 - #564271 ] find() and new properties
376 - #562130 ] cookie path generated from ZRoundup was wrong in some situations
377 - remove CR characters embedded in messages (ZRoundup)
378 - properly quote the email address and "real name" in all situations using the
379 'email' module if it is available and 'rfc822' otherwise
380 - #565992 ] if ISSUE_TRACKER_WEB doesn't have the trailing '/', add it
381 - use the rfc822 module to ensure that every (oddball) email address and
382 real-name is properly quoted
383 - #558867 ] ZRoundup redirect /instance requests to /instance/
384 - #569415 ] {version}
385 - #569178 ] type error
386 was fixed as part of the general cleanup of reactors
389 2002-03-25 - 0.4.1
390 Feature:
391 - use blobfiles in back_anydbm which is used in back_bsddb.
392 change test_db as dirlist does not work for subdirectories.
393 ATTENTION: blobfiles now creates subdirectories for files.
394 - add module blobfiles in backends with file access functions.
395 - roundup db catch only IOError in getfile.
396 - roundup db catches retrieving not existing files.
397 - #503204 ] mailgw needs a default class
398 - partially done - the setting of additional properties can wait for a
399 better configuration system.
400 - Alternate email addresses are now available for users. See the MIGRATION
401 file for info on how to activate the feature.
402 - #511168 ] Web interface: Adding new products
403 Classes that don't provide template html get a default edit interface now:
404 - access using the admin "class list" interface
405 - limited to admin-only
406 - requires the csv module from object-craft (url given if it's missing)
407 - Added popup help for classes using the classhelp html template function.
408 - add <display call="classhelp('priority', 'id,name,description')">
409 to an item page, and it generates a link to a popup window which displays
410 the id, name and description for the priority class. The description
411 field won't exist in most installations, but it will be added to the
412 default templates.
413 - #517734 ] web header customisation is obscure
414 - All messages sent to the nosy list are now encoded as
415 quoted-printable before they are sent.
416 - Fixed display of mutlilink properties when using the template
417 functions, menu and plain.
419 Fixed:
420 - Clean up mail handling, multipart handling.
421 - respect encodings in non multipart messages.
422 - makeHtmlBase: re.sub under python 2.2 did not replace '.', string.replace
423 does it.
424 - preamble in tepmlateBuilder mentioned htmldata
425 - mailgw checks encoding on first part too.
426 - #511586 ] unittest FAIL: testReldate_date

433 - #514854 ] History: "User" is always ticket creator
434 - wasn't handling cvs parser feeding correctly
435 - fixed some problems in date calculations (calendar.py doesn't handle over-
436 and under-flow). Also, hour/minute/second intervals may now be more than
437 99 each.
438 - #527416 ] roundup-admin uses undefined value
439 - #527503 ] unfriendly init blowup when parent dir
440 (also handles UsageError correctly now in init)

459 - fixed status changes in mail gateway (eg. unread -> chatting)
460 - we'll actually distribute the frontends directory now, as advertised...
461 - handle stripping of "AW:" from subject line
462 - htmltemplate list() wasn't sorting...
463 - unit tests for html templating (and re-enabled the listbox field for
464 multilinks)
465 - allow abbreviation of "help" in admin tool too.
466 - run_tests testReldate_date failed if LANG is 'german'
467 - mailgw failures (unexpected ones) are forwarded to the roundup admin
470 2002-01-16 - 0.4.0b2
471 Fixed:
472 - #495392 ] empty nosy -patch
473 - #500574 ] messageid must have format <part1@part2>
474 - fixed some problems with web editing and change detection
475 - mail splitting wasn't detecting responses in the same "section" as quoted
476 text
477 - missed a "from i18n import _" in date.py
478 - #501690 ] MIGRATION.txt incomplete
479 - #502342 ] pipe interface
480 - #502437 ] rogue reactor and unittest
481 - re-enabled dumbdbm when using python >2.1.1 (ie 2.1.2, 2.2)
482 - changed all config accesses so they access either the instance or the
483 config attriubute on the db. This means that all config is obtained from
484 instance_config instead of the mish-mash of classes. This will make
485 switching to a ConfigParser setup easier too, I hope.
486 - #502951 ] adding new properties to old database
487 - #502953 ] nosy-like treatment of other multilinks
488 - #503164 ] create and passwords
489 - plain rendering of links in the htmltemplate now generate a hyperlink to
490 the linked node's page.
491 - #503330 ] ANONYMOUS_REGISTER now applies to mail
492 - #503353 ] setting properties in initial email
493 - #502956 ] filtering by multilink not supported
494 - #503340 ] creating issue with [asignedto=p.ohly]
495 - #502949 ] index view for non-issues and redisplay
496 - #503793 ] changing assignedto resets nosy list
497 - lots of date/interval related changes:
498 - more relaxed date format for input
499 - handle None for date/interval properties
502 2002-01-08 - 0.4.0b1
503 Feature:
504 - Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
505 the instance.
506 - Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
507 signature info in e-mails.
508 - Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
509 - Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
510 - Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
511 - We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
512 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
513 bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
514 lot more work anyway...
515 - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
516 single transaction
517 - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
518 if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
519 during the session (up to the last commit).
520 - Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
521 - Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
522 (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
523 - Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
524 - Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
525 needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
526 - much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
527 - #496356 ] Use threading in messages
528 This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
529 using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
530 feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
532 Fixed:
533 - Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
534 - login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
535 - Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
536 gateway.
537 - Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
538 on a failure)
539 - We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
540 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
541 - #487480 ] roundup-server
542 - #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
543 - #489760 ] [issue] only subject
544 - fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
545 - fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
546 - web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
547 - we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
548 this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
549 cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
550 - envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
551 delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
552 - #495400 ] entering blanks
553 Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
554 for details.
555 - #496360 ] table width does not work
556 - detectors were being registered multiple times
557 - added tests for mailgw
560 2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
561 Feature:
562 - #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
563 - #473123 ] Change message generation for author
564 - MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
565 - Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
566 - Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
567 - "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
568 - roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
569 - roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
570 - roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
571 - users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
572 - incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
573 e-mail
574 - added a target version field to the extended issue schema
575 - added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
576 translatable messages
578 Fixed:
579 - Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
580 - 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
581 - Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
582 - roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
583 - Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
584 - Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
585 - bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
586 - bug #474749 ] indentations lost
587 - bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
588 - bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
589 - bug #477687 ] conforming html
590 - bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
591 - bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
592 - bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
593 - bug #477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
594 - newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
595 - bug #479511 ] mailgw to pop
596 - bug #479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
597 - bad error report in hyperdb
598 - roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
599 of processing
600 - roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
601 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
602 an error message to the roundup admin.
603 - fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
604 - errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
605 squashed)
606 - re-open the database as the author in mail handling
607 - missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
610 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
611 Feature:
612 - MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
613 - feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
614 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
615 information is displayed.
616 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
617 - Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
618 - Tabular display of nodes.
619 - Import and export via colon-separated files.
621 Changed:
622 - re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
623 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
625 Fixed:
626 - Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
627 - CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
628 - Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
629 - Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
630 - Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
631 - Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
632 - Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
633 - bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
634 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
635 - bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
636 as numbers now.
637 - bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
638 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
639 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
640 - bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
641 - bug #473126: Sender unknown
642 - bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
645 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
646 Fixed:
647 - Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
648 property values. This broke a lot of things.
651 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
652 Feature:
653 - roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
654 on the command-line.
655 - hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
656 properties.
657 - CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
659 Changed:
660 - Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
661 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
662 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
663 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
664 - The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
665 - The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
666 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
667 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
668 - Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
669 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
670 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
671 number of encoding systems.
672 - The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
673 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
674 documentation for details.)
676 Fixed:
677 - Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
678 Ping - has been removed.
679 - Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
680 - Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
681 - AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
682 - Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
683 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
684 - Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
685 an item now throws an exception.
686 - The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
687 - Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
691 --------------
693 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
694 Fixed:
695 - Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
696 - Missing import in mailgw.
699 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
700 Feature:
701 - Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
702 regular expressions now.
704 Fixed:
705 - Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
706 - Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
707 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
708 - Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
709 - Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
710 that the change note message is actually genrated.
711 - CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
712 - Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
713 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
714 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
715 - Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
716 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
717 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
720 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
721 Note:
722 - Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
724 Feature:
725 - Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
726 with bugs in roundup.init!
727 - Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
728 the tests.
729 - Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
731 Fixed:
732 - Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
733 signatures now too.
734 - Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
735 - Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
736 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
737 - Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
738 - Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
739 module name for the instances on import time.
742 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
743 Note:
744 - The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
745 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
747 Fixed:
748 - Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
749 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
752 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
753 Features:
754 - Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
755 should be linked somewhere.
756 - Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
757 - Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
758 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
759 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
760 cleanup the header up.
761 - Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
762 - Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
763 are displayed.
764 - Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
765 rebuild.
766 - Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
767 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
768 - Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
769 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
770 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
771 instructions, etc).
773 Fixed:
774 - Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
775 - Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
776 - Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
777 - Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
778 - 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
779 - mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
780 was creating nodes for.
781 - remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
782 - Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
783 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
784 names.
787 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
788 Big change:
789 - I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
790 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
791 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
792 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
793 code in "extended" either way.
795 Features:
796 - Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
797 we do anything distutils'y.
798 - Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
799 - Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
800 help and better command-line arg handling.
801 - The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
802 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
803 - Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
805 Fixed:
806 - One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
807 - Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
808 hard-coded to "issue".
809 - templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
810 - The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
811 properly.
812 - The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
813 nodeid) properly.
816 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
817 Features:
818 - Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
819 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
820 - Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
821 tests for multipart splitting.
822 - Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
823 - Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
824 - Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
825 - Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
826 - Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
827 behaviour.
828 - Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
829 - Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
830 it).
832 Fixed:
833 - Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
834 - New issue form handles lack of note better now.
835 - HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
836 - Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
837 - Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
838 query elements.
839 - Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
840 changed now.
843 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
844 Features:
845 - Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
846 - Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
847 directory as "overview.html".
849 Fixes:
850 - Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
851 "html" directory in instance home.
852 - Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
853 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
854 There you go...
855 - Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
856 strict about such things.
858 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
859 Features:
860 - Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
861 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
862 back-ends.
863 - Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
864 out-of-the-box
865 - Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
866 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
867 - Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
868 - Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
869 out-of-the-box.
870 - Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
871 - Added some unit tests.
873 Fixes:
874 - Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
875 - Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
876 - Fixed adding new issue with no change note
877 - Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
878 quoted.
879 - Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
880 message.
882 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
883 - Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
884 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
885 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
886 - Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
887 - Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
888 - Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
889 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
890 - Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
891 - Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
892 - Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
893 columns to sort by to 2.
894 - Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
895 ^text - search for text at start of fields
896 text$ - search for text at end of fields
897 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
898 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
899 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
900 - Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
903 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
904 - Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
905 the priority column isn't displayed.
906 - Thanks Anthony:
907 - added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
908 - added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
909 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
910 - python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
911 - better handling of db directory in initDB
912 - Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
913 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
914 properties, etc.
915 - Set the default index to sort on activity
918 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
919 - Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
920 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
922 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
923 - Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
924 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
925 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
926 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
