1 This file contains the changes to the Roundup system over time. The entries
2 are given with the most recent entry first.
4 2001-10-?? - 0.3.0
5 Feature:
6 . MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
7 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
8 . Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
9 . Tabular display of nodes.
10 . Import and export via colon-separated files.
12 Fixed:
13 . Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
14 . CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
15 . Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
16 . Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
17 . Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
18 . Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
19 . Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
20 . bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
21 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
22 . bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
23 as numbers now.
24 . bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
25 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
26 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
27 . bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
28 . bug #473126: Sender unknown
29 . bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
31 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
32 Fixed:
33 . Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
34 property values. This broke a lot of things.
37 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
38 Feature:
39 . roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
40 on the command-line.
41 . hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
42 properties.
43 . CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
45 Changed:
46 . Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
47 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
48 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
49 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
50 . The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
51 . The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
52 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
53 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
54 . Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
55 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
56 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
57 number of encoding systems.
58 . The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
59 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
60 documentation for details.)
62 Fixed:
63 . Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
64 Ping - has been removed.
65 . Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
66 . Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
67 . AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
68 . Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
69 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
70 . Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
71 an item now throws an exception.
72 . The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
73 . Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
77 --------------
79 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
80 Fixed:
81 . Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
82 . Missing import in mailgw.
85 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
86 Feature:
87 . Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
88 regular expressions now.
90 Fixed:
91 . Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
92 . Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
93 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
94 . Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
95 . Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
96 that the change note message is actually genrated.
97 . CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
98 . Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
99 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
100 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
101 . Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
102 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
103 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
106 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
107 Note:
108 . Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
110 Feature:
111 . Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
112 with bugs in roundup.init!
113 . Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
114 the tests.
115 . Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
117 Fixed:
118 . Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
119 signatures now too.
120 . Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
121 . Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
122 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
123 . Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
124 . Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
125 module name for the instances on import time.
128 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
129 Note:
130 . The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
131 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
133 Fixed:
134 . Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
135 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
138 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
139 Features:
140 . Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
141 should be linked somewhere.
142 . Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
143 . Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
144 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
145 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
146 cleanup the header up.
147 . Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
148 . Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
149 are displayed.
150 . Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
151 rebuild.
152 . Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
153 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
154 . Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
155 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
156 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
157 instructions, etc).
159 Fixed:
160 . Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
161 . Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
162 . Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
163 . Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
164 . 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
165 . mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
166 was creating nodes for.
167 . remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
168 . Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
169 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
170 names.
173 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
174 Big change:
175 . I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
176 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
177 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
178 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
179 code in "extended" either way.
181 Features:
182 . Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
183 we do anything distutils'y.
184 . Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
185 . Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
186 help and better command-line arg handling.
187 . The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
188 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
189 . Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
191 Fixed:
192 . One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
193 . Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
194 hard-coded to "issue".
195 . templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
196 . The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
197 properly.
198 . The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
199 nodeid) properly.
202 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
203 Features:
204 . Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
205 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
206 . Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
207 tests for multipart splitting.
208 . Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
209 . Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
210 . Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
211 . Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
212 . Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
213 behaviour.
214 . Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
215 . Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
216 it).
218 Fixed:
219 . Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
220 . New issue form handles lack of note better now.
221 . HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
222 . Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
223 . Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
224 query elements.
225 . Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
226 changed now.
229 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
230 Features:
231 . Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
232 . Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
233 directory as "overview.html".
235 Fixes:
236 . Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
237 "html" directory in instance home.
238 . Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
239 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
240 There you go...
241 . Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
242 strict about such things.
244 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
245 Features:
246 . Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
247 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
248 back-ends.
249 . Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
250 out-of-the-box
251 . Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
252 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
253 . Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
254 . Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
255 out-of-the-box.
256 . Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
257 . Added some unit tests.
259 Fixes:
260 . Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
261 . Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
262 . Fixed adding new issue with no change note
263 . Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
264 quoted.
265 . Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
266 message.
268 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
269 . Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
270 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
271 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
272 . Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
273 . Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
274 . Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
275 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
276 . Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
277 . Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
278 . Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
279 columns to sort by to 2.
280 . Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
281 ^text - search for text at start of fields
282 text$ - search for text at end of fields
283 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
284 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
285 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
286 . Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
289 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
290 . Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
291 the priority column isn't displayed.
292 . Thanks Anthony:
293 . added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
294 . added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
295 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
296 . python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
297 . better handling of db directory in initDB
298 . Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
299 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
300 properties, etc.
301 . Set the default index to sort on activity
304 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
305 . Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
306 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
308 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
309 . Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
310 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
311 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
312 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
