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
15 . re-enabled dumbdbm when using python >2.1.1 (ie 2.1.2, 2.2)
16 . changed all config accesses so they access either the instance or the
17 config attriubute on the db. This means that all config is obtained from
18 instance_config instead of the mish-mash of classes. This will make
19 switching to a ConfigParser setup easier too, I hope.
20 . #502951 ] adding new properties to old database
21 . #502953 ] nosy-like treatment of other multilinks
22 . #503164 ] create and passwords
23 . plain rendering of links in the htmltemplate now generate a hyperlink to
24 the linked node's page.
25 . #503330 ] ANONYMOUS_REGISTER now applies to mail
28 2002-01-08 - 0.4.0b1
29 Feature:
30 . Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
31 the instance.
32 . Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
33 signature info in e-mails.
34 . Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
35 . Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
36 . Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
37 . We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
38 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
39 bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
40 lot more work anyway...
41 - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
42 single transaction
43 - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
44 if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
45 during the session (up to the last commit).
46 . Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
47 . Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
48 (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
49 . Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
50 . Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
51 needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
52 . much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
53 . #496356 ] Use threading in messages
54 This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
55 using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
56 feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
58 Fixed:
59 . Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
60 . login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
61 . Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
62 gateway.
63 . Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
64 on a failure)
65 . We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
66 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
67 . #487480 ] roundup-server
68 . #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
69 . #489760 ] [issue] only subject
70 . fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
71 . fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
72 . web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
73 . we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
74 this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
75 cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
76 . envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
77 delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
78 . #495400 ] entering blanks
79 Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
80 for details.
81 . #496360 ] table width does not work
82 . detectors were being registered multiple times
83 . added tests for mailgw
86 2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
87 Feature:
88 . #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
89 . #473123 ] Change message generation for author
90 . MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
91 . Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
92 . Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
93 . "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
94 . roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
95 . roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
96 . roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
97 . users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
98 . incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
99 e-mail
100 . added a target version field to the extended issue schema
101 . added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
102 translatable messages
104 Fixed:
105 . Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
106 . 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
107 . Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
108 . roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
109 . Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
110 . Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
111 . bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
112 . bug #474749 ] indentations lost
113 . bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
114 . bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
115 . bug #477687 ] conforming html
116 . bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
117 . bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
118 . bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
119 . bug #477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
120 . newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
121 . bug #479511 ] mailgw to pop
122 . bug #479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
123 . bad error report in hyperdb
124 . roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
125 of processing
126 . roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
127 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
128 an error message to the roundup admin.
129 . fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
130 . errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
131 squashed)
132 . re-open the database as the author in mail handling
133 . missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
136 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
137 Feature:
138 . MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
139 . feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
140 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
141 information is displayed.
142 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
143 . Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
144 . Tabular display of nodes.
145 . Import and export via colon-separated files.
147 Changed:
148 . re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
149 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
151 Fixed:
152 . Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
153 . CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
154 . Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
155 . Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
156 . Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
157 . Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
158 . Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
159 . bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
160 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
161 . bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
162 as numbers now.
163 . bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
164 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
165 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
166 . bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
167 . bug #473126: Sender unknown
168 . bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
171 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
172 Fixed:
173 . Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
174 property values. This broke a lot of things.
177 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
178 Feature:
179 . roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
180 on the command-line.
181 . hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
182 properties.
183 . CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
185 Changed:
186 . Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
187 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
188 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
189 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
190 . The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
191 . The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
192 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
193 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
194 . Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
195 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
196 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
197 number of encoding systems.
198 . The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
199 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
200 documentation for details.)
202 Fixed:
203 . Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
204 Ping - has been removed.
205 . Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
206 . Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
207 . AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
208 . Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
209 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
210 . Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
211 an item now throws an exception.
212 . The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
213 . Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
217 --------------
219 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
220 Fixed:
221 . Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
222 . Missing import in mailgw.
225 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
226 Feature:
227 . Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
228 regular expressions now.
230 Fixed:
231 . Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
232 . Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
233 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
234 . Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
235 . Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
236 that the change note message is actually genrated.
237 . CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
238 . Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
239 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
240 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
241 . Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
242 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
243 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
246 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
247 Note:
248 . Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
250 Feature:
251 . Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
252 with bugs in roundup.init!
253 . Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
254 the tests.
255 . Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
257 Fixed:
258 . Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
259 signatures now too.
260 . Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
261 . Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
262 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
263 . Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
264 . Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
265 module name for the instances on import time.
268 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
269 Note:
270 . The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
271 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
273 Fixed:
274 . Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
275 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
278 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
279 Features:
280 . Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
281 should be linked somewhere.
282 . Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
283 . Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
284 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
285 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
286 cleanup the header up.
287 . Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
288 . Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
289 are displayed.
290 . Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
291 rebuild.
292 . Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
293 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
294 . Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
295 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
296 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
297 instructions, etc).
299 Fixed:
300 . Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
301 . Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
302 . Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
303 . Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
304 . 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
305 . mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
306 was creating nodes for.
307 . remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
308 . Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
309 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
310 names.
313 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
314 Big change:
315 . I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
316 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
317 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
318 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
319 code in "extended" either way.
321 Features:
322 . Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
323 we do anything distutils'y.
324 . Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
325 . Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
326 help and better command-line arg handling.
327 . The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
328 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
329 . Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
331 Fixed:
332 . One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
333 . Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
334 hard-coded to "issue".
335 . templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
336 . The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
337 properly.
338 . The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
339 nodeid) properly.
342 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
343 Features:
344 . Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
345 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
346 . Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
347 tests for multipart splitting.
348 . Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
349 . Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
350 . Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
351 . Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
352 . Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
353 behaviour.
354 . Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
355 . Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
356 it).
358 Fixed:
359 . Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
360 . New issue form handles lack of note better now.
361 . HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
362 . Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
363 . Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
364 query elements.
365 . Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
366 changed now.
369 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
370 Features:
371 . Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
372 . Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
373 directory as "overview.html".
375 Fixes:
376 . Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
377 "html" directory in instance home.
378 . Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
379 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
380 There you go...
381 . Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
382 strict about such things.
384 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
385 Features:
386 . Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
387 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
388 back-ends.
389 . Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
390 out-of-the-box
391 . Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
392 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
393 . Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
394 . Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
395 out-of-the-box.
396 . Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
397 . Added some unit tests.
399 Fixes:
400 . Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
401 . Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
402 . Fixed adding new issue with no change note
403 . Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
404 quoted.
405 . Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
406 message.
408 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
409 . Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
410 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
411 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
412 . Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
413 . Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
414 . Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
415 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
416 . Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
417 . Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
418 . Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
419 columns to sort by to 2.
420 . Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
421 ^text - search for text at start of fields
422 text$ - search for text at end of fields
423 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
424 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
425 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
426 . Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
429 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
430 . Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
431 the priority column isn't displayed.
432 . Thanks Anthony:
433 . added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
434 . added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
435 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
436 . python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
437 . better handling of db directory in initDB
438 . Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
439 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
440 properties, etc.
441 . Set the default index to sort on activity
444 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
445 . Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
446 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
448 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
449 . Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
450 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
451 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
452 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
