41 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
42 Feature:
43 . MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
44 . feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
45 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
46 information is displayed.
47 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
48 . Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
49 . Tabular display of nodes.
50 . Import and export via colon-separated files.
52 Changed:
53 . re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
54 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
56 Fixed:
57 . Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
58 . CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
59 . Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
60 . Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
61 . Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
62 . Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
63 . Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
64 . bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
65 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
66 . bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
67 as numbers now.
68 . bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
69 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
70 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
71 . bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
72 . bug #473126: Sender unknown
73 . bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
76 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
77 Fixed:
78 . Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
79 property values. This broke a lot of things.
82 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
83 Feature:
84 . roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
85 on the command-line.
86 . hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
87 properties.
88 . CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
90 Changed:
91 . Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
92 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
93 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
94 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
95 . The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
96 . The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
97 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
98 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
99 . Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
100 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
101 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
102 number of encoding systems.
103 . The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
104 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
105 documentation for details.)
107 Fixed:
108 . Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
109 Ping - has been removed.
110 . Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
111 . Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
112 . AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
113 . Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
114 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
115 . Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
116 an item now throws an exception.
117 . The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
118 . Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
122 --------------
124 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
125 Fixed:
126 . Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
127 . Missing import in mailgw.
130 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
131 Feature:
132 . Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
133 regular expressions now.
135 Fixed:
136 . Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
137 . Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
138 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
139 . Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
140 . Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
141 that the change note message is actually genrated.
142 . CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
143 . Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
144 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
145 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
146 . Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
147 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
148 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
151 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
152 Note:
153 . Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
155 Feature:
156 . Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
157 with bugs in roundup.init!
158 . Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
159 the tests.
160 . Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
162 Fixed:
163 . Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
164 signatures now too.
165 . Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
166 . Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
167 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
168 . Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
169 . Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
170 module name for the instances on import time.
173 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
174 Note:
175 . The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
176 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
178 Fixed:
179 . Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
180 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
183 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
184 Features:
185 . Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
186 should be linked somewhere.
187 . Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
188 . Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
189 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
190 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
191 cleanup the header up.
192 . Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
193 . Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
194 are displayed.
195 . Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
196 rebuild.
197 . Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
198 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
199 . Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
200 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
201 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
202 instructions, etc).
204 Fixed:
205 . Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
206 . Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
207 . Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
208 . Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
209 . 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
210 . mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
211 was creating nodes for.
212 . remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
213 . Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
214 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
215 names.
218 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
219 Big change:
220 . I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
221 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
222 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
223 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
224 code in "extended" either way.
226 Features:
227 . Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
228 we do anything distutils'y.
229 . Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
230 . Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
231 help and better command-line arg handling.
232 . The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
233 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
234 . Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
236 Fixed:
237 . One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
238 . Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
239 hard-coded to "issue".
240 . templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
241 . The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
242 properly.
243 . The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
244 nodeid) properly.
247 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
248 Features:
249 . Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
250 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
251 . Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
252 tests for multipart splitting.
253 . Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
254 . Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
255 . Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
256 . Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
257 . Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
258 behaviour.
259 . Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
260 . Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
261 it).
263 Fixed:
264 . Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
265 . New issue form handles lack of note better now.
266 . HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
267 . Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
268 . Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
269 query elements.
270 . Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
271 changed now.
274 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
275 Features:
276 . Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
277 . Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
278 directory as "overview.html".
280 Fixes:
281 . Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
282 "html" directory in instance home.
283 . Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
284 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
285 There you go...
286 . Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
287 strict about such things.
289 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
290 Features:
291 . Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
292 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
293 back-ends.
294 . Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
295 out-of-the-box
296 . Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
297 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
298 . Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
299 . Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
300 out-of-the-box.
301 . Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
302 . Added some unit tests.
304 Fixes:
305 . Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
306 . Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
307 . Fixed adding new issue with no change note
308 . Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
309 quoted.
310 . Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
311 message.
313 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
314 . Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
315 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
316 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
317 . Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
318 . Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
319 . Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
320 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
321 . Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
322 . Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
323 . Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
324 columns to sort by to 2.
325 . Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
326 ^text - search for text at start of fields
327 text$ - search for text at end of fields
328 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
329 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
330 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
331 . Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
334 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
335 . Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
336 the priority column isn't displayed.
337 . Thanks Anthony:
338 . added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
339 . added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
340 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
341 . python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
342 . better handling of db directory in initDB
343 . Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
344 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
345 properties, etc.
346 . Set the default index to sort on activity
349 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
350 . Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
351 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
353 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
354 . Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
355 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
356 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
357 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
