1 This file contains the changes to the Roundup system over time. The entries
2 are given with the most recent entry first.
4 2002-09-?? 0.5.0 ????
5 - handling of None for Date/Interval/Password values in export/import
6 - handling of journal values in export/import
7 - password edit now has a confirmation field
8 - registration error punts back to register page
9 - gadfly backend now handles changes to the schema - but only one property
10 at a time
11 - cgi.client base URL is now obtained from the config TRACKER_WEB
12 - request.url has gone away - there's too much magic in trying to figure
13 what it should be
14 - cgi-bin script redirects to https now if the request was https
15 - FileClass "content" property wasn't being returned by getprops() in most
16 backends
17 - we now verify instance attributes on instance open and throw a useful error
18 if they're not all there
19 - sf 611217 ] menu() has problems when labelprop==None
20 - verify contents of tracker module when the tracker is opened
21 - many performance improvements in *dbm and sql backends
22 - mailgw was missing an "import sys"
23 - setup now installs scripts with python -O flag, doubling performance in some
24 cases (there's a lot of __debug__ use)
25 - fix :required for Link menus
26 - import wasn't setting the ID to maxid+1
27 - added getItem to HTMLClass so you can access arbitrary items in templates
28 - index filtering form values may now be key values too
29 - replaced the content() callback ickiness with Page Template macro usage

31 - better handling of Page Template compilation errors
32 - handle multiple unrelated indexed classes
33 - #614188 ] Exception in mailgw.py
34 - #613310 ] traceback on onexistant items
35 - #613291 ] typos in nosy list
36 - handle stupid mailers that QUOTE their Re; 'Re: "[issue1] bla blah"'
37 - giving a user a Role that doesn't exist doesn't break stuff any more
38 - revamped user guide, customisation guide, added maintenance guide
39 - merge Zope Collector #538 fix from ZPT CVS trunk (path expressions with a
40 non-path final alternate no longer try to call a value returned by that
41 alternate)
42 - merge Zope Collector #573 fix from ZPT CVS trunk
43 - merge Zope Collector #580 fix from ZPT CVS trunk
44 - added "crypt" password encoding and ability to set password with

48 2002-09-13 0.5.0 beta2
49 - all backends now have a .close() method, and it's used everywhere
50 - fixed bug in detectors __init__
51 - switched the default issue item display to only show issue summary
52 (added instructions to doc to make it display entire content)
53 - MANIFEST.in was missing a lot of template files
54 - added generic item editing
55 - much nicer layout of template rendering errors
56 - added context/is_edit_ok and context/is_view_ok convenience methods and
57 implemented use of them in the classic template
60 2002-09-11 0.5.0 beta1
61 Fixed:
62 - #576086 ] dumb copying mistake (frontends/ZRoundup.py)
63 - installation instructions now mention "python2" in "testing your python".
64 - made the unit tests run again - they were quite b0rken
65 - #571170 ] gdbm deadlock
66 - #576241 ] MultiLink problems in parsePropsFromForm
67 - fixed the date module so that Date(". - 2d") works
68 - web forms may now unset Link values (like assignedto)
69 - cleanup: moved roundup.templatebuilder to roundup.templates.builder
70 - instance __init__ no longer silently traps dbinit import errors
72 Feature:
73 - new backend for metakit (thanks Gordon McMillan)
74 - new backend for gadfly (it's as done as it's going to get)
75 - further split the dbm backends from the core code, allowing easier
76 non-dict-like backends (eg metakit, RDB)
77 - implemented and used the new access control mechanisms (Permissions, Roles)
78 (see doc/security.txt)
79 - switched templating to use Zope's PageTemplates (yay!)
80 - switched to sessions for web authentication
81 - added Boolean and Number types
82 - fixed the journal bloat
83 - updated design document for new access controls
84 - updated customisation document, including more examples
85 - entire database export and import (incl files)
86 - better mailgw help message (feature request #558562)
87 - re-enabled link backrefs from messages (feature request #568714)
88 - the page layout is now templatable
89 - re-worked cgi interface to abstract out the explicit "issue" interface
90 - have index page handle mid-page errors better so header and footer are
91 still visible
92 - we handle "not found", access and item page render errors better
93 - fixed double-submit by having new-item-submit redirect at end
94 - daemonify roundup-server (fork, logfile, pidfile)
95 - modify cgitb to display PageTemplate errors better
96 - rename to "instance" to "tracker"
97 - have roundup.cgi pick up tracker config from the environment
98 - revamped look and feel in web interface
99 - cleaned up stylesheet usage
100 - several bug fixes and documentation fixes
101 - added is_retired test to hyperdb.Class
102 - added capability to save queries:
103 - a query Class with name, klass (to search) and url (query string)
104 properties
105 - a Multilink to query on user called queries
106 - html templates for query, and a list of queries in user.item
107 - search form has Save button & name input
108 - saved queries put in menu in pagehead
109 - for migration, none of the above is required and old behavior preserved.
110 - showquery translates search form <-> query string
111 - cleaned up the indexer code:
112 - it splits more words out
113 - removed code we'll never use (roundup.roundup_indexer has the full
114 implementation, and replaces roundup.indexer)
115 - only index text/plain and rfc822/message (ideas for other text formats to
116 index are welcome)
117 - added simple unit test for indexer. Needs more tests for regression.
118 - all String properties may now be indexed too. Currently there's a bit of
119 "issue" specific code in the actual searching which needs to be
120 addressed. In a nutshell:
121 + pass 'indexme="yes"' as a String() property initialisation arg, eg:
122 file = FileClass(db, "file", name=String(), type=String(),
123 comment=String(indexme="yes"))
124 + the comment will then be indexed and be searchable, with the results
125 related back to the issue that the file is linked to
126 - as a result of this work, the FileClass has a default MIME type that may
127 be overridden in a subclass, or by the use of a "type" property as is
128 done in the default templates.
129 - the regeneration of the indexes (if necessary) is done once the schema is
130 set up in the dbinit.
131 - new "reindex" command in roundup-admin used to force regeneration of the
132 index
133 - added email display function - mangles email addrs so they're not so easily
134 scraped from the web
135 - switched to using a session-based web login
136 - made mailgw handle set and modify operations on multilinks (bug #579094)
137 - fixed the journal bloat from multilink changes - we just log the add or
138 remove operations, not the whole list
141 2002-06-24 0.4.2
142 Fixed:
143 - Cleaned up the hyperdb unit tests.
144 - Applied patch from Andrew W. Nosenko to give nicer Unauthorised message
145 when anonymous user tries to edit. Should've been applied in 0.4.2pr1. Oops.
146 - Added more detailed note to MIGRATION regarding the detectors changes.
149 2002-06-19 0.4.2pr1
150 Feature:
151 - added a "detectors" directory for people to put their useful auditors and
152 reactors in. Note - the roundupdb.IssueClass.sendmessage method has been
153 split and renamed "nosymessage" specifically for things like the nosy
154 reactor, and "send_message" which just sends the message.
155 - link() htmltemplate function now has a "showid" option for links and
156 multilinks. When true, it only displays the linked node id as the anchor
157 text. The link value is displayed as a tooltip using the title anchor
158 attribute.
159 To use in eg. the superseder field, have something like this:
160 <td>
161 <display call="field('superseder', showid=1)">
162 <display call="classhelp('issue', 'id,title', label='list', width=500)">
163 <property name="superseder">
164 <br>View: <display call="link('superseder', showid=1)">
165 </property>
166 </td>
167 - stripping of the email message body can now be controlled through the
168 config variables EMAIL_KEEP_QUOTED_TEXT and EMAIL_LEAVE_BODY_UNCHANGED.
169 - all database files created are now group readable and writable.
170 - added option to automatically add the authors and recipients of messages
171 to the nosy lists with the options ADD_AUTHOR_TO_NOSY (default 'new') and
172 ADD_RECIPIENTS_TO_NOSY (default 'new'). These settings emulate the current
173 behaviour. Setting them to 'yes' will add the author/recipients to the nosy
174 on messages that create issues and followup messages.
175 - reverting to dates for intervals > 2 months sucks
176 - changed the default message list in issues to display the message body
177 - applied patch #558876 ] cgi client customization
178 - split instance initialisation into two steps, allowing config changes
179 before the database is initialised.
180 - don't create an empty message on email issue creation if the email is empty
181 - may now display additional fields in Multilink form menus
182 - #541941 ] changing multilink properties by mail
183 - #526730 ] search for messages capability
184 - #505180 ] split MailGW.handle_Message
185 - also changed cgi client since it was duplicating the functionality
187 Fixed:
188 - stop sending blank (whitespace-only) notes
189 - cleanup of serialisation for database storage
190 - node ids are now generated from a lockable store - no more race conditions
191 - sorting was applied to all nodes of the MultiLink class instead of
192 to the nodes that are actually linked to in the "field" template
193 function. This adds about 20+ seconds in the display of an issue if
194 your database has a 1000 or more issues in it.
195 - added missing documentation for a few of the config option values
196 - file upload broke if you didn't supply a change note
197 - fixed SCRIPT_NAME in ZRoundup for instances not at top level of Zope
198 (thanks dman)
199 - fixed some sorting issues that were breaking some unit tests under py2.2
200 - mailgw test output dir was confusing the init test (but only on 2.2 *shrug*)
201 - node caching now works, and gives a small boost in performance
202 - #449374 ] re-enable bsddb3 backend
203 bsddb3 backend now works, reinstating
204 - #551483 ] assignedto in Client.make_index_link
205 - made backends.__init__ be more specific about which ImportErrors it really
206 wants to ignore
207 - fixed the example addresses in the templates to use correct example domains
208 - cleaned out the template stylesheets, removing a bunch of junk that really
209 wasn't necessary (font specs, styles never used) and added a style for
210 message content
211 - build htmlbase if tests are run using CVS checkout
212 - #565979 ] code error in hyperdb.Class.find
213 - #565996 ] The "Attach a File to this Issue" fails
214 - #564271 ] find() and new properties
215 - #562130 ] cookie path generated from ZRoundup was wrong in some situations
216 - remove CR characters embedded in messages (ZRoundup)
217 - properly quote the email address and "real name" in all situations using the
218 'email' module if it is available and 'rfc822' otherwise
219 - #565992 ] if ISSUE_TRACKER_WEB doesn't have the trailing '/', add it
220 - use the rfc822 module to ensure that every (oddball) email address and
221 real-name is properly quoted
222 - #558867 ] ZRoundup redirect /instance requests to /instance/
223 - #569415 ] {version}
224 - #569178 ] type error
225 was fixed as part of the general cleanup of reactors
228 2002-03-25 - 0.4.1
229 Feature:
230 - use blobfiles in back_anydbm which is used in back_bsddb.
231 change test_db as dirlist does not work for subdirectories.
232 ATTENTION: blobfiles now creates subdirectories for files.
233 - add module blobfiles in backends with file access functions.
234 - roundup db catch only IOError in getfile.
235 - roundup db catches retrieving not existing files.
236 - #503204 ] mailgw needs a default class
237 - partially done - the setting of additional properties can wait for a
238 better configuration system.
239 - Alternate email addresses are now available for users. See the MIGRATION
240 file for info on how to activate the feature.
241 - #511168 ] Web interface: Adding new products
242 Classes that don't provide template html get a default edit interface now:
243 - access using the admin "class list" interface
244 - limited to admin-only
245 - requires the csv module from object-craft (url given if it's missing)
246 - Added popup help for classes using the classhelp html template function.
247 - add <display call="classhelp('priority', 'id,name,description')">
248 to an item page, and it generates a link to a popup window which displays
249 the id, name and description for the priority class. The description
250 field won't exist in most installations, but it will be added to the
251 default templates.
252 - #517734 ] web header customisation is obscure
253 - All messages sent to the nosy list are now encoded as
254 quoted-printable before they are sent.
255 - Fixed display of mutlilink properties when using the template
256 functions, menu and plain.
258 Fixed:
259 - Clean up mail handling, multipart handling.
260 - respect encodings in non multipart messages.
261 - makeHtmlBase: re.sub under python 2.2 did not replace '.', string.replace
262 does it.
263 - preamble in tepmlateBuilder mentioned htmldata
264 - mailgw checks encoding on first part too.
265 - #511586 ] unittest FAIL: testReldate_date
266 - Added a uniquely Roundup header to email, "X-Roundup-Name"
267 - All forms now have "double-submit" protection when Javascript is enabled
268 on the client-side.
269 - #516883 ] mail interface + ANONYMOUS_REGISTER
270 - #516854 ] "My Issues" and redisplay
271 - #517906 ] Attribute order in "View customisation"
272 - #514854 ] History: "User" is always ticket creator
273 - wasn't handling cvs parser feeding correctly
274 - fixed some problems in date calculations (calendar.py doesn't handle over-
275 and under-flow). Also, hour/minute/second intervals may now be more than
276 99 each.
277 - #527416 ] roundup-admin uses undefined value
278 - #527503 ] unfriendly init blowup when parent dir
279 (also handles UsageError correctly now in init)
280 - #524129 ] roundup-admin gets python path wrong
283 2002-01-24 - 0.4.0
284 Feature:
285 - much nicer history display (actualy real handling of property types etc)
286 - journal entries for link and mutlilink properties can be switched on or
287 off
288 - properties in change note are now sorted
289 - you can now use the roundup-admin tool pack the database
291 Fixed:
292 - the mail gateway now responds with an error message when invalid values
293 for arguments are specified for link or mutlilink properties
294 - modified unit test to check nosy and assignedto when specified as arguments
295 - handle attachments with no name (eg tnef)
296 - fixed setting nosy as argument in subject line
297 - fixed back_bsddb so it passed the journal tests
298 - fixed status changes in mail gateway (eg. unread -> chatting)
299 - we'll actually distribute the frontends directory now, as advertised...
300 - handle stripping of "AW:" from subject line
301 - htmltemplate list() wasn't sorting...
302 - unit tests for html templating (and re-enabled the listbox field for
303 multilinks)
304 - allow abbreviation of "help" in admin tool too.
305 - run_tests testReldate_date failed if LANG is 'german'
306 - mailgw failures (unexpected ones) are forwarded to the roundup admin
309 2002-01-16 - 0.4.0b2
310 Fixed:
311 - #495392 ] empty nosy -patch
312 - #500574 ] messageid must have format <part1@part2>
313 - fixed some problems with web editing and change detection
314 - mail splitting wasn't detecting responses in the same "section" as quoted
315 text
316 - missed a "from i18n import _" in date.py
317 - #501690 ] MIGRATION.txt incomplete
318 - #502342 ] pipe interface
319 - #502437 ] rogue reactor and unittest
320 - re-enabled dumbdbm when using python >2.1.1 (ie 2.1.2, 2.2)
321 - changed all config accesses so they access either the instance or the
322 config attriubute on the db. This means that all config is obtained from
323 instance_config instead of the mish-mash of classes. This will make
324 switching to a ConfigParser setup easier too, I hope.
325 - #502951 ] adding new properties to old database
326 - #502953 ] nosy-like treatment of other multilinks
327 - #503164 ] create and passwords
328 - plain rendering of links in the htmltemplate now generate a hyperlink to
329 the linked node's page.
330 - #503330 ] ANONYMOUS_REGISTER now applies to mail
331 - #503353 ] setting properties in initial email
332 - #502956 ] filtering by multilink not supported
333 - #503340 ] creating issue with [asignedto=p.ohly]
334 - #502949 ] index view for non-issues and redisplay
335 - #503793 ] changing assignedto resets nosy list
336 - lots of date/interval related changes:
337 - more relaxed date format for input
338 - handle None for date/interval properties
341 2002-01-08 - 0.4.0b1
342 Feature:
343 - Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
344 the instance.
345 - Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
346 signature info in e-mails.
347 - Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
348 - Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
349 - Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
350 - We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
351 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
352 bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
353 lot more work anyway...
354 - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
355 single transaction
356 - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
357 if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
358 during the session (up to the last commit).
359 - Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
360 - Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
361 (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
362 - Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
363 - Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
364 needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
365 - much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
366 - #496356 ] Use threading in messages
367 This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
368 using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
369 feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
371 Fixed:
372 - Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
373 - login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
374 - Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
375 gateway.
376 - Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
377 on a failure)
378 - We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
379 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
380 - #487480 ] roundup-server
381 - #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
382 - #489760 ] [issue] only subject
383 - fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
384 - fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
385 - web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
386 - we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
387 this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
388 cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
389 - envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
390 delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
391 - #495400 ] entering blanks
392 Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
393 for details.
394 - #496360 ] table width does not work
395 - detectors were being registered multiple times
396 - added tests for mailgw
399 2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
400 Feature:
401 - #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
402 - #473123 ] Change message generation for author
403 - MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
404 - Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
405 - Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
406 - "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
407 - roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
408 - roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
409 - roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
410 - users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
411 - incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
412 e-mail
413 - added a target version field to the extended issue schema
414 - added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
415 translatable messages
417 Fixed:
418 - Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
419 - 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
420 - Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
421 - roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
422 - Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
423 - Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
424 - bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
425 - bug #474749 ] indentations lost
426 - bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
427 - bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
428 - bug #477687 ] conforming html
429 - bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
430 - bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
431 - bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
432 - bug #477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
433 - newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
434 - bug #479511 ] mailgw to pop
435 - bug #479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
436 - bad error report in hyperdb
437 - roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
438 of processing
439 - roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
440 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
441 an error message to the roundup admin.
442 - fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
443 - errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
444 squashed)
445 - re-open the database as the author in mail handling
446 - missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
449 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
450 Feature:
451 - MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
452 - feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
453 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
454 information is displayed.
455 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
456 - Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
457 - Tabular display of nodes.
458 - Import and export via colon-separated files.
460 Changed:
461 - re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
462 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
464 Fixed:
465 - Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
466 - CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
467 - Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
468 - Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
469 - Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
470 - Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
471 - Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
472 - bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
473 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
474 - bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
475 as numbers now.
476 - bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
477 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
478 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
479 - bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
480 - bug #473126: Sender unknown
481 - bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
484 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
485 Fixed:
486 - Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
487 property values. This broke a lot of things.
490 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
491 Feature:
492 - roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
493 on the command-line.
494 - hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
495 properties.
496 - CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
498 Changed:
499 - Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
500 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
501 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
502 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
503 - The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
504 - The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
505 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
506 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
507 - Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
508 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
509 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
510 number of encoding systems.
511 - The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
512 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
513 documentation for details.)
515 Fixed:
516 - Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
517 Ping - has been removed.
518 - Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
519 - Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
520 - AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
521 - Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
522 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
523 - Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
524 an item now throws an exception.
525 - The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
526 - Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
530 --------------
532 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
533 Fixed:
534 - Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
535 - Missing import in mailgw.
538 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
539 Feature:
540 - Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
541 regular expressions now.
543 Fixed:
544 - Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
545 - Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
546 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
547 - Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
548 - Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
549 that the change note message is actually genrated.
550 - CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
551 - Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
552 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
553 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
554 - Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
555 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
556 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
559 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
560 Note:
561 - Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
563 Feature:
564 - Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
565 with bugs in roundup.init!
566 - Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
567 the tests.
568 - Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
570 Fixed:
571 - Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
572 signatures now too.
573 - Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
574 - Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
575 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
576 - Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
577 - Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
578 module name for the instances on import time.
581 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
582 Note:
583 - The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
584 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
586 Fixed:
587 - Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
588 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
591 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
592 Features:
593 - Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
594 should be linked somewhere.
595 - Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
596 - Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
597 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
598 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
599 cleanup the header up.
600 - Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
601 - Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
602 are displayed.
603 - Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
604 rebuild.
605 - Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
606 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
607 - Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
608 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
609 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
610 instructions, etc).
612 Fixed:
613 - Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
614 - Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
615 - Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
616 - Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
617 - 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
618 - mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
619 was creating nodes for.
620 - remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
621 - Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
622 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
623 names.
626 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
627 Big change:
628 - I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
629 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
630 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
631 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
632 code in "extended" either way.
634 Features:
635 - Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
636 we do anything distutils'y.
637 - Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
638 - Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
639 help and better command-line arg handling.
640 - The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
641 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
642 - Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
644 Fixed:
645 - One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
646 - Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
647 hard-coded to "issue".
648 - templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
649 - The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
650 properly.
651 - The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
652 nodeid) properly.
655 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
656 Features:
657 - Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
658 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
659 - Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
660 tests for multipart splitting.
661 - Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
662 - Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
663 - Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
664 - Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
665 - Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
666 behaviour.
667 - Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
668 - Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
669 it).
671 Fixed:
672 - Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
673 - New issue form handles lack of note better now.
674 - HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
675 - Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
676 - Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
677 query elements.
678 - Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
679 changed now.
682 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
683 Features:
684 - Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
685 - Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
686 directory as "overview.html".
688 Fixes:
689 - Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
690 "html" directory in instance home.
691 - Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
692 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
693 There you go...
694 - Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
695 strict about such things.
697 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
698 Features:
699 - Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
700 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
701 back-ends.
702 - Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
703 out-of-the-box
704 - Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
705 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
706 - Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
707 - Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
708 out-of-the-box.
709 - Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
710 - Added some unit tests.
712 Fixes:
713 - Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
714 - Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
715 - Fixed adding new issue with no change note
716 - Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
717 quoted.
718 - Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
719 message.
721 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
722 - Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
723 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
724 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
725 - Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
726 - Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
727 - Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
728 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
729 - Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
730 - Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
731 - Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
732 columns to sort by to 2.
733 - Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
734 ^text - search for text at start of fields
735 text$ - search for text at end of fields
736 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
737 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
738 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
739 - Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
742 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
743 - Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
744 the priority column isn't displayed.
745 - Thanks Anthony:
746 - added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
747 - added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
748 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
749 - python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
750 - better handling of db directory in initDB
751 - Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
752 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
753 properties, etc.
754 - Set the default index to sort on activity
757 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
758 - Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
759 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
761 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
762 - Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
763 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
764 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
765 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
