142 - gadfly backend now handles changes to the schema - but only one property
143 at a time

147 - cgi-bin script redirects to https now if the request was https
148 - FileClass "content" property wasn't being returned by getprops() in most
149 backends
150 - we now verify instance attributes on instance open and throw a useful error
151 if they're not all there
152 - sf 611217 ] menu() has problems when labelprop==None
153 - verify contents of tracker module when the tracker is opened
154 - many performance improvements in *dbm and sql backends
155 - mailgw was missing an "import sys"

171 - revamped user guide, customisation guide, added maintenance guide

174 alternate)
175 - merge Zope Collector #573 fix from ZPT CVS trunk

198 Fixed:
199 - #576086 ] dumb copying mistake (frontends/ZRoundup.py)

206 - cleanup: moved roundup.templatebuilder to roundup.templates.builder
207 - instance __init__ no longer silently traps dbinit import errors
209 Feature:
210 - new backend for metakit (thanks Gordon McMillan)
211 - new backend for gadfly (it's as done as it's going to get)
212 - further split the dbm backends from the core code, allowing easier
213 non-dict-like backends (eg metakit, RDB)
214 - implemented and used the new access control mechanisms (Permissions, Roles)
215 (see doc/security.txt)
216 - switched templating to use Zope's PageTemplates (yay!)
217 - switched to sessions for web authentication
218 - added Boolean and Number types
219 - fixed the journal bloat
220 - updated design document for new access controls

225 - the page layout is now templatable
226 - re-worked cgi interface to abstract out the explicit "issue" interface
227 - have index page handle mid-page errors better so header and footer are
228 still visible
229 - we handle "not found", access and item page render errors better
230 - fixed double-submit by having new-item-submit redirect at end
231 - daemonify roundup-server (fork, logfile, pidfile)
232 - modify cgitb to display PageTemplate errors better
233 - rename to "instance" to "tracker"
234 - have roundup.cgi pick up tracker config from the environment
235 - revamped look and feel in web interface
236 - cleaned up stylesheet usage
237 - several bug fixes and documentation fixes
238 - added is_retired test to hyperdb.Class
239 - added capability to save queries:
240 - a query Class with name, klass (to search) and url (query string)
241 properties
242 - a Multilink to query on user called queries
243 - html templates for query, and a list of queries in user.item
244 - search form has Save button & name input
245 - saved queries put in menu in pagehead
246 - for migration, none of the above is required and old behavior preserved.
247 - showquery translates search form <-> query string
248 - cleaned up the indexer code:
249 - it splits more words out
250 - removed code we'll never use (roundup.roundup_indexer has the full
251 implementation, and replaces roundup.indexer)
252 - only index text/plain and rfc822/message (ideas for other text formats to
253 index are welcome)
254 - added simple unit test for indexer. Needs more tests for regression.
255 - all String properties may now be indexed too. Currently there's a bit of
256 "issue" specific code in the actual searching which needs to be
257 addressed. In a nutshell:
258 + pass 'indexme="yes"' as a String() property initialisation arg, eg:
259 file = FileClass(db, "file", name=String(), type=String(),
260 comment=String(indexme="yes"))
261 + the comment will then be indexed and be searchable, with the results
262 related back to the issue that the file is linked to
263 - as a result of this work, the FileClass has a default MIME type that may
264 be overridden in a subclass, or by the use of a "type" property as is
265 done in the default templates.
266 - the regeneration of the indexes (if necessary) is done once the schema is
267 set up in the dbinit.
268 - new "reindex" command in roundup-admin used to force regeneration of the
269 index
270 - added email display function - mangles email addrs so they're not so easily
271 scraped from the web
272 - switched to using a session-based web login
273 - made mailgw handle set and modify operations on multilinks (bug #579094)
274 - fixed the journal bloat from multilink changes - we just log the add or
275 remove operations, not the whole list
278 2002-06-24 0.4.2
279 Fixed:
280 - Cleaned up the hyperdb unit tests.
281 - Applied patch from Andrew W. Nosenko to give nicer Unauthorised message
282 when anonymous user tries to edit. Should've been applied in 0.4.2pr1. Oops.
283 - Added more detailed note to MIGRATION regarding the detectors changes.
286 2002-06-19 0.4.2pr1
287 Feature:
288 - added a "detectors" directory for people to put their useful auditors and
289 reactors in. Note - the roundupdb.IssueClass.sendmessage method has been
290 split and renamed "nosymessage" specifically for things like the nosy
291 reactor, and "send_message" which just sends the message.
292 - link() htmltemplate function now has a "showid" option for links and
293 multilinks. When true, it only displays the linked node id as the anchor
294 text. The link value is displayed as a tooltip using the title anchor
295 attribute.
296 To use in eg. the superseder field, have something like this:
297 <td>
298 <display call="field('superseder', showid=1)">
299 <display call="classhelp('issue', 'id,title', label='list', width=500)">
300 <property name="superseder">
301 <br>View: <display call="link('superseder', showid=1)">
302 </property>
303 </td>
304 - stripping of the email message body can now be controlled through the
305 config variables EMAIL_KEEP_QUOTED_TEXT and EMAIL_LEAVE_BODY_UNCHANGED.
306 - all database files created are now group readable and writable.
307 - added option to automatically add the authors and recipients of messages
308 to the nosy lists with the options ADD_AUTHOR_TO_NOSY (default 'new') and
309 ADD_RECIPIENTS_TO_NOSY (default 'new'). These settings emulate the current
310 behaviour. Setting them to 'yes' will add the author/recipients to the nosy
311 on messages that create issues and followup messages.
312 - reverting to dates for intervals > 2 months sucks
313 - changed the default message list in issues to display the message body
314 - applied patch #558876 ] cgi client customization
315 - split instance initialisation into two steps, allowing config changes
316 before the database is initialised.
317 - don't create an empty message on email issue creation if the email is empty
318 - may now display additional fields in Multilink form menus
319 - #541941 ] changing multilink properties by mail
320 - #526730 ] search for messages capability
321 - #505180 ] split MailGW.handle_Message
322 - also changed cgi client since it was duplicating the functionality
324 Fixed:
325 - stop sending blank (whitespace-only) notes
326 - cleanup of serialisation for database storage
327 - node ids are now generated from a lockable store - no more race conditions
328 - sorting was applied to all nodes of the MultiLink class instead of
329 to the nodes that are actually linked to in the "field" template
330 function. This adds about 20+ seconds in the display of an issue if
331 your database has a 1000 or more issues in it.
332 - added missing documentation for a few of the config option values
333 - file upload broke if you didn't supply a change note
334 - fixed SCRIPT_NAME in ZRoundup for instances not at top level of Zope
335 (thanks dman)
336 - fixed some sorting issues that were breaking some unit tests under py2.2
337 - mailgw test output dir was confusing the init test (but only on 2.2 *shrug*)
338 - node caching now works, and gives a small boost in performance
339 - #449374 ] re-enable bsddb3 backend
340 bsddb3 backend now works, reinstating
341 - #551483 ] assignedto in Client.make_index_link
342 - made backends.__init__ be more specific about which ImportErrors it really
343 wants to ignore
344 - fixed the example addresses in the templates to use correct example domains
345 - cleaned out the template stylesheets, removing a bunch of junk that really
346 wasn't necessary (font specs, styles never used) and added a style for
347 message content
348 - build htmlbase if tests are run using CVS checkout
349 - #565979 ] code error in hyperdb.Class.find
350 - #565996 ] The "Attach a File to this Issue" fails
351 - #564271 ] find() and new properties
352 - #562130 ] cookie path generated from ZRoundup was wrong in some situations
353 - remove CR characters embedded in messages (ZRoundup)
354 - properly quote the email address and "real name" in all situations using the
355 'email' module if it is available and 'rfc822' otherwise
356 - #565992 ] if ISSUE_TRACKER_WEB doesn't have the trailing '/', add it
357 - use the rfc822 module to ensure that every (oddball) email address and
358 real-name is properly quoted
359 - #558867 ] ZRoundup redirect /instance requests to /instance/
360 - #569415 ] {version}
361 - #569178 ] type error
362 was fixed as part of the general cleanup of reactors
365 2002-03-25 - 0.4.1

369 ATTENTION: blobfiles now creates subdirectories for files.
370 - add module blobfiles in backends with file access functions.
371 - roundup db catch only IOError in getfile.
372 - roundup db catches retrieving not existing files.
373 - #503204 ] mailgw needs a default class
374 - partially done - the setting of additional properties can wait for a
375 better configuration system.
376 - Alternate email addresses are now available for users. See the MIGRATION
377 file for info on how to activate the feature.
378 - #511168 ] Web interface: Adding new products
379 Classes that don't provide template html get a default edit interface now:
380 - access using the admin "class list" interface
381 - limited to admin-only
382 - requires the csv module from object-craft (url given if it's missing)
383 - Added popup help for classes using the classhelp html template function.
384 - add <display call="classhelp('priority', 'id,name,description')">
385 to an item page, and it generates a link to a popup window which displays
386 the id, name and description for the priority class. The description
387 field won't exist in most installations, but it will be added to the
388 default templates.
389 - #517734 ] web header customisation is obscure
390 - All messages sent to the nosy list are now encoded as
391 quoted-printable before they are sent.
392 - Fixed display of mutlilink properties when using the template
393 functions, menu and plain.
395 Fixed:
396 - Clean up mail handling, multipart handling.

401 - mailgw checks encoding on first part too.
402 - #511586 ] unittest FAIL: testReldate_date

407 - #516854 ] "My Issues" and redisplay
408 - #517906 ] Attribute order in "View customisation"
409 - #514854 ] History: "User" is always ticket creator
410 - wasn't handling cvs parser feeding correctly
411 - fixed some problems in date calculations (calendar.py doesn't handle over-
412 and under-flow). Also, hour/minute/second intervals may now be more than
413 99 each.
414 - #527416 ] roundup-admin uses undefined value
415 - #527503 ] unfriendly init blowup when parent dir
416 (also handles UsageError correctly now in init)
417 - #524129 ] roundup-admin gets python path wrong

440 multilinks)
441 - allow abbreviation of "help" in admin tool too.
442 - run_tests testReldate_date failed if LANG is 'german'
443 - mailgw failures (unexpected ones) are forwarded to the roundup admin

458 - changed all config accesses so they access either the instance or the
459 config attriubute on the db. This means that all config is obtained from
460 instance_config instead of the mish-mash of classes. This will make
461 switching to a ConfigParser setup easier too, I hope.
462 - #502951 ] adding new properties to old database
463 - #502953 ] nosy-like treatment of other multilinks
464 - #503164 ] create and passwords

466 the linked node's page.
467 - #503330 ] ANONYMOUS_REGISTER now applies to mail
468 - #503353 ] setting properties in initial email
469 - #502956 ] filtering by multilink not supported
470 - #503340 ] creating issue with [asignedto=p.ohly]
471 - #502949 ] index view for non-issues and redisplay
472 - #503793 ] changing assignedto resets nosy list
473 - lots of date/interval related changes:
474 - more relaxed date format for input
475 - handle None for date/interval properties
478 2002-01-08 - 0.4.0b1
479 Feature:
480 - Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
481 the instance.
482 - Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
483 signature info in e-mails.
484 - Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
485 - Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
486 - Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
487 - We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
488 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
489 bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
490 lot more work anyway...
491 - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
492 single transaction
493 - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
494 if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
495 during the session (up to the last commit).
496 - Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
497 - Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
498 (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
499 - Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
500 - Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
501 needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
502 - much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
503 - #496356 ] Use threading in messages
504 This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
505 using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
506 feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
508 Fixed:
509 - Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
510 - login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
511 - Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
512 gateway.
513 - Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
514 on a failure)
515 - We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
516 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
517 - #487480 ] roundup-server
518 - #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
519 - #489760 ] [issue] only subject
520 - fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
521 - fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
522 - web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
523 - we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
524 this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
525 cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
526 - envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
527 delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
528 - #495400 ] entering blanks
529 Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
530 for details.
531 - #496360 ] table width does not work
532 - detectors were being registered multiple times
533 - added tests for mailgw
536 2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
537 Feature:
538 - #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
539 - #473123 ] Change message generation for author
540 - MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
541 - Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
542 - Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
543 - "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
544 - roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
545 - roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
546 - roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
547 - users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
548 - incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
549 e-mail
550 - added a target version field to the extended issue schema
551 - added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
552 translatable messages
554 Fixed:
555 - Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
556 - 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
557 - Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
558 - roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
559 - Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
560 - Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
561 - bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
562 - bug #474749 ] indentations lost
563 - bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
564 - bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
565 - bug #477687 ] conforming html
566 - bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
567 - bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
568 - bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
569 - bug #477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
570 - newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
571 - bug #479511 ] mailgw to pop
572 - bug #479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
573 - bad error report in hyperdb
574 - roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
575 of processing
576 - roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
577 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
578 an error message to the roundup admin.
579 - fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
580 - errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
581 squashed)
582 - re-open the database as the author in mail handling
583 - missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
586 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
587 Feature:
588 - MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
589 - feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
590 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
591 information is displayed.
592 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
593 - Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
594 - Tabular display of nodes.
595 - Import and export via colon-separated files.
597 Changed:
598 - re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
599 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
601 Fixed:
602 - Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
603 - CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
604 - Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
605 - Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
606 - Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
607 - Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
608 - Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
609 - bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
610 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
611 - bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
612 as numbers now.
613 - bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
614 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
615 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
616 - bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
617 - bug #473126: Sender unknown
618 - bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
621 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
622 Fixed:
623 - Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
624 property values. This broke a lot of things.
627 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
628 Feature:
629 - roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
630 on the command-line.
631 - hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
632 properties.
633 - CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
635 Changed:
636 - Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
637 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
638 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
639 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
640 - The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
641 - The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
642 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
643 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
644 - Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
645 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
646 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
647 number of encoding systems.
648 - The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
649 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
650 documentation for details.)
652 Fixed:
653 - Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
654 Ping - has been removed.
655 - Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
656 - Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
657 - AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
658 - Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
659 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
660 - Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
661 an item now throws an exception.
662 - The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
663 - Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
667 --------------
669 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
670 Fixed:
671 - Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
672 - Missing import in mailgw.
675 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
676 Feature:
677 - Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
678 regular expressions now.
680 Fixed:
681 - Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
682 - Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
683 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
684 - Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
685 - Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
686 that the change note message is actually genrated.
687 - CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
688 - Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
689 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
690 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
691 - Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
692 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
693 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
696 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
697 Note:
698 - Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
700 Feature:
701 - Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
702 with bugs in roundup.init!
703 - Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
704 the tests.
705 - Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
707 Fixed:
708 - Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
709 signatures now too.
710 - Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
711 - Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
712 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
713 - Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
714 - Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
715 module name for the instances on import time.
718 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
719 Note:
720 - The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
721 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
723 Fixed:
724 - Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
725 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
728 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
729 Features:
730 - Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
731 should be linked somewhere.
732 - Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
733 - Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
734 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
735 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
736 cleanup the header up.
737 - Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
738 - Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
739 are displayed.
740 - Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
741 rebuild.
742 - Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
743 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
744 - Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
745 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
746 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
747 instructions, etc).
749 Fixed:
750 - Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
751 - Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
752 - Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
753 - Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
754 - 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
755 - mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
756 was creating nodes for.
757 - remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
758 - Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
759 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
760 names.
763 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
764 Big change:
765 - I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
766 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
767 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
768 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
769 code in "extended" either way.
771 Features:
772 - Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
773 we do anything distutils'y.
774 - Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
775 - Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
776 help and better command-line arg handling.
777 - The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
778 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
779 - Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
781 Fixed:
782 - One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
783 - Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
784 hard-coded to "issue".
785 - templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
786 - The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
787 properly.
788 - The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
789 nodeid) properly.
792 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
793 Features:
794 - Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
795 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
796 - Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
797 tests for multipart splitting.
798 - Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
799 - Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
800 - Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
801 - Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
802 - Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
803 behaviour.
804 - Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
805 - Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
806 it).
808 Fixed:
809 - Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
810 - New issue form handles lack of note better now.
811 - HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
812 - Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
813 - Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
814 query elements.
815 - Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
816 changed now.
819 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
820 Features:
821 - Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
822 - Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
823 directory as "overview.html".
825 Fixes:
826 - Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
827 "html" directory in instance home.
828 - Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
829 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
830 There you go...
831 - Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
832 strict about such things.
834 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
835 Features:
836 - Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
837 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
838 back-ends.
839 - Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
840 out-of-the-box
841 - Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
842 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
843 - Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
844 - Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
845 out-of-the-box.
846 - Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
847 - Added some unit tests.
849 Fixes:
850 - Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
851 - Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
852 - Fixed adding new issue with no change note
853 - Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
854 quoted.
855 - Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
856 message.
858 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
859 - Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
860 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
861 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
862 - Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
863 - Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
864 - Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
865 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
866 - Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
867 - Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
868 - Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
869 columns to sort by to 2.
870 - Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
871 ^text - search for text at start of fields
872 text$ - search for text at end of fields
873 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
874 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
875 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
876 - Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
879 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
880 - Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
881 the priority column isn't displayed.
882 - Thanks Anthony:
883 - added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
884 - added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
885 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
886 - python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
887 - better handling of db directory in initDB
888 - Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
889 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
890 properties, etc.
891 - Set the default index to sort on activity
894 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
895 - Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
896 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
898 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
899 - Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
900 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
901 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
902 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
