2 are given with the most recent entry first.
4 2003-??-?? 0.6.0
5 Feature:
6 - support setting of properties on message and file through web and
7 email interface (thanks John Rouillard)
8 - allow additional control over the roundupdb email sending (explicit
9 cc addresses, different from address and different nosy list property)
10 (thanks John Rouillard)
11 - applied patch for nicer history display (sf feature 638280)
12 - cleaning old unused sessions only once per hour, not on every cgi
13 request. It is greatly improves web interface performance, especially
14 on trackers under high load
15 - added mysql backend (see doc/mysql.txt for details)
16 - switch metakit to use "compressed" multilink journal change representation
17 - metakit now handles "unset" for most types (not Number and Boolean)

20 convered to GMT (see doc/upgrading.txt).
21 - added a form to show a specific issue
22 - more proper sorting/grouping on mulitilink properties. Sorting is performed
23 not only by number of links, but also by links itself. This makes usable
24 grouping e.g. by topic multilink
25 - add "ago" to intervals in the past (sf bug 679232)
26 - included UN*X manual pages from Bastian Kleineidam
27 - implemented extension to form parsing to allow editing of multiple items
28 and creation of multiple items (but only one per class)

30 - trackers' templates directory can contain subdirectories with static files
31 (e.g. images). They are accessible naturally: _file/images/img.gif

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

224 backends

228 - verify contents of tracker module when the tracker is opened
229 - many performance improvements in *dbm and sql backends

274 - #576086 ] dumb copying mistake (frontends/ZRoundup.py)

282 - instance __init__ no longer silently traps dbinit import errors
284 Feature:
285 - new backend for metakit (thanks Gordon McMillan)
286 - new backend for gadfly (it's as done as it's going to get)
287 - further split the dbm backends from the core code, allowing easier
288 non-dict-like backends (eg metakit, RDB)
289 - implemented and used the new access control mechanisms (Permissions, Roles)
290 (see doc/security.txt)
291 - switched templating to use Zope's PageTemplates (yay!)

300 - the page layout is now templatable
301 - re-worked cgi interface to abstract out the explicit "issue" interface
302 - have index page handle mid-page errors better so header and footer are
303 still visible
304 - we handle "not found", access and item page render errors better
305 - fixed double-submit by having new-item-submit redirect at end
306 - daemonify roundup-server (fork, logfile, pidfile)

309 - have roundup.cgi pick up tracker config from the environment
310 - revamped look and feel in web interface
311 - cleaned up stylesheet usage
312 - several bug fixes and documentation fixes
313 - added is_retired test to hyperdb.Class
314 - added capability to save queries:
315 - a query Class with name, klass (to search) and url (query string)
316 properties
317 - a Multilink to query on user called queries
318 - html templates for query, and a list of queries in user.item
319 - search form has Save button & name input
320 - saved queries put in menu in pagehead
321 - for migration, none of the above is required and old behavior preserved.
322 - showquery translates search form <-> query string
323 - cleaned up the indexer code:
324 - it splits more words out
325 - removed code we'll never use (roundup.roundup_indexer has the full
326 implementation, and replaces roundup.indexer)
327 - only index text/plain and rfc822/message (ideas for other text formats to
328 index are welcome)
329 - added simple unit test for indexer. Needs more tests for regression.
330 - all String properties may now be indexed too. Currently there's a bit of
331 "issue" specific code in the actual searching which needs to be
332 addressed. In a nutshell:
333 + pass 'indexme="yes"' as a String() property initialisation arg, eg:
334 file = FileClass(db, "file", name=String(), type=String(),
335 comment=String(indexme="yes"))
336 + the comment will then be indexed and be searchable, with the results
337 related back to the issue that the file is linked to
338 - as a result of this work, the FileClass has a default MIME type that may
339 be overridden in a subclass, or by the use of a "type" property as is
340 done in the default templates.
341 - the regeneration of the indexes (if necessary) is done once the schema is
342 set up in the dbinit.
343 - new "reindex" command in roundup-admin used to force regeneration of the
344 index
345 - added email display function - mangles email addrs so they're not so easily
346 scraped from the web
347 - switched to using a session-based web login
348 - made mailgw handle set and modify operations on multilinks (bug #579094)
349 - fixed the journal bloat from multilink changes - we just log the add or
350 remove operations, not the whole list
353 2002-06-24 0.4.2
354 Fixed:
355 - Cleaned up the hyperdb unit tests.
356 - Applied patch from Andrew W. Nosenko to give nicer Unauthorised message
357 when anonymous user tries to edit. Should've been applied in 0.4.2pr1. Oops.
358 - Added more detailed note to MIGRATION regarding the detectors changes.
361 2002-06-19 0.4.2pr1
362 Feature:
363 - added a "detectors" directory for people to put their useful auditors and
364 reactors in. Note - the roundupdb.IssueClass.sendmessage method has been
365 split and renamed "nosymessage" specifically for things like the nosy
366 reactor, and "send_message" which just sends the message.
367 - link() htmltemplate function now has a "showid" option for links and
368 multilinks. When true, it only displays the linked node id as the anchor
369 text. The link value is displayed as a tooltip using the title anchor
370 attribute.
371 To use in eg. the superseder field, have something like this:
372 <td>
373 <display call="field('superseder', showid=1)">
374 <display call="classhelp('issue', 'id,title', label='list', width=500)">
375 <property name="superseder">
376 <br>View: <display call="link('superseder', showid=1)">
377 </property>
378 </td>
379 - stripping of the email message body can now be controlled through the
380 config variables EMAIL_KEEP_QUOTED_TEXT and EMAIL_LEAVE_BODY_UNCHANGED.
381 - all database files created are now group readable and writable.
382 - added option to automatically add the authors and recipients of messages
383 to the nosy lists with the options ADD_AUTHOR_TO_NOSY (default 'new') and
384 ADD_RECIPIENTS_TO_NOSY (default 'new'). These settings emulate the current
385 behaviour. Setting them to 'yes' will add the author/recipients to the nosy
386 on messages that create issues and followup messages.
387 - reverting to dates for intervals > 2 months sucks
388 - changed the default message list in issues to display the message body
389 - applied patch #558876 ] cgi client customization
390 - split instance initialisation into two steps, allowing config changes
391 before the database is initialised.
392 - don't create an empty message on email issue creation if the email is empty
393 - may now display additional fields in Multilink form menus
394 - #541941 ] changing multilink properties by mail
395 - #526730 ] search for messages capability
396 - #505180 ] split MailGW.handle_Message
397 - also changed cgi client since it was duplicating the functionality
399 Fixed:
400 - stop sending blank (whitespace-only) notes
401 - cleanup of serialisation for database storage
402 - node ids are now generated from a lockable store - no more race conditions
403 - sorting was applied to all nodes of the MultiLink class instead of
404 to the nodes that are actually linked to in the "field" template
405 function. This adds about 20+ seconds in the display of an issue if
406 your database has a 1000 or more issues in it.
407 - added missing documentation for a few of the config option values
408 - file upload broke if you didn't supply a change note
409 - fixed SCRIPT_NAME in ZRoundup for instances not at top level of Zope
410 (thanks dman)
411 - fixed some sorting issues that were breaking some unit tests under py2.2
412 - mailgw test output dir was confusing the init test (but only on 2.2 *shrug*)
413 - node caching now works, and gives a small boost in performance
414 - #449374 ] re-enable bsddb3 backend
415 bsddb3 backend now works, reinstating
416 - #551483 ] assignedto in Client.make_index_link
417 - made backends.__init__ be more specific about which ImportErrors it really
418 wants to ignore
419 - fixed the example addresses in the templates to use correct example domains
420 - cleaned out the template stylesheets, removing a bunch of junk that really
421 wasn't necessary (font specs, styles never used) and added a style for
422 message content
423 - build htmlbase if tests are run using CVS checkout
424 - #565979 ] code error in hyperdb.Class.find
425 - #565996 ] The "Attach a File to this Issue" fails
426 - #564271 ] find() and new properties
427 - #562130 ] cookie path generated from ZRoundup was wrong in some situations
428 - remove CR characters embedded in messages (ZRoundup)
429 - properly quote the email address and "real name" in all situations using the
430 'email' module if it is available and 'rfc822' otherwise
431 - #565992 ] if ISSUE_TRACKER_WEB doesn't have the trailing '/', add it
432 - use the rfc822 module to ensure that every (oddball) email address and
433 real-name is properly quoted
434 - #558867 ] ZRoundup redirect /instance requests to /instance/
435 - #569415 ] {version}
436 - #569178 ] type error
437 was fixed as part of the general cleanup of reactors
440 2002-03-25 - 0.4.1
441 Feature:
442 - use blobfiles in back_anydbm which is used in back_bsddb.
443 change test_db as dirlist does not work for subdirectories.
444 ATTENTION: blobfiles now creates subdirectories for files.
445 - add module blobfiles in backends with file access functions.
446 - roundup db catch only IOError in getfile.
447 - roundup db catches retrieving not existing files.
448 - #503204 ] mailgw needs a default class
449 - partially done - the setting of additional properties can wait for a
450 better configuration system.
451 - Alternate email addresses are now available for users. See the MIGRATION
452 file for info on how to activate the feature.
453 - #511168 ] Web interface: Adding new products
454 Classes that don't provide template html get a default edit interface now:
455 - access using the admin "class list" interface
456 - limited to admin-only
457 - requires the csv module from object-craft (url given if it's missing)
458 - Added popup help for classes using the classhelp html template function.
459 - add <display call="classhelp('priority', 'id,name,description')">
460 to an item page, and it generates a link to a popup window which displays
461 the id, name and description for the priority class. The description
462 field won't exist in most installations, but it will be added to the
463 default templates.
464 - #517734 ] web header customisation is obscure
465 - All messages sent to the nosy list are now encoded as
466 quoted-printable before they are sent.
467 - Fixed display of mutlilink properties when using the template
468 functions, menu and plain.
470 Fixed:
471 - Clean up mail handling, multipart handling.
472 - respect encodings in non multipart messages.
473 - makeHtmlBase: re.sub under python 2.2 did not replace '.', string.replace
474 does it.
475 - preamble in tepmlateBuilder mentioned htmldata
476 - mailgw checks encoding on first part too.
477 - #511586 ] unittest FAIL: testReldate_date
478 - Added a uniquely Roundup header to email, "X-Roundup-Name"
479 - All forms now have "double-submit" protection when Javascript is enabled
480 on the client-side.
481 - #516883 ] mail interface + ANONYMOUS_REGISTER
482 - #516854 ] "My Issues" and redisplay
483 - #517906 ] Attribute order in "View customisation"
484 - #514854 ] History: "User" is always ticket creator
485 - wasn't handling cvs parser feeding correctly
486 - fixed some problems in date calculations (calendar.py doesn't handle over-
487 and under-flow). Also, hour/minute/second intervals may now be more than
488 99 each.
489 - #527416 ] roundup-admin uses undefined value
490 - #527503 ] unfriendly init blowup when parent dir
491 (also handles UsageError correctly now in init)
492 - #524129 ] roundup-admin gets python path wrong
495 2002-01-24 - 0.4.0
496 Feature:
497 - much nicer history display (actualy real handling of property types etc)
498 - journal entries for link and mutlilink properties can be switched on or
499 off
500 - properties in change note are now sorted
501 - you can now use the roundup-admin tool pack the database
503 Fixed:
504 - the mail gateway now responds with an error message when invalid values
505 for arguments are specified for link or mutlilink properties
506 - modified unit test to check nosy and assignedto when specified as arguments
507 - handle attachments with no name (eg tnef)
508 - fixed setting nosy as argument in subject line
509 - fixed back_bsddb so it passed the journal tests
510 - fixed status changes in mail gateway (eg. unread -> chatting)
511 - we'll actually distribute the frontends directory now, as advertised...
512 - handle stripping of "AW:" from subject line
513 - htmltemplate list() wasn't sorting...
514 - unit tests for html templating (and re-enabled the listbox field for
515 multilinks)
516 - allow abbreviation of "help" in admin tool too.
517 - run_tests testReldate_date failed if LANG is 'german'
518 - mailgw failures (unexpected ones) are forwarded to the roundup admin
521 2002-01-16 - 0.4.0b2
522 Fixed:
523 - #495392 ] empty nosy -patch
524 - #500574 ] messageid must have format <part1@part2>
525 - fixed some problems with web editing and change detection
526 - mail splitting wasn't detecting responses in the same "section" as quoted
527 text
528 - missed a "from i18n import _" in date.py
529 - #501690 ] MIGRATION.txt incomplete
530 - #502342 ] pipe interface
531 - #502437 ] rogue reactor and unittest
532 - re-enabled dumbdbm when using python >2.1.1 (ie 2.1.2, 2.2)
533 - changed all config accesses so they access either the instance or the
534 config attriubute on the db. This means that all config is obtained from
535 instance_config instead of the mish-mash of classes. This will make
536 switching to a ConfigParser setup easier too, I hope.
537 - #502951 ] adding new properties to old database
538 - #502953 ] nosy-like treatment of other multilinks
539 - #503164 ] create and passwords
540 - plain rendering of links in the htmltemplate now generate a hyperlink to
541 the linked node's page.
542 - #503330 ] ANONYMOUS_REGISTER now applies to mail
543 - #503353 ] setting properties in initial email
544 - #502956 ] filtering by multilink not supported
545 - #503340 ] creating issue with [asignedto=p.ohly]
546 - #502949 ] index view for non-issues and redisplay
547 - #503793 ] changing assignedto resets nosy list
548 - lots of date/interval related changes:
549 - more relaxed date format for input
550 - handle None for date/interval properties
553 2002-01-08 - 0.4.0b1
554 Feature:
555 - Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
556 the instance.
557 - Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
558 signature info in e-mails.
559 - Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
560 - Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
561 - Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
562 - We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
563 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
564 bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
565 lot more work anyway...
566 - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
567 single transaction
568 - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
569 if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
570 during the session (up to the last commit).
571 - Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
572 - Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
573 (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
574 - Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
575 - Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
576 needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
577 - much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
578 - #496356 ] Use threading in messages
579 This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
580 using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
581 feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
583 Fixed:
584 - Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
585 - login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
586 - Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
587 gateway.
588 - Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
589 on a failure)
590 - We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
591 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
592 - #487480 ] roundup-server
593 - #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
594 - #489760 ] [issue] only subject
595 - fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
596 - fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
597 - web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
598 - we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
599 this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
600 cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
601 - envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
602 delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
603 - #495400 ] entering blanks
604 Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
605 for details.
606 - #496360 ] table width does not work
607 - detectors were being registered multiple times
608 - added tests for mailgw
611 2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
612 Feature:
613 - #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
614 - #473123 ] Change message generation for author
615 - MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
616 - Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
617 - Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
618 - "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
619 - roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
620 - roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
621 - roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
622 - users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
623 - incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
624 e-mail
625 - added a target version field to the extended issue schema
626 - added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
627 translatable messages
629 Fixed:
630 - Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
631 - 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
632 - Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
633 - roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
634 - Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
635 - Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
636 - bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
637 - bug #474749 ] indentations lost
638 - bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
639 - bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
640 - bug #477687 ] conforming html
641 - bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
642 - bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
643 - bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
644 - bug #477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
645 - newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
646 - bug #479511 ] mailgw to pop
647 - bug #479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
648 - bad error report in hyperdb
649 - roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
650 of processing
651 - roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
652 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
653 an error message to the roundup admin.
654 - fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
655 - errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
656 squashed)
657 - re-open the database as the author in mail handling
658 - missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
661 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
662 Feature:
663 - MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
664 - feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
665 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
666 information is displayed.
667 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
668 - Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
669 - Tabular display of nodes.
670 - Import and export via colon-separated files.
672 Changed:
673 - re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
674 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
676 Fixed:
677 - Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
678 - CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
679 - Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
680 - Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
681 - Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
682 - Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
683 - Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
684 - bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
685 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
686 - bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
687 as numbers now.
688 - bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
689 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
690 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
691 - bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
692 - bug #473126: Sender unknown
693 - bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
696 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
697 Fixed:
698 - Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
699 property values. This broke a lot of things.
702 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
703 Feature:
704 - roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
705 on the command-line.
706 - hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
707 properties.
708 - CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
710 Changed:
711 - Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
712 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
713 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
714 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
715 - The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
716 - The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
717 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
718 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
719 - Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
720 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
721 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
722 number of encoding systems.
723 - The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
724 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
725 documentation for details.)
727 Fixed:
728 - Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
729 Ping - has been removed.
730 - Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
731 - Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
732 - AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
733 - Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
734 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
735 - Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
736 an item now throws an exception.
737 - The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
738 - Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
742 --------------
744 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
745 Fixed:
746 - Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
747 - Missing import in mailgw.
750 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
751 Feature:
752 - Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
753 regular expressions now.
755 Fixed:
756 - Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
757 - Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
758 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
759 - Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
760 - Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
761 that the change note message is actually genrated.
762 - CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
763 - Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
764 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
765 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
766 - Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
767 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
768 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
771 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
772 Note:
773 - Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
775 Feature:
776 - Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
777 with bugs in roundup.init!
778 - Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
779 the tests.
780 - Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
782 Fixed:
783 - Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
784 signatures now too.
785 - Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
786 - Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
787 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
788 - Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
789 - Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
790 module name for the instances on import time.
793 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
794 Note:
795 - The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
796 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
798 Fixed:
799 - Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
800 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
803 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
804 Features:
805 - Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
806 should be linked somewhere.
807 - Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
808 - Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
809 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
810 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
811 cleanup the header up.
812 - Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
813 - Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
814 are displayed.
815 - Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
816 rebuild.
817 - Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
818 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
819 - Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
820 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
821 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
822 instructions, etc).
824 Fixed:
825 - Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
826 - Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
827 - Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
828 - Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
829 - 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
830 - mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
831 was creating nodes for.
832 - remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
833 - Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
834 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
835 names.
838 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
839 Big change:
840 - I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
841 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
842 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
843 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
844 code in "extended" either way.
846 Features:
847 - Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
848 we do anything distutils'y.
849 - Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
850 - Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
851 help and better command-line arg handling.
852 - The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
853 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
854 - Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
856 Fixed:
857 - One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
858 - Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
859 hard-coded to "issue".
860 - templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
861 - The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
862 properly.
863 - The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
864 nodeid) properly.
867 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
868 Features:
869 - Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
870 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
871 - Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
872 tests for multipart splitting.
873 - Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
874 - Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
875 - Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
876 - Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
877 - Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
878 behaviour.
879 - Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
880 - Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
881 it).
883 Fixed:
884 - Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
885 - New issue form handles lack of note better now.
886 - HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
887 - Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
888 - Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
889 query elements.
890 - Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
891 changed now.
894 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
895 Features:
896 - Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
897 - Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
898 directory as "overview.html".
900 Fixes:
901 - Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
902 "html" directory in instance home.
903 - Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
904 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
905 There you go...
906 - Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
907 strict about such things.
909 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
910 Features:
911 - Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
912 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
913 back-ends.
914 - Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
915 out-of-the-box
916 - Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
917 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
918 - Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
919 - Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
920 out-of-the-box.
921 - Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
922 - Added some unit tests.
924 Fixes:
925 - Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
926 - Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
927 - Fixed adding new issue with no change note
928 - Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
929 quoted.
930 - Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
931 message.
933 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
934 - Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
935 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
936 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
937 - Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
938 - Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
939 - Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
940 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
941 - Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
942 - Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
943 - Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
944 columns to sort by to 2.
945 - Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
946 ^text - search for text at start of fields
947 text$ - search for text at end of fields
948 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
949 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
950 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
951 - Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
954 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
955 - Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
956 the priority column isn't displayed.
957 - Thanks Anthony:
958 - added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
959 - added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
960 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
961 - python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
962 - better handling of db directory in initDB
963 - Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken

965 properties, etc.
966 - Set the default index to sort on activity
