139 backends

141 if they're not all there

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

188 Fixed:
189 - #576086 ] dumb copying mistake (frontends/ZRoundup.py)

195 - web forms may now unset Link values (like assignedto)
196 - cleanup: moved roundup.templatebuilder to roundup.templates.builder
197 - instance __init__ no longer silently traps dbinit import errors
199 Feature:
200 - new backend for metakit (thanks Gordon McMillan)
201 - new backend for gadfly (it's as done as it's going to get)
202 - further split the dbm backends from the core code, allowing easier
203 non-dict-like backends (eg metakit, RDB)
204 - implemented and used the new access control mechanisms (Permissions, Roles)
205 (see doc/security.txt)
206 - switched templating to use Zope's PageTemplates (yay!)
207 - switched to sessions for web authentication
208 - added Boolean and Number types
209 - fixed the journal bloat
210 - updated design document for new access controls

215 - the page layout is now templatable
216 - re-worked cgi interface to abstract out the explicit "issue" interface
217 - have index page handle mid-page errors better so header and footer are
218 still visible
219 - we handle "not found", access and item page render errors better
220 - fixed double-submit by having new-item-submit redirect at end
221 - daemonify roundup-server (fork, logfile, pidfile)
222 - modify cgitb to display PageTemplate errors better
223 - rename to "instance" to "tracker"
224 - have roundup.cgi pick up tracker config from the environment
225 - revamped look and feel in web interface
226 - cleaned up stylesheet usage
227 - several bug fixes and documentation fixes
228 - added is_retired test to hyperdb.Class
229 - added capability to save queries:
230 - a query Class with name, klass (to search) and url (query string)
231 properties
232 - a Multilink to query on user called queries
233 - html templates for query, and a list of queries in user.item
234 - search form has Save button & name input
235 - saved queries put in menu in pagehead
236 - for migration, none of the above is required and old behavior preserved.
237 - showquery translates search form <-> query string
238 - cleaned up the indexer code:
239 - it splits more words out
240 - removed code we'll never use (roundup.roundup_indexer has the full
241 implementation, and replaces roundup.indexer)
242 - only index text/plain and rfc822/message (ideas for other text formats to
243 index are welcome)
244 - added simple unit test for indexer. Needs more tests for regression.
245 - all String properties may now be indexed too. Currently there's a bit of
246 "issue" specific code in the actual searching which needs to be
247 addressed. In a nutshell:
248 + pass 'indexme="yes"' as a String() property initialisation arg, eg:
249 file = FileClass(db, "file", name=String(), type=String(),
250 comment=String(indexme="yes"))
251 + the comment will then be indexed and be searchable, with the results
252 related back to the issue that the file is linked to
253 - as a result of this work, the FileClass has a default MIME type that may
254 be overridden in a subclass, or by the use of a "type" property as is
255 done in the default templates.
256 - the regeneration of the indexes (if necessary) is done once the schema is
257 set up in the dbinit.
258 - new "reindex" command in roundup-admin used to force regeneration of the
259 index
260 - added email display function - mangles email addrs so they're not so easily
261 scraped from the web
262 - switched to using a session-based web login
263 - made mailgw handle set and modify operations on multilinks (bug #579094)
264 - fixed the journal bloat from multilink changes - we just log the add or
265 remove operations, not the whole list
268 2002-06-24 0.4.2
269 Fixed:
270 - Cleaned up the hyperdb unit tests.
271 - Applied patch from Andrew W. Nosenko to give nicer Unauthorised message
272 when anonymous user tries to edit. Should've been applied in 0.4.2pr1. Oops.
273 - Added more detailed note to MIGRATION regarding the detectors changes.
276 2002-06-19 0.4.2pr1
277 Feature:
278 - added a "detectors" directory for people to put their useful auditors and
279 reactors in. Note - the roundupdb.IssueClass.sendmessage method has been
280 split and renamed "nosymessage" specifically for things like the nosy
281 reactor, and "send_message" which just sends the message.
282 - link() htmltemplate function now has a "showid" option for links and
283 multilinks. When true, it only displays the linked node id as the anchor
284 text. The link value is displayed as a tooltip using the title anchor
285 attribute.
286 To use in eg. the superseder field, have something like this:
287 <td>
288 <display call="field('superseder', showid=1)">
289 <display call="classhelp('issue', 'id,title', label='list', width=500)">
290 <property name="superseder">
291 <br>View: <display call="link('superseder', showid=1)">
292 </property>
293 </td>
294 - stripping of the email message body can now be controlled through the
295 config variables EMAIL_KEEP_QUOTED_TEXT and EMAIL_LEAVE_BODY_UNCHANGED.
296 - all database files created are now group readable and writable.
297 - added option to automatically add the authors and recipients of messages
298 to the nosy lists with the options ADD_AUTHOR_TO_NOSY (default 'new') and
299 ADD_RECIPIENTS_TO_NOSY (default 'new'). These settings emulate the current
300 behaviour. Setting them to 'yes' will add the author/recipients to the nosy
301 on messages that create issues and followup messages.
302 - reverting to dates for intervals > 2 months sucks
303 - changed the default message list in issues to display the message body
304 - applied patch #558876 ] cgi client customization
305 - split instance initialisation into two steps, allowing config changes
306 before the database is initialised.
307 - don't create an empty message on email issue creation if the email is empty
308 - may now display additional fields in Multilink form menus
309 - #541941 ] changing multilink properties by mail
310 - #526730 ] search for messages capability
311 - #505180 ] split MailGW.handle_Message
312 - also changed cgi client since it was duplicating the functionality
314 Fixed:
315 - stop sending blank (whitespace-only) notes
316 - cleanup of serialisation for database storage
317 - node ids are now generated from a lockable store - no more race conditions
318 - sorting was applied to all nodes of the MultiLink class instead of
319 to the nodes that are actually linked to in the "field" template
320 function. This adds about 20+ seconds in the display of an issue if
321 your database has a 1000 or more issues in it.
322 - added missing documentation for a few of the config option values
323 - file upload broke if you didn't supply a change note
324 - fixed SCRIPT_NAME in ZRoundup for instances not at top level of Zope
325 (thanks dman)
326 - fixed some sorting issues that were breaking some unit tests under py2.2
327 - mailgw test output dir was confusing the init test (but only on 2.2 *shrug*)
328 - node caching now works, and gives a small boost in performance
329 - #449374 ] re-enable bsddb3 backend
330 bsddb3 backend now works, reinstating
331 - #551483 ] assignedto in Client.make_index_link
332 - made backends.__init__ be more specific about which ImportErrors it really
333 wants to ignore
334 - fixed the example addresses in the templates to use correct example domains
335 - cleaned out the template stylesheets, removing a bunch of junk that really
336 wasn't necessary (font specs, styles never used) and added a style for
337 message content
338 - build htmlbase if tests are run using CVS checkout
339 - #565979 ] code error in hyperdb.Class.find
340 - #565996 ] The "Attach a File to this Issue" fails
341 - #564271 ] find() and new properties
342 - #562130 ] cookie path generated from ZRoundup was wrong in some situations
343 - remove CR characters embedded in messages (ZRoundup)
344 - properly quote the email address and "real name" in all situations using the
345 'email' module if it is available and 'rfc822' otherwise
346 - #565992 ] if ISSUE_TRACKER_WEB doesn't have the trailing '/', add it
347 - use the rfc822 module to ensure that every (oddball) email address and
348 real-name is properly quoted
349 - #558867 ] ZRoundup redirect /instance requests to /instance/
350 - #569415 ] {version}
351 - #569178 ] type error
352 was fixed as part of the general cleanup of reactors
355 2002-03-25 - 0.4.1
356 Feature:
357 - use blobfiles in back_anydbm which is used in back_bsddb.
358 change test_db as dirlist does not work for subdirectories.
359 ATTENTION: blobfiles now creates subdirectories for files.
360 - add module blobfiles in backends with file access functions.
361 - roundup db catch only IOError in getfile.
362 - roundup db catches retrieving not existing files.
363 - #503204 ] mailgw needs a default class
364 - partially done - the setting of additional properties can wait for a
365 better configuration system.
366 - Alternate email addresses are now available for users. See the MIGRATION
367 file for info on how to activate the feature.
368 - #511168 ] Web interface: Adding new products
369 Classes that don't provide template html get a default edit interface now:
370 - access using the admin "class list" interface
371 - limited to admin-only
372 - requires the csv module from object-craft (url given if it's missing)
373 - Added popup help for classes using the classhelp html template function.
374 - add <display call="classhelp('priority', 'id,name,description')">
375 to an item page, and it generates a link to a popup window which displays
376 the id, name and description for the priority class. The description
377 field won't exist in most installations, but it will be added to the
378 default templates.
379 - #517734 ] web header customisation is obscure
380 - All messages sent to the nosy list are now encoded as
381 quoted-printable before they are sent.
382 - Fixed display of mutlilink properties when using the template
383 functions, menu and plain.
385 Fixed:
386 - Clean up mail handling, multipart handling.
387 - respect encodings in non multipart messages.
388 - makeHtmlBase: re.sub under python 2.2 did not replace '.', string.replace
389 does it.
390 - preamble in tepmlateBuilder mentioned htmldata
391 - mailgw checks encoding on first part too.
392 - #511586 ] unittest FAIL: testReldate_date

399 - #514854 ] History: "User" is always ticket creator
400 - wasn't handling cvs parser feeding correctly
401 - fixed some problems in date calculations (calendar.py doesn't handle over-
402 and under-flow). Also, hour/minute/second intervals may now be more than
403 99 each.
404 - #527416 ] roundup-admin uses undefined value
405 - #527503 ] unfriendly init blowup when parent dir
406 (also handles UsageError correctly now in init)

448 - changed all config accesses so they access either the instance or the
449 config attriubute on the db. This means that all config is obtained from

468 2002-01-08 - 0.4.0b1
469 Feature:
470 - Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
471 the instance.
472 - Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
473 signature info in e-mails.
474 - Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
475 - Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
476 - Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
477 - We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
478 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
479 bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
480 lot more work anyway...
481 - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
482 single transaction
483 - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
484 if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
485 during the session (up to the last commit).
486 - Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
487 - Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
488 (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
489 - Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
490 - Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
491 needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
492 - much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
493 - #496356 ] Use threading in messages
494 This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
495 using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
496 feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
498 Fixed:
499 - Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
500 - login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
501 - Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
502 gateway.
503 - Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
504 on a failure)
505 - We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
506 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
507 - #487480 ] roundup-server
508 - #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
509 - #489760 ] [issue] only subject
510 - fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
511 - fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
512 - web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
513 - we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
514 this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
515 cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
516 - envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
517 delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
518 - #495400 ] entering blanks
519 Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
520 for details.
521 - #496360 ] table width does not work
522 - detectors were being registered multiple times
523 - added tests for mailgw
526 2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
527 Feature:
528 - #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
529 - #473123 ] Change message generation for author
530 - MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
531 - Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
532 - Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
533 - "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
534 - roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
535 - roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
536 - roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
537 - users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
538 - incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
539 e-mail
540 - added a target version field to the extended issue schema
541 - added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
542 translatable messages
544 Fixed:
545 - Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
546 - 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
547 - Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
548 - roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
549 - Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
550 - Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
551 - bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
552 - bug #474749 ] indentations lost
553 - bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
554 - bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
555 - bug #477687 ] conforming html
556 - bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
557 - bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
558 - bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
559 - bug #477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
560 - newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
561 - bug #479511 ] mailgw to pop
562 - bug #479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
563 - bad error report in hyperdb
564 - roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
565 of processing
566 - roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
567 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
568 an error message to the roundup admin.
569 - fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
570 - errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
571 squashed)
572 - re-open the database as the author in mail handling
573 - missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
576 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
577 Feature:
578 - MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
579 - feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
580 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
581 information is displayed.
582 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
583 - Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
584 - Tabular display of nodes.
585 - Import and export via colon-separated files.
587 Changed:
588 - re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
589 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
591 Fixed:
592 - Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
593 - CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
594 - Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
595 - Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
596 - Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
597 - Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
598 - Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
599 - bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
600 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
601 - bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
602 as numbers now.
603 - bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
604 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
605 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
606 - bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
607 - bug #473126: Sender unknown
608 - bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
611 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
612 Fixed:
613 - Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
614 property values. This broke a lot of things.
617 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
618 Feature:
619 - roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
620 on the command-line.
621 - hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
622 properties.
623 - CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
625 Changed:
626 - Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
627 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
628 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
629 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
630 - The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
631 - The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
632 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
633 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
634 - Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
635 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
636 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
637 number of encoding systems.
638 - The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
639 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
640 documentation for details.)
642 Fixed:
643 - Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
644 Ping - has been removed.
645 - Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
646 - Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
647 - AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
648 - Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
649 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
650 - Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
651 an item now throws an exception.
652 - The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
653 - Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
657 --------------
659 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
660 Fixed:
661 - Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
662 - Missing import in mailgw.
665 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
666 Feature:
667 - Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
668 regular expressions now.
670 Fixed:
671 - Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
672 - Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
673 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
674 - Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
675 - Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
676 that the change note message is actually genrated.
677 - CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
678 - Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
679 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
680 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
681 - Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
682 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
683 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
686 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
687 Note:
688 - Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
690 Feature:
691 - Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
692 with bugs in roundup.init!
693 - Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
694 the tests.
695 - Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
697 Fixed:
698 - Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
699 signatures now too.
700 - Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
701 - Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
702 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
703 - Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
704 - Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
705 module name for the instances on import time.
708 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
709 Note:
710 - The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
711 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
713 Fixed:
714 - Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
715 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
718 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
719 Features:
720 - Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
721 should be linked somewhere.
722 - Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
723 - Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
724 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
725 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
726 cleanup the header up.
727 - Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
728 - Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
729 are displayed.
730 - Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
731 rebuild.
732 - Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
733 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
734 - Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
735 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
736 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
737 instructions, etc).
739 Fixed:
740 - Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
741 - Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
742 - Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
743 - Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
744 - 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
745 - mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
746 was creating nodes for.
747 - remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
748 - Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
749 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
750 names.
753 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
754 Big change:
755 - I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
756 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
757 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
758 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
759 code in "extended" either way.
761 Features:
762 - Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
763 we do anything distutils'y.
764 - Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
765 - Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
766 help and better command-line arg handling.
767 - The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
768 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
769 - Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
771 Fixed:
772 - One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
773 - Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
774 hard-coded to "issue".
775 - templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
776 - The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
777 properly.
778 - The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
779 nodeid) properly.
782 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
783 Features:
784 - Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
785 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
786 - Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
787 tests for multipart splitting.
788 - Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
789 - Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
790 - Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
791 - Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
792 - Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
793 behaviour.
794 - Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
795 - Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
796 it).
798 Fixed:
799 - Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
800 - New issue form handles lack of note better now.
801 - HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
802 - Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
803 - Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
804 query elements.
805 - Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
806 changed now.
809 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
810 Features:
811 - Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
812 - Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
813 directory as "overview.html".
815 Fixes:
816 - Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
817 "html" directory in instance home.
818 - Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
819 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
820 There you go...
821 - Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
822 strict about such things.
824 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
825 Features:
826 - Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
827 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
828 back-ends.
829 - Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
830 out-of-the-box
831 - Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
832 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
833 - Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
834 - Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
835 out-of-the-box.
836 - Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
837 - Added some unit tests.
839 Fixes:
840 - Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
841 - Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
842 - Fixed adding new issue with no change note
843 - Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
844 quoted.
845 - Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
846 message.
848 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
849 - Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
850 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
851 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
852 - Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
853 - Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
854 - Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
855 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
856 - Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
857 - Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
858 - Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
859 columns to sort by to 2.
860 - Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
861 ^text - search for text at start of fields
862 text$ - search for text at end of fields
863 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
864 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
865 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
866 - Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
869 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
870 - Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
871 the priority column isn't displayed.
872 - Thanks Anthony:
873 - added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
874 - added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
875 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
876 - python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
877 - better handling of db directory in initDB
878 - Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
879 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
880 properties, etc.
881 - Set the default index to sort on activity
884 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
885 - Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
886 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
888 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
889 - Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
890 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
891 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
892 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
