1 This file contains the changes to the Roundup system over time. The entries
2 are given with the most recent entry first.
4 2002-01-?? - 0.4.0??
5 . handle attachments with no name (eg tnef)
6 . display links a html link in history.
8 2002-01-16 - 0.4.0b2
9 Fixed:
10 . #495392 ] empty nosy -patch
11 . #500574 ] messageid must have format <part1@part2>
12 . fixed some problems with web editing and change detection
13 . mail splitting wasn't detecting responses in the same "section" as quoted
14 text
15 . missed a "from i18n import _" in date.py
16 . #501690 ] MIGRATION.txt incomplete
17 . #502342 ] pipe interface
18 . #502437 ] rogue reactor and unittest
19 . re-enabled dumbdbm when using python >2.1.1 (ie 2.1.2, 2.2)
20 . changed all config accesses so they access either the instance or the
21 config attriubute on the db. This means that all config is obtained from
22 instance_config instead of the mish-mash of classes. This will make
23 switching to a ConfigParser setup easier too, I hope.
24 . #502951 ] adding new properties to old database
25 . #502953 ] nosy-like treatment of other multilinks
26 . #503164 ] create and passwords
27 . plain rendering of links in the htmltemplate now generate a hyperlink to
28 the linked node's page.
29 . #503330 ] ANONYMOUS_REGISTER now applies to mail
30 . #503353 ] setting properties in initial email
31 . #502956 ] filtering by multilink not supported
32 . #503340 ] creating issue with [asignedto=p.ohly]
33 . #502949 ] index view for non-issues and redisplay
34 . #503793 ] changing assignedto resets nosy list
35 . lots of date/interval related changes:
36 - more relaxed date format for input
37 - handle None for date/interval properties
40 2002-01-08 - 0.4.0b1
41 Feature:
42 . Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
43 the instance.
44 . Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
45 signature info in e-mails.
46 . Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
47 . Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
48 . Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
49 . We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
50 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
51 bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
52 lot more work anyway...
53 - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
54 single transaction
55 - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
56 if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
57 during the session (up to the last commit).
58 . Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
59 . Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
60 (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
61 . Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
62 . Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
63 needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
64 . much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
65 . #496356 ] Use threading in messages
66 This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
67 using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
68 feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
70 Fixed:
71 . Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
72 . login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
73 . Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
74 gateway.
75 . Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
76 on a failure)
77 . We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
78 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
79 . #487480 ] roundup-server
80 . #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
81 . #489760 ] [issue] only subject
82 . fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
83 . fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
84 . web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
85 . we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
86 this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
87 cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
88 . envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
89 delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
90 . #495400 ] entering blanks
91 Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
92 for details.
93 . #496360 ] table width does not work
94 . detectors were being registered multiple times
95 . added tests for mailgw
98 2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
99 Feature:
100 . #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
101 . #473123 ] Change message generation for author
102 . MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
103 . Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
104 . Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
105 . "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
106 . roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
107 . roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
108 . roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
109 . users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
110 . incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
111 e-mail
112 . added a target version field to the extended issue schema
113 . added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
114 translatable messages
116 Fixed:
117 . Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
118 . 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
119 . Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
120 . roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
121 . Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
122 . Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
123 . bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
124 . bug #474749 ] indentations lost
125 . bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
126 . bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
127 . bug #477687 ] conforming html
128 . bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
129 . bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
130 . bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
131 . bug #477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
132 . newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
133 . bug #479511 ] mailgw to pop
134 . bug #479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
135 . bad error report in hyperdb
136 . roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
137 of processing
138 . roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
139 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
140 an error message to the roundup admin.
141 . fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
142 . errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
143 squashed)
144 . re-open the database as the author in mail handling
145 . missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
148 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
149 Feature:
150 . MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
151 . feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
152 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
153 information is displayed.
154 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
155 . Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
156 . Tabular display of nodes.
157 . Import and export via colon-separated files.
159 Changed:
160 . re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
161 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
163 Fixed:
164 . Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
165 . CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
166 . Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
167 . Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
168 . Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
169 . Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
170 . Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
171 . bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
172 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
173 . bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
174 as numbers now.
175 . bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
176 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
177 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
178 . bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
179 . bug #473126: Sender unknown
180 . bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
183 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
184 Fixed:
185 . Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
186 property values. This broke a lot of things.
189 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
190 Feature:
191 . roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
192 on the command-line.
193 . hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
194 properties.
195 . CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
197 Changed:
198 . Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
199 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
200 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
201 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
202 . The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
203 . The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
204 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
205 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
206 . Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
207 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
208 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
209 number of encoding systems.
210 . The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
211 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
212 documentation for details.)
214 Fixed:
215 . Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
216 Ping - has been removed.
217 . Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
218 . Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
219 . AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
220 . Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
221 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
222 . Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
223 an item now throws an exception.
224 . The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
225 . Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
229 --------------
231 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
232 Fixed:
233 . Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
234 . Missing import in mailgw.
237 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
238 Feature:
239 . Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
240 regular expressions now.
242 Fixed:
243 . Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
244 . Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
245 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
246 . Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
247 . Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
248 that the change note message is actually genrated.
249 . CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
250 . Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
251 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
252 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
253 . Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
254 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
255 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
258 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
259 Note:
260 . Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
262 Feature:
263 . Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
264 with bugs in roundup.init!
265 . Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
266 the tests.
267 . Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
269 Fixed:
270 . Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
271 signatures now too.
272 . Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
273 . Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
274 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
275 . Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
276 . Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
277 module name for the instances on import time.
280 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
281 Note:
282 . The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
283 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
285 Fixed:
286 . Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
287 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
290 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
291 Features:
292 . Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
293 should be linked somewhere.
294 . Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
295 . Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
296 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
297 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
298 cleanup the header up.
299 . Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
300 . Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
301 are displayed.
302 . Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
303 rebuild.
304 . Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
305 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
306 . Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
307 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
308 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
309 instructions, etc).
311 Fixed:
312 . Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
313 . Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
314 . Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
315 . Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
316 . 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
317 . mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
318 was creating nodes for.
319 . remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
320 . Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
321 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
322 names.
325 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
326 Big change:
327 . I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
328 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
329 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
330 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
331 code in "extended" either way.
333 Features:
334 . Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
335 we do anything distutils'y.
336 . Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
337 . Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
338 help and better command-line arg handling.
339 . The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
340 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
341 . Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
343 Fixed:
344 . One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
345 . Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
346 hard-coded to "issue".
347 . templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
348 . The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
349 properly.
350 . The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
351 nodeid) properly.
354 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
355 Features:
356 . Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
357 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
358 . Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
359 tests for multipart splitting.
360 . Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
361 . Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
362 . Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
363 . Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
364 . Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
365 behaviour.
366 . Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
367 . Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
368 it).
370 Fixed:
371 . Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
372 . New issue form handles lack of note better now.
373 . HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
374 . Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
375 . Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
376 query elements.
377 . Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
378 changed now.
381 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
382 Features:
383 . Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
384 . Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
385 directory as "overview.html".
387 Fixes:
388 . Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
389 "html" directory in instance home.
390 . Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
391 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
392 There you go...
393 . Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
394 strict about such things.
396 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
397 Features:
398 . Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
399 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
400 back-ends.
401 . Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
402 out-of-the-box
403 . Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
404 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
405 . Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
406 . Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
407 out-of-the-box.
408 . Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
409 . Added some unit tests.
411 Fixes:
412 . Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
413 . Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
414 . Fixed adding new issue with no change note
415 . Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
416 quoted.
417 . Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
418 message.
420 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
421 . Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
422 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
423 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
424 . Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
425 . Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
426 . Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
427 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
428 . Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
429 . Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
430 . Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
431 columns to sort by to 2.
432 . Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
433 ^text - search for text at start of fields
434 text$ - search for text at end of fields
435 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
436 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
437 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
438 . Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
441 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
442 . Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
443 the priority column isn't displayed.
444 . Thanks Anthony:
445 . added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
446 . added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
447 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
448 . python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
449 . better handling of db directory in initDB
450 . Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
451 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
452 properties, etc.
453 . Set the default index to sort on activity
456 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
457 . Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
458 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
460 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
461 . Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
462 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
463 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
464 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
