10 (thanks John Rouillard)
11 - applied patch for nicer history display (sf feature 638280)

151 - password edit now has a confirmation field
152 - registration error punts back to register page
153 - gadfly backend now handles changes to the schema - but only one property
154 at a time
155 - cgi.client base URL is now obtained from the config TRACKER_WEB
156 - request.url has gone away - there's too much magic in trying to figure
157 what it should be
158 - cgi-bin script redirects to https now if the request was https
159 - FileClass "content" property wasn't being returned by getprops() in most
160 backends
161 - we now verify instance attributes on instance open and throw a useful error
162 if they're not all there
163 - sf 611217 ] menu() has problems when labelprop==None
164 - verify contents of tracker module when the tracker is opened
165 - many performance improvements in *dbm and sql backends
166 - mailgw was missing an "import sys"
167 - setup now installs scripts with python -O flag, doubling performance in some

181 - giving a user a Role that doesn't exist doesn't break stuff any more
182 - revamped user guide, customisation guide, added maintenance guide
183 - merge Zope Collector #538 fix from ZPT CVS trunk (path expressions with a

185 alternate)
186 - merge Zope Collector #573 fix from ZPT CVS trunk

209 Fixed:
210 - #576086 ] dumb copying mistake (frontends/ZRoundup.py)

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

235 - re-enabled link backrefs from messages (feature request #568714)
236 - the page layout is now templatable
237 - re-worked cgi interface to abstract out the explicit "issue" interface
238 - have index page handle mid-page errors better so header and footer are
239 still visible
240 - we handle "not found", access and item page render errors better
241 - fixed double-submit by having new-item-submit redirect at end
242 - daemonify roundup-server (fork, logfile, pidfile)
243 - modify cgitb to display PageTemplate errors better
244 - rename to "instance" to "tracker"
245 - have roundup.cgi pick up tracker config from the environment
246 - revamped look and feel in web interface
247 - cleaned up stylesheet usage
248 - several bug fixes and documentation fixes
249 - added is_retired test to hyperdb.Class
250 - added capability to save queries:
251 - a query Class with name, klass (to search) and url (query string)
252 properties
253 - a Multilink to query on user called queries
254 - html templates for query, and a list of queries in user.item
255 - search form has Save button & name input
256 - saved queries put in menu in pagehead
257 - for migration, none of the above is required and old behavior preserved.
258 - showquery translates search form <-> query string
259 - cleaned up the indexer code:
260 - it splits more words out
261 - removed code we'll never use (roundup.roundup_indexer has the full
262 implementation, and replaces roundup.indexer)
263 - only index text/plain and rfc822/message (ideas for other text formats to
264 index are welcome)
265 - added simple unit test for indexer. Needs more tests for regression.
266 - all String properties may now be indexed too. Currently there's a bit of
267 "issue" specific code in the actual searching which needs to be
268 addressed. In a nutshell:
269 + pass 'indexme="yes"' as a String() property initialisation arg, eg:
270 file = FileClass(db, "file", name=String(), type=String(),
271 comment=String(indexme="yes"))
272 + the comment will then be indexed and be searchable, with the results
273 related back to the issue that the file is linked to
274 - as a result of this work, the FileClass has a default MIME type that may
275 be overridden in a subclass, or by the use of a "type" property as is
276 done in the default templates.
277 - the regeneration of the indexes (if necessary) is done once the schema is
278 set up in the dbinit.
279 - new "reindex" command in roundup-admin used to force regeneration of the
280 index
281 - added email display function - mangles email addrs so they're not so easily
282 scraped from the web
283 - switched to using a session-based web login
284 - made mailgw handle set and modify operations on multilinks (bug #579094)
285 - fixed the journal bloat from multilink changes - we just log the add or
286 remove operations, not the whole list
289 2002-06-24 0.4.2
290 Fixed:
291 - Cleaned up the hyperdb unit tests.
292 - Applied patch from Andrew W. Nosenko to give nicer Unauthorised message
293 when anonymous user tries to edit. Should've been applied in 0.4.2pr1. Oops.
294 - Added more detailed note to MIGRATION regarding the detectors changes.
297 2002-06-19 0.4.2pr1
298 Feature:
299 - added a "detectors" directory for people to put their useful auditors and
300 reactors in. Note - the roundupdb.IssueClass.sendmessage method has been
301 split and renamed "nosymessage" specifically for things like the nosy
302 reactor, and "send_message" which just sends the message.
303 - link() htmltemplate function now has a "showid" option for links and
304 multilinks. When true, it only displays the linked node id as the anchor
305 text. The link value is displayed as a tooltip using the title anchor
306 attribute.
307 To use in eg. the superseder field, have something like this:
308 <td>
309 <display call="field('superseder', showid=1)">
310 <display call="classhelp('issue', 'id,title', label='list', width=500)">
311 <property name="superseder">
312 <br>View: <display call="link('superseder', showid=1)">
313 </property>
314 </td>
315 - stripping of the email message body can now be controlled through the
316 config variables EMAIL_KEEP_QUOTED_TEXT and EMAIL_LEAVE_BODY_UNCHANGED.
317 - all database files created are now group readable and writable.
318 - added option to automatically add the authors and recipients of messages
319 to the nosy lists with the options ADD_AUTHOR_TO_NOSY (default 'new') and
320 ADD_RECIPIENTS_TO_NOSY (default 'new'). These settings emulate the current
321 behaviour. Setting them to 'yes' will add the author/recipients to the nosy
322 on messages that create issues and followup messages.
323 - reverting to dates for intervals > 2 months sucks
324 - changed the default message list in issues to display the message body
325 - applied patch #558876 ] cgi client customization
326 - split instance initialisation into two steps, allowing config changes
327 before the database is initialised.
328 - don't create an empty message on email issue creation if the email is empty
329 - may now display additional fields in Multilink form menus
330 - #541941 ] changing multilink properties by mail
331 - #526730 ] search for messages capability
332 - #505180 ] split MailGW.handle_Message
333 - also changed cgi client since it was duplicating the functionality
335 Fixed:
336 - stop sending blank (whitespace-only) notes
337 - cleanup of serialisation for database storage
338 - node ids are now generated from a lockable store - no more race conditions
339 - sorting was applied to all nodes of the MultiLink class instead of
340 to the nodes that are actually linked to in the "field" template
341 function. This adds about 20+ seconds in the display of an issue if
342 your database has a 1000 or more issues in it.
343 - added missing documentation for a few of the config option values
344 - file upload broke if you didn't supply a change note
345 - fixed SCRIPT_NAME in ZRoundup for instances not at top level of Zope
346 (thanks dman)
347 - fixed some sorting issues that were breaking some unit tests under py2.2
348 - mailgw test output dir was confusing the init test (but only on 2.2 *shrug*)
349 - node caching now works, and gives a small boost in performance
350 - #449374 ] re-enable bsddb3 backend
351 bsddb3 backend now works, reinstating
352 - #551483 ] assignedto in Client.make_index_link
353 - made backends.__init__ be more specific about which ImportErrors it really
354 wants to ignore
355 - fixed the example addresses in the templates to use correct example domains
356 - cleaned out the template stylesheets, removing a bunch of junk that really
357 wasn't necessary (font specs, styles never used) and added a style for
358 message content
359 - build htmlbase if tests are run using CVS checkout
360 - #565979 ] code error in hyperdb.Class.find
361 - #565996 ] The "Attach a File to this Issue" fails
362 - #564271 ] find() and new properties
363 - #562130 ] cookie path generated from ZRoundup was wrong in some situations
364 - remove CR characters embedded in messages (ZRoundup)
365 - properly quote the email address and "real name" in all situations using the
366 'email' module if it is available and 'rfc822' otherwise
367 - #565992 ] if ISSUE_TRACKER_WEB doesn't have the trailing '/', add it
368 - use the rfc822 module to ensure that every (oddball) email address and
369 real-name is properly quoted
370 - #558867 ] ZRoundup redirect /instance requests to /instance/
371 - #569415 ] {version}
372 - #569178 ] type error
373 was fixed as part of the general cleanup of reactors
376 2002-03-25 - 0.4.1
377 Feature:
378 - use blobfiles in back_anydbm which is used in back_bsddb.
379 change test_db as dirlist does not work for subdirectories.
380 ATTENTION: blobfiles now creates subdirectories for files.
381 - add module blobfiles in backends with file access functions.
382 - roundup db catch only IOError in getfile.
383 - roundup db catches retrieving not existing files.
384 - #503204 ] mailgw needs a default class
385 - partially done - the setting of additional properties can wait for a
386 better configuration system.
387 - Alternate email addresses are now available for users. See the MIGRATION
388 file for info on how to activate the feature.
389 - #511168 ] Web interface: Adding new products
390 Classes that don't provide template html get a default edit interface now:
391 - access using the admin "class list" interface
392 - limited to admin-only
393 - requires the csv module from object-craft (url given if it's missing)
394 - Added popup help for classes using the classhelp html template function.
395 - add <display call="classhelp('priority', 'id,name,description')">
396 to an item page, and it generates a link to a popup window which displays
397 the id, name and description for the priority class. The description
398 field won't exist in most installations, but it will be added to the
399 default templates.
400 - #517734 ] web header customisation is obscure
401 - All messages sent to the nosy list are now encoded as
402 quoted-printable before they are sent.
403 - Fixed display of mutlilink properties when using the template
404 functions, menu and plain.
406 Fixed:
407 - Clean up mail handling, multipart handling.
408 - respect encodings in non multipart messages.

412 - mailgw checks encoding on first part too.
413 - #511586 ] unittest FAIL: testReldate_date

420 - #514854 ] History: "User" is always ticket creator
421 - wasn't handling cvs parser feeding correctly
422 - fixed some problems in date calculations (calendar.py doesn't handle over-
423 and under-flow). Also, hour/minute/second intervals may now be more than
424 99 each.
425 - #527416 ] roundup-admin uses undefined value
426 - #527503 ] unfriendly init blowup when parent dir

467 - #502437 ] rogue reactor and unittest
468 - re-enabled dumbdbm when using python >2.1.1 (ie 2.1.2, 2.2)
469 - changed all config accesses so they access either the instance or the
470 config attriubute on the db. This means that all config is obtained from
471 instance_config instead of the mish-mash of classes. This will make
472 switching to a ConfigParser setup easier too, I hope.
473 - #502951 ] adding new properties to old database
474 - #502953 ] nosy-like treatment of other multilinks
475 - #503164 ] create and passwords
476 - plain rendering of links in the htmltemplate now generate a hyperlink to
477 the linked node's page.
478 - #503330 ] ANONYMOUS_REGISTER now applies to mail
479 - #503353 ] setting properties in initial email
480 - #502956 ] filtering by multilink not supported
481 - #503340 ] creating issue with [asignedto=p.ohly]
482 - #502949 ] index view for non-issues and redisplay
483 - #503793 ] changing assignedto resets nosy list
484 - lots of date/interval related changes:
485 - more relaxed date format for input
486 - handle None for date/interval properties
489 2002-01-08 - 0.4.0b1
490 Feature:
491 - Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
492 the instance.
493 - Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
494 signature info in e-mails.
495 - Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
496 - Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
497 - Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
498 - We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
499 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
500 bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
501 lot more work anyway...
502 - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
503 single transaction
504 - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
505 if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
506 during the session (up to the last commit).
507 - Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
508 - Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
509 (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
510 - Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
511 - Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
512 needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
513 - much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
514 - #496356 ] Use threading in messages
515 This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
516 using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
517 feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
519 Fixed:
520 - Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
521 - login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
522 - Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
523 gateway.
524 - Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
525 on a failure)
526 - We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
527 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
528 - #487480 ] roundup-server
529 - #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
530 - #489760 ] [issue] only subject
531 - fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
532 - fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
533 - web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
534 - we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
535 this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
536 cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
537 - envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
538 delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
539 - #495400 ] entering blanks
540 Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
541 for details.
542 - #496360 ] table width does not work
543 - detectors were being registered multiple times
544 - added tests for mailgw
547 2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
548 Feature:
549 - #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
550 - #473123 ] Change message generation for author
551 - MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
552 - Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
553 - Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
554 - "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
555 - roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
556 - roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
557 - roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
558 - users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
559 - incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
560 e-mail
561 - added a target version field to the extended issue schema
562 - added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
563 translatable messages
565 Fixed:
566 - Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
567 - 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
568 - Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
569 - roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
570 - Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
571 - Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
572 - bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
573 - bug #474749 ] indentations lost
574 - bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
575 - bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
576 - bug #477687 ] conforming html
577 - bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
578 - bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
579 - bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
580 - bug #477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
581 - newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
582 - bug #479511 ] mailgw to pop
583 - bug #479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
584 - bad error report in hyperdb
585 - roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
586 of processing
587 - roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
588 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
589 an error message to the roundup admin.
590 - fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
591 - errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
592 squashed)
593 - re-open the database as the author in mail handling
594 - missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
597 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
598 Feature:
599 - MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
600 - feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
601 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
602 information is displayed.
603 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
604 - Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
605 - Tabular display of nodes.
606 - Import and export via colon-separated files.
608 Changed:
609 - re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
610 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
612 Fixed:
613 - Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
614 - CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
615 - Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
616 - Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
617 - Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
618 - Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
619 - Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
620 - bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
621 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
622 - bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
623 as numbers now.
624 - bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
625 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
626 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
627 - bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
628 - bug #473126: Sender unknown
629 - bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
632 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
633 Fixed:
634 - Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
635 property values. This broke a lot of things.
638 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
639 Feature:
640 - roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
641 on the command-line.
642 - hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
643 properties.
644 - CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
646 Changed:
647 - Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
648 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
649 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
650 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
651 - The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
652 - The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
653 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
654 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
655 - Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
656 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
657 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
658 number of encoding systems.
659 - The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
660 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
661 documentation for details.)
663 Fixed:
664 - Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
665 Ping - has been removed.
666 - Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
667 - Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
668 - AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
669 - Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
670 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
671 - Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
672 an item now throws an exception.
673 - The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
674 - Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
678 --------------
680 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
681 Fixed:
682 - Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
683 - Missing import in mailgw.
686 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
687 Feature:
688 - Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
689 regular expressions now.
691 Fixed:
692 - Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
693 - Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
694 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
695 - Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
696 - Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
697 that the change note message is actually genrated.
698 - CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
699 - Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
700 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
701 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
702 - Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
703 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
704 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
707 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
708 Note:
709 - Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
711 Feature:
712 - Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
713 with bugs in roundup.init!
714 - Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
715 the tests.
716 - Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
718 Fixed:
719 - Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
720 signatures now too.
721 - Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
722 - Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
723 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
724 - Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
725 - Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
726 module name for the instances on import time.
729 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
730 Note:
731 - The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
732 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
734 Fixed:
735 - Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
736 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
739 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
740 Features:
741 - Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
742 should be linked somewhere.
743 - Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
744 - Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
745 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
746 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
747 cleanup the header up.
748 - Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
749 - Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
750 are displayed.
751 - Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
752 rebuild.
753 - Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
754 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
755 - Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
756 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
757 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
758 instructions, etc).
760 Fixed:
761 - Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
762 - Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
763 - Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
764 - Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
765 - 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
766 - mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
767 was creating nodes for.
768 - remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
769 - Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
770 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
771 names.
774 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
775 Big change:
776 - I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
777 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
778 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
779 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
780 code in "extended" either way.
782 Features:
783 - Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
784 we do anything distutils'y.
785 - Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
786 - Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
787 help and better command-line arg handling.
788 - The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
789 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
790 - Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
792 Fixed:
793 - One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
794 - Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
795 hard-coded to "issue".
796 - templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
797 - The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
798 properly.
799 - The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
800 nodeid) properly.
803 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
804 Features:
805 - Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
806 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
807 - Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
808 tests for multipart splitting.
809 - Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
810 - Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
811 - Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
812 - Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
813 - Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
814 behaviour.
815 - Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
816 - Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
817 it).
819 Fixed:
820 - Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
821 - New issue form handles lack of note better now.
822 - HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
823 - Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
824 - Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
825 query elements.
826 - Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
827 changed now.
830 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
831 Features:
832 - Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
833 - Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
834 directory as "overview.html".
836 Fixes:
837 - Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
838 "html" directory in instance home.
839 - Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
840 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
841 There you go...
842 - Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
843 strict about such things.
845 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
846 Features:
847 - Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
848 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
849 back-ends.
850 - Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
851 out-of-the-box
852 - Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
853 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
854 - Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
855 - Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
856 out-of-the-box.
857 - Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
858 - Added some unit tests.
860 Fixes:
861 - Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
862 - Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
863 - Fixed adding new issue with no change note
864 - Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
865 quoted.
866 - Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
867 message.
869 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
870 - Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
871 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
872 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
873 - Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
874 - Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
875 - Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
876 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
877 - Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
878 - Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
879 - Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
880 columns to sort by to 2.
881 - Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
882 ^text - search for text at start of fields
883 text$ - search for text at end of fields
884 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
885 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
886 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
887 - Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
890 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
891 - Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
892 the priority column isn't displayed.
893 - Thanks Anthony:
894 - added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
895 - added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
896 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
897 - python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
898 - better handling of db directory in initDB
899 - Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
900 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
901 properties, etc.
902 - Set the default index to sort on activity
905 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
906 - Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
907 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
909 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
910 - Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
911 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
912 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
913 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
