9 - gadfly backend now handles changes to the schema - but only one property
10 at a time
11 - cgi.client base URL is now obtained from the config TRACKER_WEB
12 - request.url has gone away - there's too much magic in trying to figure
13 what it should be
14 - cgi-bin script redirects to https now if the request was https
15 - FileClass "content" property wasn't being returned by getprops() in most
16 backends
17 - we now verify instance attributes on instance open and throw a useful error
18 if they're not all there
19 - sf 611217 ] menu() has problems when labelprop==None
20 - verify contents of tracker module when the tracker is opened
21 - many performance improvements in *dbm and sql backends
22 - mailgw was missing an "import sys"
23 - setup now installs scripts with python -O flag, doubling performance in some
24 cases (there's a lot of __debug__ use)
25 - fix :required for Link menus
26 - import wasn't setting the ID to maxid+1
27 - added getItem to HTMLClass so you can access arbitrary items in templates
28 - index filtering form values may now be key values too
29 - replaced the content() callback ickiness with Page Template macro usage

43 - all backends now have a .close() method, and it's used everywhere
44 - fixed bug in detectors __init__
45 - switched the default issue item display to only show issue summary
46 (added instructions to doc to make it display entire content)
47 - MANIFEST.in was missing a lot of template files
48 - added generic item editing
49 - much nicer layout of template rendering errors
50 - added context/is_edit_ok and context/is_view_ok convenience methods and
51 implemented use of them in the classic template
54 2002-09-11 0.5.0 beta1
55 Fixed:
56 - #576086 ] dumb copying mistake (frontends/ZRoundup.py)
57 - installation instructions now mention "python2" in "testing your python".
58 - made the unit tests run again - they were quite b0rken
59 - #571170 ] gdbm deadlock
60 - #576241 ] MultiLink problems in parsePropsFromForm
61 - fixed the date module so that Date(". - 2d") works
62 - web forms may now unset Link values (like assignedto)
63 - cleanup: moved roundup.templatebuilder to roundup.templates.builder
64 - instance __init__ no longer silently traps dbinit import errors
66 Feature:
67 - new backend for metakit (thanks Gordon McMillan)
68 - new backend for gadfly (it's as done as it's going to get)
69 - further split the dbm backends from the core code, allowing easier
70 non-dict-like backends (eg metakit, RDB)
71 - implemented and used the new access control mechanisms (Permissions, Roles)
72 (see doc/security.txt)
73 - switched templating to use Zope's PageTemplates (yay!)
74 - switched to sessions for web authentication
75 - added Boolean and Number types
76 - fixed the journal bloat
77 - updated design document for new access controls
78 - updated customisation document, including more examples
79 - entire database export and import (incl files)
80 - better mailgw help message (feature request #558562)
81 - re-enabled link backrefs from messages (feature request #568714)
82 - the page layout is now templatable
83 - re-worked cgi interface to abstract out the explicit "issue" interface
84 - have index page handle mid-page errors better so header and footer are
85 still visible
86 - we handle "not found", access and item page render errors better
87 - fixed double-submit by having new-item-submit redirect at end
88 - daemonify roundup-server (fork, logfile, pidfile)
89 - modify cgitb to display PageTemplate errors better
90 - rename to "instance" to "tracker"
91 - have roundup.cgi pick up tracker config from the environment
92 - revamped look and feel in web interface
93 - cleaned up stylesheet usage
94 - several bug fixes and documentation fixes
95 - added is_retired test to hyperdb.Class
96 - added capability to save queries:
97 - a query Class with name, klass (to search) and url (query string)
98 properties
99 - a Multilink to query on user called queries
100 - html templates for query, and a list of queries in user.item
101 - search form has Save button & name input
102 - saved queries put in menu in pagehead
103 - for migration, none of the above is required and old behavior preserved.
104 - showquery translates search form <-> query string
105 - cleaned up the indexer code:
106 - it splits more words out
107 - removed code we'll never use (roundup.roundup_indexer has the full
108 implementation, and replaces roundup.indexer)
109 - only index text/plain and rfc822/message (ideas for other text formats to
110 index are welcome)
111 - added simple unit test for indexer. Needs more tests for regression.
112 - all String properties may now be indexed too. Currently there's a bit of
113 "issue" specific code in the actual searching which needs to be
114 addressed. In a nutshell:
115 + pass 'indexme="yes"' as a String() property initialisation arg, eg:
116 file = FileClass(db, "file", name=String(), type=String(),
117 comment=String(indexme="yes"))
118 + the comment will then be indexed and be searchable, with the results
119 related back to the issue that the file is linked to
120 - as a result of this work, the FileClass has a default MIME type that may
121 be overridden in a subclass, or by the use of a "type" property as is
122 done in the default templates.
123 - the regeneration of the indexes (if necessary) is done once the schema is
124 set up in the dbinit.
125 - new "reindex" command in roundup-admin used to force regeneration of the
126 index
127 - added email display function - mangles email addrs so they're not so easily
128 scraped from the web
129 - switched to using a session-based web login
130 - made mailgw handle set and modify operations on multilinks (bug #579094)
131 - fixed the journal bloat from multilink changes - we just log the add or
132 remove operations, not the whole list
135 2002-06-24 0.4.2
136 Fixed:
137 - Cleaned up the hyperdb unit tests.
138 - Applied patch from Andrew W. Nosenko to give nicer Unauthorised message
139 when anonymous user tries to edit. Should've been applied in 0.4.2pr1. Oops.
140 - Added more detailed note to MIGRATION regarding the detectors changes.
143 2002-06-19 0.4.2pr1
144 Feature:
145 - added a "detectors" directory for people to put their useful auditors and
146 reactors in. Note - the roundupdb.IssueClass.sendmessage method has been
147 split and renamed "nosymessage" specifically for things like the nosy
148 reactor, and "send_message" which just sends the message.
149 - link() htmltemplate function now has a "showid" option for links and
150 multilinks. When true, it only displays the linked node id as the anchor
151 text. The link value is displayed as a tooltip using the title anchor
152 attribute.
153 To use in eg. the superseder field, have something like this:
154 <td>
155 <display call="field('superseder', showid=1)">
156 <display call="classhelp('issue', 'id,title', label='list', width=500)">
157 <property name="superseder">
158 <br>View: <display call="link('superseder', showid=1)">
159 </property>
160 </td>
161 - stripping of the email message body can now be controlled through the
162 config variables EMAIL_KEEP_QUOTED_TEXT and EMAIL_LEAVE_BODY_UNCHANGED.
163 - all database files created are now group readable and writable.
164 - added option to automatically add the authors and recipients of messages
165 to the nosy lists with the options ADD_AUTHOR_TO_NOSY (default 'new') and
166 ADD_RECIPIENTS_TO_NOSY (default 'new'). These settings emulate the current
167 behaviour. Setting them to 'yes' will add the author/recipients to the nosy
168 on messages that create issues and followup messages.
169 - reverting to dates for intervals > 2 months sucks
170 - changed the default message list in issues to display the message body
171 - applied patch #558876 ] cgi client customization
172 - split instance initialisation into two steps, allowing config changes
173 before the database is initialised.
174 - don't create an empty message on email issue creation if the email is empty
175 - may now display additional fields in Multilink form menus
176 - #541941 ] changing multilink properties by mail
177 - #526730 ] search for messages capability
178 - #505180 ] split MailGW.handle_Message
179 - also changed cgi client since it was duplicating the functionality
181 Fixed:
182 - stop sending blank (whitespace-only) notes
183 - cleanup of serialisation for database storage
184 - node ids are now generated from a lockable store - no more race conditions
185 - sorting was applied to all nodes of the MultiLink class instead of
186 to the nodes that are actually linked to in the "field" template
187 function. This adds about 20+ seconds in the display of an issue if
188 your database has a 1000 or more issues in it.
189 - added missing documentation for a few of the config option values
190 - file upload broke if you didn't supply a change note
191 - fixed SCRIPT_NAME in ZRoundup for instances not at top level of Zope
192 (thanks dman)
193 - fixed some sorting issues that were breaking some unit tests under py2.2
194 - mailgw test output dir was confusing the init test (but only on 2.2 *shrug*)
195 - node caching now works, and gives a small boost in performance
196 - #449374 ] re-enable bsddb3 backend
197 bsddb3 backend now works, reinstating
198 - #551483 ] assignedto in Client.make_index_link
199 - made backends.__init__ be more specific about which ImportErrors it really
200 wants to ignore
201 - fixed the example addresses in the templates to use correct example domains
202 - cleaned out the template stylesheets, removing a bunch of junk that really
203 wasn't necessary (font specs, styles never used) and added a style for
204 message content
205 - build htmlbase if tests are run using CVS checkout
206 - #565979 ] code error in hyperdb.Class.find
207 - #565996 ] The "Attach a File to this Issue" fails
208 - #564271 ] find() and new properties
209 - #562130 ] cookie path generated from ZRoundup was wrong in some situations
210 - remove CR characters embedded in messages (ZRoundup)
211 - properly quote the email address and "real name" in all situations using the
212 'email' module if it is available and 'rfc822' otherwise
213 - #565992 ] if ISSUE_TRACKER_WEB doesn't have the trailing '/', add it
214 - use the rfc822 module to ensure that every (oddball) email address and
215 real-name is properly quoted
216 - #558867 ] ZRoundup redirect /instance requests to /instance/
217 - #569415 ] {version}
218 - #569178 ] type error
219 was fixed as part of the general cleanup of reactors
222 2002-03-25 - 0.4.1
223 Feature:
224 - use blobfiles in back_anydbm which is used in back_bsddb.
225 change test_db as dirlist does not work for subdirectories.
226 ATTENTION: blobfiles now creates subdirectories for files.
227 - add module blobfiles in backends with file access functions.
228 - roundup db catch only IOError in getfile.
229 - roundup db catches retrieving not existing files.
230 - #503204 ] mailgw needs a default class
231 - partially done - the setting of additional properties can wait for a
232 better configuration system.
233 - Alternate email addresses are now available for users. See the MIGRATION
234 file for info on how to activate the feature.
235 - #511168 ] Web interface: Adding new products
236 Classes that don't provide template html get a default edit interface now:
237 - access using the admin "class list" interface
238 - limited to admin-only
239 - requires the csv module from object-craft (url given if it's missing)
240 - Added popup help for classes using the classhelp html template function.
241 - add <display call="classhelp('priority', 'id,name,description')">
242 to an item page, and it generates a link to a popup window which displays
243 the id, name and description for the priority class. The description
244 field won't exist in most installations, but it will be added to the
245 default templates.
246 - #517734 ] web header customisation is obscure
247 - All messages sent to the nosy list are now encoded as
248 quoted-printable before they are sent.
249 - Fixed display of mutlilink properties when using the template
250 functions, menu and plain.
252 Fixed:
253 - Clean up mail handling, multipart handling.
254 - respect encodings in non multipart messages.
255 - makeHtmlBase: re.sub under python 2.2 did not replace '.', string.replace
256 does it.
257 - preamble in tepmlateBuilder mentioned htmldata
258 - mailgw checks encoding on first part too.
259 - #511586 ] unittest FAIL: testReldate_date
260 - Added a uniquely Roundup header to email, "X-Roundup-Name"
261 - All forms now have "double-submit" protection when Javascript is enabled
262 on the client-side.
263 - #516883 ] mail interface + ANONYMOUS_REGISTER
264 - #516854 ] "My Issues" and redisplay
265 - #517906 ] Attribute order in "View customisation"
266 - #514854 ] History: "User" is always ticket creator
267 - wasn't handling cvs parser feeding correctly
268 - fixed some problems in date calculations (calendar.py doesn't handle over-
269 and under-flow). Also, hour/minute/second intervals may now be more than
270 99 each.
271 - #527416 ] roundup-admin uses undefined value
272 - #527503 ] unfriendly init blowup when parent dir
273 (also handles UsageError correctly now in init)
274 - #524129 ] roundup-admin gets python path wrong
277 2002-01-24 - 0.4.0
278 Feature:
279 - much nicer history display (actualy real handling of property types etc)
280 - journal entries for link and mutlilink properties can be switched on or
281 off
282 - properties in change note are now sorted
283 - you can now use the roundup-admin tool pack the database
285 Fixed:
286 - the mail gateway now responds with an error message when invalid values
287 for arguments are specified for link or mutlilink properties
288 - modified unit test to check nosy and assignedto when specified as arguments
289 - handle attachments with no name (eg tnef)
290 - fixed setting nosy as argument in subject line
291 - fixed back_bsddb so it passed the journal tests
292 - fixed status changes in mail gateway (eg. unread -> chatting)
293 - we'll actually distribute the frontends directory now, as advertised...
294 - handle stripping of "AW:" from subject line
295 - htmltemplate list() wasn't sorting...
296 - unit tests for html templating (and re-enabled the listbox field for
297 multilinks)
298 - allow abbreviation of "help" in admin tool too.
299 - run_tests testReldate_date failed if LANG is 'german'
300 - mailgw failures (unexpected ones) are forwarded to the roundup admin
303 2002-01-16 - 0.4.0b2
304 Fixed:
305 - #495392 ] empty nosy -patch
306 - #500574 ] messageid must have format <part1@part2>
307 - fixed some problems with web editing and change detection
308 - mail splitting wasn't detecting responses in the same "section" as quoted
309 text
310 - missed a "from i18n import _" in date.py
311 - #501690 ] MIGRATION.txt incomplete
312 - #502342 ] pipe interface
313 - #502437 ] rogue reactor and unittest
314 - re-enabled dumbdbm when using python >2.1.1 (ie 2.1.2, 2.2)
315 - changed all config accesses so they access either the instance or the
316 config attriubute on the db. This means that all config is obtained from
317 instance_config instead of the mish-mash of classes. This will make
318 switching to a ConfigParser setup easier too, I hope.
319 - #502951 ] adding new properties to old database
320 - #502953 ] nosy-like treatment of other multilinks
321 - #503164 ] create and passwords
322 - plain rendering of links in the htmltemplate now generate a hyperlink to
323 the linked node's page.
324 - #503330 ] ANONYMOUS_REGISTER now applies to mail
325 - #503353 ] setting properties in initial email
326 - #502956 ] filtering by multilink not supported
327 - #503340 ] creating issue with [asignedto=p.ohly]
328 - #502949 ] index view for non-issues and redisplay
329 - #503793 ] changing assignedto resets nosy list
330 - lots of date/interval related changes:
331 - more relaxed date format for input
332 - handle None for date/interval properties
335 2002-01-08 - 0.4.0b1
336 Feature:
337 - Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
338 the instance.
339 - Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
340 signature info in e-mails.
341 - Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
342 - Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
343 - Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
344 - We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
345 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
346 bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
347 lot more work anyway...
348 - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
349 single transaction
350 - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
351 if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
352 during the session (up to the last commit).
353 - Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
354 - Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
355 (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
356 - Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
357 - Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
358 needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
359 - much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
360 - #496356 ] Use threading in messages
361 This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
362 using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
363 feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
365 Fixed:
366 - Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
367 - login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
368 - Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
369 gateway.
370 - Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
371 on a failure)
372 - We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
373 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
374 - #487480 ] roundup-server
375 - #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
376 - #489760 ] [issue] only subject
377 - fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
378 - fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
379 - web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
380 - we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
381 this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
382 cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
383 - envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
384 delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
385 - #495400 ] entering blanks
386 Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
387 for details.
388 - #496360 ] table width does not work
389 - detectors were being registered multiple times
390 - added tests for mailgw
393 2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
394 Feature:
395 - #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
396 - #473123 ] Change message generation for author
397 - MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
398 - Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
399 - Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
400 - "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
401 - roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
402 - roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
403 - roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
404 - users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
405 - incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
406 e-mail
407 - added a target version field to the extended issue schema
408 - added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
409 translatable messages
411 Fixed:
412 - Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
413 - 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
414 - Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
415 - roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
416 - Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
417 - Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
418 - bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
419 - bug #474749 ] indentations lost
420 - bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
421 - bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
422 - bug #477687 ] conforming html
423 - bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
424 - bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
425 - bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
426 - bug #477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
427 - newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
428 - bug #479511 ] mailgw to pop
429 - bug #479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
430 - bad error report in hyperdb
431 - roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
432 of processing
433 - roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
434 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
435 an error message to the roundup admin.
436 - fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
437 - errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
438 squashed)
439 - re-open the database as the author in mail handling
440 - missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
443 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
444 Feature:
445 - MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
446 - feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
447 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
448 information is displayed.
449 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
450 - Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
451 - Tabular display of nodes.
452 - Import and export via colon-separated files.
454 Changed:
455 - re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
456 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
458 Fixed:
459 - Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
460 - CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
461 - Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
462 - Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
463 - Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
464 - Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
465 - Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
466 - bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
467 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
468 - bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
469 as numbers now.
470 - bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
471 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
472 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
473 - bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
474 - bug #473126: Sender unknown
475 - bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
478 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
479 Fixed:
480 - Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
481 property values. This broke a lot of things.
484 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
485 Feature:
486 - roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
487 on the command-line.
488 - hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
489 properties.
490 - CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
492 Changed:
493 - Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
494 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
495 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
496 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
497 - The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
498 - The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
499 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
500 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
501 - Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
502 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
503 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
504 number of encoding systems.
505 - The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
506 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
507 documentation for details.)
509 Fixed:
510 - Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
511 Ping - has been removed.
512 - Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
513 - Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
514 - AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
515 - Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
516 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
517 - Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
518 an item now throws an exception.
519 - The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
520 - Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
524 --------------
526 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
527 Fixed:
528 - Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
529 - Missing import in mailgw.
532 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
533 Feature:
534 - Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
535 regular expressions now.
537 Fixed:
538 - Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
539 - Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
540 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
541 - Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
542 - Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
543 that the change note message is actually genrated.
544 - CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
545 - Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
546 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
547 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
548 - Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
549 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
550 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
553 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
554 Note:
555 - Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
557 Feature:
558 - Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
559 with bugs in roundup.init!
560 - Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
561 the tests.
562 - Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
564 Fixed:
565 - Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
566 signatures now too.
567 - Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
568 - Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
569 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
570 - Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
571 - Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
572 module name for the instances on import time.
575 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
576 Note:
577 - The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
578 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
580 Fixed:
581 - Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
582 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
585 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
586 Features:
587 - Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
588 should be linked somewhere.
589 - Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
590 - Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
591 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
592 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
593 cleanup the header up.
594 - Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
595 - Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
596 are displayed.
597 - Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
598 rebuild.
599 - Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
600 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
601 - Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
602 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
603 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
604 instructions, etc).
606 Fixed:
607 - Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
608 - Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
609 - Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
610 - Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
611 - 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
612 - mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
613 was creating nodes for.
614 - remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
615 - Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
616 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
617 names.
620 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
621 Big change:
622 - I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
623 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
624 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
625 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
626 code in "extended" either way.
628 Features:
629 - Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
630 we do anything distutils'y.
631 - Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
632 - Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
633 help and better command-line arg handling.
634 - The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
635 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
636 - Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
638 Fixed:
639 - One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
640 - Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
641 hard-coded to "issue".
642 - templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
643 - The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
644 properly.
645 - The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
646 nodeid) properly.
649 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
650 Features:
651 - Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
652 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
653 - Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
654 tests for multipart splitting.
655 - Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
656 - Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
657 - Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
658 - Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
659 - Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
660 behaviour.
661 - Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
662 - Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
663 it).
665 Fixed:
666 - Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
667 - New issue form handles lack of note better now.
668 - HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
669 - Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
670 - Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
671 query elements.
672 - Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
673 changed now.
676 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
677 Features:
678 - Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
679 - Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
680 directory as "overview.html".
682 Fixes:
683 - Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
684 "html" directory in instance home.
685 - Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
686 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
687 There you go...
688 - Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
689 strict about such things.
691 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
692 Features:
693 - Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
694 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
695 back-ends.
696 - Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
697 out-of-the-box
698 - Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
699 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
700 - Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
701 - Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
702 out-of-the-box.
703 - Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
704 - Added some unit tests.
706 Fixes:
707 - Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
708 - Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
709 - Fixed adding new issue with no change note
710 - Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
711 quoted.
712 - Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
713 message.
715 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
716 - Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
717 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
718 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
719 - Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
720 - Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
721 - Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
722 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
723 - Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
724 - Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
725 - Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
726 columns to sort by to 2.
727 - Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
728 ^text - search for text at start of fields
729 text$ - search for text at end of fields
730 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
731 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
732 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
733 - Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
736 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
737 - Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
738 the priority column isn't displayed.
739 - Thanks Anthony:
740 - added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
741 - added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
742 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
743 - python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
744 - better handling of db directory in initDB
745 - Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
746 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
747 properties, etc.
748 - Set the default index to sort on activity
751 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
752 - Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
753 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
755 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
756 - Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
757 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
758 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
759 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
