73 - gadfly backend now handles changes to the schema - but only one property

75 - cgi.client base URL is now obtained from the config TRACKER_WEB
76 - request.url has gone away - there's too much magic in trying to figure
77 what it should be
78 - cgi-bin script redirects to https now if the request was https
79 - FileClass "content" property wasn't being returned by getprops() in most
80 backends
81 - we now verify instance attributes on instance open and throw a useful error
82 if they're not all there
83 - sf 611217 ] menu() has problems when labelprop==None
84 - verify contents of tracker module when the tracker is opened
85 - many performance improvements in *dbm and sql backends

100 - handle stupid mailers that QUOTE their Re; 'Re: "[issue1] bla blah"'
101 - giving a user a Role that doesn't exist doesn't break stuff any more
102 - revamped user guide, customisation guide, added maintenance guide
103 - merge Zope Collector #538 fix from ZPT CVS trunk (path expressions with a
104 non-path final alternate no longer try to call a value returned by that
105 alternate)
106 - merge Zope Collector #573 fix from ZPT CVS trunk
107 - merge Zope Collector #580 fix from ZPT CVS trunk

129 Fixed:
130 - #576086 ] dumb copying mistake (frontends/ZRoundup.py)
131 - installation instructions now mention "python2" in "testing your python".
132 - made the unit tests run again - they were quite b0rken

135 - fixed the date module so that Date(". - 2d") works
136 - web forms may now unset Link values (like assignedto)
137 - cleanup: moved roundup.templatebuilder to roundup.templates.builder
138 - instance __init__ no longer silently traps dbinit import errors
140 Feature:
141 - new backend for metakit (thanks Gordon McMillan)
142 - new backend for gadfly (it's as done as it's going to get)
143 - further split the dbm backends from the core code, allowing easier
144 non-dict-like backends (eg metakit, RDB)
145 - implemented and used the new access control mechanisms (Permissions, Roles)
146 (see doc/security.txt)
147 - switched templating to use Zope's PageTemplates (yay!)
148 - switched to sessions for web authentication
149 - added Boolean and Number types
150 - fixed the journal bloat
151 - updated design document for new access controls
152 - updated customisation document, including more examples
153 - entire database export and import (incl files)
154 - better mailgw help message (feature request #558562)
155 - re-enabled link backrefs from messages (feature request #568714)
156 - the page layout is now templatable
157 - re-worked cgi interface to abstract out the explicit "issue" interface
158 - have index page handle mid-page errors better so header and footer are
159 still visible
160 - we handle "not found", access and item page render errors better
161 - fixed double-submit by having new-item-submit redirect at end
162 - daemonify roundup-server (fork, logfile, pidfile)
163 - modify cgitb to display PageTemplate errors better
164 - rename to "instance" to "tracker"
165 - have roundup.cgi pick up tracker config from the environment
166 - revamped look and feel in web interface
167 - cleaned up stylesheet usage
168 - several bug fixes and documentation fixes
169 - added is_retired test to hyperdb.Class
170 - added capability to save queries:
171 - a query Class with name, klass (to search) and url (query string)
172 properties
173 - a Multilink to query on user called queries
174 - html templates for query, and a list of queries in user.item
175 - search form has Save button & name input
176 - saved queries put in menu in pagehead
177 - for migration, none of the above is required and old behavior preserved.
178 - showquery translates search form <-> query string
179 - cleaned up the indexer code:
180 - it splits more words out
181 - removed code we'll never use (roundup.roundup_indexer has the full
182 implementation, and replaces roundup.indexer)
183 - only index text/plain and rfc822/message (ideas for other text formats to
184 index are welcome)
185 - added simple unit test for indexer. Needs more tests for regression.
186 - all String properties may now be indexed too. Currently there's a bit of
187 "issue" specific code in the actual searching which needs to be
188 addressed. In a nutshell:
189 + pass 'indexme="yes"' as a String() property initialisation arg, eg:
190 file = FileClass(db, "file", name=String(), type=String(),
191 comment=String(indexme="yes"))
192 + the comment will then be indexed and be searchable, with the results
193 related back to the issue that the file is linked to
194 - as a result of this work, the FileClass has a default MIME type that may
195 be overridden in a subclass, or by the use of a "type" property as is
196 done in the default templates.
197 - the regeneration of the indexes (if necessary) is done once the schema is
198 set up in the dbinit.
199 - new "reindex" command in roundup-admin used to force regeneration of the
200 index
201 - added email display function - mangles email addrs so they're not so easily
202 scraped from the web
203 - switched to using a session-based web login
204 - made mailgw handle set and modify operations on multilinks (bug #579094)
205 - fixed the journal bloat from multilink changes - we just log the add or
206 remove operations, not the whole list
209 2002-06-24 0.4.2
210 Fixed:
211 - Cleaned up the hyperdb unit tests.
212 - Applied patch from Andrew W. Nosenko to give nicer Unauthorised message
213 when anonymous user tries to edit. Should've been applied in 0.4.2pr1. Oops.
214 - Added more detailed note to MIGRATION regarding the detectors changes.
217 2002-06-19 0.4.2pr1
218 Feature:
219 - added a "detectors" directory for people to put their useful auditors and
220 reactors in. Note - the roundupdb.IssueClass.sendmessage method has been
221 split and renamed "nosymessage" specifically for things like the nosy
222 reactor, and "send_message" which just sends the message.
223 - link() htmltemplate function now has a "showid" option for links and
224 multilinks. When true, it only displays the linked node id as the anchor
225 text. The link value is displayed as a tooltip using the title anchor
226 attribute.
227 To use in eg. the superseder field, have something like this:
228 <td>
229 <display call="field('superseder', showid=1)">
230 <display call="classhelp('issue', 'id,title', label='list', width=500)">
231 <property name="superseder">
232 <br>View: <display call="link('superseder', showid=1)">
233 </property>
234 </td>
235 - stripping of the email message body can now be controlled through the
236 config variables EMAIL_KEEP_QUOTED_TEXT and EMAIL_LEAVE_BODY_UNCHANGED.
237 - all database files created are now group readable and writable.
238 - added option to automatically add the authors and recipients of messages
239 to the nosy lists with the options ADD_AUTHOR_TO_NOSY (default 'new') and
240 ADD_RECIPIENTS_TO_NOSY (default 'new'). These settings emulate the current
241 behaviour. Setting them to 'yes' will add the author/recipients to the nosy
242 on messages that create issues and followup messages.
243 - reverting to dates for intervals > 2 months sucks
244 - changed the default message list in issues to display the message body
245 - applied patch #558876 ] cgi client customization
246 - split instance initialisation into two steps, allowing config changes
247 before the database is initialised.
248 - don't create an empty message on email issue creation if the email is empty
249 - may now display additional fields in Multilink form menus
250 - #541941 ] changing multilink properties by mail
251 - #526730 ] search for messages capability
252 - #505180 ] split MailGW.handle_Message
253 - also changed cgi client since it was duplicating the functionality
255 Fixed:
256 - stop sending blank (whitespace-only) notes
257 - cleanup of serialisation for database storage
258 - node ids are now generated from a lockable store - no more race conditions
259 - sorting was applied to all nodes of the MultiLink class instead of
260 to the nodes that are actually linked to in the "field" template
261 function. This adds about 20+ seconds in the display of an issue if
262 your database has a 1000 or more issues in it.
263 - added missing documentation for a few of the config option values
264 - file upload broke if you didn't supply a change note
265 - fixed SCRIPT_NAME in ZRoundup for instances not at top level of Zope
266 (thanks dman)
267 - fixed some sorting issues that were breaking some unit tests under py2.2
268 - mailgw test output dir was confusing the init test (but only on 2.2 *shrug*)
269 - node caching now works, and gives a small boost in performance
270 - #449374 ] re-enable bsddb3 backend
271 bsddb3 backend now works, reinstating
272 - #551483 ] assignedto in Client.make_index_link
273 - made backends.__init__ be more specific about which ImportErrors it really
274 wants to ignore
275 - fixed the example addresses in the templates to use correct example domains
276 - cleaned out the template stylesheets, removing a bunch of junk that really
277 wasn't necessary (font specs, styles never used) and added a style for
278 message content
279 - build htmlbase if tests are run using CVS checkout
280 - #565979 ] code error in hyperdb.Class.find
281 - #565996 ] The "Attach a File to this Issue" fails
282 - #564271 ] find() and new properties
283 - #562130 ] cookie path generated from ZRoundup was wrong in some situations
284 - remove CR characters embedded in messages (ZRoundup)
285 - properly quote the email address and "real name" in all situations using the
286 'email' module if it is available and 'rfc822' otherwise
287 - #565992 ] if ISSUE_TRACKER_WEB doesn't have the trailing '/', add it
288 - use the rfc822 module to ensure that every (oddball) email address and
289 real-name is properly quoted
290 - #558867 ] ZRoundup redirect /instance requests to /instance/
291 - #569415 ] {version}
292 - #569178 ] type error
293 was fixed as part of the general cleanup of reactors
296 2002-03-25 - 0.4.1
297 Feature:
298 - use blobfiles in back_anydbm which is used in back_bsddb.
299 change test_db as dirlist does not work for subdirectories.
300 ATTENTION: blobfiles now creates subdirectories for files.
301 - add module blobfiles in backends with file access functions.
302 - roundup db catch only IOError in getfile.
303 - roundup db catches retrieving not existing files.
304 - #503204 ] mailgw needs a default class
305 - partially done - the setting of additional properties can wait for a
306 better configuration system.
307 - Alternate email addresses are now available for users. See the MIGRATION
308 file for info on how to activate the feature.
309 - #511168 ] Web interface: Adding new products
310 Classes that don't provide template html get a default edit interface now:
311 - access using the admin "class list" interface
312 - limited to admin-only
313 - requires the csv module from object-craft (url given if it's missing)
314 - Added popup help for classes using the classhelp html template function.
315 - add <display call="classhelp('priority', 'id,name,description')">
316 to an item page, and it generates a link to a popup window which displays
317 the id, name and description for the priority class. The description
318 field won't exist in most installations, but it will be added to the
319 default templates.
320 - #517734 ] web header customisation is obscure
321 - All messages sent to the nosy list are now encoded as
322 quoted-printable before they are sent.
323 - Fixed display of mutlilink properties when using the template
324 functions, menu and plain.
326 Fixed:
327 - Clean up mail handling, multipart handling.
328 - respect encodings in non multipart messages.
329 - makeHtmlBase: re.sub under python 2.2 did not replace '.', string.replace
330 does it.
331 - preamble in tepmlateBuilder mentioned htmldata
332 - mailgw checks encoding on first part too.
333 - #511586 ] unittest FAIL: testReldate_date
334 - Added a uniquely Roundup header to email, "X-Roundup-Name"
335 - All forms now have "double-submit" protection when Javascript is enabled
336 on the client-side.
337 - #516883 ] mail interface + ANONYMOUS_REGISTER
338 - #516854 ] "My Issues" and redisplay
339 - #517906 ] Attribute order in "View customisation"
340 - #514854 ] History: "User" is always ticket creator
341 - wasn't handling cvs parser feeding correctly
342 - fixed some problems in date calculations (calendar.py doesn't handle over-
343 and under-flow). Also, hour/minute/second intervals may now be more than
344 99 each.
345 - #527416 ] roundup-admin uses undefined value
346 - #527503 ] unfriendly init blowup when parent dir
347 (also handles UsageError correctly now in init)
348 - #524129 ] roundup-admin gets python path wrong
351 2002-01-24 - 0.4.0
352 Feature:
353 - much nicer history display (actualy real handling of property types etc)
354 - journal entries for link and mutlilink properties can be switched on or
355 off
356 - properties in change note are now sorted
357 - you can now use the roundup-admin tool pack the database
359 Fixed:
360 - the mail gateway now responds with an error message when invalid values
361 for arguments are specified for link or mutlilink properties
362 - modified unit test to check nosy and assignedto when specified as arguments
363 - handle attachments with no name (eg tnef)
364 - fixed setting nosy as argument in subject line
365 - fixed back_bsddb so it passed the journal tests
366 - fixed status changes in mail gateway (eg. unread -> chatting)
367 - we'll actually distribute the frontends directory now, as advertised...
368 - handle stripping of "AW:" from subject line
369 - htmltemplate list() wasn't sorting...
370 - unit tests for html templating (and re-enabled the listbox field for
371 multilinks)
372 - allow abbreviation of "help" in admin tool too.
373 - run_tests testReldate_date failed if LANG is 'german'
374 - mailgw failures (unexpected ones) are forwarded to the roundup admin
377 2002-01-16 - 0.4.0b2
378 Fixed:
379 - #495392 ] empty nosy -patch
380 - #500574 ] messageid must have format <part1@part2>
381 - fixed some problems with web editing and change detection
382 - mail splitting wasn't detecting responses in the same "section" as quoted
383 text
384 - missed a "from i18n import _" in date.py
385 - #501690 ] MIGRATION.txt incomplete
386 - #502342 ] pipe interface
387 - #502437 ] rogue reactor and unittest
388 - re-enabled dumbdbm when using python >2.1.1 (ie 2.1.2, 2.2)
389 - changed all config accesses so they access either the instance or the
390 config attriubute on the db. This means that all config is obtained from
391 instance_config instead of the mish-mash of classes. This will make
392 switching to a ConfigParser setup easier too, I hope.
393 - #502951 ] adding new properties to old database
394 - #502953 ] nosy-like treatment of other multilinks
395 - #503164 ] create and passwords
396 - plain rendering of links in the htmltemplate now generate a hyperlink to
397 the linked node's page.
398 - #503330 ] ANONYMOUS_REGISTER now applies to mail
399 - #503353 ] setting properties in initial email
400 - #502956 ] filtering by multilink not supported
401 - #503340 ] creating issue with [asignedto=p.ohly]
402 - #502949 ] index view for non-issues and redisplay
403 - #503793 ] changing assignedto resets nosy list
404 - lots of date/interval related changes:
405 - more relaxed date format for input
406 - handle None for date/interval properties
409 2002-01-08 - 0.4.0b1
410 Feature:
411 - Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
412 the instance.
413 - Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
414 signature info in e-mails.
415 - Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
416 - Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
417 - Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
418 - We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
419 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
420 bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
421 lot more work anyway...
422 - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
423 single transaction
424 - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
425 if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
426 during the session (up to the last commit).
427 - Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
428 - Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
429 (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
430 - Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
431 - Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
432 needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
433 - much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
434 - #496356 ] Use threading in messages
435 This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
436 using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
437 feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
439 Fixed:
440 - Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
441 - login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
442 - Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
443 gateway.
444 - Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
445 on a failure)
446 - We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
447 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
448 - #487480 ] roundup-server
449 - #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
450 - #489760 ] [issue] only subject
451 - fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
452 - fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
453 - web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
454 - we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
455 this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
456 cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
457 - envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
458 delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
459 - #495400 ] entering blanks
460 Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help

487 - 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
488 - Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
489 - roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
490 - Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
491 - Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.

506 of processing
507 - roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't

510 - fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
511 - errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
512 squashed)

517 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
518 Feature:
519 - MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
520 - feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
521 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
522 information is displayed.
523 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
524 - Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
525 - Tabular display of nodes.
526 - Import and export via colon-separated files.
528 Changed:
529 - re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
530 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
532 Fixed:
533 - Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
534 - CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
535 - Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
536 - Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
537 - Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.

541 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
542 - bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
543 as numbers now.
544 - bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
545 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
546 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
547 - bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
548 - bug #473126: Sender unknown
549 - bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
552 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
553 Fixed:
554 - Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
555 property values. This broke a lot of things.
558 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
559 Feature:
560 - roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
561 on the command-line.
562 - hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
563 properties.
564 - CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
566 Changed:
567 - Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
568 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
569 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
570 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
571 - The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
572 - The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
573 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
574 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
575 - Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
576 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
577 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
578 number of encoding systems.
579 - The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
580 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
581 documentation for details.)
583 Fixed:
584 - Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
585 Ping - has been removed.
586 - Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
587 - Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
588 - AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
589 - Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
590 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
591 - Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
592 an item now throws an exception.
593 - The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
594 - Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
598 --------------
600 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
601 Fixed:
602 - Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
603 - Missing import in mailgw.
606 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
607 Feature:
608 - Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
609 regular expressions now.
611 Fixed:
612 - Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
613 - Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
614 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
615 - Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
616 - Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
617 that the change note message is actually genrated.
618 - CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
619 - Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
620 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
621 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
622 - Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
623 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
624 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
627 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
628 Note:
629 - Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
631 Feature:
632 - Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
633 with bugs in roundup.init!
634 - Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
635 the tests.
636 - Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
638 Fixed:
639 - Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
640 signatures now too.
641 - Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
642 - Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
643 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
644 - Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
645 - Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
646 module name for the instances on import time.
649 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
650 Note:
651 - The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
652 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
654 Fixed:
655 - Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
656 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
659 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
660 Features:
661 - Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
662 should be linked somewhere.
663 - Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
664 - Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
665 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
666 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
667 cleanup the header up.
668 - Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
669 - Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
670 are displayed.
671 - Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
672 rebuild.
673 - Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
674 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
675 - Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
676 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
677 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
678 instructions, etc).
680 Fixed:
681 - Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
682 - Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
683 - Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
684 - Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
685 - 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
686 - mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
687 was creating nodes for.
688 - remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
689 - Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
690 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
691 names.
694 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
695 Big change:
696 - I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
697 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
698 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
699 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
700 code in "extended" either way.
702 Features:
703 - Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
704 we do anything distutils'y.
705 - Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
706 - Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
707 help and better command-line arg handling.
708 - The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
709 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
710 - Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
712 Fixed:
713 - One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
714 - Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
715 hard-coded to "issue".
716 - templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
717 - The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
718 properly.
719 - The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
720 nodeid) properly.
723 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
724 Features:
725 - Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
726 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
727 - Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
728 tests for multipart splitting.
729 - Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
730 - Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
731 - Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
732 - Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
733 - Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
734 behaviour.
735 - Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
736 - Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
737 it).
739 Fixed:
740 - Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
741 - New issue form handles lack of note better now.
742 - HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
743 - Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
744 - Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
745 query elements.
746 - Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
747 changed now.
750 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
751 Features:
752 - Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
753 - Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
754 directory as "overview.html".
756 Fixes:
757 - Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
758 "html" directory in instance home.
759 - Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
760 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
761 There you go...
762 - Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
763 strict about such things.
765 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
766 Features:
767 - Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
768 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
769 back-ends.
770 - Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
771 out-of-the-box
772 - Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
773 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
774 - Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
775 - Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
776 out-of-the-box.
777 - Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
778 - Added some unit tests.
780 Fixes:
781 - Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
782 - Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
783 - Fixed adding new issue with no change note
784 - Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
785 quoted.
786 - Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
787 message.
789 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
790 - Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
791 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
792 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
793 - Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
794 - Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
795 - Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
796 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
797 - Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
798 - Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
799 - Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
800 columns to sort by to 2.
801 - Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
802 ^text - search for text at start of fields
803 text$ - search for text at end of fields
804 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
805 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
806 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
807 - Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
810 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
811 - Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
812 the priority column isn't displayed.
813 - Thanks Anthony:
814 - added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
815 - added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
816 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
817 - python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
818 - better handling of db directory in initDB
819 - Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
820 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
821 properties, etc.
822 - Set the default index to sort on activity
825 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
826 - Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
827 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
829 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
830 - Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
831 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
832 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
833 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
