+2002-09-11 0.5.0 beta1
Fixed:
. #576086 ] dumb copying mistake (frontends/ZRoundup.py)
. installation instructions now mention "python2" in "testing your python".
. made the unit tests run again - they were quite b0rken
. #571170 ] gdbm deadlock
+ . #576241 ] MultiLink problems in parsePropsFromForm
+ . fixed the date module so that Date(". - 2d") works
+ . web forms may now unset Link values (like assignedto)
+ . cleanup: moved roundup.templatebuilder to roundup.templates.builder
+ . instance __init__ no longer silently traps dbinit import errors
Feature:
+ . new backend for metakit (thanks Gordon McMillan)
+ . new backend for gadfly (it's as done as it's going to get)
+ . further split the dbm backends from the core code, allowing easier
+ non-dict-like backends (eg metakit, RDB)
+ . implemented and used the new access control mechanisms (Permissions, Roles)
+ (see doc/security.txt)
+ . switched templating to use Zope's PageTemplates (yay!)
+ . switched to sessions for web authentication
+ . added Boolean and Number types
+ . fixed the journal bloat
+ . updated design document for new access controls
+ . updated customisation document, including more examples
+ . entire database export and import (incl files)
+ . better mailgw help message (feature request #558562)
+ . re-enabled link backrefs from messages (feature request #568714)
+ . the page layout is now templatable
+ . re-worked cgi interface to abstract out the explicit "issue" interface
+ . have index page handle mid-page errors better so header and footer are
+ still visible
+ . we handle "not found", access and item page render errors better
+ . fixed double-submit by having new-item-submit redirect at end
+ . daemonify roundup-server (fork, logfile, pidfile)
+ . modify cgitb to display PageTemplate errors better
+ . rename to "instance" to "tracker"
+ . have roundup.cgi pick up tracker config from the environment
+ . revamped look and feel in web interface
+ . cleaned up stylesheet usage
+ . several bug fixes and documentation fixes
+ . added is_retired test to hyperdb.Class
+ . added capability to save queries:
+ - a query Class with name, klass (to search) and url (query string)
+ properties
+ - a Multilink to query on user called queries
+ - html templates for query, and a list of queries in user.item
+ - search form has Save button & name input
+ - saved queries put in menu in pagehead
+ - for migration, none of the above is required and old behavior preserved.
+ - showquery translates search form <-> query string
. cleaned up the indexer code:
- it splits more words out
- removed code we'll never use (roundup.roundup_indexer has the full
index
. added email display function - mangles email addrs so they're not so easily
scraped from the web
- . added sorting of checklist HTML display
. switched to using a session-based web login
+ . made mailgw handle set and modify operations on multilinks (bug #579094)
+ . fixed the journal bloat from multilink changes - we just log the add or
+ remove operations, not the whole list
