This file contains the changes to the Roundup system over time. The entries
are given with the most recent entry first.
-2002-04-?? 0.4.2
+2002-09-13 0.5.0 beta2
+ . all backends now have a .close() method, and it's used everywhere
+ . fixed bug in detectors __init__
+ . switched the default issue item display to only show issue summary
+ (added instructions to doc to make it display entire content)
+ . MANIFEST.in was missing a lot of template files
+ . added generic item editing
+ . much nicer layout of template rendering errors
+ . added context/is_edit_ok and context/is_view_ok convenience methods and
+ implemented use of them in the classic template
+
+
+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
+ implementation, and replaces roundup.indexer)
+ - only index text/plain and rfc822/message (ideas for other text formats to
+ index are welcome)
+ - added simple unit test for indexer. Needs more tests for regression.
+ - all String properties may now be indexed too. Currently there's a bit of
+ "issue" specific code in the actual searching which needs to be
+ addressed. In a nutshell:
+ + pass 'indexme="yes"' as a String() property initialisation arg, eg:
+ file = FileClass(db, "file", name=String(), type=String(),
+ comment=String(indexme="yes"))
+ + the comment will then be indexed and be searchable, with the results
+ related back to the issue that the file is linked to
+ - as a result of this work, the FileClass has a default MIME type that may
+ be overridden in a subclass, or by the use of a "type" property as is
+ done in the default templates.
+ - the regeneration of the indexes (if necessary) is done once the schema is
+ set up in the dbinit.
+ - new "reindex" command in roundup-admin used to force regeneration of the
+ index
+ . added email display function - mangles email addrs so they're not so easily
+ scraped from the web
+ . 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
+
+
+2002-06-24 0.4.2
+Fixed:
+ . Cleaned up the hyperdb unit tests.
+ . Applied patch from Andrew W. Nosenko to give nicer Unauthorised message
+ when anonymous user tries to edit. Should've been applied in 0.4.2pr1. Oops.
+ . Added more detailed note to MIGRATION regarding the detectors changes.
+
+
+2002-06-19 0.4.2pr1
Feature:
. added a "detectors" directory for people to put their useful auditors and
reactors in. Note - the roundupdb.IssueClass.sendmessage method has been
ADD_RECIPIENTS_TO_NOSY (default 'new'). These settings emulate the current
behaviour. Setting them to 'yes' will add the author/recipients to the nosy
on messages that create issues and followup messages.
+ . reverting to dates for intervals > 2 months sucks
+ . changed the default message list in issues to display the message body
+ . applied patch #558876 ] cgi client customization
+ . split instance initialisation into two steps, allowing config changes
+ before the database is initialised.
+ . don't create an empty message on email issue creation if the email is empty
+ . may now display additional fields in Multilink form menus
+ . #541941 ] changing multilink properties by mail
+ . #526730 ] search for messages capability
+ . #505180 ] split MailGW.handle_Message
+ - also changed cgi client since it was duplicating the functionality
Fixed:
. stop sending blank (whitespace-only) notes
(thanks dman)
. fixed some sorting issues that were breaking some unit tests under py2.2
. mailgw test output dir was confusing the init test (but only on 2.2 *shrug*)
+ . node caching now works, and gives a small boost in performance
+ . #449374 ] re-enable bsddb3 backend
+ bsddb3 backend now works, reinstating
+ . #551483 ] assignedto in Client.make_index_link
+ . made backends.__init__ be more specific about which ImportErrors it really
+ wants to ignore
+ . fixed the example addresses in the templates to use correct example domains
+ . cleaned out the template stylesheets, removing a bunch of junk that really
+ wasn't necessary (font specs, styles never used) and added a style for
+ message content
+ . build htmlbase if tests are run using CVS checkout
+ . #565979 ] code error in hyperdb.Class.find
+ . #565996 ] The "Attach a File to this Issue" fails
+ . #564271 ] find() and new properties
+ . #562130 ] cookie path generated from ZRoundup was wrong in some situations
+ . remove CR characters embedded in messages (ZRoundup)
+ . properly quote the email address and "real name" in all situations using the
+ 'email' module if it is available and 'rfc822' otherwise
+ . #565992 ] if ISSUE_TRACKER_WEB doesn't have the trailing '/', add it
+ . use the rfc822 module to ensure that every (oddball) email address and
+ real-name is properly quoted
+ . #558867 ] ZRoundup redirect /instance requests to /instance/
+ . #569415 ] {version}
+ . #569178 ] type error
+ was fixed as part of the general cleanup of reactors
