This file contains the changes to the Roundup system over time. The entries
are given with the most recent entry first.
-2001-08-?? - 0.2.3
+2001-12-?? - 0.4.0b1
+Feature:
+ . Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
+ the instance.
+ . Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
+ signature info in e-mails.
+ . Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
+ . Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
+ . Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
+ . We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
+ the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
+ bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
+ lot more work anyway...
+ - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
+ single transaction
+ - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
+ if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
+ during the session (up to the last commit).
+ . Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
+ . Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
+ (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
+ . Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
+ . Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
+ needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
+ . much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
+ . #496356 ] Use threading in messages
+ This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
+ using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
+ feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
+
+Fixed:
+ . Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
+ . login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
+ . Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
+ gateway.
+ . Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
+ on a failure)
+ . We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
+ the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
+ . #487480 ] roundup-server
+ . #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
+ . #489760 ] [issue] only subject
+ . fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
+ . fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
+ . web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
+ . we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
+ this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
+ cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
+ . envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
+ delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
+ . #495400 ] entering blanks
+ Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
+ for details.
+ . #496360 ] table width does not work
+ . detectors were being registered multiple times
+ . added tests for mailgw
+
+
+2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
+Feature:
+ . #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
+ . #473123 ] Change message generation for author
+ . MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
+ . Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
+ . Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
+ . "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
+ . roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
+ . roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
+ . roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
+ . users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
+ . incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
+ e-mail
+ . added a target version field to the extended issue schema
+ . added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
+ translatable messages
+
+Fixed:
+ . Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
+ . 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
+ . Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
+ . roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
+ . Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
+ . Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
+ . bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
+ . bug #474749 ] indentations lost
+ . bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
+ . bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
+ . bug #477687 ] conforming html
+ . bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
+ . bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
+ . bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
+ . bug #477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
+ . newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
+ . bug #479511 ] mailgw to pop
+ . bug #479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
+ . bad error report in hyperdb
+ . roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
+ of processing
+ . roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
+ contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
+ an error message to the roundup admin.
+ . fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
+ . errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
+ squashed)
+ . re-open the database as the author in mail handling
+ . missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
+
+
+2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
+Feature:
+ . MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
+ . feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
+ source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
+ information is displayed.
+ Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
+ . Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
+ . Tabular display of nodes.
+ . Import and export via colon-separated files.
+
+Changed:
+ . re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
+ introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
+
+Fixed:
+ . Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
+ . CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
+ . Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
+ . Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
+ . Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
+ . Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
+ . Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
+ . bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
+ customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
+ . bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
+ as numbers now.
+ . bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
+ This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
+ that of being able to turn off certain filters.
+ . bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
+ . bug #473126: Sender unknown
+ . bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
+
+
+2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
+Fixed:
+ . Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
+ property values. This broke a lot of things.
+
+
+2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
+Feature:
+ . roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
+ on the command-line.
+ . hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
+ properties.
+ . CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
+
+Changed:
+ . Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
+ now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
+ "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
+ handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
+ . The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
+ . The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
+ login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
+ file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
+ . Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
+ will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
+ at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
+ number of encoding systems.
+ . The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
+ protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
+ documentation for details.)
+
+Fixed:
+ . Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
+ Ping - has been removed.
+ . Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
+ . Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
+ . AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
+ . Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
+ been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
+ . Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
+ an item now throws an exception.
+ . The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
+ . Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
+
+
+
+--------------
+
+2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
+Fixed:
+ . Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
+ . Missing import in mailgw.
+
+
+2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
+Feature:
+ . Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
+ regular expressions now.
+
+Fixed:
+ . Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
+ . Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
+ (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
+ . Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
+ . Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
+ that the change note message is actually genrated.
+ . CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
+ . Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
+ there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
+ there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
+ . Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
+ when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
+ dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
+
+
+2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
+Note:
+ . Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
+
+Feature:
+ . Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
+ with bugs in roundup.init!
+ . Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
+ the tests.
+ . Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
+
+Fixed:
+ . Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
+ signatures now too.
+ . Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
+ . Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
+ win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
+ . Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
+ . Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
+ module name for the instances on import time.
+
+
+2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
+Note:
+ . The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
+ select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
+
+Fixed:
+ . Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
+ checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
+
+
+2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
+Features:
+ . Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
+ should be linked somewhere.
+ . Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
+ . Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
+ Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
+ Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
+ cleanup the header up.
+ . Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
+ . Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
+ are displayed.
+ . Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
+ rebuild.
+ . Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
+ message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
+ . Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
+ include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
+ override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
+ instructions, etc).
+
+Fixed:
+ . Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
+ . Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
+ . Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
+ . Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
+ . 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
+ . mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
+ was creating nodes for.
+ . remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
+ . Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
+ we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
+ names.
+
+
+2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
Big change:
. I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
help and better command-line arg handling.
. The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
+ . Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
Fixed:
. One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
