 This file contains the changes to the Roundup system over time. The entries
 are given with the most recent entry first.
 
-2002-01-?? - 0.4.0b2
+2002-04-?? 0.4.2
+Feature:
+ . added a "detectors" directory for people to put their useful auditors and
+   reactors in. Note - the roundupdb.IssueClass.sendmessage method has been
+   split and renamed "nosymessage" specifically for things like the nosy
+   reactor, and "send_message" which just sends the message.
+ . link() htmltemplate function now has a "showid" option for links and
+   multilinks. When true, it only displays the linked node id as the anchor
+   text. The link value is displayed as a tooltip using the title anchor
+   attribute.
+   To use in eg. the superseder field, have something like this:
+   <td>
+    <display call="field('superseder', showid=1)">
+    <display call="classhelp('issue', 'id,title', label='list', width=500)">
+    <property name="superseder">
+     <br>View: <display call="link('superseder', showid=1)">
+    </property>
+   </td>
+ . stripping of the email message body can now be controlled through the
+   config variables EMAIL_KEEP_QUOTED_TEXT and EMAIL_LEAVE_BODY_UNCHANGED.
+ . all database files created are now group readable and writable.
+ . added option to automatically add the authors and recipients of messages
+   to the nosy lists with the options ADD_AUTHOR_TO_NOSY (default 'new') and
+   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
+ . #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
+ . cleanup of serialisation for database storage
+ . node ids are now generated from a lockable store - no more race conditions
+ . sorting was applied to all nodes of the MultiLink class instead of
+   to the nodes that are actually linked to in the "field" template
+   function.  This adds about 20+ seconds in the display of an issue if
+   your database has a 1000 or more issues in it.
+ . added missing documentation for a few of the config option values
+ . file upload broke if you didn't supply a change note
+ . fixed SCRIPT_NAME in ZRoundup for instances not at top level of Zope
+   (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
+
+2002-03-25 - 0.4.1
+Feature:
+ . use blobfiles in back_anydbm which is used in back_bsddb.
+   change test_db as dirlist does not work for subdirectories.
+   ATTENTION: blobfiles now creates subdirectories for files.
+ . add module blobfiles in backends with file access functions.
+ . roundup db catch only IOError in getfile.
+ . roundup db catches retrieving not existing files.
+ . #503204 ] mailgw needs a default class
+   - partially done - the setting of additional properties can wait for a
+     better configuration system.
+ . Alternate email addresses are now available for users. See the MIGRATION
+   file for info on how to activate the feature.
+ . #511168 ] Web interface: Adding new products
+   Classes that don't provide template html get a default edit interface now:
+   - access using the admin "class list" interface
+   - limited to admin-only
+   - requires the csv module from object-craft (url given if it's missing)
+ . Added popup help for classes using the classhelp html template function.
+   - add <display call="classhelp('priority', 'id,name,description')">
+     to an item page, and it generates a link to a popup window which displays
+     the id, name and description for the priority class. The description
+     field won't exist in most installations, but it will be added to the
+     default templates.
+ . #517734 ] web header customisation is obscure
+ . All messages sent to the nosy list are now encoded as
+   quoted-printable before they are sent.
+ . Fixed display of mutlilink properties when using the template
+   functions, menu and plain.
+
+Fixed:
+ . Clean up mail handling, multipart handling.
+ . respect encodings in non multipart messages.
+ . makeHtmlBase: re.sub under python 2.2 did not replace '.', string.replace
+   does it.
+ . preamble in tepmlateBuilder mentioned htmldata
+ . mailgw checks encoding on first part too.
+ . #511586 ] unittest FAIL: testReldate_date
+ . Added a uniquely Roundup header to email, "X-Roundup-Name"
+ . All forms now have "double-submit" protection when Javascript is enabled
+   on the client-side.
+ . #516883 ] mail interface + ANONYMOUS_REGISTER
+ . #516854 ] "My Issues" and redisplay
+ . #517906 ] Attribute order in "View customisation"
+ . #514854 ] History: "User" is always ticket creator
+ . wasn't handling cvs parser feeding correctly
+ . fixed some problems in date calculations (calendar.py doesn't handle over-
+   and under-flow). Also, hour/minute/second intervals may now be more than
+   99 each.
+ . #527416 ] roundup-admin uses undefined value
+ . #527503 ] unfriendly init blowup when parent dir
+   (also handles UsageError correctly now in init)
+ . #524129 ] roundup-admin gets python path wrong
+
+
+2002-01-24 - 0.4.0
+Feature:
+ . much nicer history display (actualy real handling of property types etc)
+ . journal entries for link and mutlilink properties can be switched on or 
+   off
+ . properties in change note are now sorted
+ . you can now use the roundup-admin tool pack the database
+
+Fixed:
+ . the mail gateway now responds with an error message when invalid values 
+   for arguments are specified for link or mutlilink properties
+ . modified unit test to check nosy and assignedto when specified as arguments
+ . handle attachments with no name (eg tnef)
+ . fixed setting nosy as argument in subject line
+ . fixed back_bsddb so it passed the journal tests
+ . fixed status changes in mail gateway (eg. unread -> chatting)
+ . we'll actually distribute the frontends directory now, as advertised...
+ . handle stripping of "AW:" from subject line
+ . htmltemplate list() wasn't sorting...
+ . unit tests for html templating (and re-enabled the listbox field for
+   multilinks)
+ . allow abbreviation of "help" in admin tool too.
+ . run_tests testReldate_date failed if LANG is 'german'
+ . mailgw failures (unexpected ones) are forwarded to the roundup admin
+
+
+2002-01-16 - 0.4.0b2
 Fixed:
  . #495392 ] empty nosy -patch
  . #500574 ] messageid must have format <part1@part2>
  . fixed some problems with web editing and change detection
  . mail splitting wasn't detecting responses in the same "section" as quoted
    text
+ . missed a "from i18n import _" in date.py
+ . #501690 ] MIGRATION.txt incomplete
+ . #502342 ] pipe interface
+ . #502437 ] rogue reactor and unittest
+ . re-enabled dumbdbm when using python >2.1.1 (ie 2.1.2, 2.2)
+ . changed all config accesses so they access either the instance or the
+   config attriubute on the db. This means that all config is obtained from
+   instance_config instead of the mish-mash of classes. This will make
+   switching to a ConfigParser setup easier too, I hope.
+ . #502951 ] adding new properties to old database
+ . #502953 ] nosy-like treatment of other multilinks
+ . #503164 ] create and passwords
+ . plain rendering of links in the htmltemplate now generate a hyperlink to
+   the linked node's page.
+ . #503330 ] ANONYMOUS_REGISTER now applies to mail
+ . #503353 ] setting properties in initial email
+ . #502956 ] filtering by multilink not supported
+ . #503340 ] creating issue with [asignedto=p.ohly]
+ . #502949 ] index view for non-issues and redisplay
+ . #503793 ] changing assignedto resets nosy list
+ . lots of date/interval related changes:
+   - more relaxed date format for input
+   - handle None for date/interval properties
