-=================================================
-SC-Track Roundup 0.6.1 - an issue tracking system
-=================================================
-
-I'm pleased to announce this maintenance release of Roundup. This fix
-introduces Python2.3 compatibility. My thanks to Paul Dubois for
-contributing the csv module compatibility layer.
+I'm proud to release version 1.4.19 of Roundup which introduces some
+minor features and, as usual, fixes some bugs:
+
+Features:
+
+- Xapian indexing improved: Slightly faster and slightly smaller database.
+ Closes issue2550687. Thanks to Olly Betts for the patch. (Bernhard Reiter)
+- PostgreSQL backend minor improvement: database creation less likely to fail
+ for PostgreSQL versions >= 8.1 as the table "postgres" is used by default.
+ Closes issue2550543. Thanks to Kai Storbeck for the patch. (Bernhard Reiter)
+- Allow HTMLRequest.batch to filter on other permissions than "View"
+ (e.g. on the new "Search" permission") by adding a "permission"
+ parameter. Thanks to Eli Collins for the patch. Closes issue2550699. (Ralf)
+
+Fixed:
+
+- Installation: Fixed an issue that prevented to use EasyInstall
+ and a Python egg. Thanks to Satchidanand Haridas for the patch and
+ John Kristensen for testing it. (Bernhard Reiter)
+- The PostgreSQL backend quotes database names now for CREATE and DROP,
+ enabling more exotic tracker names. Closes issue2550497.
+ Thanks to Sebastian Harl for providing the patch. (Bernhard Reiter)
+- Updated the url to point to www.roundup-tracker.org in two places in the
+ docs. (Bernhard Reiter)
+- Do not depend on a CPython implementation detail anymore to make Roundup
+ more compatible with other Python implementations like PyPy.
+ Closes issue2550707. Thanks to Christof Meerwald. (Bernhard Reiter, Richard)
+- Yet another fix to the mail gateway, messages got *all* files of
+ an issue, not just the new ones. Thanks to Rafal Bisingier for
+ reporting and proposing a fix. The regression test was updated.
+ (Ralf)
+- Fix version numbers in upgrade documentation, the file-unlink defect
+ was in 1.4.17 not 1.4.16. Thanks to Rafal Bisingier. (Ralf)
+- Fix encoded email header parsing if multiple encoded and non-encoded
+ parts are present. RFC2047 specifies that spacing is removed only
+ between encoded parts, we always removed the space. Note that this bug
+ was present before mail gateway refactoring :-) Thanks for thorough
+ testing of mail gateway code by Rafal Bisingier. (Ralf)
+- The "Retire" permission was not being registered. (Richard)
+- Fix StringIO issue2550713: io.StringIO in newer versions of python
+ returns unicode strings and expects a unicode string in the
+ constructor. Unfortunately csv doesn't handle unicode (yet). So we
+ need to use a BytesIO which gets the utf-8 string from the
+ web-interface. Compatibility for old versions by using
+ StringIO.StringIO for emulating a io.BytesIO also works.
+ Thanks to Cedric Krier for reporting. Closes issue2550713.
+ Added a regression test for EditCSVAction (Ralf)
+- Fix issue2550691 where a Unix From-Header was sometimes inserted in
+ outgoing emails, thanks to Joseph Myers for the patch. (Ralf)
