+I'm proud to release version 1.4.19 of Roundup which introduces some
minor features and, as usual, fixes some bugs:
Features:
-- allow trackers to override the classes used to render properties in
- templating per issue2550659 (thanks Ezio Melotti)
-- new mailgw configuration item "subject_updates_title": If set to "no"
- a changed subject in a reply to an issue will not update the issue
- title with the changed subject. Thanks to Arkadiusz Kita and Peter
- Funk for requesting the feature and discussing the implementation.
- http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.bug-tracking.roundup.user/10169
-- new rdbms config item sqlite_timeout makes the previously hard-coded
- timeout of 30 seconds configurable. This is the time a client waits
- for the locked database to become free before giving up. Used only for
- SQLite backend.
-- new mailgw config item unpack_rfc822 that unpacks message attachments
- of type message/rfc822 and attaches the individual parts instead of
- attaching the whole message/rfc822 attachment to the roundup issue.
+- 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:
-- fixed reporting of source missing warnings
-- relevant tests made locale independent, issue2550660 (thanks
- Benni Bärmann for reporting).
-- fix for incorrect except: syntax, issue2550661 (thanks Jakub Wilk)
-- No longer use the root logger, use a logger with prefix "roundup",
- see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.bug-tracking.roundup.devel/5356
-- improve handling of '>' when URLs are converted to links, issue2550664
- (thanks Ezio Melotti)
-- fixed registration, issue2550665 (thanks Timo Paulssen)
-- make sorting of multilinks in the web interface more robust, issue2550663
-- Fix charset of first text-part of outgoing multipart messages, thanks Dirk
- Geschke for reporting, see
- http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.bug-tracking.roundup.user/10223
-- Fix handling of incoming message/rfc822 attachments. These resulted in
- a weird mail usage error because the email module threw a TypeError
- which roundup interprets as a Reject exception. Fixes issue2550667.
- Added regression tests for message/rfc822 attachments with and without
- configured unpacking (mailgw unpack_rfc822, see Features above)
- Thanks to Benni Bärmann for reporting.
-- Allow search_popup macro to work with all db classes, issue2550567
- (thanks John Kristensen)
-- lower memory footprint for (journal-) import
+- 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)
If you're upgrading from an older version of Roundup you *must* follow
the "Software Upgrade" guidelines given in the maintenance documentation.
-Roundup requires python 2.3 or later (but not 3+) for correct operation.
+Roundup requires python 2.4 or later (but not 3+) for correct operation.
To give Roundup a try, just download (see below), unpack and run::
Release info and download page:

Source and documentation is available at the website:
- http://roundup.sourceforge.net/
+ http://roundup-tracker.org/
Mailing lists - the place to ask questions:
http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=31577
The system will facilitate communication among the participants by managing
discussions and notifying interested parties when issues are edited. One of
the major design goals for Roundup that it be simple to get going. Roundup
