+I'm proud to release version 1.4.10 of Roundup which fixes some bugs:
+
+- Minor update of doc/developers.txt to point to the new resources
+ on www.roundup-tracker.org (Bernhard Reiter)
+- Small CSS improvements regaring the search box (thanks Thomas Arendsan Hein)
+ (issue 2550589)
+- Indexers behaviour made more consistent regarding length of indexed words
+ and stopwords (thanks Thomas Arendsen Hein, Bernhard Reiter)(issue 2550584)
+- fixed typos in the installation instructions (thanks Thomas Arendsen Hein)
+ (issue 2550573)
+- New config option csv_field_size: Pythons csv module (which is used
+ for export/import) has a new field size limit starting with python2.5.
+ We now issue a warning during export if the limit is too small and use
+ the csv_field_size configuration during import to set the limit for
+ the csv module.
+- Small fix for CGI-handling of XMLRPC requests for python2.4, this
+ worked only for 2.5 and beyond due to a change in the xmlrpc interface
+ in python
+- Document filter method of xmlrpc interface
+- Fix interaction of SSL and XMLRPC, now XMLRPC works with SSL
+
+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.
