+Migrating from 1.4.x to 1.4.17
+==============================
+
+Searching now requires either read-permission without a check method, or
+you will have to add a "Search" permission for a class or a list of
+properties for a class (if you want to allow searching). For the classic
+template (or other templates derived from it) you want to add the
+following lines to your `schema.py` file::
+
+ p = db.security.addPermission(name='Search', klass='query')
+ db.security.addPermissionToRole('User', p)
+
+This is needed, because for the `query` class users may view only their
+own queries (or public queries). This is implemented with a `check`
+method, therefore the default search permissions will not allow
+searching and you'll have to add an explicit search permission.
+If you have modified your schema, you can check if you're missing any
+search permissions with the following script, run it in your tracker
+directory, it will list for each Class and Property the roles that may
+search for this property::
+
+ #!/usr/bin/python
+ import os
+ from roundup import instance
+
+ tracker = instance.open(os.getcwd ())
+ db = tracker.open('admin')
+
+ for cl in sorted(db.getclasses()):
+ print "Class:", cl
+ for p in sorted(db.getclass(cl).properties.keys()):
+ print " Property:", p
+ roles = []
+ for role in sorted(db.security.role.iterkeys()):
+ if db.security.roleHasSearchPermission(role,cl,p):
+ roles.append(role)
+ print " roles may search:", ', '.join(roles)
+
+
+Migrating from 1.4.x to 1.4.12
+==============================
+
+Item creation now checks the "Create" permission instead of the "Edit"
+permission for individual properties. If you have modified your tracker
+permissions from the default distribution, you should check that
+"Create" permissions exist for all properties you want users to be able
+to create.
+
+
+Fixing some potential security holes
+------------------------------------
+
+Enhanced checking was added to the user registration auditor. If you
+run a public tracker you should update your tracker's
+``detectors/userauditor.py`` using the new code from
+``share/roundup/templates/classic/detectors/userauditor.py``. In most
+cases you may just copy the file over, but if you've made changes to
+the auditor in your tracker then you'll need to manually integrate
+the new code.
+
+Some HTML templates were found to have formatting security problems:
+
+``html/page.html``::
+
+ -tal:replace="request/user/username">username
+ +tal:replace="python:request.user.username.plain(escape=1)">username
+
+``html/_generic.help-list.html``::
+
+ -tal:content="structure python:item[prop]">
+ +tal:content="python:item[prop]">
+
+The lines marked "+" should be added and lines marked "-" should be
+deleted (minus the "+"/"-" signs).
+
+
+Some HTML interface tweaks
+--------------------------
+
+You may wish to copy the ``user_utils.js`` and ``style.css` files from the
+source distribution ``share/roundup/templates/classic/html/`` directory to the
+``html`` directory of your trackers as it includes a small improvement.
+
+If you have made local changes to those files you'll need to manually work
+the differences in to your versions or ignore the changes.
+
+
+Migrating from 1.4.x to 1.4.11
+==============================
+
+Close potential security hole
+-----------------------------
+
+If your tracker has untrusted users you should examine its ``schema.py``
+file and look for the section granting the "Edit" permission to your users.
+This should look something like::
+
+ p = db.security.addPermission(name='Edit', klass='user', check=own_record,
+ description="User is allowed to edit their own user details")
+
+and should be modified to restrict the list of properties they are allowed
+to edit by adding the ``properties=`` section like::
+
+ p = db.security.addPermission(name='Edit', klass='user', check=own_record,
+ properties=('username', 'password', 'address', 'realname', 'phone',
+ 'organisation', 'alternate_addresses', 'queries', 'timezone'),
+ description="User is allowed to edit their own user details")
+
+Most importantly the "roles" property should not be editable - thus not
+appear in that list of properties.
+
+
+Grant the "Register" permission to the Anonymous role
+-----------------------------------------------------
+
+A separate "Register" permission has been introduced to allow
+anonymous users to register. This means you will need to add the
+following to your tracker's ``schema.py`` to add the permission and
+assign it to the Anonymous role (replacing any previously assigned
+"Create user" permission for the Anonymous role)::
+
+ +db.security.addPermission(name='Register', klass='user',
+ + description='User is allowed to register new user')
+
+ # Assign the appropriate permissions to the anonymous user's Anonymous
+ # Role. Choices here are:
+ # - Allow anonymous users to register
+ -db.security.addPermissionToRole('Anonymous', 'Create', 'user')
+ +db.security.addPermissionToRole('Anonymous', 'Register', 'user')
+
+The lines marked "+" should be added and lines marked "-" should be
+deleted (minus the "+"/"-" signs).
+
+You should also modify the ``html/page.html`` template to change the
+permission tested there::
+
+ -tal:condition="python:request.user.hasPermission('Create', 'user')"
+ +tal:condition="python:request.user.hasPermission('Register', 'user')"
+
+
+Generic class editor may now restore retired items
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+The instructions for doing so won't be present in your tracker unless you copy
+the ``_generic.index.html`` template from the roundup distribution in
+``share/roundup/templates/classic/html`` to your tracker's ``html`` directory.
+
+
Migrating from 1.4.x to 1.4.9
=============================
+Customized MailGW Class
+-----------------------
+
+If you have customized the MailGW class in your tracker: The new MailGW
+class opens the database for each message in the method handle_message
+(instance.open) instead of passing the opened database as a parameter to
+the MailGW constructor. The old handle_message has been renamed to
+_handle_message. The new method opens the database and wraps the call to
+the old method into a try/finally.
+
+Your customized MailGW class needs to mirror this behavior.
