108 - gadfly backend now handles changes to the schema - but only one property
109 at a time
110 - cgi.client base URL is now obtained from the config TRACKER_WEB
111 - request.url has gone away - there's too much magic in trying to figure

113 - cgi-bin script redirects to https now if the request was https
114 - FileClass "content" property wasn't being returned by getprops() in most
115 backends
116 - we now verify instance attributes on instance open and throw a useful error
117 if they're not all there
118 - sf 611217 ] menu() has problems when labelprop==None
119 - verify contents of tracker module when the tracker is opened
120 - many performance improvements in *dbm and sql backends

137 - revamped user guide, customisation guide, added maintenance guide

140 alternate)
141 - merge Zope Collector #573 fix from ZPT CVS trunk

164 Fixed:
165 - #576086 ] dumb copying mistake (frontends/ZRoundup.py)

171 - web forms may now unset Link values (like assignedto)
172 - cleanup: moved roundup.templatebuilder to roundup.templates.builder
173 - instance __init__ no longer silently traps dbinit import errors
175 Feature:
176 - new backend for metakit (thanks Gordon McMillan)
177 - new backend for gadfly (it's as done as it's going to get)
178 - further split the dbm backends from the core code, allowing easier
179 non-dict-like backends (eg metakit, RDB)
180 - implemented and used the new access control mechanisms (Permissions, Roles)
181 (see doc/security.txt)
182 - switched templating to use Zope's PageTemplates (yay!)
183 - switched to sessions for web authentication
184 - added Boolean and Number types
185 - fixed the journal bloat
186 - updated design document for new access controls

191 - the page layout is now templatable
192 - re-worked cgi interface to abstract out the explicit "issue" interface
193 - have index page handle mid-page errors better so header and footer are
194 still visible
195 - we handle "not found", access and item page render errors better
196 - fixed double-submit by having new-item-submit redirect at end
197 - daemonify roundup-server (fork, logfile, pidfile)
198 - modify cgitb to display PageTemplate errors better
199 - rename to "instance" to "tracker"
200 - have roundup.cgi pick up tracker config from the environment
201 - revamped look and feel in web interface
202 - cleaned up stylesheet usage
203 - several bug fixes and documentation fixes
204 - added is_retired test to hyperdb.Class
205 - added capability to save queries:
206 - a query Class with name, klass (to search) and url (query string)
207 properties
208 - a Multilink to query on user called queries
209 - html templates for query, and a list of queries in user.item
210 - search form has Save button & name input
211 - saved queries put in menu in pagehead
212 - for migration, none of the above is required and old behavior preserved.
213 - showquery translates search form <-> query string
214 - cleaned up the indexer code:
215 - it splits more words out
216 - removed code we'll never use (roundup.roundup_indexer has the full
217 implementation, and replaces roundup.indexer)
218 - only index text/plain and rfc822/message (ideas for other text formats to
219 index are welcome)
220 - added simple unit test for indexer. Needs more tests for regression.
221 - all String properties may now be indexed too. Currently there's a bit of
222 "issue" specific code in the actual searching which needs to be
223 addressed. In a nutshell:
224 + pass 'indexme="yes"' as a String() property initialisation arg, eg:
225 file = FileClass(db, "file", name=String(), type=String(),
226 comment=String(indexme="yes"))
227 + the comment will then be indexed and be searchable, with the results
228 related back to the issue that the file is linked to
229 - as a result of this work, the FileClass has a default MIME type that may
230 be overridden in a subclass, or by the use of a "type" property as is
231 done in the default templates.
232 - the regeneration of the indexes (if necessary) is done once the schema is
233 set up in the dbinit.
234 - new "reindex" command in roundup-admin used to force regeneration of the
235 index
236 - added email display function - mangles email addrs so they're not so easily
237 scraped from the web
238 - switched to using a session-based web login
239 - made mailgw handle set and modify operations on multilinks (bug #579094)
240 - fixed the journal bloat from multilink changes - we just log the add or
241 remove operations, not the whole list
244 2002-06-24 0.4.2
245 Fixed:
246 - Cleaned up the hyperdb unit tests.
247 - Applied patch from Andrew W. Nosenko to give nicer Unauthorised message
248 when anonymous user tries to edit. Should've been applied in 0.4.2pr1. Oops.
249 - Added more detailed note to MIGRATION regarding the detectors changes.
252 2002-06-19 0.4.2pr1
253 Feature:
254 - added a "detectors" directory for people to put their useful auditors and
255 reactors in. Note - the roundupdb.IssueClass.sendmessage method has been
256 split and renamed "nosymessage" specifically for things like the nosy
257 reactor, and "send_message" which just sends the message.
258 - link() htmltemplate function now has a "showid" option for links and
259 multilinks. When true, it only displays the linked node id as the anchor
260 text. The link value is displayed as a tooltip using the title anchor
261 attribute.
262 To use in eg. the superseder field, have something like this:
263 <td>
264 <display call="field('superseder', showid=1)">
265 <display call="classhelp('issue', 'id,title', label='list', width=500)">
266 <property name="superseder">
267 <br>View: <display call="link('superseder', showid=1)">
268 </property>
269 </td>
270 - stripping of the email message body can now be controlled through the
271 config variables EMAIL_KEEP_QUOTED_TEXT and EMAIL_LEAVE_BODY_UNCHANGED.
272 - all database files created are now group readable and writable.
273 - added option to automatically add the authors and recipients of messages
274 to the nosy lists with the options ADD_AUTHOR_TO_NOSY (default 'new') and
275 ADD_RECIPIENTS_TO_NOSY (default 'new'). These settings emulate the current
276 behaviour. Setting them to 'yes' will add the author/recipients to the nosy
277 on messages that create issues and followup messages.
278 - reverting to dates for intervals > 2 months sucks
279 - changed the default message list in issues to display the message body
280 - applied patch #558876 ] cgi client customization
281 - split instance initialisation into two steps, allowing config changes
282 before the database is initialised.
283 - don't create an empty message on email issue creation if the email is empty
284 - may now display additional fields in Multilink form menus
285 - #541941 ] changing multilink properties by mail
286 - #526730 ] search for messages capability
287 - #505180 ] split MailGW.handle_Message
288 - also changed cgi client since it was duplicating the functionality
290 Fixed:
291 - stop sending blank (whitespace-only) notes
292 - cleanup of serialisation for database storage
293 - node ids are now generated from a lockable store - no more race conditions
294 - sorting was applied to all nodes of the MultiLink class instead of
295 to the nodes that are actually linked to in the "field" template
296 function. This adds about 20+ seconds in the display of an issue if
297 your database has a 1000 or more issues in it.
298 - added missing documentation for a few of the config option values
299 - file upload broke if you didn't supply a change note
300 - fixed SCRIPT_NAME in ZRoundup for instances not at top level of Zope
301 (thanks dman)
302 - fixed some sorting issues that were breaking some unit tests under py2.2
303 - mailgw test output dir was confusing the init test (but only on 2.2 *shrug*)
304 - node caching now works, and gives a small boost in performance
305 - #449374 ] re-enable bsddb3 backend
306 bsddb3 backend now works, reinstating
307 - #551483 ] assignedto in Client.make_index_link
308 - made backends.__init__ be more specific about which ImportErrors it really
309 wants to ignore
310 - fixed the example addresses in the templates to use correct example domains
311 - cleaned out the template stylesheets, removing a bunch of junk that really
312 wasn't necessary (font specs, styles never used) and added a style for
313 message content
314 - build htmlbase if tests are run using CVS checkout
315 - #565979 ] code error in hyperdb.Class.find
316 - #565996 ] The "Attach a File to this Issue" fails
317 - #564271 ] find() and new properties
318 - #562130 ] cookie path generated from ZRoundup was wrong in some situations
319 - remove CR characters embedded in messages (ZRoundup)
320 - properly quote the email address and "real name" in all situations using the
321 'email' module if it is available and 'rfc822' otherwise
322 - #565992 ] if ISSUE_TRACKER_WEB doesn't have the trailing '/', add it
323 - use the rfc822 module to ensure that every (oddball) email address and
324 real-name is properly quoted
325 - #558867 ] ZRoundup redirect /instance requests to /instance/
326 - #569415 ] {version}
327 - #569178 ] type error
328 was fixed as part of the general cleanup of reactors
331 2002-03-25 - 0.4.1
332 Feature:
333 - use blobfiles in back_anydbm which is used in back_bsddb.
334 change test_db as dirlist does not work for subdirectories.
335 ATTENTION: blobfiles now creates subdirectories for files.
336 - add module blobfiles in backends with file access functions.
337 - roundup db catch only IOError in getfile.
338 - roundup db catches retrieving not existing files.
339 - #503204 ] mailgw needs a default class
340 - partially done - the setting of additional properties can wait for a
341 better configuration system.
342 - Alternate email addresses are now available for users. See the MIGRATION
343 file for info on how to activate the feature.
344 - #511168 ] Web interface: Adding new products
345 Classes that don't provide template html get a default edit interface now:
346 - access using the admin "class list" interface
347 - limited to admin-only
348 - requires the csv module from object-craft (url given if it's missing)
349 - Added popup help for classes using the classhelp html template function.
350 - add <display call="classhelp('priority', 'id,name,description')">
351 to an item page, and it generates a link to a popup window which displays
352 the id, name and description for the priority class. The description
353 field won't exist in most installations, but it will be added to the
354 default templates.
355 - #517734 ] web header customisation is obscure
356 - All messages sent to the nosy list are now encoded as
357 quoted-printable before they are sent.
358 - Fixed display of mutlilink properties when using the template
359 functions, menu and plain.
361 Fixed:
362 - Clean up mail handling, multipart handling.
363 - respect encodings in non multipart messages.
364 - makeHtmlBase: re.sub under python 2.2 did not replace '.', string.replace
365 does it.
366 - preamble in tepmlateBuilder mentioned htmldata
367 - mailgw checks encoding on first part too.
368 - #511586 ] unittest FAIL: testReldate_date
369 - Added a uniquely Roundup header to email, "X-Roundup-Name"
370 - All forms now have "double-submit" protection when Javascript is enabled
371 on the client-side.
372 - #516883 ] mail interface + ANONYMOUS_REGISTER
373 - #516854 ] "My Issues" and redisplay
374 - #517906 ] Attribute order in "View customisation"
375 - #514854 ] History: "User" is always ticket creator
376 - wasn't handling cvs parser feeding correctly
377 - fixed some problems in date calculations (calendar.py doesn't handle over-
378 and under-flow). Also, hour/minute/second intervals may now be more than
379 99 each.
380 - #527416 ] roundup-admin uses undefined value
381 - #527503 ] unfriendly init blowup when parent dir
382 (also handles UsageError correctly now in init)
383 - #524129 ] roundup-admin gets python path wrong
386 2002-01-24 - 0.4.0
387 Feature:
388 - much nicer history display (actualy real handling of property types etc)
389 - journal entries for link and mutlilink properties can be switched on or
390 off
391 - properties in change note are now sorted
392 - you can now use the roundup-admin tool pack the database
394 Fixed:
395 - the mail gateway now responds with an error message when invalid values
396 for arguments are specified for link or mutlilink properties

398 - handle attachments with no name (eg tnef)
399 - fixed setting nosy as argument in subject line
400 - fixed back_bsddb so it passed the journal tests
401 - fixed status changes in mail gateway (eg. unread -> chatting)
402 - we'll actually distribute the frontends directory now, as advertised...
403 - handle stripping of "AW:" from subject line
404 - htmltemplate list() wasn't sorting...
405 - unit tests for html templating (and re-enabled the listbox field for
406 multilinks)
407 - allow abbreviation of "help" in admin tool too.
408 - run_tests testReldate_date failed if LANG is 'german'
409 - mailgw failures (unexpected ones) are forwarded to the roundup admin
412 2002-01-16 - 0.4.0b2
413 Fixed:
414 - #495392 ] empty nosy -patch
415 - #500574 ] messageid must have format <part1@part2>
416 - fixed some problems with web editing and change detection
417 - mail splitting wasn't detecting responses in the same "section" as quoted
418 text
419 - missed a "from i18n import _" in date.py
420 - #501690 ] MIGRATION.txt incomplete
421 - #502342 ] pipe interface
422 - #502437 ] rogue reactor and unittest
423 - re-enabled dumbdbm when using python >2.1.1 (ie 2.1.2, 2.2)
424 - changed all config accesses so they access either the instance or the
425 config attriubute on the db. This means that all config is obtained from
426 instance_config instead of the mish-mash of classes. This will make
427 switching to a ConfigParser setup easier too, I hope.
428 - #502951 ] adding new properties to old database
429 - #502953 ] nosy-like treatment of other multilinks
430 - #503164 ] create and passwords
431 - plain rendering of links in the htmltemplate now generate a hyperlink to
432 the linked node's page.
433 - #503330 ] ANONYMOUS_REGISTER now applies to mail
434 - #503353 ] setting properties in initial email
435 - #502956 ] filtering by multilink not supported
436 - #503340 ] creating issue with [asignedto=p.ohly]
437 - #502949 ] index view for non-issues and redisplay
438 - #503793 ] changing assignedto resets nosy list
439 - lots of date/interval related changes:
440 - more relaxed date format for input
441 - handle None for date/interval properties
444 2002-01-08 - 0.4.0b1
445 Feature:
446 - Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
447 the instance.
448 - Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
449 signature info in e-mails.
450 - Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
451 - Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
452 - Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
453 - We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
454 the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
455 bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
456 lot more work anyway...
457 - the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
458 single transaction
459 - the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
460 if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
461 during the session (up to the last commit).
462 - Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
463 - Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
464 (which still appears in the Reply-To:)
465 - Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
466 - Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
467 needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
468 - much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
469 - #496356 ] Use threading in messages
470 This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
471 using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
472 feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.
474 Fixed:
475 - Lots of bugs, thanks Roché and others on the devel mailing list!
476 - login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
477 - Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
478 gateway.
479 - Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
480 on a failure)
481 - We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
482 the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
483 - #487480 ] roundup-server
484 - #487476 ] INSTALL.txt
485 - #489760 ] [issue] only subject
486 - fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
487 - fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
488 - web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
489 - we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
490 this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
491 cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
492 - envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
493 delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
494 - #495400 ] entering blanks
495 Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
496 for details.
497 - #496360 ] table width does not work
498 - detectors were being registered multiple times
499 - added tests for mailgw
502 2001-11-23 - 0.3.0
503 Feature:
504 - #467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
505 - #473123 ] Change message generation for author
506 - MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
507 - Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
508 - Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
509 - "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
510 - roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
511 - roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
512 - roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
513 - users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
514 - incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
515 e-mail
516 - added a target version field to the extended issue schema
517 - added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
518 translatable messages
520 Fixed:
521 - Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
522 - 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
523 - Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
524 - roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
525 - Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
526 - Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
527 - bug #475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
528 - bug #474749 ] indentations lost
529 - bug #477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
530 - bug #477107 ] HTTP header problem
531 - bug #477687 ] conforming html
532 - bug #474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
533 - bug #477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
534 - bug #477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
535 - bug #477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
536 - newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
537 - bug #479511 ] mailgw to pop
538 - bug #479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
539 - bad error report in hyperdb
540 - roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
541 of processing
542 - roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
543 contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
544 an error message to the roundup admin.
545 - fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
546 - errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
547 squashed)
548 - re-open the database as the author in mail handling
549 - missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)
552 2001-10-23 - 0.3.0 pre 3
553 Feature:
554 - MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
555 - feature #473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
556 source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
557 information is displayed.
558 Admin Tool (roundup-admin):
559 - Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
560 - Tabular display of nodes.
561 - Import and export via colon-separated files.
563 Changed:
564 - re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
565 introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.
567 Fixed:
568 - Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
569 - CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
570 - Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
571 - Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
572 - Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
573 - Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
574 - Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
575 - bug #473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
576 customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
577 - bug #473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
578 as numbers now.
579 - bug #473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
580 This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
581 that of being able to turn off certain filters.
582 - bug #473125: Paragraph in e-mails
583 - bug #473126: Sender unknown
584 - bug #473130: Nosy list not set correctly
587 2001-10-11 - 0.3.0 pre 2
588 Fixed:
589 - Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
590 property values. This broke a lot of things.
593 2001-10-10 - 0.3.0 pre 1
594 Feature:
595 - roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
596 on the command-line.
597 - hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
598 properties.
599 - CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.
601 Changed:
602 - Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
603 now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
604 "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
605 handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
606 - The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
607 - The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
608 login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
609 file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
610 - Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
611 will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
612 at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
613 number of encoding systems.
614 - The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
615 protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
616 documentation for details.)
618 Fixed:
619 - Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
620 Ping - has been removed.
621 - Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
622 - Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
623 - AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
624 - Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
625 been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
626 - Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
627 an item now throws an exception.
628 - The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
629 - Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.
633 --------------
635 2001-08-30 - 0.2.8
636 Fixed:
637 - Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
638 - Missing import in mailgw.
641 2001-08-29 - 0.2.7
642 Feature:
643 - Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
644 regular expressions now.
646 Fixed:
647 - Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
648 - Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
649 (both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
650 - Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
651 - Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
652 that the change note message is actually genrated.
653 - CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
654 - Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
655 there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
656 there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
657 - Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
658 when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and #456408 are
659 dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
662 2001-08-08 - 0.2.6
663 Note:
664 - Roundup is now released under the same terms as the Python License.
666 Feature:
667 - Added tests for instance initialisation. No more releasing the software
668 with bugs in roundup.init!
669 - Now bundling unittest with the package so that python 2.0 users can use
670 the tests.
671 - Much better error handling and messages generated by the mail gateway.
673 Fixed:
674 - Implemented correct mail splitting. Added unit tests. Also snips
675 signatures now too.
676 - Bug #447671 - typo in roundup/init.py
677 - Changed date.Date to use regular string formatting instead of strftime -
678 win32 seems to have problems with %T and no hour... or something...
679 - Bug #448484 - now catching correct exception from makedirs.
680 - Instances are now opened by a special function that generates a unique
681 module name for the instances on import time.
684 2001-08-03 - 0.2.5
685 Note:
686 - The bsddb3 module has a bug that renders it non-functional. Users should
687 select the anydbm or bsddb backend instead.
689 Fixed:
690 - Python 2.0 does not contain the unittest module. The setup.py module now
691 checks for unittest before attempting to run the unit tests.
694 2001-08-03 - 0.2.4
695 Features:
696 - Added ability for cgi newblah forms to indicate that the new node
697 should be linked somewhere.
698 - Added time logging and file uploading to the templates.
699 - Added "My Issues" and "My Support" to extended template. Changed "Your
700 Details" to "My Details". Changed the "New Foo" links to "Add Foo".
701 Added links for unassigned support and issues. Generally reorganised and
702 cleanup the header up.
703 - Changed the order of the information in the message generated by web edits.
704 - Extended the range of intervals that are pretty-printed before actual dates
705 are displayed.
706 - Added more BUILD instructions including the "clean" command to force
707 rebuild.
708 - Web edit messages aren't sent to the person who did the edit any more. No
709 message is generated if they are the only person on the nosy list.
710 - Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
711 include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
712 override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
713 instructions, etc).
715 Fixed:
716 - Argument handling for the roundup-admin find command.
717 - Handling of summary when no note supplied for newblah. Again.
718 - Detection of no form in htmltemplate Field display.
719 - Checklist html template command was setting wrong name.
720 - 2.1-specific gmtime() (no arg) call in roundup.date. (thanks Paul Wright)
721 - mailgw was making naughty assumptions about the schema of the classes it
722 was creating nodes for.
723 - remove the $Foo$ from the HTML files stored in the htmlbase modules.
724 - Instance import now imports the instance using imp.load_module so that
725 we can have instance homes of "roundup" or other existing python package
726 names.
729 2001-07-30 - 0.2.3
730 Big change:
731 - I've split off the support class from the issue class in "extended".
732 Anyone who has any support entries, sorry. It should be possible to
733 write a scipt that moves the entries over pretty easily. If this causes
734 you pain, I'll do so. You'll want to update your instance with the new
735 code in "extended" either way.
737 Features:
738 - Added the unit tests to the start of setup.py so they're run whenever
739 we do anything distutils'y.
740 - Added nicer prompting to the roundup-admin "init" command.
741 - Actually, the roundup-admin code is totally revamped, and has command
742 help and better command-line arg handling.
743 - The cgi_client.Client base class now reflects the structure of "classic"
744 rather than "extended" since "classic" is more of a "base" template.
745 - Added more DB to test. Skips tests where imports fail.
747 Fixed:
748 - One of the tests in test_date had the wrong expected result.
749 - Fixed IssueClass so that superseders links to its classname rather than
750 hard-coded to "issue".
751 - templatebuilder was catching IOError instead of OSError.
752 - The cgi_client newblah method wasn't detecting the __note form field
753 properly.
754 - The History command in htmltemplate didn't handle a new node (None
755 nodeid) properly.
758 2001-07-29 - 0.2.2
759 Features:
760 - Added implementation.txt to the doc directory. Contains implementation
761 notes specific to this implementations of Roundup.
762 - Cleaned up mailgw some (subclass Message for getPart) and added some
763 tests for multipart splitting.
764 - Better checking for html dir in templatebuilder.
765 - Base hyperdb.Class now fakes the "id" property.
766 - Made the classic roundup look more like the original prototype.
767 - Made cgi_client and templating slightly more generic.
768 - Moved some code around in cgi_client allowing for subclassing to change
769 behaviour.
770 - Added the fabricated property "id" to all hyperdb classes.
771 - Cleanup of the link label generation (new method on hyperdb.Class to do
772 it).
774 Fixed:
775 - Everything uses errno module now to check errno values.
776 - New issue form handles lack of note better now.
777 - HTML templating uses section-bar style for index group headers now.
778 - Fixed problem in link display when Link value is None.
779 - Form handling in cgi client wasn't propogating through the previous
780 query elements.
781 - Fixed sort arguments generated for column headings so sorting can be
782 changed now.
785 2001-07-28 - 0.2.1
786 Features:
787 - Added docstring to roundup package so pydoc reports useful information.
788 - Added the roundup 1 software carpentry submission HTML to the doc
789 directory as "overview.html".
791 Fixes:
792 - Fixed bug in init command - templatebuilder was assuming existence of
793 "html" directory in instance home.
794 - Fixed INSTALL.txt to reflect some changes in the installation and test
795 procedure. Whatdya know, "setup.py install" does the script install.
796 There you go...
797 - Fixed some non-string node ids in cgi_client now that the hyperdb is
798 strict about such things.
800 2001-07-26 - 0.2.0
801 Features:
802 - Major reorganisation of code to allow multiple roundup instances and a
803 single, site-packages -based installation. Also allows multiple database
804 back-ends.
805 - Moved the bin/ proggies into the top dir, so that it all works
806 out-of-the-box
807 - Added the "classic" template - a direct implementation of the Roundup
808 spec. Well, as close as we're going to get, anyway.
809 - Added an issue priority of support to "extended"
810 - Added command-line arg handling to roundup-server so it's more useful
811 out-of-the-box.
812 - Added distutils-style installation of "lib" files.
813 - Added some unit tests.
815 Fixes:
816 - Fixed bug in re generation in the filter
817 - Fixed handling of None String property in grouped list headings
818 - Fixed adding new issue with no change note
819 - Fixed values in text input fields which contained quotes (") are now
820 quoted.
821 - Fixed a bug in the hyperdb filter - wrong variable names in the error
822 message.
824 2001-07-19 - 0.1.3
825 - Reldate now takes an argument "pretty" - when true, it pretty-prints the
826 interval generated up to 5 days, then pretty-prints the date of last
827 activity. The issue index and item now use the pretty format.
828 - Classes list for admin user in CGI interface.
829 - Made the view configuration more accessible, neater and more realistic.
830 - Fixed list view grouping handling grouping by a Multilink or String or Link
831 value of None or Date, ... (mind you, sorting by Date???)
832 - Fixed bug in the plain formatter when a Link was None.
833 - Fixed ordering of list view column headings.
834 - Fixed list view column heading sort links - and limited the number of
835 columns to sort by to 2.
836 - Added searching by glob to StringType filtering -
837 ^text - search for text at start of fields
838 text$ - search for text at end of fields
839 ^text$ - exactly match text in fields
840 te*xt - search for text matching "te"<any characters>"xt"
841 te?xt - search for text matching "te"<any one character>"xt"
842 - Added more fields to the issue.filter and issue.index templates
845 2001-07-18 - 0.1.2
846 - Set default index to ?:group=priority&:columns=activity,status,title so
847 the priority column isn't displayed.
848 - Thanks Anthony:
849 - added notes to the README about Python prerequisites
850 - added check to roundup.py, roundup.cgi, server.py and roundup-mailgw.py
851 for python 2+ - and made the file itself parseable by 1.5.2 ;)
852 - python 2.0 didn't have the default args for the time module functions.
853 - better handling of db directory in initDB
854 - Sorting on the extra properties defined by roundupdb classes was broken
855 due to the caching used. May now sort on activity and creation
856 properties, etc.
857 - Set the default index to sort on activity
860 2001-07-18 - 0.1.1
861 - Initial version release with consent of Roundup spec author, Ka-Ping Yee:
862 "Amazing! Nice work. I'll watch for the source code on your website."
864 2001-07-11 - 0.1.0
865 - Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many
866 Perl-based systems, to no avail. Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be
867 released. Had just finished major product project, so needed something
868 different for a while. Roundup here I come...
