Features:
+- Allow declaration of default_values for properties in schema.
- Add explicit "Search" permissions, see Security Fix below.
+- Add "lookup" method to xmlrpc interface (Ralf Schlatterbeck)
+- Multilinks can be filtered by combining elements with AND, OR and NOT
+ operators now. A javascript gui was added for "keywords", see issue2550648.
+ Developed by Sascha Teichmann; funded by Intevation. (Bernhard Reiter)
+- Factor MailGW message parsing into a separate class, thanks to John
+ Kristensen who did the major work in issue2550576 -- I wouldn't
+ have attempted it without this. Fixes issue2550576. (Ralf)
+- Now if the -C option to roundup-mailgw specifies "issue" this refers
+ to an issue-like class. The real class is determined from the
+ configured default class, or the -c option to the mailgw, or the class
+ resulting from mail subject parsing. We also accept multiple -S
+ options for the same class now. (Ralf)
+- Optimisation: Late evaluation of Multilinks (only in rdbms backends):
+ previously we materialized each multilink in a Node -- this creates an
+ SQL query for each multilink (e.g. 'files' and 'messages' for each
+ line in the issue index display) -- even if the multilinks aren't
+ displayed. Now we compute multilinks only if they're accessed (and
+ keep them cached).
+- Add a filter_iter similar to the existing filter call. This feature is
+ considered experimental. This is currently not used in the
+ web-interface but passes all tests for the filter call except sorting
+ by Multilinks (which isn't supported by SQL and isn't a sane concept
+ anyway). When using filter_iter instead of filter this saves a *lot*
+ of SQL queries: Filter returns only the IDs of Nodes in the database,
+ the additional content of a Node has to be fetched in a separate SQL
+ call. The new filter_iter also returns the IDs of Nodes (one by one,
+ it's an iterator) but pre-seeds the cache with the content of the
+ Node. The information needed for seeding the cache is retrieved in the
+ same SQL query as the ids.
Fixed:
-- Some minor typos fixed in doc/customizing.txt (Thanks Ralf Hemmecke).
- Security Fix: Add a check for search-permissions: now we allow
searching for properties only if the property is readable without a
check method or if an explicit search permission (see above unter
doesn't have access to a property but can deduce the content by
crafting a clever search, group or sort query.
see doc/upgrading.txt for how to fix your trackers! (Ralf Schlatterbeck).
+- Range support in roundup-server so large files can be served,
+ e.g. media files on iOS/iPads; issue2550694. (Bernhard Reiter;
+ Thanks to Jon C. Thomason for the patch.)
+- Fix search for xapian 1.2 issue2550676
+ (Bernhard Reiter; Thanks to Olly Betts for providing the patch.)
+- Some minor typos fixed in doc/customizing.txt (Thanks Ralf Hemmecke).
+- XML-RPC documentation now linked from the docs/index (Bernhard Reiter).
+- Fix setting of sys.path when importing schema.py, fixes issue2550675,
+ thanks to Bryce L Nordgren for reporting. (Ralf Schlatterbeck)
+- clear the cache on commit for rdbms backends: Don't carry over cached
+ values from one transaction to the next (there may be other changes
+ from other transactions) see new ConcurrentDBTest for a
+ read-modify-update cycle that fails with the old caching behavior.
+ (Ralf Schlatterbeck)
+- Fix incorrect setting of template in customizing.txt example action,
+ patch via issue2550682 (thanks John Kristensen)
+- Configuration issue: On some postgresql 8.4 installations (notably on
+ debian squeeze) the default template database used for database
+ creation doesn't match the needed character encoding UTF8 -- a new
+ config option 'template' in the rdbms section now allows specification
+ of the template. You know you need this option if you get the error
+ message:
+ psycopg2.DataError: new encoding (UTF8) is incompatible with the
+ encoding of the template database (SQL_ASCII)
+ HINT: Use the same encoding as in the template database, or use
+ template0 as template.
+ (Ralf Schlatterbeck)
+- Fixed bug in mailgw refactoring, patch issue2550697 (thanks Hubert
+ Touvet)
+- Fix Password handling security issue2550688 (thanks Joseph Myers for
+ reporting and Eli Collins for fixing) -- this fixes all observations
+ by Joseph Myers except for auto-migration of existing passwords.
+- Add new config-option 'migrate_passwords' in section 'web' to
+ auto-migrate passwords at web-login time. Default for the new option
+ is "yes" so if you don't want that passwords are auto-migrated to a
+ more secure password scheme on user login, set this to "no" before
+ running your tracker(s) after the upgrade.
+- Add new config-option 'password_pbkdf2_default_rounds' in 'main'
+ section to configure the default parameter for new password
+ generation. Set this to a higher value on faster systems which want
+ more security. Thanks to Eli Collins for implementing this (see
+ issue2550688).
