Roundup

Feature:

- much nicer history display (actualy real handling of property types etc)
- journal entries for link and mutlilink properties can be switched on or
off
- properties in change note are now sorted
- you can now use the roundup-admin tool pack the database

Fixed:

- the mail gateway now responds with an error message when invalid values
for arguments are specified for link or mutlilink properties
- modified unit test to check nosy and assignedto when specified as arguments
- handle attachments with no name (eg tnef)
- fixed setting nosy as argument in subject line
- fixed back_bsddb so it passed the journal tests
- fixed status changes in mail gateway (eg. unread -> chatting)
- we'll actually distribute the frontends directory now, as advertised...
- handle stripping of "AW:" from subject line
- htmltemplate list() wasn't sorting...
- unit tests for html templating (and re-enabled the listbox field for
multilinks)
- allow abbreviation of "help" in admin tool too.
- run_tests testReldate_date failed if LANG is 'german'
- mailgw failures (unexpected ones) are forwarded to the roundup admin

Fixed:

- 495392 ] empty nosy -patch
- 500574 ] messageid must have format <part1part2>
- fixed some problems with web editing and change detection
- mail splitting wasn't detecting responses in the same "section" as quoted
text
- missed a "from i18n import _" in date.py
- 501690 ] MIGRATION.txt incomplete
- 502342 ] pipe interface
- 502437 ] rogue reactor and unittest
- re-enabled dumbdbm when using python >2.1.1 (ie 2.1.2, 2.2)
- changed all config accesses so they access either the instance or the
config attriubute on the db. This means that all config is obtained from
instance_config instead of the mish-mash of classes. This will make
switching to a ConfigParser setup easier too, I hope.
- 502951 ] adding new properties to old database
- 502953 ] nosy-like treatment of other multilinks
- 503164 ] create and passwords
- plain rendering of links in the htmltemplate now generate a hyperlink to
the linked node's page.
- 503330 ] ANONYMOUS_REGISTER now applies to mail
- 503353 ] setting properties in initial email
- 502956 ] filtering by multilink not supported
- 503340 ] creating issue with [asignedto=p.ohly]
- 502949 ] index view for non-issues and redisplay
- 503793 ] changing assignedto resets nosy list
- lots of date/interval related changes:
- more relaxed date format for input
- handle None for date/interval properties

Feature:

- Added INSTANCE_NAME to configuration - used in web and email to identify
the instance.
- Added EMAIL_SIGNATURE_POSITION to indicate where to place the roundup
signature info in e-mails.
- Some more flexibility in the mail gateway and more error handling.
- Login now takes you to the page you back to the were denied access to.
- Admin user now can has a user index link on their web interface.
- We now have basic transaction support. Information is only written to
the database when the commit() method is called. Only the anydbm and
bsddb3 backends are modified in this way - the bsddb3 backend needs a
lot more work anyway...

- the CGI and mailgw automatically commit() at the end of processing a
single transaction
- the admin tool requires an explicit "commit" - it will prompt at exit
if there are unsaved changes. A "rollback" removes all changes made
during the session (up to the last commit).

- Added the "display" command to the admin tool - displays a node's values
- Message author's name appears in From: instead of roundup instance name
(which still appears in the Reply-To:)
- Added a Zope frontend for roundup.
- Centralised the python version check code, bumped version to 2.1.1 (really
needs to be 2.1.2, but that isn't released yet :)
- much better attaching of erroneous messages in the mail gateway
- 496356 ] Use threading in messages
This adds the tracking of messages by message-id and allows threading
using in-reply-to. Most e-mail clients support threading using this
feature, and we hope to add support for it to the web gateway.

Fixed:

- Lots of bugs, thanks Roch\E9 and others on the devel mailing list!
- login_action and newuser_action return values were being ignored
- Woohoo! Found that bloody re-login bug that was killing the mail
gateway.
- Fixed login/registration forwarding the user to the right page (or not,
on a failure)
- We now use weakrefs in the Classes to keep the database reference, so
the close() method on the database is no longer needed.
- 487480 ] roundup-server
- 487476 ] INSTALL.txt
- 489760 ] [issue] only subject
- fixed doc/index.html to include the quoting in the mail alias.
- fixed the backends __init__ so we can pydoc the backend modules
- web i/f reports "note added" if there are no changes but a note is entered
- we were assuming database files created by anydbm had the same name, but
this is not the case for dbm. We now perform a much better check _and_
cope with the anydbm implementation module changing too!
- envelope-from is now set to the roundup-admin and not roundup itself so
delivery reports aren't sent to roundup (thanks Patrick Ohly)
- 495400 ] entering blanks
Values with spaces are now accepted in roundup-admin - check the long help
for details.
- 496360 ] table width does not work
- detectors were being registered multiple times
- added tests for mailgw

Feature:

- 467129 ] Lossage when username=e-mail-address
- 473123 ] Change message generation for author
- MailGW now moves 'resolved' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
- Added Structured Text rendering to htmltemplate, thanks Brad Clements.
- Added CGI configuration via env vars (see roundup.cgi for details)
- "roundup.cgi" is now installed to "<python-prefix>/share/roundup/cgi-bin"
- roundup-admin now accepts abbreviated commands (eg. l = li = lis = list)
- roundup-mailgw now supports unix mailbox and POP as sources of mail.
- roundup-admin now handles all hyperdb exceptions
- users may attach files to issues (and support in ext) through the web now
- incorporated patch from Roch'e Compaan implementing attachments in nosy
e-mail
- added a target version field to the extended issue schema
- added dummy hooks for I18N and some preliminary (test) markup of
translatable messages

Fixed:

- Fixed a bug in HTMLTemplate changes.
- 'unread' to 'chatting' automagic status change was b0rken.
- Anonymous user lockout wasn't working.
- roundup-server now works on Windows, thanks Juergen Hermann.
- Fixed install documentation, also thanks Juergen Hermann.
- Fixed some URL issues in roundup.cgi, again thanks Juergen Hermann.
- bug 475347 ] WindowsError still not caught (patch from Juergen Hermann)
- bug 474749 ] indentations lost
- bug 477104 ] HTML tag error in roundup-server
- bug 477107 ] HTTP header problem
- bug 477687 ] conforming html
- bug 474372 ] Netscape 4.77 do not render Support form
- bug 477685 ] base64.decodestring breaks
- bug 477837 ] lynx does not like the cookie
- bug 477892 ] Password edit doesn't fix login cookie
- newuser_action now presents error messages rather than tracebacks.
- bug 479511 ] mailgw to pop
- bug 479508 ] roundup-admin crash on wrong class
- bad error report in hyperdb
- roundup.mailgw now handles errors on the set() and create() at the end
of processing
- roundup.mailgw also handles messages that are passed to it that don't
contain a From: line - apparently some POP servers can do this. It punts
an error message to the roundup admin.
- fixed nosy reaction and author copy handling
- errors in nosy reaction will be propogated now (were effectively being
squashed)
- re-open the database as the author in mail handling
- missing "return" in filter_section (thanks Roch'e Compaan)


2001-10-23: 0.3.0 pre 3

Feature:

- MailGW now moves 'unread' to 'chatting' on receiving e-mail for an issue.
- feature 473127: Filenames. I modified the file.index and htmltemplate
source so that the filename is used in the link and the creation
information is displayed.

Admin Tool (roundup-admin):

- Interactive mode for running multiple (independant at present) commands.
- Tabular display of nodes.
- Import and export via colon-separated files.

Changed:

- re-organised the html templating code. Fixed some bugs, probably
introduced some more. Hopefully not too many.

Fixed:

- Stand-alone server now has a configurable setuid user.
- CGI interface wasn't handling checkboxes at all.
- Fixed quopri usage in mailgw from bug reports on mailing list.
- Remove the "freshen" command from the roundup-admin tool.
- Catch errors in login - no username or password supplied.
- Fixed editing of password (Password property type) thanks Roch'e Compaan.
- Fixed grouping of non-str properties thanks Roch'e Compaan.
- bug 473121: The customisation view and filters (CGI interface view
customisation section may now be hidden (patch from Roch'e Compaan.)
- bug 473122: Issue id sorting (hyperdb sorts strings-that-look-like-numbers
as numbers now.
- bug 473124: UI inconsistency with Link fields.
This also prompted me to fix a fairly long-standing usability issue -
that of being able to turn off certain filters.
- bug 473125: Paragraph in e-mails
- bug 473126: Sender unknown
- bug 473130: Nosy list not set correctly


2001-10-11: 0.3.0 pre 2

Fixed:

- Hyperdatabase was inserting empty strings instead of None for missing
property values. This broke a lot of things.


2001-10-10: 0.3.0 pre 1

Feature:

- roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
on the command-line.
- hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
properties.
- CGI interfaces now generate a top-level index of their known instances.

Changed:

- Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
"anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
- The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
- The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
- Passwords are now encoded by default (except exising databases which
will only be encoded when the passwords are changed). The scheme used
at the moment is SHA - but the code is flexible enough to take any
number of encoding systems.
- The roundup-admin tool always operates as the "admin" user now. Database
protection should be achieved using file system protections (see the
documentation for details.)

Fixed:

- Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
Ping - has been removed.
- Pretty time interval wasn't handling > 1 month properly.
- Generation of links to Link/Multilink in indexes. (thanks Hubert Hoegl)
- AssignedTo wasn't in the "classic" schema's item page.
- Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
- Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
an item now throws an exception.
- The plain() template function now html-escapes the content.
- Change message was stuffing up for multilinks with no key property.



--------------

Fixed:

- Wasn't handling unguessable mime types for file uploads.
- Missing import in mailgw.

Feature:

- Text searches are now case insensitive. All forms of text search use
regular expressions now.

Fixed:

- Had another 2.1-ism in the unit tests
- Made the mail parser a little more robust w.r.t missing Subject:
(both thanks Mikhail Sobolev)
- Missed some isFooType usages (thanks Mikhail Sobolev for spotting them)
- Reverted back to sending change messages to the web editor of a node so
that the change note message is actually genrated.
- CGI interface wasn't generating correct change messages.
- Notes entered during a change are saved to the messages list even if
there's no nosy list. No message is generated if there's no nosy list and
there's no change note (since it would just duplicates the journal).
- Completely removed the bsddb3 module from the tests - will be reinstated
when the http://bsddb.sourceforge.net/'s bugs #439959 and 456408 are
dealt with. One is fixed in CVS, the other pending.
