Add an interface to register clearCache callbacks in roundupdb.
Sometimes complicated computations may require an application cache.
This application can now register a callback to clear the application
cache, because roundup knows better when to clear it (usually when a
transaction ends, either with rollback or with commit). The interface
for this is currently considered experimental. The current interface
is registerClearCacheCallback(self, method, param) where method is
called with param as the only parameter.

| 4625 | 1 I'm proud to release version 1.4.20 of Roundup which can be seen as a |
| 2 security release. We've fixed several security issues, in particular | |
| 3 some XSS issues. We've also dropped support for python 2.4 with this | |
| 4 release. This release also introduces some minor features and, as usual, | |
| 5 fixes some bugs: | |

| 4625 | 9 - Experimental support for the new Chameleon templating engine. |
| 10 We now have two configurable templating engines, the old Zope TAL | |
| 11 templates (called zopetal in the config) and the new Chameleon (called | |
| 12 chameleon in the config). A new config-option "template_engine" under | |
| 13 [main] can take these config-options, the default is zopetal. | |
| 14 Thanks to Cheer Xiao for the idea of making this configurable *and* | |
| 15 for the actual implementation! (Ralf) | |
| 16 WARNING: Chameleon support is highly experimental and *not* recommended for | |
| 17 production use. It has known performance issues and i18n is not yet | |
| 18 functioning. It's still under active development. Only use this feature if | |
| 19 you want to experiment with Chameleon and/or help with Roundup | |
| 20 developement. If you found a bug in Chameleon support, please report after | |
| 21 testing against latest Roundup source from the Mercurial repository. | |
| 22 - issue2550678: Allow pagesize=-1 which returns all results. | |
| 23 Suggested and implemented by John Kristensen. | |
| 24 Tested by Satchidanand Haridas. (Bernhard) | |
| 25 - Allow to turn off translation of generated html options in menu method | |
| 26 of LinkHTMLProperty and MultilinkHTMLProperty -- default is | |
| 27 translation as it used to be (Ralf) | |
| 28 - Sending of OpenPGP encrypted mail to all users or selected users (via | |
| 29 roles) is now working. (Ralf) | |
| 30 - Add config-option "nosy" to messages_to_author setting in [nosy] | |
| 31 section of config: This will send a message to the author only | |
| 32 in the case where the author is on the nosy-list (either added | |
| 33 earlier or via the add_author setting). Current config-options | |
| 34 for this setting will send / not send to author without considering | |
| 35 the nosy list. (Ralf) | |

| 4625 | 39 - issue2550730: FAQ has broken link to Zope book. Reported and fixed by |

| 41 - issue2550728: remove buggy parentheses in TAL/DummyEngine.py. | |
| 42 Reported and fixed by Ralf Hemmecke. (Bernhard) | |
| 43 - issue2550715: IndexError when requesting non-existing file via http. | |
| 44 Reported and fixed by Cedric Krier. (Bernhard) | |
| 45 - issue2550712: exportcsvaction errors poorly when given invalid columns. | |
| 46 Reported by Will Kahn-Greene, fixed by Cedric Krier. (Bernhard) | |
| 47 - issue2550695: 'No sort or group' settings not retained when editing queries. | |
| 48 Reported and fixed by John Kristensen. Tested by Satchidanand Haridas. | |
| 49 (Bernhard) | |
| 50 - Fix matching of incoming email addresses to the alternate_addresses | |
| 51 field of a user -- this would match substrings, e.g. if the user has | |
| 52 discuss-support@example.com as an alternate email and an incoming mail | |
| 53 is addressed to support@example.com this would (wrongly) match. (Ralf) | |
| 54 - issue2550729: Fix password history display for anydbm backend, thanks | |
| 55 to Ralf Hemmecke for reporting. (Ralf) | |
| 56 - OpenPGP support is again working (pyme API has changed significantly) and | |
| 57 we now have a regression test. We now take care that bounce-messages | |
| 58 for incoming encrypted mails or mails where the policy dictates that | |
| 59 outgoing traffic should be encrypted is actually OpenPGP encrypted. (Ralf) | |
| 60 - Ignore confirm set() fields by themselves in the absence of non-"confirm" | |
| 61 values; otherwise a bare confirm field can be used to change the a | |
| 62 password. Reported by Cam Blackwood. (Ralf) | |
| 63 - Updated version of simplified Chinese message file by Cheer Xiao: | |
| 64 Corrected some mistakes, added a few more items and did some | |
| 65 formating. (Ralf) | |
| 66 - Fix xmlrpc URL parsing so that passwords may contain a ':' character | |

| 4625 | 68 - Be more tolerant when parsing RFC2047 encoded mail headers. Use |

| 72 - issue2550684 Fix XSS vulnerability when username contains HTML code, | |
| 73 thanks to Thomas Arendsen Hein for reporting and patch. (Ralf) | |
| 74 - issue2550711 Fix XSS vulnerability in @action parameter, | |
| 75 thanks to "om" for reporting. (Ralf) | |
| 76 - issue2550535 In some cases even when keep_quoted_text=yes is | |
| 77 configured we would strip quoted sections. This hit the python | |
| 78 bug-tracker especially for python interpreter examples with leading | |
| 79 '>>>' strings. The fix is slightly different compared to the proposal | |
| 80 as this broke keep_quoted_text=no in certain cases. We also fix a bug | |
| 81 where keep_quoted_text=no would drop the last line of a non-quoted | |
| 82 section if there wasn't an empty line between the next quotes. (Ralf) | |
| 83 - issue2431638 wrong registration link in bounce mail for non-registered | |
| 84 users reported *years* ago by anonymous (Ralf) | |

| 86 wrong block structure. Fix .gitignore in doc directory. Thanks to | |
| 87 Cheer Xiao for the patches. (Ralf) | |
| 88 - Fix wrong execute permissions on some files, thanks to Cheer Xiao for | |
| 89 the patch. (Ralf) | |
| 90 - Fix override of TemplatingUtils in instance.py, thanks to Cheer Xiao | |
| 91 for the patch. (Ralf) | |

| 93 reporting. (Ralf) | |
| 94 - Mark cookies HttpOnly and -- if https is used -- secure. Fixes | |
| 95 issue2550689, but is untested if this really works in browsers. | |
| 96 Thanks to Joseph Myers for reporting. (Ralf) | |
| 97 - Fix another XSS with the ok- and error message, see issue2550724. We | |
| 98 solve this differently from the proposals in the bug-report by not | |
| 99 allowing *any* html-tags in ok/error messages anymore. Thanks to | |
| 100 David Benjamin for the bug-report and to Ezio Melotti for several | |
| 101 proposed fixes. (Ralf) | |
