| 1 I'm proud to release version 1.4.17 of Roundup which introduces some | 1 This is the announcement of version 1.4.18 of Roundup, a Bug-Fix Release |
| 2 minor features and, as usual, fixes some bugs: | 2 for a critical bug in roundups mail gateway. |
| 3 The bug will lead to files being unlinked from issues when mails without | |
| 4 attachment are received for an existing issue. See the "Software | |
| 5 Upgrade" guidelines in doc/announcement.txt (or the html version) for a | |
| 6 script you can run to find out potentially affected issues and how to | |
| 7 fix this. As usual some minor features and some bug fixes: | |
| 3 | 8 |
| 4 Features: | 9 Features: |
| 5 | 10 |
| 6 - Allow declaration of default_values for properties in schema. | 11 - Norwegian Bokmal translation by Christian Aastorp |
| 7 - Add explicit "Search" permissions, see Security Fix below. | 12 - Allow to specify additional cc and bcc emails (not roundup users) for |
| 8 - Add "lookup" method to xmlrpc interface (Ralf Schlatterbeck) | 13 nosymessage used by the nosyreaction reactor. (Ralf) |
| 9 - Multilinks can be filtered by combining elements with AND, OR and NOT | |
| 10 operators now. A javascript gui was added for "keywords", see issue2550648. | |
| 11 Developed by Sascha Teichmann; funded by Intevation. (Bernhard Reiter) | |
| 12 - Factor MailGW message parsing into a separate class, thanks to John | |
| 13 Kristensen who did the major work in issue2550576 -- I wouldn't | |
| 14 have attempted it without this. Fixes issue2550576. (Ralf) | |
| 15 - Now if the -C option to roundup-mailgw specifies "issue" this refers | |
| 16 to an issue-like class. The real class is determined from the | |
| 17 configured default class, or the -c option to the mailgw, or the class | |
| 18 resulting from mail subject parsing. We also accept multiple -S | |
| 19 options for the same class now. (Ralf) | |
| 20 - Optimisation: Late evaluation of Multilinks (only in rdbms backends): | |
| 21 previously we materialized each multilink in a Node -- this creates an | |
| 22 SQL query for each multilink (e.g. 'files' and 'messages' for each | |
| 23 line in the issue index display) -- even if the multilinks aren't | |
| 24 displayed. Now we compute multilinks only if they're accessed (and | |
| 25 keep them cached). | |
| 26 - Add a filter_iter similar to the existing filter call. This feature is | |
| 27 considered experimental. This is currently not used in the | |
| 28 web-interface but passes all tests for the filter call except sorting | |
| 29 by Multilinks (which isn't supported by SQL and isn't a sane concept | |
| 30 anyway). When using filter_iter instead of filter this saves a *lot* | |
| 31 of SQL queries: Filter returns only the IDs of Nodes in the database, | |
| 32 the additional content of a Node has to be fetched in a separate SQL | |
| 33 call. The new filter_iter also returns the IDs of Nodes (one by one, | |
| 34 it's an iterator) but pre-seeds the cache with the content of the | |
| 35 Node. The information needed for seeding the cache is retrieved in the | |
| 36 same SQL query as the ids. | |
| 37 | 14 |
| 38 Fixed: | 15 Fixed: |
| 39 | 16 |
| 40 - Security Fix: Add a check for search-permissions: now we allow | 17 - Fix file-unlink bug in mailgw (Ralfs oversight when refactoring the mail |
| 41 searching for properties only if the property is readable without a | 18 gateway code) -- if a message is sent that contains no attachments, |
| 42 check method or if an explicit search permission (see above unter | 19 all previous files of the issue are unlinked, thanks to Rafal |
| 43 "Features) is given for the property. This fixes cases where a user | 20 Bisingier for reporting and proposing a fix. |
| 44 doesn't have access to a property but can deduce the content by | 21 I've now added a regression test that catches this issue. |
| 45 crafting a clever search, group or sort query. | |
| 46 see doc/upgrading.txt for how to fix your trackers! (Ralf Schlatterbeck). | |
| 47 - Range support in roundup-server so large files can be served, | |
| 48 e.g. media files on iOS/iPads; issue2550694. (Bernhard Reiter; | |
| 49 Thanks to Jon C. Thomason for the patch.) | |
| 50 - Fix search for xapian 1.2 issue2550676 | |
| 51 (Bernhard Reiter; Thanks to Olly Betts for providing the patch.) | |
| 52 - Some minor typos fixed in doc/customizing.txt (Thanks Ralf Hemmecke). | |
| 53 - XML-RPC documentation now linked from the docs/index (Bernhard Reiter). | |
| 54 - Fix setting of sys.path when importing schema.py, fixes issue2550675, | |
| 55 thanks to Bryce L Nordgren for reporting. (Ralf Schlatterbeck) | |
| 56 - clear the cache on commit for rdbms backends: Don't carry over cached | |
| 57 values from one transaction to the next (there may be other changes | |
| 58 from other transactions) see new ConcurrentDBTest for a | |
| 59 read-modify-update cycle that fails with the old caching behavior. | |
| 60 (Ralf Schlatterbeck) | |
| 61 - Fix incorrect setting of template in customizing.txt example action, | |
| 62 patch via issue2550682 (thanks John Kristensen) | |
| 63 - Configuration issue: On some postgresql 8.4 installations (notably on | |
| 64 debian squeeze) the default template database used for database | |
| 65 creation doesn't match the needed character encoding UTF8 -- a new | |
| 66 config option 'template' in the rdbms section now allows specification | |
| 67 of the template. You know you need this option if you get the error | |
| 68 message: | |
| 69 psycopg2.DataError: new encoding (UTF8) is incompatible with the | |
| 70 encoding of the template database (SQL_ASCII) | |
| 71 HINT: Use the same encoding as in the template database, or use | |
| 72 template0 as template. | |
| 73 (Ralf Schlatterbeck) | |
| 74 - Fixed bug in mailgw refactoring, patch issue2550697 (thanks Hubert | |
| 75 Touvet) | |
| 76 - Fix Password handling security issue2550688 (thanks Joseph Myers for | |
| 77 reporting and Eli Collins for fixing) -- this fixes all observations | |
| 78 by Joseph Myers except for auto-migration of existing passwords. | |
| 79 - Add new config-option 'migrate_passwords' in section 'web' to | |
| 80 auto-migrate passwords at web-login time. Default for the new option | |
| 81 is "yes" so if you don't want that passwords are auto-migrated to a | |
| 82 more secure password scheme on user login, set this to "no" before | |
| 83 running your tracker(s) after the upgrade. | |
| 84 - Add new config-option 'password_pbkdf2_default_rounds' in 'main' | |
| 85 section to configure the default parameter for new password | |
| 86 generation. Set this to a higher value on faster systems which want | |
| 87 more security. Thanks to Eli Collins for implementing this (see | |
| 88 issue2550688). | |
| 89 - Fix documentation for roundup-server about the 'host' parameter as | |
| 90 suggested in issue2550693, fixes the first part of this issue. Make | |
| 91 'localhost' the new default for this parameter, note the upgrading | |
| 92 documentation of changed behaviour. We also deprecate the empty host | |
| 93 parameter for binding to all interfaces now (still left in for | |
| 94 compatibility). Thanks to Toni Mueller for providing the first version | |
| 95 of this patch and discussing implementations. | |
| 96 - Fixed bug in filter_iter refactoring (lazy multilinks), in rare cases | |
| 97 this would result in duplicate multilinks to the same node. We're now | |
| 98 going the safe route and doing lazy evaluation only for read-only | |
| 99 access, whenever updates are done we fetch everything. | |
