New Chameleon templating engine, engine is now configurable. We now have two configurable templating engines, the old Zope TAL templates (called zopetal in the config) and the new Chameleon (called chameleon in the config). A new config-option "template_engine" under [main] can take these config-options, the default is zopetal. Thanks to Cheer Xiao for the idea of making this configurable *and* for the actual implementation! Cheer Xiao commit log: - The original TAL engine ported from Zope is thereafter referred to as "zopetal", in speech and in code - A new option "template_engine" under [main] introduced - Zopetal-specific code stripped from cgi/templating.py to form the new cgi/engine_zopetal.py - Interface to Chameleon in cgi/engine_chameleon.py - Engines are supposed to provide a Templates class that mimics the behavior of the old cgi.templating.Templates. The Templates class is preferably subclassed from cgi.templating.TemplatesBase. - New function cgi.templating.get_templates to get the appropriate engine's Templates instance according to the engine name

Roundup Issue Tracker
=====================

.. pypi-release:: roundup
   :prefix: Download
   :class: note

Roundup is a simple-to-use and -install issue-tracking system with command-line, web and e-mail interfaces. 
It is based on the winning design from Ka-Ping Yee in the Software Carpentry "Track" design competition.

The current stable version of Roundup is 1.4.x which has quite a comprehensive 
:doc:`feature set <docs/features>`. For more information see the :doc:`design overview <docs/design>`,
and all the other :doc:`documentation <docs>`. Roundup has been deployed for:

    * bug tracking and TODO list management (the classic installation)
    * customer help desk support (with a wizard for the phone answerers, linking to networking, 
      system and development issue trackers)
    * issue management for IETF working groups
    * sales lead tracking
    * conference paper submission and double-blind referee management
    * weblogging (well, almost :) 

...and so on. It's been designed with :doc:`flexibility <docs/customizing>` in mind - it's not just 
another bug tracker. Roundup ships with a *demo tracker* to play with - after you've unpacked the source, 
just run "python demo.py" and load up the URL it prints out!

Roundup was originally released as version 0.1.1 in late August, 2001. The first `change note`_ I wrote says:

    Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many Perl-based systems, to no avail.
    Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be released. Had just finished major product project, so needed
    something different for a while. Roundup here I come... 

So I've been working on this thing for nine years. Do you like Roundup? 
Want to say thanks? You can just send me a note (I always appreciate them) or better yet, `send me a gift`_ :)
