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.

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...
