# $Log: not supported by cvs2svn $
# Revision 1.24  2001/10/10 03:54:57  richard
# Added database importing and exporting through CSV files.
# Uses the csv module from object-craft for exporting if it's available.
# Requires the csv module for importing.
#
# Revision 1.23  2001/10/09 23:58:10  richard
# Moved the data stringification up into the hyperdb.Class class' get, set
# and create methods. This means that the data is also stringified for the
# journal call, and removes duplication of code from the backends. The
# backend code now only sees strings.
#
# Revision 1.22  2001/10/09 07:25:59  richard
# Added the Password property type. See "pydoc roundup.password" for
# implementation details. Have updated some of the documentation too.
#
# Revision 1.21  2001/10/05 02:23:24  richard
#  . 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.
#  . 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.
#  . Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
#    Ping - has been removed.
#  . 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.
#
# Revision 1.20  2001/10/04 02:12:42  richard
# Added nicer command-line item adding: passing no arguments will enter an
# interactive more which asks for each property in turn. While I was at it, I
# fixed an implementation problem WRT the spec - I wasn't raising a
# ValueError if the key property was missing from a create(). Also added a
# protected=boolean argument to getprops() so we can list only the mutable
# properties (defaults to yes, which lists the immutables).
#
# Revision 1.19  2001/08/29 04:47:18  richard
# Fixed CGI client change messages so they actually include the properties
# changed (again).
#
# Revision 1.18  2001/08/16 07:34:59  richard
# better CGI text searching - but hidden filter fields are disappearing...
#
# Revision 1.17  2001/08/16 06:59:58  richard
# all searches use re now - and they're all case insensitive
#
# Revision 1.16  2001/08/15 23:43:18  richard
# Fixed some isFooTypes that I missed.
# Refactored some code in the CGI code.
#
# Revision 1.15  2001/08/12 06:32:36  richard
# using isinstance(blah, Foo) now instead of isFooType
#
# Revision 1.14  2001/08/07 00:24:42  richard
# stupid typo
#
# Revision 1.13  2001/08/07 00:15:51  richard
# Added the copyright/license notice to (nearly) all files at request of
# Bizar Software.
#
# Revision 1.12  2001/08/02 06:38:17  richard
# Roundupdb now appends "mailing list" information to its messages which
# include the e-mail address and web interface address. Templates may
# override this in their db classes to include specific information (support
# instructions, etc).
#
# Revision 1.11  2001/08/01 04:24:21  richard
# mailgw was assuming certain properties existed on the issues being created.
#
# Revision 1.10  2001/07/30 02:38:31  richard
# get() now has a default arg - for migration only.
#
# Revision 1.9  2001/07/29 09:28:23  richard
# Fixed sorting by clicking on column headings.
#
# Revision 1.8  2001/07/29 08:27:40  richard
# Fixed handling of passed-in values in form elements (ie. during a
# drill-down)
#
# Revision 1.7  2001/07/29 07:01:39  richard
# Added vim command to all source so that we don't get no steenkin' tabs :)
#
# Revision 1.6  2001/07/29 05:36:14  richard
# Cleanup of the link label generation.
#
# Revision 1.5  2001/07/29 04:05:37  richard
# Added the fabricated property "id".
#
# Revision 1.4  2001/07/27 06:25:35  richard
# Fixed some of the exceptions so they're the right type.
# Removed the str()-ification of node ids so we don't mask oopsy errors any
# more.
#
# Revision 1.3  2001/07/27 05:17:14  richard
# just some comments
#
# Revision 1.2  2001/07/22 12:09:32  richard
