Roundup Issue Tracker
=====================
.. raw:: html
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 2.0.0 which has quite a
comprehensive :doc:`feature set ` compared to the last
stable release (v1.6.1). These features include:
* Python 2 and Python 3 support
* a new REST interface
* updates to jinja2 templates including security improvements
The current latest release is 2.1.0beta1.
For more information see the :doc:`design overview `, and
all the other :doc:`documentation `. 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
` 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...
