1 debbugs (2.4.2) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
4 - Add "package" command to service (control@) to limit the bugs that
5 the following commands apply to.
8 - Add (slightly) fancy CGI decoding of message/* MIME types.
9 - CGI scripts now support multiple maintainers for a single package.
10 - Add support for an X-Debbugs-No-Ack: mail header to suppress
12 - Document how to deliver mail to debbugs via procmail and SpamAssassin.
13 - Implement new .status format that's extensible and easier to read; it
14 now lives in .summary rather than .status. Use debbugs-upgradestatus
15 to convert existing bug databases.
16 - Implement bug ownership, with new 'owner' and 'noowner' commands and
17 Owner: pseudo-header (closes: #133453).
18 - Install Debian configuration in the binary package's examples
19 directory (closes: #222118).
20 - New standalone SpamAssassin queue runner, spamscan.
21 - Allow # prefix on bug numbers in 'merge' command.
22 - Fix some ordering issues in old-style package pages and summaries.
23 - Add X-$gProject-PR-Message: headers to all mails sent by service.
24 - debbugsconfig creates required directories in $gSpoolDir
26 - Decode RFC1522 mail headers for display in the web interface.
27 bugreport.cgi and pkgreport.cgi now output UTF-8.
28 - Properly support multiple submitter addresses on a single bug.
29 - Add a number of extra htmlsanit() calls to prevent cross-site
33 - Rewrite filtering in cgi's common.pl, to make it completely generic.
34 Filtering can now work against any field.
35 - Rewrite grouping logic in cgi's common.pl, to make it completely
36 generic. There is now no longer 2 nested loops, to do the grouping.
37 This makes adding new grouping levels simpler for the future.
38 - Add in a Table of Contents to pkgreport.cgi.
39 - Display how long until a resolved bug will be archived in
41 - Add user-agent detection. This currently doesn't change anything,
43 - Add options show_list_(head|foot)er.
47 - Don't remove the maintainer address if the message was sent by the
48 maintainer and we're submitting to maintonly (closes: #140061)
49 - Use uri_escape to escape URI's before sending them back out so the
50 name of the file doesn't munge the query string. [#301606 pt. 1]
51 - call decode_rfc1522 on the filename returned so that encoded
52 filenames get decoded to something "reasonable." (closes: #301606)
53 - We now require URI::Escape
54 - Added apache.conf to examples, which is a sample apache
55 configuration file which implements the rewrite rules that are
56 currently used on bugs.debian.org. (closes: #222264)
57 - Change spamscan.in to work with SA 3.0; This is an incompatible
58 change with SA 2.6, and as such, we now Suggests: spamassassin
59 (>=3.0) (closes: #290501)
60 - Update MTA to exim4 (closes: #228597) and add instructions on using
61 exim 4 (thanks to Marc Haber) (closes: #248335)
62 - Added per bug subscription support to debbugs, which relies on an
63 external MLM to actually deal with the requests; currently works with
64 eoc and sends messages to bugnum\@$gListDomain. (closes: #34071)
65 - Change bugreport.cgi to use Debbugs::Log and greately simplify the
66 process of outputing the bug log.
67 - All RFC1522 subject lines are decoded, both in the html information
68 and the message headers. All messages are converted to UTF-8 whereever
69 possible; all bugreport.cgi pages are now completely in UTF-8 to the
70 degree possible using Encode.pm (closes: #46848,#238984)
71 - Add a convert_to_utf8 function to Debbugs::Mime to make the above
72 possible; abstracts functionality that was already present in the
73 decode_rfc1522 fucntionality.
74 - Individual messages can now be downloaded from each bug report
76 - Uninteresting headers are now hidden by default, can be renabled
77 with &trim=no (closes: #188561)
78 - Fix postfix instructions in README.mail (thanks to Jeff Teunissen)
80 - Display old severity when changing severity (closes: #196947)
81 - All messages that originate from the BTS and either go to .log files
82 or out to users are now properly RFC1522 encoded. (closes: #306068)
83 - Add links to cloned bugs (closes: #217960) and forwarded records
84 that look like urls in the html records output by bugreport.cgi.
85 - Things that look like urls in message bodies are now linked
87 - Add Debbugs::Mail module that has two important functions:
88 send_mail_message and encode_headers. All mail handling in service.in
89 and process.in now uses send_mail_message to send mail messages which
90 tries as hard as possible to send a message; if it fails, only
91 warnings are returned. This fixes bad addresses causing sendmail to
92 exit and destroying the bug log. (closes: #191306)
93 - Add rudimentary Test::More modules for testing Debbugs::Mime and
95 - Allow X-debbugs-* to be set in pseudo headers. (closes: #179340)
96 - Obey X-Debbugs-No-Ack in control@ messages. (closes: #201825)
97 - Allow forwarded: and owner to be set at submit@ time.
99 - Fix example rewrite rules to allow for #1234 and foo+bar@baz.com
101 - Output proper charset for attachments (closes: #335813)
102 - Use MIME encodings to attach messages in close and done.
104 - Add a forcemerge command to service.in to allow forcibly merging
105 bugs which are in the same package. (closes: #286792)
106 - Make all packages lowercase to support packages with uppercase
107 names, even though that's insane. (closes: #67067)
108 - Change acknowledged to close (closes: #61341) and indicate who
109 actually closed the bug (closes: #355968, #132274)
110 - Fix the documentation of clone to indicate that you need at least
111 one newID (closes: #276747)
112 - Use create_mime_message to send all of the mails which may contain
113 UTF8 material. (closes: #364026)
114 - Add links to Closes: text for closed bugs. (closes: #320986)
115 - Add X-$gProject-PR-Source: line (closes: #219230)
116 - Use the %cats data structure properly in pkgreport.cgi
118 - Document nnn.*@foobar addresses (closes: #188670)
119 - Support cloned bugs in control blocking (closes: #337329)
120 - Indicate which bugs are blocked after blocking (closes: #367496)
121 - Obey package for usertags (closes: #376528)

130 - Display links to archived bugs for all searches (closes: #53710)
131 - Link to blocked bugs in the bugreport.cgi output (closes: #326077)
132 - Don't ask for more bugs if there is no maintainer (closes: #355190)
133 - Stop refering to developers on the index page (closes: #355786)
134 - Change control@ stop regex and documentation to match eachother
136 - Make it obvious when commands to control have failed
138 - Fix javascript error in pkgreport.cgi (closes: #346043)
139 - When a bug can't be found in control@; indicate to user that it may
140 be archived. (closes: #153536)
141 - my_url in pkgreport.cgi now returns the complete url (closes: #378566)
142 - Document precisely how forwarded works (closes: #228049)

191 debbugs (2.4) experimental; urgency=low
193 * Updating the package with what's in CVS, even though this might
194 completely break things for people who've been using the previous also
195 broken package. <shrug> :) Upped the minor version since the changes
196 are noticeable, and uploaded to experimental, just in case.
197 * Applied speedup patch, that uses references, instead of copies.
198 Thanks to Thomas Smith. Closes: #87176. [Adam]
199 * Reverted some parts of the speedup patch because it breaks the API.
201 * Bugs that are tagged fixed are now listed in a separate section in the
202 web pages. Patch from Colin Watson. Closes: #86922. [Adam]
203 * Added support for an additional Maintainers.override file, which is read
204 after the normal one. This allows the normal one to be externally
205 updated, but still have local overrides. [Adam]
206 * Put <title> and </title> on the same line as the title since some lame
207 browsers don't seem to like it otherwise. [Josip]
208 * Include a mailto: URI in the header for a bug report. [Adam]
209 * Added support for filtering on subject with include=subj:foo (exact
210 match, case sensitive). [Anthony]
211 * Added a missing http://, thanks to Julian Gilbey. [Anthony]
212 * Use by-*.idx indices to speed up pkgreport.cgi. [Anthony]
213 * Support "maint=" in pkgreport to give packages without a maintainer.
215 * Updated Postfix documentation. [Darren]
216 * Use two variables in order to reduce the amount of path hard-coding.
217 * Added support for storing the files in a hashed directory (db-h), with
218 the same hash layout as archive/. [Adam]
219 * Added support for tracing of bug state changes. This date is in
220 $gSpoolDir/debbugs.trace. It is locked (as debbugs.trace.lock) while
221 accessed, and appended to. Currently, nothing uses this trace file and
222 it isn't even cleaned up, which can be easily fixed with a simple cron
224 * Tell sendmail to queue outgoing mail for later delivery, instead of
225 immediate delivery. [Adam]
226 * Added a keywords header to outgoing email responses. [Adam]
227 * Use Resent-From: if From: doesn't exist. [Adam]
228 * Added appropriate Reply-To: lines for the ACK messages that could use
230 * Add $gUnknownMaintainerEmail to the list of maintainers to mail in case
231 an package with no maintainer is referenced. [Adam]
232 * processall locks 'incoming-cleaner' before starting, so we don't have
233 multiple copies of it running at the same time. [Adam]
234 * Sort bugs tagged 'pending' as 'pending upload', between 'forwarded' and
236 * Add support for searching by source package. pkgreport.cgi takes src=,
237 and both pkgreport.cgi and bugreport.cgi have enhanced HTML headers now.
239 * Add support in the CGIs for:
240 * 'raw' sorting. This does no grouping based on status or severity, and
241 just lists bugs in number order.
242 * reversing the order that bugs are displayed. This does not affect
243 severity or status ordering.
244 * inclusions/exclusions of status and severity. Also, support reverse
245 sorting of the above.
246 * Make it possible to ban people from control@bugs. [Anthony]
247 * Don't lie about missing Subject:s being an RFC822 violation, because
248 they aren't. [Anthony, Josip]
249 * Added preliminary support for ###-request. [Adam]
250 * Added preliminary fast indexing support. [Adam/Anthony (?)]
251 * Added preliminary support for CC:ing <src>@packages.qa.debian.org.
253 * Added preliminary cloning support. [Anthony]
254 * Link to submitter's web page, patch from Matt Kraai. [Josip]
255 * The autoconfig thing in the description is gone, closes: #124537.
256 * Fix viewing archived bugs by source package, closes: #121082, #146484.
258 * Depends: libmailtools-perl rather than mailtools, closes: #113028.
259 * Add MIME support to process and service, and depend on libmime-perl as a
260 result, closes: #36813. [Colin]
261 * Trim Bug#12345: from the Subject:, not "Bug#12345: [", closes: #78123.
263 * Be more careful about loop detection, closes: #113514. [Adam, Colin]
264 * Relax the syntax for 'tags' slightly, since people seem to use it that
265 way accidentally a lot, closes: #96164. [Colin]
266 * Give better feedback from pkgreport.cgi when querying a non-existent
267 package name, closes: #93433. [Colin]
268 * Remove support for -fixed address from receive, since nothing else
270 * Prevent people from reading the first line of arbitrary files through
271 bugreport.cgi, thanks to Max <rusmir@tula.net>. [Colin]
272 * Add working-for-me instructions for exim setup on non-dedicated sites,
273 together with Chad Miller's suggestions, closes: #78688. [Colin]
274 * Fix a few typos, closes: #146745, #152751.
275 * Update the copyright file with the current list of maintainers and a
277 * Remove lynx-cfg, and use 'lynx -cfg=/dev/null' instead. [Colin]
278 * Various other things, not worth mentioning here.

288 * Fixed the nextnumber misplacement (it should be in spool dir, not config
289 dir), and added a note about running debbugsconfig after changes to
290 config file, thanks to Rob for the hints. [Josip]
291 * Changed Maintainer: to point to debian-debbugs. Added myself to

307 stuff. Other fixes in common.pl. [Anthony]
308 * Moved some of the pkgreport.cgi logic from common.pl into pkgreport.cgi.
310 * Random typo fixes in the CGIs. [Anthony]
311 * Made the CGI scripts use the common.pl from their directory and not
312 /usr/lib/debbugs nor ~ajt/newajbug. That stuff should actually _work_
314 * Added bug subject and package name in closing messages. [Josip]
315 * Fixed errorlib filename (removed the .in part), this stuff should
316 actually _work_ now, argh. I shouldn't be repeating myself. [Josip]
317 * Escape +'s in URLs, closes: #75220. [Anthony]
318 * Skip checking for new installs or the config file, debbugsconfig needs
319 to regenerate the HTML, and it will detect existing conffiles. [Josip]
