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 $gSpoolDir
26 * Decode RFC1522 mail headers for display in the web interface.
27 bugreport.cgi and pkgreport.cgi now output UTF-8.
28 * Properly support multiple submitter addresses on a single bug.
29 * Add a number of extra htmlsanit() calls to prevent cross-site
33 * Rewrite filtering in cgi's common.pl, to make it completely generic.
34 Filtering can now work against any field.
35 * Rewrite grouping logic in cgi's common.pl, to make it completely
36 generic. There is now no longer 2 nested loops, to do the grouping.
37 This makes adding new grouping levels simpler for the future.
38 * Add in a Table of Contents to pkgreport.cgi.
39 * Display how long until a resolved bug will be archived in
41 * Add user-agent detection. This currently doesn't change anything,
43 * Add options show_list_(head|foot)er.
46 * Don't remove the maintainer address if the message was sent by the
47 maintainer and we're submitting to maintonly (closes: #140061)
48 * Use uri_escape to escape URI's before sending them back out so the
49 name of the file doesn't munge the query string. [#301606 pt. 1]
50 * call decode_rfc1522 on the filename returned so that encoded
51 filenames get decoded to something "reasonable." (closes: #301606)
52 * We now require URI::Escape
53 * Added apache.conf to examples, which is a sample apache
54 configuration file which implements the rewrite rules that are
55 currently used on bugs.debian.org. (closes: #222264)
56 * Change spamscan.in to work with SA 3.0; This is an incompatible
57 change with SA 2.6, and as such, we now Suggests: spamassassin
58 (>=3.0) (closes: #290501)
59 * Update MTA to exim4 (closes: #228597) and add instructions on using
60 exim 4 (thanks to Marc Haber) (closes: #248335)
61 * Added per bug subscription support to debbugs, which relies on an
62 external MLM to actually deal with the requests; currently works with
63 eoc and sends messages to bugnum\@$gListDomain. (closes: #34071)
64 * Change bugreport.cgi to use Debbugs::Log and greately simplify the
65 process of outputing the bug log.
66 * All RFC1522 subject lines are decoded, both in the html information
67 and the message headers. All messages are converted to UTF-8 whereever
68 possible; all bugreport.cgi pages are now completely in UTF-8 to the
69 degree possible using Encode.pm (closes: #46848,#238984)
70 * Add a convert_to_utf8 function to Debbugs::Mime to make the above
71 possible; abstracts functionality that was already present in the
72 decode_rfc1522 fucntionality.
73 * Individual messages can now be downloaded from each bug report
75 * Uninteresting headers are now hidden by default, can be renabled
76 with &trim=no (closes: #188561)

81 or out to users are now properly RFC1522 encoded. (closes: #306068)
82 * Add links to cloned bugs (closes: #217960) and forwarded records
83 that look like urls in the html records output by bugreport.cgi.
84 * Things that look like urls in message bodies are now linked
86 * Add Debbugs::Mail module that has two important functions:
87 send_mail_message and encode_headers. All mail handling in service.in
88 and process.in now uses send_mail_message to send mail messages which
89 tries as hard as possible to send a message; if it fails, only
90 warnings are returned. This fixes bad addresses causing sendmail to
91 exit and destroying the bug log. (closes: #191306)
92 * Add rudimentary Test::More modules for testing Debbugs::Mime and
94 * Allow X-debbugs-* to be set in pseudo headers. (closes: #179340)

106 names, even though that's insane. (closes: #67067)
107 * Change acknowledged to close (closes: #61341) and indicate who
108 actually closed the bug (closes: #355968, #132274)
109 * Fix the documentation of clone to indicate that you need at least
110 one newID (closes: #276747)
111 * Use create_mime_message to send all of the mails which may contain
112 UTF8 material. (closes: #364026)
113 * Add links to Closes: text for closed bugs. (closes: #320986)

227 debbugs (2.4.1) unstable; urgency=low
230 - Exit the CGI scripts straight away if the HTTP method is HEAD, to save

236 - Add a 'submitter' command to service, based on a patch by Matt Kraai.
237 - Remove the final use of cgi-lib.pl, so it's gone. Remove copyright
238 notices that were there due to using it.
239 - Accept ';' as well as '&' as a CGI argument separator.
240 - db2html now works with the new hashed database layout.
241 - Disable the fixed severity in favour of the tag.
242 - MIME-encoded messages to bugs are displayed in decoded form on the web
243 interface (unless the "mime=no" parameter is used), closes: #136114.
244 - Add facility to search by tag.
245 - Fix rebuild script and add it to the example crontab, closes: #139696.

260 debbugs (2.4) experimental; urgency=low
262 * Updating the package with what's in CVS, even though this might
263 completely break things for people who've been using the previous also
264 broken package. <shrug> :) Upped the minor version since the changes
265 are noticeable, and uploaded to experimental, just in case.
266 * Applied speedup patch, that uses references, instead of copies.
267 Thanks to Thomas Smith. Closes: #87176. [Adam]
268 * Reverted some parts of the speedup patch because it breaks the API.
270 * Bugs that are tagged fixed are now listed in a separate section in the
271 web pages. Patch from Colin Watson. Closes: #86922. [Adam]
272 * Added support for an additional Maintainers.override file, which is read
273 after the normal one. This allows the normal one to be externally
274 updated, but still have local overrides. [Adam]
275 * Put <title> and </title> on the same line as the title since some lame
276 browsers don't seem to like it otherwise. [Josip]
277 * Include a mailto: URI in the header for a bug report. [Adam]
278 * Added support for filtering on subject with include=subj:foo (exact
279 match, case sensitive). [Anthony]
280 * Added a missing http://, thanks to Julian Gilbey. [Anthony]
281 * Use by-*.idx indices to speed up pkgreport.cgi. [Anthony]
282 * Support "maint=" in pkgreport to give packages without a maintainer.
284 * Updated Postfix documentation. [Darren]
285 * Use two variables in order to reduce the amount of path hard-coding.
286 * Added support for storing the files in a hashed directory (db-h), with
287 the same hash layout as archive/. [Adam]
288 * Added support for tracing of bug state changes. This date is in
289 $gSpoolDir/debbugs.trace. It is locked (as debbugs.trace.lock) while
290 accessed, and appended to. Currently, nothing uses this trace file and
291 it isn't even cleaned up, which can be easily fixed with a simple cron
293 * Tell sendmail to queue outgoing mail for later delivery, instead of
294 immediate delivery. [Adam]
295 * Added a keywords header to outgoing email responses. [Adam]
296 * Use Resent-From: if From: doesn't exist. [Adam]
297 * Added appropriate Reply-To: lines for the ACK messages that could use
299 * Add $gUnknownMaintainerEmail to the list of maintainers to mail in case
300 an package with no maintainer is referenced. [Adam]
301 * processall locks 'incoming-cleaner' before starting, so we don't have
302 multiple copies of it running at the same time. [Adam]
303 * Sort bugs tagged 'pending' as 'pending upload', between 'forwarded' and
305 * Add support for searching by source package. pkgreport.cgi takes src=,
306 and both pkgreport.cgi and bugreport.cgi have enhanced HTML headers now.
308 * Add support in the CGIs for:
309 * 'raw' sorting. This does no grouping based on status or severity, and
310 just lists bugs in number order.
311 * reversing the order that bugs are displayed. This does not affect
312 severity or status ordering.
313 * inclusions/exclusions of status and severity. Also, support reverse
314 sorting of the above.
315 * Make it possible to ban people from control@bugs. [Anthony]
316 * Don't lie about missing Subject:s being an RFC822 violation, because
317 they aren't. [Anthony, Josip]
318 * Added preliminary support for ###-request. [Adam]
319 * Added preliminary fast indexing support. [Adam/Anthony (?)]
320 * Added preliminary support for CC:ing <src>@packages.qa.debian.org.
322 * Added preliminary cloning support. [Anthony]
323 * Link to submitter's web page, patch from Matt Kraai. [Josip]
324 * The autoconfig thing in the description is gone, closes: #124537.
325 * Fix viewing archived bugs by source package, closes: #121082, #146484.
327 * Depends: libmailtools-perl rather than mailtools, closes: #113028.

329 result, closes: #36813. [Colin]
330 * Trim Bug#12345: from the Subject:, not "Bug#12345: [", closes: #78123.
332 * Be more careful about loop detection, closes: #113514. [Adam, Colin]
333 * Relax the syntax for 'tags' slightly, since people seem to use it that
334 way accidentally a lot, closes: #96164. [Colin]
335 * Give better feedback from pkgreport.cgi when querying a non-existent
336 package name, closes: #93433. [Colin]
337 * Remove support for -fixed address from receive, since nothing else
339 * Prevent people from reading the first line of arbitrary files through
340 bugreport.cgi, thanks to Max <rusmir@tula.net>. [Colin]
341 * Add working-for-me instructions for exim setup on non-dedicated sites,
342 together with Chad Miller's suggestions, closes: #78688. [Colin]
343 * Fix a few typos, closes: #146745, #152751.
344 * Update the copyright file with the current list of maintainers and a
