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.

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)

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)

233 debbugs (2.4.1) unstable; urgency=low
236 - Exit the CGI scripts straight away if the HTTP method is HEAD, to save
238 - Display pending+fixed bugs as "fixed in NMU", not "pending upload".
239 - Add a man page for debbugsconfig.
240 - Report original tags when changing them, closes: #170630.
241 - Add missing <ul></ul> tags to db2html's output, closes: #50746.
242 - Add a 'submitter' command to service, based on a patch by Matt Kraai.
243 - Remove the final use of cgi-lib.pl, so it's gone. Remove copyright
244 notices that were there due to using it.
245 - Accept ';' as well as '&' as a CGI argument separator.
246 - db2html now works with the new hashed database layout.
247 - Disable the fixed severity in favour of the tag.
248 - MIME-encoded messages to bugs are displayed in decoded form on the web
249 interface (unless the "mime=no" parameter is used), closes: #136114.
250 - Add facility to search by tag.
251 - Fix rebuild script and add it to the example crontab, closes: #139696.
252 - Silence postinst warning if spool/db doesn't exist, closes: #194892.
253 - Clean up the definition and use of $gCGIDomain, closes: #139697.

256 it duplicated everywhere.
257 - Trim trailing whitespace from pseudoheader values. Closes: #153590.
258 - Warn when reassigning to an unknown package. Closes: #60595.
260 - Added a terse=yes mode for bugreport.cgi, possibly useful for

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

338 * Be more careful about loop detection, closes: #113514. [Adam, Colin]
339 * Relax the syntax for 'tags' slightly, since people seem to use it that
340 way accidentally a lot, closes: #96164. [Colin]
341 * Give better feedback from pkgreport.cgi when querying a non-existent
342 package name, closes: #93433. [Colin]
343 * Remove support for -fixed address from receive, since nothing else
345 * Prevent people from reading the first line of arbitrary files through
346 bugreport.cgi, thanks to Max <rusmir@tula.net>. [Colin]
347 * Add working-for-me instructions for exim setup on non-dedicated sites,
348 together with Chad Miller's suggestions, closes: #78688. [Colin]
349 * Fix a few typos, closes: #146745, #152751.
