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)
122 - Add link to subscribe to a bug (closes: #353260)
123 - Don't lc owner or forwarded at submit time (closes: #288384)
124 - Explain how to close bugs in the ack message (closes: #37605)
125 - Make the moreinfo ack more general (closes: #70810)
126 - Use RFC compliant dates in headers (closes: #362935)

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

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

284 * Moved some of the pkgreport.cgi logic from common.pl into pkgreport.cgi.
286 * Random typo fixes in the CGIs. [Anthony]
287 * Made the CGI scripts use the common.pl from their directory and not
288 /usr/lib/debbugs nor ~ajt/newajbug. That stuff should actually _work_
290 * Added bug subject and package name in closing messages. [Josip]
291 * Fixed errorlib filename (removed the .in part), this stuff should

293 * Escape +'s in URLs, closes: #75220. [Anthony]
294 * Skip checking for new installs or the config file, debbugsconfig needs
295 to regenerate the HTML, and it will detect existing conffiles. [Josip]
