Roundup issue tracker 2.3.0 released
by John P. Rouillard July 13, 2023

July 13, 2023

I'm proud to release version 2.3.0 of the Roundup issue tracker. This release is a bugfix and feature release, so make sure to read `docs/upgrading.txt <https://www.roundup-tracker.org/docs/upgrading.html>`_ to bring your tracker up to date. The changes, as usual, include some new features and many bug fixes. Note that you should run ``roundup-admin ... migrate`` to update the database schema version. Do this before you use the web, command-line or mail interface and before any users … [View More]access the tracker. You can download it with:: pip download roundup then unpack and test/install the tarball. Also:: pip install roundup (preferably in a virtual environment) can be used. Among the notable improvements from the 2.2.0 release are: * Dockerfile demo mode implemented. This allows quick evaluation as well as the ability to spin up a configured tracker to customise. * SQLite backends can use WAL mode to reduce blocking between readers and writers improving concurrent use. * Redis can be used for session database with SQLite and dbm backends. Provides a major performance improvement. * roundup-mailgw can use OAUTH authentication to SMTP server. (roundup-mailgw command line options changed as a result.) * Postgres full text index can now be enabled. * Modifications to in-reply-to threading when there are multiple matches resulting in more predictable handling of messages. * Many updates to documentation to make it scannable, useful and work on mobile. * Admin documentation includes a section on setting up Content Security Policy (CSP) to better secure your Roundup trackers. * REST now allows rate limiting headers to be accessed by client JavaScript. * Default number of rounds for PBKDF2 updated to 2M to account for improvements in password crackers and CPU power. * Support PBKDF2 with SHA512 for password storage to improve resistance to password crackers. * Deprecate SSHA password hash function. * roundup-admin reindex can be done in batches to manage load incurred by reindexing. * roundup-admin can list available templates and their installed locations. This is useful when installing via pip or in a docker container as supporting files are not stored in the usual locations like /usr/share/roundup. * Crash fixes in detector handling The file CHANGES.txt has a detailed list of feature additions and bug fixes (53) for each release. The most recent changes from there are at the end of this announcement. Also see the information in doc/upgrading.txt. If you find bugs, please report them to issues AT roundup-tracker.org or create an account at https://issues.roundup-tracker.org and open a new ticket. If you have patches to fix the issues they can be attached to the email or uploaded to the tracker. Upgrading ========= If you're upgrading from an older version of Roundup you *must* follow all the "Software Upgrade" guidelines given in the doc/upgrading.txt documentation. Note that you should run ``roundup-admin ... migrate`` for all your trackers to update the database schema version. Do this before you use the web, command-line or mail interface and before any users access the tracker. Roundup requires Python 2 newer than version 2.7.12 or Python 3 newer than or equal to version 3.6 for correct operation. (Python 3.4 or 3.5 may work, but are not tested.) Note that Python 2 support is being removed from the CI platforms, so you should deploy new trackers with Python 3 and plan on upgrading older trackers from Python 2 to Python 3. See the upgrade guide. To give Roundup a try, just download (directions above), unpack and run:: python demo.py then open the url printed by the demo app. Release info and download page: https://pypi.org/project/roundup Source and documentation is available at the website: https://www.roundup-tracker.org/ Mailing lists - the place to ask questions: https://sourceforge.net/p/roundup/mailman/ About Roundup ============= 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. Note: Ping is not responsible for this project. The contact for this project is rouilj at users.sourceforge.net. Use this address for security or other sensitive issues. Development discussions occur on the roundup-devel at lists.sourceforge.net mailing list. Tickets can be opened at https://issues.roundup-tracker.org. Roundup manages a number of issues (with flexible properties such as "description", "priority", and so on) and provides the ability to: (a) submit new issues, (b) find and edit existing issues, and (c) discuss issues with other participants. The system facilitates communication among the participants by managing discussions and notifying interested parties when issues are edited. One of the major design goals for Roundup that it be simple to get going. Roundup is therefore usable "out of the box" with any Python 2.7.2+ (or 3.6+) installation. It doesn't even need to be "installed" to be operational, though an install script is provided. It comes with five basic issue tracker templates * a classic bug/feature tracker * a more extensive devel tracker for bug/features etc. * a responsive version of the devel tracker * a jinja2 version of the devel template (work in progress) * a minimal skeleton and supports four database back-ends (anydbm, sqlite, mysql and postgresql). Recent Changes ============== See changelog at: https://sourceforge.net/p/roundup/code/ci/default/tree/CHANGES.txt [View Less]

[RELEASE] Python 3.12.0 beta 4 released
by Thomas Wouters July 11, 2023

July 11, 2023

Not much time left! I’ve released 3.12.0 beta 4. We’re now in the run-up to rc1, so keep that in mind when you backport to the 3.12 branch. https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3120b4/ *This is a beta preview of Python 3.12* Python 3.12 is still in development. This release, 3.12.0b4, is the final of four beta release previews of 3.12. Beta release previews are intended to give the wider community the opportunity to test new features and bug fixes and to prepare their projects to … [View More]support the new feature release. We *strongly encourage* maintainers of third-party Python projects to *test with 3.12* during the beta phase and report issues found to the Python bug tracker <https://github.com/python/cpython/issues> as soon as possible. While the release is planned to be feature complete entering the beta phase, it is possible that features may be modified or, in rare cases, deleted up until the start of the release candidate phase (Monday, 2023-07-31). Our goal is to have no ABI changes after this release, and as few code changes as possible after 3.12.0rc1, the first release candidate. To achieve that, it will be *extremely important* to get as much exposure for 3.12 as possible during the beta phase. Please keep in mind that this is a preview release and its use is *not *recommended for production environments. *Major new features of the 3.12 series, compared to 3.11* Some of the new major new features and changes in Python 3.12 are: - New type annotation syntax for generic classes (PEP 695 <https://peps.python.org/pep-0695/>). - More flexible f-string parsing, allowing many things previously disallowed (PEP 701 <https://peps.python.org/pep-0701/>). - Support for the buffer protocol in Python code (PEP 688 <https://peps.python.org/pep-0688/>). - Even more improved error messages. More exceptions potentially caused by typos now make suggestions to the user. - Many large and small performance improvements (like PEP 709 <https://peps.python.org/pep-0709/>). - Support for the Linux perf profiler to report Python function names in traces. - The deprecated wstr and wstr_length members of the C implementation of unicode objects were removed, per PEP 623 <https://peps.python.org/pep-0623/>. - In the unittest module, a number of long deprecated methods and classes were removed. (They had been deprecated since Python 3.1 or 3.2). - The deprecated smtpd and distutils modules have been removed (see PEP 594 <https://peps.python.org/pep-0594/> and PEP 632 <https://peps.python.org/pep-0632/>. The setuptools package continues to provide the distutils module. - A number of other old, broken and deprecated functions, classes and methods have been removed. - Invalid backslash escape sequences in strings now warn with SyntaxWarning instead of DeprecationWarning, making them more visible. (They will become syntax errors in the future.) - The internal representation of integers has changed in preparation for performance enhancements. (This should not affect most users as it is an internal detail, but it may cause problems for Cython-generated code.) - (Hey, fellow core developer, if a feature you find important is missing from this list, let Thomas know <thomas(a)python.org>.) For more details on the changes to Python 3.12, see What’s new in Python 3.12 <https://docs.python.org/3.12/whatsnew/3.12.html>. The next pre-release of Python 3.12 will be 3.12.0rc1, the *first release candidate*, currently scheduled for 2023-07-31. *More resources* Online Documentation <https://docs.python.org/3.12/>. PEP 693 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0693/>, the Python 3.12 Release Schedule. Report bugs via GitHub Issues <https://github.com/python/cpython/issues>. Help fund Python and its community <https://www.python.org/psf/donations/>. *We hope you enjoy the new releases!* Thanks to all of the many volunteers who help make Python Development and these releases possible! Please consider supporting our efforts by volunteering yourself or through organization contributions to the Python Software Foundation <https://www.python.org/psf-landing/>. Regards from the alternating thunderstorms and heat waves in Amsterdam, Thomas Wouters. Your release team, Ned Deily Steve Dower Łukasz Langa -- Thomas Wouters <thomas(a)python.org> [View Less]
