Big stuff in this release: - online demo at http://mechanicalcat.net/cgi-bin/roundup.cgi - fast full-text searching of messages - other speedups - bsddb3 backend is re-enabled - instance initialisation is a two-step process now, making mods easier - optionally auto-add the author and recipients of messages to the nosy - enhancements to make multilink editing through the web and email easier - cleaner use of auditors and reactors in the default schemas - demo scripts supplied in the scripts/ and detectors/ directories - Much, much more: see the CHANGES file for details Source and documentation is available at the website: http://roundup.sourceforge.net/ Release Info (via download page): http://sourceforge.net/projects/roundup Mailing lists - the place to ask questions: http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=31577 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 richard@users.sourceforge.net. 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 will facilitate 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 2.0+ installation. It doesn't even need to be "installed" to be operational, though a disutils-based install script is provided. It comes with two issue tracker templates and three database back-ends.
