SC-Track Roundup 0.5.9 - an issue tracking system
=================================================

This is a bugfix (and performance) release for version 0.5.x - if 
you're upgrading from before 0.5, you *must* read doc/upgrading.txt!

Unfortunately, the Zope frontend for Roundup is currently broken. If 
you'd
like to volunteer to fix it, let me know.

Roundup requires python 2.1.3 or later for correct operation. Users of 
the
sqlite backend are encouraged to upgrade sqlite to version 2.7.3. Python
2.3 in any form is *not* supported.

This release has:

- - backported XSS message cleaning fix (sf bug 757128)
- - only clean sessions once per hour (backport from HEAD)
- - remember the session db type (much faster session db opening)
- - backported last-modified and if-modified-since header support for 
static
   files (ie. style.css etc.) from HEAD
- - changed rdbms_common to fix sql backends under Py2.3
- - don't open the database in cgi if it's not necessary

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 2.1+ 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 (a classic bug/feature 
tracker and
a minimal skeleton) and six database back-ends (anydbm, bsddb, bsddb3, 
sqlite,
metakit and gadfly).
