From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: "Kenneth H. Cox" To: bug-gnats@gnu.org, gnats-announce@sourceware.cygnus.com Subject: Announcing gnatsweb 2.6 Date: Tue, 30 Nov 1999 20:48:00 -0000 Message-id: X-SW-Source: 1999/msg00006.html Hi folks, Is it just me or is anyone else thinking they could use a real relational database for bug tracking? Particularly for operations like: a. assigning all of Joe's open bugs to Jane b. querying how many open bugs, per developer, etc. Anyway, I'm still occasionally hacking on gnatsweb, and I made a new release. You can get the latest gnatsweb release at: ftp://ftp.senteinc.com/gnatsweb/gnatsweb-2.6.tar.gz Here is what has changed since 2.5 (from the ChangeLog): 1999-11-30 Kenneth H. Cox * Enhancement: If user does not have cookies enabled, they now get a warning on the Login page. Previously, you would have to submit the login page before you got the warning, then you would have to go back and resubmit the page. A little JavaScript goes a long way. 1999-11-27 Kenneth H. Cox * Enhancement: If DEFAULT_RELEASE is set in the gnats config file, then it is now used as the default value in new PR's. Patch by Brian Cameron . * Bug fix: In "send email" link, include GNATS_ADDR. Patch by Jason Molenda . * Enhancement: Reversed the default sort, so that new PR's appear before older ones. Added some more debug prints. Patch by Tim Riker . 1999-11-18 Kenneth H. Cox * New features: Now the site_callback can - supply default values for various things until they are specified and stored in the user's cookies: Reporter's email...(more coming?). This facilitates that first PR for new people. - print new buttons at top+bottome of main page. - print stuff at the top of individual fields on the sendpr and editpr pages. See gnatsweb-site-sente.pl for examples. * Bug fix: The default list of columns displayed for a query was empty; now it isn't. You can still get the empty list if you explicitly turn off all columns. ========== gnatsweb 2.6 beta2 released =================================== 1999-11-17 Kenneth H. Cox * New feature: Now all links and forms contain the database param, so that you can keep multiple databases open in multiple browser windows. ========== gnatsweb 2.6 beta released =================================== 1999-11-14 Kenneth H. Cox * New feature? Cookies are now stored with path=/. I don't know if this'll help IE users or not; I actually did it to share cookies between my test web and my main web. You should still be able to get to your stored queries, and even delete them. * New feature: If you follow a URL such as http://www.x.com/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?cmd=view&database=main&pr=1269 and you are forced to login, then after logging in you will be redirected to the requested age. I tried doing this with a redirect but that didn't work; had to use a somewhat ugly zero-delay refresh. If you can figure that out I'd be grateful. * New feature: Split cookies into a global cookie (column preference and email addr) and a db-specific cookie. That way you don't have to keep typing in different passwords if you change db's. * Code reorg: Cleaned up the main proc especially w.r.t. the cookie-setting stuff. Now all of the preference settings happen at once, and there is only one 'switch' over all of the commands. However, if you don't have cookies enabled I probably broke the detection of this error. 1999-11-13 Kenneth H. Cox * New feature: Added a button to delete stored queries. Patch by Robert Lupton the Good . * Bug fix (get_mailto_link): MSIE users need special handling in the mailto: link. Patch by . -- Kenneth H. Cox Software Guy Sente, Inc.
