2.44

Release Date: Mon, March 1, 2010 at 12:17 PM UTC
Release Author: Henrik Levkowetz

---

From Robert:

• Moved old (1995-2003) liaison statements from the template file
  to the database. This requires applying database fixups as
  follows:

  cd /a/www/ietf-datatracker/2.44/ietf
  PYTHONPATH=../ python manage.py dbshell < ../test/liaison_fixup.sql
  

  And updating the liaison files as follows:

  cd /a/www/ietf-datatracker/documents/LIAISON/
  # TAKE A BACKUP OF THE WHOLE DIRECTORY, JUST IN CASE
  . /a/www/ietf-datatracker/2.44/test/liaison_fixup.sh

From Pasi:

• Use new look for more pages

• Make obsoletes/updates/etc. lists links (with new urlize_ietf_docs
  template filter)

• Always show year in /idtracker/status/ dates

• /doc/rfcNNNN/: show the internet-draft name (if known) and link to its
  history; show information about post-RFC IESG processing

• Use yellow for abstain also in /iesg/agenda/documents/

• IESG ballot grid icon: show abstain as yellow instead of gray

• IESG telechat agenda: include "private" links also if logged in, link
  from document list

• Added /doc/all/ page

• Better output if /doc/ search doesn't match anything

• Show state-change-notice-to field in /doc/ (to AD/secretariat)

• Make IESG telechat agenda feed discoverable

• Added IPR/dependency links and edit/add buttons for RFCs, too; some
  template refactoring

• Avoid exceptions from MySQL when searching for non-ASCII draft names/WG
  acronyms/etc.

• Handle non-ASCII characters gracefully in old cgi-bin script redirects

• IPR search: handle non-numeric RFC numbers/ID document tags gracefully
  (instead of uncaught exception)

• Change Atom feeds (+couple of other places) to point to /doc/draft-..
  instead of /idtracker/draft-.../

From Henrik:

• In PersonOrOrgInfo.email(), try harder to find a relevant email address.
  The new code will eventually fall back to a broad filter which matches that
  of the perl code which creates WG charter pages, where the old code would
  sometimes result in django-generated charter pages with missing email
  addresses.

• Serve ipr disclosures which are available on the server directly,
  instead of through an external http link in an <iframe/>. The <iframe/>
  method can result in mixing https and http content in the page, which some
  browser take issue with.

• Add back in rudimentary Django Admin support which was lost in the 0.96
  -> 1.1 transition.

  /idtracker/draft-foo-bar/

• Added javascript redirect for /drafts/draft-foo-bar/ page

2.42

Release Date: Tue, January 26, 2010 at 10:54 AM UTC
Release Author: Henrik Levkowetz

---

From Pasi:

• Use an ietf icon in an alternative colour for the new datatracker
  interface.

  ballot. Include previous minutes.

2.41

Release Date: Wed, January 13, 2010 at 5:25 PM UTC
Release Author: Henrik Levkowetz

---

• The current agenda url can fail between meetings, when the 'current
  meeting number' has been bumped up, but not all relevant information has
  been entered yet. Fall back to the most recent meeting for which an agenda
  can be produced in that case.

• The self.affiliation() call can sometimes cause an exception, too, due
  to the deficiencies of the database. Use something safer as fallback.

From Pasi:

• Show various edit buttons only to ADs/secretariat

• Simplify WG menu a bit

• Fix comment handling for drafts not in idinternal; use select_related
  to reduce SQL queries

• Use GZipMiddleware for per-document page (result is 25% of original,
  and loads visibly faster)

• Close ballot dialog if Escape is pressed

• Fix ballot dialog not appearing (in new tracker UI)

• Add timestamp to scribe template

• Show ballot comments even if AD has no position

• Improved history tab in "new tracker UI"; per-document page now works
  better without JavaScript; internal refactoring/cleaning of per-document
  page

• Better abstract cleaning (to remove new-style boilerplate)

• Updated independent submission text to point to RFC 5742 instead of 3932

• Time out after 30 seconds iwhen downloading

Release Author: Henrik Levkowetz

---

From Pasi:

• Replaced old authentication/authorization system with a new one
  (which uses Apache's authentication). This requires applying
  database fixups as follows:

  cd /a/www/ietf-datatracker/2.39/ietf
  PYTHONPATH=../ python manage.py dbshell < ../test/sql_fixup.sql
  

  PYTHONPATH=../ python manage.py syncdb

  And adding something like this to Apache configuration:

  <LocationMatch "^/accounts/login/">
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "IETF Datatracker"
  AuthUserFile /a/www/htpasswd
  Require valid-user

Summary: IETF 76 Code Sprint
Release Date: Mon, November 9, 2009 at 9:59 AM UTC
Release Author: Henrik Levkowetz

---

• With this release, the datatracker is changed to run under Django 1.1
  rather than under 0.96, and in this sense it is a major release. There
  is however very few changes that can be seen by the users, which is the
  reason why there is no major bump in the release number.

Major changes, from Pasi and the code sprint participants:

• Imported django/ directory from Django-1.1.1.tar.gz, placed in parallel
  with the top-level ietf/ directory in the tree. This lets us run with
  a version of Django which could possibly be different than the system
  installed version.

• Automated conversion of the code base to django-1.1 conventions, e.g.
  to use max_length instead of maxlength in model declarations.

• Lots of escape and safe filters added to the templates, to handle the
  transition from 0.96 to 1.1. This work was contributed by a number of
  people durint the IETF 76 code sprint::

  Pasi Eronen (also leading up to the IETF 76 code sprint)
  Tony Hansen
  Ben Campbell
  Tero Kivinen
  Adam Roach
  Arifumi Matsumoto

• Code cleanup, including removal of unused and seldomly used code (in
  particular the code for mailing list change requests)

• A lot more test cases added, in preparation for the transition to 1.1;
  also refinement of the testing framework.

From Lars Eggert:

• Support the use of UTF-8 in emails

• Fixed the IPR submission tool to work under Django 1.1
