3.50

Summary: Submission Tool Rewrite
Release Date: Tue, April 12, 2011 at 4:23 PM UTC
Release Author: Henrik Levkowetz

---

• For this release, the idsubmit port from [email protected] has been merged
  in, which constitute substantial added functionality. This integrates the
  draft upload functionality with the python/django datatracker; it improves
  draft submission handling and security, and fixes problems with database
  breakage and inconsistency caused by the old implementation. With this also
  comes a major improvement of author extraction from draft text, provided by
  the ietf/utils/draft.py module from [email protected].

• Deployment note: Once the new release has been placed in its deployment
  directory, and the correct settings_local.py has been copied in, a command
  needs to be run in order to update the database tables to work with the new
  code. In the directory containing the ietf/ directory, run this command:

  $ PYTHONPATH=$PWD ietf/manage.py migrate
  

  The output should be as follows::

  Running migrations for liaisons:

  • Nothing to migrate.
    Running migrations for submit:
  • Migrating forwards to 0003_add_extra_name_fields.

  submit: 0001_initial
  submit: 0002_add_submission_hash
  submit: 0003_add_extra_name_fields

  • Loading initial data for submit.

  Once this is done, the regular deployment routine should be continued.
