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.

This is a minor bugfix release.

• Merged in [3029] from [email protected]. Make the Cc: field of new
  liaisons editable.

• Set the person field of the LegacyLiaisonUser in the admin interface
  to be handled as a raw id field with search button, rather than as a choice
  list. This should make admin updates involving the LegacyLiaisonUser table
  much speedier.

• Added a new fix for empty query strings to /meeting/agenda/agenda.ics.
  (The QUERY_STRING in request.META is not set the same way under the builtin
  server as under Apache; under apache there will be a QUERY_STRING entry wich
  is explicitly Null. Handles this.)

• Included a javascript change not previsously merged in from branch/yaco/liaison/.

3.15

Release Date: Wed, April 6, 2011 at 1:17 PM UTC
Release Author: Henrik Levkowetz

---

This is a minor bugfix release.

• Fix the weekday-dependent plenary information in the materials list.

• In urls under /wg/, only accept wgnames which adhere to the constraints
  currently practiced. (Before this change, the URL patterns would match wg
  names containing non-ascii characters, which later would bomb due to mix of
  collations when accessing the database. Might as well return a 404 at once
  instead).

• Don't return 500 if the /meeting/agenda/agenda.ics URL is without query part.

• Get rid of a print statement used during testing.

Release Date: Sat, March 26, 2011 at 8:27 AM UTC
Release Author: Henrik Levkowetz

---

• Provide a full URL to IPR issues in the last call email, rather than just
  the local url path. Fixes an issue reported by Russ.

• Tweak the admin interface for WGs and Chairs, adding some useful links
  to the tabular displays.

• Add refinements for the liaison admin interface. Show contact link and
  coloured Login/User links to show broken entries.

• Only try to populate the liaison user/email list from the from_entity
  if it's set.

  posted documents. Fixes a problem where non-ascii characters were
  propagated to the database search and caused collation sequence exceptions,
  instead of giving 404 errors.

• Remove the To/From/Subject headers from extra headers to prevent
  duplicate headers.

Note: Deploying this release requires a database schema update, see below.

From [email protected]:

• Allow an SDO Liason Manager to send outgoing liaison from any IETF
  Entity to his SDO.

• Allow the secretariat to send liaisons on behalf of another user.

• On login, retrieve the person record related to the login from the
  legacy tables of non IESG logins. Provides the link between login name
  and person listed in the liaison manager table. Fixes #576.

• Refined handling of the To: and From: address lists when the Liaison
  Manager is also a WG Chair or AD.

From [email protected]:

• Add a clean_whitespace filter in some places to get rid of any newlines
  embedded in document titles. Fixes a problem with bad email headers
  in announcements related to documents with newlines embedded in the title.

• Don't try to send out mail which has no recipients. Fixes a crash when
  trying to send announcements related to drafts which have an empty
  email notes to field.

• Fix typo in method calls to send email, fixes a crash when submitting
  liaison statements.

• Renamed LiaisonDetail.taken_care field to action_taken.
  Miscellaneous associated fixes. Enhanced liaison-related admin pages.

Note: Deploying this release requires an additional steps to create
a new column in a table. This is done as a South migration
(see http://south.aeracode.org/ for more info on South):

# 8<----------
# First the regular checkout and prepare:

   cd /a/www/ietf-datatracker
   svn co http://svn.tools.ietf.org/svn/tools/ietfdb/tags/3.12
   cp web/ietf/settings_local.py 3.12/ietf/
   cd 3.12

# Next, apply the migrations:

   PYTHONPATH=$PWD ietf/manage.py migrate liaisons

# Then carry on with the usual actions:

   cd ../
   rm ./web; ln -s 3.12 web
   sudo /etc/init.d/apache restart

Release Date: Fri, January 28, 2011 at 12:15 PM UTC
Release Author: Henrik Levkowetz

---

• Fixed a bug in the IPR Search, where searches against the IPR notice
  content would fail (Only try to open a legacy url if it leads to a
  file; not if it leads to a directory).

• For a new IESG tracker document, only add a history comment about
  previous history if some previous history exists (i.e., if the replaced
  document also existed in the IESG tracker).

• Show status of Dead Expired documents appropriately; just Expired is
  insufficient.

• Restore, for the secretariat only, the re-scheduling functionality of
  the /iesg/agenda/documents/ page which was removed in [2366] as the ADs
  felt that it made the page too busy.

• Propagate all extra fields on to the final email sending function, not
  only the Cc and Bcc fields. Restores previously missing Reply-To: headers.

• Turn autoescaping off for everything in text/plain email templates. Fixes
  multiple problems with < and > in emails showing up as < and
  >, and related problems.

• The liaison tool is deployed. Show the links to the new tool.

• Prevent things from crashing if some of the email fields are null for a
  liaison.

• It should be possible to edit the area of a draft even if it's been set
  before. Re-enabled the area list box on the document/edit/info/ page.

• Corrected spelling error in list_display specification for the
  PersonOrOrgInfo Admin page.

• Corrected the path to the draft archive in the settings file.

  (Some of the fixes above has been deployed already before this release
  by patching the previous release on the server.)

  issue #546.

  and/or groups. If no groups are selected, the week view is hidden, leaving the
  base-level functionality unchanged.

From [email protected]:

• 548# Link in IPR column should use an absolute, not relative URL. This
  fixes issue #546.

From [email protected]:

• Added new setting to the /cookies page which enables always showing
  full document text instead of showing beginning of the document. This
  fixes issue #551.

From [email protected]:
