[Zope-Annce] PloneCollectorNG 1.2 alpha 1 released

[Andreas Jung]

I am pleased to announce the release of  PloneCollectorNG 1.2.0 a1 (PCNG)

PloneCollectorNG is a Plone-based bugtracking solution and framework.

Changes in V 1.2.0 alpha 1 (19. April 2004)

    * Workflow: added support to have different workflows in different 
PloneCollectorNG instances (per-instance workflows). Workflows definitions 
are no longer maintained as .zexp files. They have been migrated to Python 
code and are now stored inside the workflows folder. The workflow histories 
of all issues must be migrated when you upgrade from V 1.1.X to V 1.2 or 
higher:
          o Backup your Data.fs before performing the following steps
          o run the pcng_migrate_120 script for every PloneCollectorNG 
instance to perform a migration of all issues (except the backup of the 
Data.fs)
          o Warning: change the workflow only as long as there are no 
issues yet. Changing the workflow on an instance with existings issues 
might result in data loss or unpredictable behaviour (no support in this 
case)
    * added issues submission through email
    * PloneCollectorNG license changed to LGPL (GNU Lesser Public License) 
V 2.1
    * Collector instances have now a new preference schemata where you can 
override the slot settings of Plone to increase the horizontal space for 
PloneCollectorNG instances (re-use left and/or right slot)
    * Collector "staff tab": Showing both topic groups and GRUF groups for 
a user
    * "Jump to ticket" has been broken
    * API change: Translateable.translate() -> Translateable.Translate()
    * Collector "staff tab": greatly improved usability by allowing the 
assignment of GRUP groups as support, reporter or tracker administrator
    * added manage_beforeDelete() hook to unindex a PCNG instance if 
renamed or deleted
    * fixed japanese catalog files
    * anonymous users are no longer allowed to use the edit action (only 
allowed to staff members)
    * workaround for long outstanding InvalidObjectReference bug
    * enabled support for Archetypes 1.2 (references between issues are not 
supported with AT 1.2.X)
    * issues can now be searched by date
    * The PCNG member preferences have been moved as configlet to "My 
preferences"
    * misc UI tweaking to make it more Plone2ish
    * PyCrypto (www.amk.ca/python/code/crypto) must be installed if you 
want to use the "issue submission through email" feature.


WARNING:

 - PERFORM A FULL BACKUP FOR YOUR Data.fs ***BEFORE INSTALLING*** PCNG


Volunteers wanted:

  PloneCollectorNG is fully internationalized. If you want PCNG to support 
your language
  that translate the catalog file (i18n folder) to your language and submit 
it to me.

Note:

  Any user should read doc/INSTALL.txt before the installation. Upgraders 
should
  reinstall the PCNG either through the quickinstall tool or through "Plone 
setup".
