Release Notes for Trac development releases 1.1.x

1.1.x releases are "stable" and tested snapshots of trunk​. They can be seen as sub-milestones on the road towards 1.2.

As opposed to maintenance releases, we offer no guarantees on feature and API compatibility from one 1.1.x release to the next.

However, by following 1.1.x you get a chance to use new features earlier, and therefore be able to contribute feedback when things are still in flux. It's also less risky than just getting the latest trunk, as we won't cut a 1.1.x release in the middle of a series of changes (though we had and still intend to have a good record of keeping things always working on trunk).

If you're a plugin developer, be sure to also check the ApiChanges/1.1.3 page.

Development Releases

Download information for the latest packaged 1.1.x release — Trac 1.1.3

The download links for 1.1.3 can't be kept in the TracDownload page, otherwise PyPI would pick 1.1.3 as the latest "stable" version.

An upgrade step handles the migration while preserving the behavior. The sync_per_request attribute can be set on repositories defined in the database from the Repositories web admin page or using the trac-admin command. For repositories defined in the [repositories] section of trac.ini, the <name>.sync_per_request attribute can be edited.

#11824	Removed from documentation the version in which a configuration option was added for versions of Trac < 0.12.
#11828	Added label attribute to the TracWorkflow actions and deprecated the name attribute. If neither name nor label is specified, the label will be created from the action name by replacing underscores with whitespace. If not specified, the label attribute of TracTicketsCustomFields will be created from the custom field name by replacing underscores with whitespace.

#11890	Removed support for missing email module (Python 2.1) and old module names (Python 2.4).
#2045	The ticket creation step can be configured in the TracWorkflow and the workflow controls are present on the NewTicket page. The pre-creation state is specified in the TracWorkflow using the special <none> state. These changes allow the new state to be renamed, and support transitions other than <none> → new (e.g. <none> → assigned can be a workflow transition).
#6573	Wiki page version comments in change history can now be edited. (Requires WIKI_ADMIN permission.)
#10207	Moved the Add Comment fields below the Modify Ticket ones. This is both more user-friendly and eliminates the problem of the Submit button being displaced by the apparition of the preview. Moved the author field to the Comment and Properties fieldsets.
#11836	Improved positioning of the Create this page button on the wiki page create form.
Milestone: 1.1.2 (33 matches)
Ticket	Release Notes

#10772	Added [ticket] allowed_empty_fields, which specifies ticket select fields for which an empty value is one of the selections. The option was named optional_fields prior to 1.1.6. Added Clear Default button to the Component and Enum pages.
#10834	Line numbers and row highlighting can be specified for WikiProcessor code blocks.
#10994	Added Select All checkboxes to the admin Components, Milestones, Priorities, Repositories, Resolutions, Severities, Ticket Types and Versions tables.

#11056	Submit buttons are disabled if the required items are not selected.
#11094	Replaced HTML tt tags with code tags.
#11099	Added a Copy Permissions form to the Permissions admin page.
#11244	The read-only attribute on wiki pages is now enforced using the ReadonlyWikiPolicy permission policy. ReadonlyWikiPolicy must be added to [trac] permission_policies before DefaultPermissionPolicy, LegacyAttachmentPolicy and, when present, after AuthzPermissionsPolicy. If additional permission policies are enabled, particular care should be given to the order of the policies when upgrading.
#11300	The default_milestone and default_version can be set to empty using the Clear default buttons on the corresponding Ticket System admin panels.
#11336	When editing or deleting a milestone and there are no tickets associated with the milestone, the retarget elements are not shown and a hint is shown in their place.

#11412	Moved inline styling in about.html template to external stylesheet, about.css.
#11416	Fix date/time picker not working with 24 hour time since updating to jquery-ui-addon v1.1.1
#11436	Added datepickers to time fields with the Relative format on the Query page. This change restores datepickers to the Created and Modified fields.
#11455	Added support for the prefix in TitleIndex macro to be resolved relative to current wiki page. (E.g. [[TitleIndex(./)]] lists all subpages.)
#11494	Removed old-style macro examples in sample-plugins directory.
#11499	Changed styling of Milestone, Ticket System Admin and Repository Admin edit pages by removing fieldsets around the Descriptions. When milestone edit validations fail on the Milestone Admin page, a warning is added rather than redirecting to the error page.
#11519	The [trac] default_handler option can be set from the Basic Settings admin page. A ConfigurationError is raised when navigating to the base url if [trac] default_handler is set to a class for which is_valid_default_handler is False.
#11532	Removed listing of default values from option documentation. The default values aren't needed in the description since the TracIni macro outputs a column with the default value, and removing them makes the documentation more accurate and easier to maintain.
#11565	Reduced code duplication in the about.html and error.html templates.
#11587	The GitConnector and SubversionConnector are required components when a repository of their type is configured. When required, the Component cannot be disabled from the plugin admin page and its version is displayed on the About and Error pages. With these changes the behavior of the repository connectors matches that of database connectors.
#11597	The default_handler can be set as a session preference.
#11600	Minimum required Python version is 2.6.
#11610	Git and Mercurial raise a TracError rather than showing a traceback when attempting to view added and deleted files (#9775).
#11622	CommitTicketUpdater recognizes long-form ticket references with a trailing #comment:N or #comment:description in the token.
#11658	Updated notification options documentation using content that was previously on the TracNotification page.
#11661	The milestone table on the Milestone Admin page has a link from the ticket count to a query showing all tickets associated with the milestone, grouped by status. The link is only present when the ticket count is not zero.
#11666	Submit buttons are consistently located below the fieldsets on forms (horizontal-forms excepted).
#11697	Fine-grained permissions can be used to restrict access to the Report List page using the resource id -1. Fine-grained permission checks are implemented on the Report List resource (for ReportModule) and the ticket realm (for QueryModule) before displaying the mainnav and contextual navigation items. Fine-grained permissions can be used to grant the REPORT_CREATE permission for the report realm (using [report:*] in the authz file).
#10010	The option [milestone] default_retarget_to determines the default milestone to which tickets are retargeted when closing or deleting a milestone. The option can be set from the Milestone Admin page.
#11145	Author names are decorated in a span with class trac-author.
#11126	All stylesheets are added using add_stylesheet rather than using a link element in the template.
Milestone: 1.1.1 (9 matches)
Ticket	Release Notes

#10853	In new tickets, custom time ticket fields may default to an absolute or relative date / time.
#10854	In TracBatchModify, custom time ticket fields can be changed with a date(time)picker popup control.

#10860	File size is pretty-printed when the file can't be previewed or uploaded due to exceeding a size limit.

Code Name

The 0.11 release was dubbed "Genshi" and 0.12 "Babel", after the names of the Python packages that became closely associated to these Trac versions.

With Trac 1.0, no new strong dependency was added, so we went back to our age long tradition of picking a zombie related code name by naming it "Cell", following the 0.6 "Solanum", 0.7, "Fulci", 0.8 "Qualia", 0.9 "Vodun",0.10 "Zengia" releases :-)

So let's find a new cool name for 1.2

• "Datura" — itamarost
• "Austen" — yaelg
• "Algol" — trbs
• "Stubbs" — cm
• "☣" — cboos
• "Hermes" (or some other ​messenger deity)— psuter

Highlights

Could be anything, like:

• MultipleProjectSupport
• new WikiEngine

… or even ​something completely different ;-)
