Hotfix Poi 1.0rc2-pre1 - bundle with all dependencies

For all platforms (199.5 kB)

Release Notes

Poi requires:

• Plone 2.1.2+
• DataGridField (*)
• AddRemoveWidget
• intelligenttext
• For migration from versions before 1.0b2, contentmigration is required.
• For PloneSoftwareCenter integration, PloneSoftwareCenter 1.0beta7 (currently from the plone2.1-integration branch) is required.

(*) NOTE: Before version 1.0 beta 2, ArchAddOn was required instead of DataGridField.

The bundle tarball contains all these dependencies

Upgrading

If you had a version prior to 1.0 beta 2 installed, you must run migrations to avoid losing your old grids (available areas, available issue types). This is automatic, but you need to install the contentmigration product. This can be found at:

    https://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/contentmigration/trunk

It is also bundled with the release tarball. Simply drop the contentmigration product into your Products/ folder and re-install Poi from the Add/Remove Products control panel or portal_quickinstaller in the ZMI.

After any upgrade (and after you have run migrations!), run an Archetypes schema update, by going to archetype_tool in the ZMI, selecting the Update Schema tab, selecting all the Poi.* types, and clicking Update schema. It's probably a good idea to choose All objects from the drop-down as well, although this will take slightly longer.

If you do not have any old Poi trackers around, you do not need to run migrations.

For new installations, install using Add/Remove Products as normal. If you want PloneSoftwareCenter configuration to be automatically configured, install PSC first.

Feature enhancements in this release

The following features are associated with this release:

#14: Simplify issue text fields

HTML/kupu and STX are both overkill for entering issues, and may confuse users. Most of the functionality is not needed. Instead, something like the Ploneboard text format, which recognises URLs and basic formatting, will suffice.

#9: Resolve ambiguity of "release"

Poi issues have a single "release" field at the moment. It's unclear whether this is the release of the product the bug was found in, or the release it's targetted to be fixed in.

Change log

This is a pre-release update

It fixes some bugs with Zope 2.7 (which should now work again) and with migration from Poi 1.0 beta 1, as well as some other minor issues. This release should be better than rc1, but not quite ready for rc2.

Unfortunately, time has been short lately, so rc2 is on the backburner. The most important thing holding it back is the email notifications, as well as a few other issues - see the issue tracker.
