There has not been a Bugzilla release for a while, but
|
|
|
|
development has continued, and the Bugzilla team is proud
|
|
|
|
to announce release of Bugzilla 2.12.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Recommended Practice For The Upgrade
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As always, please ensure you have ran checksetup.pl after
|
|
|
|
replacing the files in your installation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is recommended that you view the sanity check page
|
|
|
|
(sanitycheck.cgi) both before the upgrade and after running
|
|
|
|
checksetup.pl after the upgrade, to see if there are any
|
|
|
|
problems with your installation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is also recommended that if you can, you immediately fix
|
|
|
|
any problems you find. Be aware that if the sanity check page
|
|
|
|
contains more errors after an upgrade, it doesn't necessarily
|
|
|
|
mean there are more errors in your database, as it is likely
|
|
|
|
they weren't being checked for in the old version.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New email tech for email notifications is now recommended.
|
|
|
|
Old email tech will probably be removed in Bugzilla 2.14.
|
|
|
|
It is strongly recommended that you turn on the newemailtech
|
|
|
|
and newemailtechdefault options on the Edit Parameters page
|
|
|
|
(editparams.cgi), so new accounts will use new email tech.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you wish, you may move all old accounts over to new email
|
|
|
|
tech by executing the following SQL statement in MySQL:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
UPDATE profiles SET newemailtech = '1';
|
|

*** IMPORTANT CHANGES ***
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- There is now a facility for new email tech users to choose
|
|
|
|
the sort of notifications they wish to receive. This
|
|
|
|
facility will probably be improved in future versions.
|
|
|
|
(bug 17464)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "Changed" will no longer appear on the subject line of
|
|
|
|
change notification emails. Because of this, you should
|
|
|
|
change the subject line in your 'changedmail' and
|
|
|
|
'newchangedmail' params on editparams.cgi. The subject
|
|
|
|
line needs to be changed from
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Subject: [Bug %bugid%] %neworchanged% - %summary%
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Subject: [Bug %bugid%] %neworchanged%%summary%
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
or whatever is appropriate for the subject you are using
|
|
|
|
on your system. Note the removal of the " - " in the
|
|
|
|
middle.

|
|
|
- Some security holes have been fixed where shell escape characters
|
|
|
|
could be passed to Bugzilla, allowing remote users to execute
|
|
|
|
system commands on the web server.

*** Bug fixes of note ***
|

|
- When marking a bug as a duplicate, the duplicate stamp marked
|
|
|
|
on the open bug will no longer be written too early (such as
|
|
|
|
on mid-air collisions).
|
|
|
|
(bug 7873)
|
|
|
|
- Various bug fixes were made to the initial assignee and QA
|
|
|
|
of a component. It is no longer possible to enter an
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
a user's email address is changed. Sanity check will now
|
|
|
|
check these.

(bug 49306)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** Outstanding issues of note ***
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Bug counts (on reports.cgi) can be very slow if you have to
|
|
|
|
count a lot of bugs. In this case the connection can time
|
|
|
|
out before the page finishes loading. Extending the cgi
|
|
|
|
timeout on your web server might help this situation.
|
|
|
|
(bug 63249)
|
|
|
|
- Administrators must make sure that certain files are
|
|
|
|
properly inaccessible or confidential information might become
|
|
|
|
available to enterprising individuals. This includes the
|
|
|
|
localconfig file, the entire shadow directory and the entire
|
2001-04-22 22:48:04 +04:00
|
|
|
data directory except for data/comments (the quips file).
|
2001-04-20 20:46:59 +04:00
|
|
|
(bug 65572)
|
|
|
|
- Renaming or removing keywords will not update the "keyword
|
|
|
|
cache", and queries on keywords may not work properly, until
|
|
|
|
you rebuild the cache on the sanity check page
|
|
|
|
(sanitycheck.cgi). The changer will receive a warning to do
|
|
|
|
this when altering the keyword.
|
|
|
|
(bug 69621)
|
|
|
|
- Email notifications will not work out of the box if you are
|
|
|
|
using Postfix, Exim or possibly other non-SendMail mail
|
|
|
|
transfer agents, as Bugzilla sends mail by default in
|
|
|
|
"deferred" mode using the "-ODeliveryMode=deferred" command
|
|
|
|
line option, which needs to be supported by the sendmail
|
|
|
|
program. To fix this, you can turn on the "sendmailnow"
|
|
|
|
parameter on the Edit Parameters page (editparams.cgi).
