*** Recommended Practice For The Upgrade ***
|
2001-04-20 20:46:59 +04:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
2002-02-24 08:00:19 +03:00
|
|
|
Failure to do this may mean that bugzilla will not
|
|
|
|
work correctly.
|
|
|
|
|
2001-08-29 23:39:01 +04:00
|
|
|
Administrators must make sure that certain files are
|
|
|
|
inaccessible or confidential information might become
|
|
|
|
available to enterprising individuals. This includes the
|
|
|
|
localconfig file and the entire data directory. Please
|
|
|
|
see the Bugzilla Guide for more information.

*** Deprecated Features ***
|
|
|
|
|
2002-04-16 08:03:30 +04:00
|
|
|
- This is possibly the last stable release that will work with
|
|
|
|
MySQL version 3.22. Soon Bugzilla will require at least
|
|
|
|
version 3.23.x. The exact minimum version number required
|
|
|
|
has not yet been decided.
|
|
|
|
(bug 87958)
|
|
|
|
- This is possibly the last stable release to support the
|
|
|
|
shadow database. The replacement (using MySQL's built in
|
|
|
|
replication) is not present in 2.16, but we expect that
|
|
|
|
very few sites use this feature. If this would cause a
|
|
|
|
problem for you, please comment on the below bug.
|
|
|
|
(bug 124589)
|
2002-02-17 07:25:51 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** Outstanding Issues Of Note ***
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- 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).
|
|
|
|
(bug 50159)
|
2002-04-16 08:03:30 +04:00
|
|
|
- Users behind rotating transparent proxies or otherwise having
|
|
|
|
a dynamic IP will find they need to log in regularly.
|
|
|
|
(bug 20122)
|
|
|
|
- If you search on any CC or added comments, as well as at least
|
|
|
|
one other of CC, added comments, assignee, reporter, etc, then
|
|
|
|
the search can be very slow. This is because of limitations of
|
|
|
|
the MySQL optimiser.
|
|
|
|
(bug 96101)
|
2002-02-17 07:25:51 +03:00
|
|
|
|
2002-04-27 06:16:32 +04:00
|
|
|
- This release of Bugzilla uses the Template Toolkit. For speed,
|
|
|
|
compiled templates are cached on disk. If you modify the templates
|
|
|
|
in order to customise the look and feel of your Bugzilla instalation,
|
|
|
|
the toolkit will normally detect the changes, and recompile the
|
|
|
|
changed templates.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, if you do not set a webservergroup in the localconfig file,
|
|
|
|
(a generally unwise thing on a production installation of Bugzilla)
|
|
|
|
the template directory would have to be world-writable for automatic
|
|
|
|
recompilation to happen.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Doing that would be a security risk. So, if you modify templates locally
|
|
|
|
and do not have a webservergroup set, you will have to rerun checksetup.pl
|
|
|
|
to recompile the templates manually. If you do not do this, the changes
|
|
|
|
you make will not appear, and an error message will be reported.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Adding new directories anywhere inside the template directory may cause
|
|
|
|
permission errors. If you see these, rerun checksetup.pl as root. If you
|
|
|
|
do not have root access, or cannot get someone who does to do this for you,
|
|
|
|
you can rename the data/template directory to data/template.old (or any
|
|
|
|
other name bugzilla doesn't use). Then rerun checksetup.pl to regenerate
|
|
|
|
the compiled templates.

*** SECURITY ISSUES RESOLVED ***
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The bug reporter could set the priority even when
|
|
|
|
'letsubmitterchoosepriority' was off.
|
|
|
|
(bug 63018)
|
|
|
|
- It was possible for random confidential information to be
|
|
|
|
divulged, if the shadow database was in use and became
|
|
|
|
corrupted.
|
|
|
|
(bug 92263)
|
|
|
|
- Mass change would set the groupset of every bug to be the
|
|
|
|
groupset of the first bug.
|
|
|
|
(bug 107718)
|
|
|
|
- Most CGIs now run in taint mode. This helps to prevent
|
|
|
|
failure to validate errors.
|
|
|
|
(bug 108982)
|
|
|
|
- queryhelp.cgi no longer shows confidential products to
|
|
|
|
people it shouldn't.
|
|
|
|
(bug 126801)
|
|
|
|
- The bug list sort order could take arbitrary SQL. There
|
|
|
|
are no known exploits for this problem.
|
|
|
|
(bug 130821)
|
|
|
|
- It was possible for a user to bypass the IP check by
|
|
|
|
setting up a fake reverse DNS, if the Bugzilla web server
|
|
|
|
was configured to do reverse DNS lookups. Apache is not
|
|
|
|
configured as such by default. This is not a complete
|
|
|
|
exploit, as the user's login cookie would also need to
|
|
|
|
be divulged for this to be a problem.

*** IMPORTANT CHANGES ***
|
|
|
|
|
2002-04-16 08:03:30 +04:00
|
|
|
- 2.16 introduces "templatisation", a new feature that allows
|
|
|
|
administrators to easily customise the HTML output of Bugzilla
|
|
|
|
without altering Perl code. Bugzilla uses the "Template Toolkit"
|
|
|
|
for this. ??? See the Bugzilla Guide?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Administrators who ran the 2.15 development version and customised
|
|
|
|
templates should check the templates are still valid, as file names
|
|
|
|
and file paths have changed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most output is now templatised. This process will be complete next
|
|
|
|
milestone.
|
|
|
|
(bug 86168)
|
|
|
|
- index.html is now configurable, as is now index.cgi. ??? Web server setup ???
|
|
|
|
(bug 80183)
|
|
|
|
- Administrators can now configure maximum attachment sizes. These
|
|
|
|
should remain below the maximum size for MySQL
|
|
|
|
(bug 91664)
|
|
|
|
- Perl 5.004 is no longer supported because the Template Toolkit
|
|
|
|
requires 5.005.
|
|
|
|
(bug 97721)
|
|
|
|
- It is now strongly recommended that administrators run
|
|
|
|
"processmail rescanall" after upgrading to 2.16 or beyond.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will send out notification emails for changes that were
|
|
|
|
made but not emailed, due to Bugzilla bugs. All known
|
|
|
|
causes of this have been fixed (bug 104589 and 99519).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is also recommended that this be run nightly to avoid
|
|
|
|
lengthy delays in future if this reoccurs.

|
|
|
|
autohyperlinkifying similar to bugs.
|
|
|
|
(bug 71840)
|
|
|
|
- The attachment system has been rewritten, supporting new
|
|
|
|
"attachment statuses" (like keywords, but for attachments),
|
|
|
|
the ability to obsolete attachments, and the ability to
|
|
|
|
edit attachment metadata.
|
|
|
|
(bugs 84338, 75176)
|
|
|
|

- Dependency tree now lets you exclude resolve bugs and bugs
|
|
|
|
below a specific depth.
|
|
|
|
(bugs 83058)

- The "strictvaluechecks" parameter has gone away. These checks
|
|
|
|
are now always done.
|
|
|
|
(bug 119715)
|
|
|
|
- The midair collision page now shows all changes since the bug
|
|
|
|
page was loaded, not just the last one.
|
|
|
|
(bug 108312)
|
|
|
|
- Added support for making dependency graphs with 'dot', which
|
|
|
|
is better at creating complex graphs than 'webdot'.

*** Bug fixes of note ***
|
|
|
|
|
2002-04-16 08:03:30 +04:00
|
|
|
- Bugzilla scripts are now usually not terminated when the browser
|
|
|
|
window they are running in is closed. This caused hard to
|
|
|
|
reproduce bugs.
|
|
|
|
(bug 104589)
|
|
|
|
- On browsers that "reflow" the page, large component / milestone /
|
|
|
|
version fields were extremely slow to reflow when you altered
|
|
|
|
the product field.
|
|
|
|
(bug 96534)
|
|
|
|
- The selection in the component / milestone / version fields is
|
|
|
|
no longer lost when you change the selection in the product
|
|
|
|
field or use the back/forward buttons in your browser to return
|
|
|
|
to the page.
|
|
|
|
(bug 97966)
|
|
|
|
- You could not reverse dependencies in one step.
|
|
|
|
(bug 82143)
|
|
|
|
- Mass reassignment of non-open bugs will no longer reopen them.
|
|
|
|
(bug 30731)
|
|
|
|
- Attempting to bulk change no bugs will now give a user-friendly
|
|
|
|
error message.
|
|
|
|
(bug 90333)
|
|
|
|
- If you make a change to a bug where you only add yourself to CC,
|
|
|
|
email notifications are now properly sent out for MySQL 3.23.
|
|
|
|
(bug 99519)
|
|
|
|
- Bug entry now properly validates the data it has been sent.
|

|
|
|
|
where dependencies have changed.
|
|
|
|
(bug 73502)
|
|
|
|
- Some browsers were able to corrupt the params file with the wrong
|
|
|
|
end-of-line markers.
|
|
|
|
(bug 92500)
|
|
|
|
- The MySQL port defined in localconfig is now properly honoured.
|
|
|
|
(bug 98368)
|
|
|
|
- Apostrophes in component/milestone/version names no longer cause
|
|
|
|
a problem on the query page.

|
(bug 30689/42810)
|
|
|
|
- File attachment comments will now wrap.
|
|
|
|
(bug 52060)
|
|
|
|
- Saved queries are no longer mangled if you need to log in again,
|
|
|
|
for example if you had cookies of.
|
|
|
|
(bug 38835)
|
2002-02-17 07:25:51 +03:00
|
|
|
- Bug counts (on reports.cgi) were very slow if you had to
|
|
|
|
count a lot of bugs.
|
|
|
|
(bug 63249)
|
2002-04-16 08:03:30 +04:00
|
|
|
- 2.14 introduced options to let people see a bug when their name
|
2002-02-17 07:25:51 +03:00
|
|
|
is on it but who aren't in the groups the bug is restricted
|
2002-04-16 08:03:30 +04:00
|
|
|
to. These only allowed the people to view the bugs directly,
|
|
|
|
and not see them on buglists and receive email about them.

products, even if the user didn't have access to all of them.
|
|
|
|
It now only shows products the user has access to (and the

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- If a user had any blessgroupset privileges (the ability to
|
|
|
|
change only specific privileges for other users), it was
|
|
|
|
possible to change your own groupset (privileges) by

altering the page HTML before submitting on editusers.cgi.

(bug 108821)

- An untrusted variable was echoed back to user in the HTML

output if there was a login error while editing votes.
|
|
|
|
(bug 98146)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- buglist.cgi had an undocumented parameter that allowed you
|
|
|

to pass arbitrary SQL for the "WHERE" part of a query.
|
|
|
|
This has been disabled. (bug 108812)
|

|
|
|
|
- It was possible for a user to send arbitrary SQL by inserting
|
|
|
|
single quotes in the "mybugslink" field in the user
|
|
|
|
preferences. (bug 108822)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- buglist.cgi was not validating that the field names being
|
|
|
|
passed from the "boolean chart" query form were valid field
|
|
|
|
names, thus allowing arbitrary SQL to be inserted if you
|
|
|
|
edited the HTML by hand before submitting the form.
|
|
|
|
(bug 109679)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- long_list.cgi was not validating that the bug ID parameter
|

was actually a number, allowing arbitrary SQL to be inserted
|
|
|
|
if you edited the HTML by hand. (bug 109690)

*** IMPORTANT CHANGES ***
|
|
|
|
|
2001-08-29 23:39:01 +04:00
|
|
|
- Bugzilla 2.14 no longer supports old email tech. Upon
|
|
|
|
upgrading, all users will be moved over to new email tech.
|
|
|
|
This should speed up upgrading for installations with
|
|
|
|
a large number of bugs.
|
|
|
|
(bug 71552)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- There is new functionality for people to see why they are
|
|
|
|
receiving notification mails.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Previously, some people filtered old email tech
|
|
|
|
notifications depending on whether they were in the To or the
|
|
|
|
CC header, in order to get a limited way of determining why
|
|
|
|
they were receiving the notification for filtering purposes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Existing installations will need to make changes to support
|
|
|
|
this feature. The receive reasons can be added to the
|
|
|
|
notifications as a header and/or in the body. To add these
|
|
|
|
you will need to modify your newchangedmail parameter on
|
|
|
|
editparams.cgi, either by resetting it or appropriately
|
|
|
|
modifying it. The header value is specified by
|
|
|
|
%reasonsheader% and the body by %reasonsbody%. For example,
|
|
|
|
the new default parameter is:

|

|

|
|
|
|
(bug 26194)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Very long fields (especially multi-valued fields like keywords,
|
|
|
|
CCs, dependencies) on bug activity and notifications previously
|
|
|
|
could get truncated, resulting in useless notifications and data
|
|
|
|
loss on bug activity. Now the multi-valued fields only show
|
|
|
|
changes, and very big changes are split into multiple lines.
|
|
|
|
Where data loss has already occurred on bug activity, it is
|
|
|
|
indicated using question marks.
|
|
|
|
(bug 55161, 92266)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Previously, when a product's voting preferences changed all
|
|
|
|
votes were removed from all the bugs in the product. Also,
|
|
|
|
when a bug was moved to another product, all of its votes
|
|
|
|
were removed. This no longer occurs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Instead, if the action would leave one or more bugs with
|
|
|
|
greater than the maximum number of votes per person per bug,
|
|
|
|
the number of votes will be reduced to the maximum. The
|
|
|
|
person will still be notified of this as before.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the action would leave a user with more votes in a product
|
|
|
|
than is allowed, the limit will be breached so as to not lose
|
|
|
|
votes. However the user will not be able to update their
|
|
|
|
votes except to fix this situation. No further action is taken
|
|
|
|
in this version to make sure that the user does this.

*** SECURITY ISSUES RESOLVED ***
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Multiple instances of unauthorised access to confidential
|
|
|
|
bugs has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
(bug 39524, 39526, 39527, 39531, 39533, 70189, 82781)
|
|
|
|
- Multiple instances of untrusted parameters not being
|
|
|
|
checked/escaped was fixed. These included definite security
|
|
|
|
holes.
|
|
|
|
(bug 38854, 38855, 38859, 39536, 87701, 95235)
|
|
|
|
- After logging in passwords no longer appear in the URL.
|
|
|
|
(bug 15980)
|
|
|
|
- Procedures to prevent unauthorised access to confidential
|
|
|
|
files are now simpler. In particular the shadow directory
|
|
|
|
no longer exists and the data/comments file no longer needs
|
|
|
|
to be directly accessible, so the entire data directory can
|
|
|
|
be blocked. However, no changes are required here if you
|
|
|
|
have a properly secured 2.12 installation as no new files
|
|
|
|
must be protected.
|
|
|
|
(bug 71552, 73191)
|
|
|
|
- If they do not already exist, checksetup.pl will attempt to
|
|
|
|
write Apache .htaccess files by default, to prevent
|
|
|
|
unauthorised access to confidential files. You can turn this
|
|
|
|
off in the localconfig file.
|
|
|
|
(bug 76154)
|
|
|
|
- Sanity check can now only be run by people in the 'editbugs'
|
|
|
|
group. Although it would be better to have a separate
|
|
|
|
group, this is not possible until the limitation on the
|
|
|
|
number of groups allowed has been removed.
|
|
|
|
(bug 54556)
|
|
|
|
- The password is no longer stored in plaintext form. It will
|
|
|
|
be eradicated next time you run checksetup.pl. A user must
|
|
|
|
now change their password via a password change request that
|
|
|
|
gets validated at their e-mail account, rather than have it
|
|
|
|
mailed to them.
|
|
|
|
(bug 74032)
|
|
|
|
- When you using product groups and you move a bug between
|
|
|
|
products (single or mass change), the bug will no longer be
|
|
|
|
restricted to the old product's group (if it was) and will
|
|
|
|
be restricted to the new product's group.
|
|
|
|
(bug 66235)
|
|
|
|
- There are now options on a bug to choose whether the
|
|
|
|
reporter, assignee, QA and CCs can access a bug even if
|
|
|
|
they aren't in groups the bug it is restricted to.
|
|
|
|
(bug 39816)
|
|
|
|
- You can no longer mark a bug as a duplicate of a bug you
|
|
|
|
can't see, and if you mark a bug a duplicate of a bug
|
|
|
|
the reporter cannot see you will be given options as to
|
|
|
|
what to do regarding adding the reporter of the resolved
|
|
|
|
bug to the CC of the open bug.
|
|
|
|
(bug 96085)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** Other changes of note ***
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Groups can now be marked inactive, so you can't add a new
|
|
|
|
restriction on that group to a bug, while leaving bugs that
|
|
|
|
were previously restricted on that group alone.
|
|
|
|
(bug 75482)
|
|
|
|
- backdoor.cgi has been removed from the installation. It was
|
|
|
|
old code that was Netscape-specific and its name was scaring
|
|
|
|
people.
|
|
|
|
(bug 87983)
|
|
|
|
- You can now add or remove from CC on the bulk change page.
|
|
|
|
(bug 12819)
|
|
|
|
- New users created by administrators are now automatically
|
|
|
|
inserted into groups according to the group's regular
|
|
|
|
expression. Administrators must edit the user in a second
|
|
|
|
step to override these choices. Previously the
|
|
|
|
administrator specified these explicitly which could lead
|
|
|
|
to incorrect settings.
|
|
|
|
(bug 45164)
|
|
|
|
- The userregexp of system groups can now be edited without
|
|
|
|
resorting to direct database access.
|
|
|
|
(bug 65290)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** Bug fixes of note ***
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The bug list page was sometimes bringing up a not logged in
|
|
|
|
footer when the user was logged in and the installation was
|
|
|
|
using a shadow database.
|
|
|
|
(bug 47914)
|
|
|
|
- You can now view the bug summary in your browser title for
|
|
|
|
a group-restricted bug if you have proper permissions.
|
|
|
|
(bug 71767)
|
|
|
|
- Quick search for search terms did not work in IE5.
|
|
|
|
This has been worked around.
|
|
|
|
(bug 77699)
|
|
|
|
- Quick search for search terms crashed NN4.76/4.77 for Unix.
|
|
|
|
This has been worked around.
|
|
|
|
(bug 83619)
|
|
|
|
- Queries on bugs you have commented on using the "added
|
|
|
|
comment" feature should be a lot faster and not time out
|
|
|
|
on large installations due to the addition of an index.
|
|
|
|
(bug 57350)
|
|
|
|
- You can now alter group settings on bulk change for groups
|
|
|
|
that aren't on for all bugs or off for all bugs.
|
|
|
|
(bug 84714)
|
|
|
|
- New bug notifications now include the CC and QA fields.
|
|
|
|
(bug 28458)
|
|
|
|
- Bugzilla is now more Windows friendly, although it is still
|
|
|
|
not an official platform.
|
|
|
|
(bug 88179, 29064)
|
|
|
|
- Passwords are now encrypted using Perl's encrypt function.
|
|
|
|
This makes Bugzilla more portable to more operating systems.
|
|
|
|
(bug 77473)
|
|
|
|
- Bugzilla didn't properly shut down when told to - some
|
|
|
|
queries could still be sent to the database.

|
|

2001-04-20 20:46:59 +04:00
|
|

(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
|
|
