This file contains only important changes made to Bugzilla. If you are updating from an older verseion, make sure that you check this file! For a more complete list of what has changed, use Bonsai (http://cvs-mirror.mozilla.org/webtools/bonsai/cvsqueryform.cgi) to query the CVS tree. For example, http://cvs-mirror.mozilla.org/webtools/bonsai/cvsquery.cgi?module=all&branch=HEAD&branchtype=match&dir=mozilla%2Fwebtools%2Fbugzilla&file=&filetype=match&who=&whotype=match&sortby=Date&hours=2&date=week&mindate=&maxdate=&cvsroot=%2Fcvsroot will tell you what has been changed in the last week. 9/15/98 Everything has been ported to Perl. NO MORE TCL. This transition should be relatively painless, except for the "params" file. This is the file that contains parameters you've set up on the editparams.cgi page. Before changing to Perl, this was a tcl-syntax file, stored in the same directory as the code; after the change to Perl, it becomes a perl-syntax file, stored in a subdirectory named "data". See the README file for more details on what version of Perl you need. So, if updating from an older version of Bugzilla, you will need to edit data/param, change the email address listed for $::param{'maintainer'}, and then go revisit the editparams.cgi page and reset all the parameters to your taste. Fortunately, your old params file will still be around, and so you ought to be able to cut&paste important bits from there. Also, note that the "whineatnews" script has changed name (it now has an extension of .pl instead of .tcl), so you'll need to change your cron job. And the "comments" file has been moved to the data directory. Just do "cat comments >> data/comments" to restore any old comments that may have been lost. 9/2/98 Changed the way password validation works. We now keep a crypt'd version of the password in the database, and check against that. (This is silly, because we're also keeping the plaintext version there, but I have plans...) Stop passing the plaintext password around as a cookie; instead, we have a cookie that references a record in a new database table, logincookies. IMPORTANT: if updating from an older version of Bugzilla, you must run the following commands to keep things working: ./makelogincookiestable.sh echo "alter table profiles add column cryptpassword varchar(64);" | mysql bugs echo "update profiles set cryptpassword = encrypt(password,substring(rand(),3, 4));" | mysql bugs
