KForge

Support was added for Apache mod_wsgi. New project membership application, approval or rejection, and cancellation were added. An SSH key register for each user was added. Mercurial, Git, and Subversion repositories may now be accessed via SSH. The Git plugin was improved to use git-http-backend for git clients. The Git plugin was improved to use Gitweb for browser clients. The Subversion plugin was improved to use ViewVC for browser clients. The default configuration file was improved. The license was changed to Affero GPL. The date-time library was changed to the native datetime module (instead of mx.DateTime).

New plugins were added for Git and Joomla. The feeds for the "recent changes" of new projects are aggregated. KForge now supports using Git, Subversion, and Mercurial services with Trac services. A new installer and improved install guide were added, with support for running KForge in an isolated virtual Python environment. Special character support has been fixed. KForge is now compatible with all recent stable versions of its dependencies (django <= 1.1, sqlobject <= 0.12.0). Performance has been greatly improved. Error handling has been enhanced. The configuration file is much nicer.

Among other changes, the authentication system was cleaned up. A bug in svn 1.5 was eliminated ("svn add" did not work under svn 1.5). Deployment is done under virtualenv for sandboxed installations. Compatibility across external libs (e.g. django 1.0) was increased. A variety of other minor but important fixes were made.

KForge plugin discovery via setuptools entry points (makes it easier for 3rd parties to produce plugins). A Mercurial plugin providing support for mercurial/hg repositories. A (partial) move to nosetests for testing. Improved documentation. A Debian package version.

This release includes a variety of minor improvements/bugfixes, including: ensuring admin pages are at /admin/ and not just /admin/model/; setting zip_safe to False in setup.py to avoid problems with apache/modpython; bringing the guide completely up to date; ensuring access control works with Apache 2.0 and not just 2.2; alphabetical sorting of projects and persons; removing redundant variables from the configuration file; and updating docstrings for plugins to include full installation instructions.
