ietfdb (5.7.2) ietf; urgency=medium
Another bugfix release, containing a number of fixes for issues related to
extraction of meta-information from draft submissions, and also fixes for
some other blemishes not discovered at the time of 5.2.1. This release
also enhances the generation of draft author aliases, providing a
{draftname}.shepherd alias which points to the shepherd (if set), and adding
the shepherd email address to the {draftname}.all alias. The email alias
changes will take effect as soon as the aliases are activated for @ietf.org
(as opposed to @tools.ietf.org). Details:
* Addedd a temporary patch for an unwanted exception which occurred when
trying to generate proceedings for a session which didn't have an
assigned timeslot in an official schedule. Happens all the time for
interims, for example.
* Merged in [8506] from rjsparks@nostrum.com:
Changed the default notify address for IRTF stream documents. Fixes bug
#1489.
* Merged in [8505] from rjsparks@nostrum.com:
Added code to allow removing a document shepherd, and test that it works.
Fixes bug #1509.
* Merged in [8504] from rjsparks@nostrum.com:
Added tests that would have caught bug #1508. Added message to
edit_shepherd_email to match that added in edit_shepherd.
* Merged in [8498] from rjsparks@nostrum.com:
Reworked logic flow for editing shepherds. Added message to inform the
user when the shepherd is not changed. Fixes bug #1508.
* Changed the signature line of the generate-wg-aliases script so as to show
the script path instead of a manually maintained string (which had become
outdated) in the signature string at the top of the generated files.
* Added generation of {draftname}.shepherd aliases for drafts when
generating draft email aliases, and also added the shepherd's email address
to the {draftname}.all alias. Changed the signature line of the script to
give the script path instead of a manually maintained string (which had
become outdated).
* Fixed a bug in setting the can_edit_shepherd_writeup flag, triggered by the
change in what Document.shepherd refers to (now, Email, used to be Person).
* Added 'Dr.-Ing.' to the recognised honorifics in the author extraction
code.
* Did a number of changes to the author extraction method of class Draft
in order to make it able to match up names with double-word family names on
the first page (A. Foo Bar) with (familyname, given-name) ordering (Foo Bar
Any) in the Authors' Addresses section. Regression tested against 200+
known good author extraction results. A number of stronger restrictions in
regular expressions had to be introduced to avoid regression, which is
probably all to the good.
* Added support for ISO-format dates (or RFC 3339 dates, if you will) to
the date parsing done for the submission tool. Also refined the regexes a
bit to avoid false matches on for instance things like 'Juniper 2014'.
* Merged in [8498] from rjsparks@nostrum.com:
Reworked the logic flow for editing shepherds. Added a message to inform the
user when the shepherd is not changed. Fixes bug #1508.
