**Improved email handling, and roundup of Py2/3 conversion issues**
This release provides a reworked email sending infrastructure so that all
emails sent by the datatracker, except for logging and failure emails sent
to ADMINS, are captured as a Message objects. Together with two new
management commands, this makes it possible to recover from email delivery
failures by re-sending any emails from the datatracker that would otherwise
have been lost.
This release also includes backporting Python 2/3 tranistion issues that
were initially patched in the production code during the recent server
transition, and a number of additional unrelated bugfixes.
From the commit log:
* Merged in [17336] from rcross@amsl.com: Add rfp-announce@ietf.org to
Announcement app To: address list. Changed name of secr dashboard from WG
Chair Dahsboard to IETF Dashboard.
* Merged in [17325] from rjsparks@nostrum.com: Allow review team secretaries
and the secretariat to reset the next reviewer in queue for review teams
using the RotateAlphabetically policy. Partially addresses #2879.
* Fixed an issue with some tests that mocked urlopen() responses, and
tweaked error messages on bad results in sync/rfceditor.py
* Added charset decoding of data read from an urlopen() object in a few
places, and removed some use-once functions that were now dead code.
* Moved code from a couple of simple urlopen() wrappers used only once into
the calling scripts. Removed a case of Py2 virtualenv activation.
* Added management commands to show saved messages (unsent and otherwise)
and to send or re-send saved messages as needed:
- show_messages:
Show outgoing messages that have been saved as Message objects. By
default all messages from the last 2 weeks are shown. Selection can be
made based on date and sent/unsent state. With the --pk option, only a
list of primary keys are shown, otherwise, creation and send date,
message-id, sender and primary recipients, and subject line is shown.
- send_messages:
Send (or re-send) messages saved as Message objects as outgoing emails.
To show existing Message objects, use the show_messages management
command. Messages to send can be indicateb by date ranges, a list of
primary keys, or a list of Message-IDs. Unless the --resend switch is
given, the inclusion of already sent messages in the date range or
message lists will result in an error exit, in order to prevent
inadvertent re-sending of message. Alternatively, the --unsent switch
can be used to send only messages marked as not already sent from a date
range or message list.
* Added a migration to set an explicit content-type for Message objects
where missing.
* Added a migration to correct Message fields containing strings that were
repr() of list instances instead of comma-separated email addresses.
* Added saving of outgoing emails as Message instances, with accompanying
test.
* Did a slight refactoring of infer_message() and
send_scheduled_message_from_send_queue(), and added setting of a
Message.sent date when sent.
* Fixed an issue where the lookup of recognized country names during draft
submission grabbed the unicode name instead of the ascii name for
non-ascii country strings in XML submissions.
* Updated the list of utility python files that should be ignored by
code coverage measurements.
* Fixed log.log() to hand on the right type (str) to underlying functions,
irrespective of Python version.
* Fixed a test to be more specific when looking for a generated Message
object, to make sure to get the right one.
* Added html unescape for email addresses from form data that might use html
entities for angle brackets.
* Added a 'sent' field to Message, to be able to track sent status for
captured outgoing messages (which don't have a SendQueue instance).
* Fixed a number of bad Message.content_type settings when creating Message
* objects.
* Fixed a string vs list issue for a Message from form case.
* Added missing .as_strings() to some gather_address_lists() calls, in order
to assign strings rather than lists to Message CharField instances. Fixed
a Message content_type setting.
* More Py2/3 adaptations fetched from production.
* Converted send-scheduled-mail to py3
* Added a cron script to be called every 15 minutes, to have a place where
send-scheduled-mail can live and be invoked with the right environment.
* Moved patch.py into our project tree -- it's not being maintained by the
external maintainers any more.
* Merged in Python 2/3 changes pulled from the production server after the
switch to python 3.
* Merged in cronjob script changes pulled from the production server after
the switch to python 3.
* Added cleaning of the session request form's 'comments' field, to convert
any html entered to text. Related to [17322].
* Removed an instance of 'autoescape off' for submitted meeting session
comments in a template, since it is not needed in practice; in order to
avoid an XSS injection opportunity.
* Updated the PLAN file, removing some completed actions.
* Changed some remaining cases of open() to io.open(), for Py2/Py3
consistency.
* Tweaked settings.py to make django_extension commands available if
installed.
