set to itself (thanks Eric Kow)
- Handle multiple @action values from broken trackers.

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.bug-tracking.roundup.user/10040
thanks to Hauke Duden for reporting these.

- Default to "text/plain" if no Content-Type header is present in email
(thanks Hauke Duden)
- Small documentation update regarding debugging aids (Bernhard Reiter)
- Indexer Xapian, made Xapian 1.2 compatible. Needs at least Xapian 1.0.0 now.
(Bernhard Reiter; Thanks to Olly Betts for providing the patch Issue2550647.)

About Roundup
=============

Roundup is a simple-to-use and -install issue-tracking system with
command-line, web and e-mail interfaces. It is based on the winning design
from Ka-Ping Yee in the Software Carpentry "Track" design competition.

Note: Ping is not responsible for this project. The contact for this
project is [e-mail].

Roundup manages a number of issues (with flexible properties such as
"description", "priority", and so on) and provides the ability to:

(a) submit new issues,
(b) find and edit existing issues, and
(c) discuss issues with other participants.

The system will facilitate communication among the participants by managing
discussions and notifying interested parties when issues are edited. One of
the major design goals for Roundup that it be simple to get going. Roundup
is therefore usable "out of the box" with any python 2.3+ (but not 3+)
installation. It doesn't even need to be "installed" to be operational,
though an install script is provided.

It comes with two issue tracker templates (a classic bug/feature tracker and
a minimal skeleton) and four database back-ends (anydbm, sqlite, mysql
and postgresql).
