Lino Noi -- a ticketing system for the Lino team?
=================================================

Though Trac is maybe the most pleasant ticketing system in the world,
I have a problem with it: I cannot customize it easily. As a result, I
can't refrain from thinking sometimes about writing a Lino application
for managing our tickets. This morning I had another attack and worked
on :mod:`lino_noi` and especially :mod:`lino.modlib.tickets`.

I splitted the "sessions" out of :mod:`lino.modlib.tickets`
into a separate new plugin :mod:`lino.modlib.clockings`.

General new feature: attribute :attr:`simple_parameters
<lino.core.actors.Actor.simple_parameters>`.

Lino accepts invalid value 2009-02-30 for DateField
===================================================

humanlinks.LinksByHuman caused a traceback if one of the children of a
person had such an invalid birth date.  IncompleteDateField now has a
validator to avoid this case.  Added test case
:mod:`lino.projects.min2.tests.test_birth_date`.

The :ref:`welfare` test suite had been broken for some time. Now it
passes again.

Cannot save RichTextField when editing in own window
====================================================

Gerd reported another problem: Cannot save RichTextField when editing
in own window.  Instead of saving, we get a traceback::

    NotImplementedError
    <class 'lino.core.actions.ShowDetailAction'> has no run_from_ui() method

    TRACEBACK:

Confirmed, but not yet resolved.
