What's changed in loggerhead?

=============================

1.19 [???]

----------------

    - Add ``bzr load-test-loggerhead`` as a way to make sure loggerhead can

      handle concurrent requests, etc. Scripts can be written that spawn

      multiple threads, and issue concurrent requests.

      (John Arbash Meinel)

    - HEAD requests should not return body content. This is done by adding

      another wsgi middleware that strips the body when the REQUEST_METHOD is

      HEAD. Note that you have to add the middleware into your pipeline, and

      it does not decrease the actual work done.

      (John Arbash Meinel, #716201)

    - If we get a HEAD request, there is no reason to expand the template, we

      shouldn't be returning body content anyway.

      (John Arbash Meinel, #716201, #716217)

    - Merge the pqm changes back into trunk, after trunk was reverted to an old

      revision. (John Arbash Meinel, #716152)

    - Redirect ``/files/file.txt`` to ``/view/file.txt`` and ``/view/dir`` to

      ``/files/dir``. (Jasper St. Pierre, #569358)

    - Remove ``start-loggerhead`` and ``stop-loggerhead`` which were already

      deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)

    - Show "Author(s)" as separate from "Committer". And label them

      correctly. (John Arbash Meinel, #733015)

    - The json module is no longer claimed to be supported as alternative for 

      simplejson. (Jelmer Vernooij, #586611)

    - Viewing the ``/changes`` page only iterates enough of the history to show

      the actual revisions displayed, rather than walking the whole mainline.

      Improves performance on projects with long histories like emacs.

      (John Arbash Meinel)

1.18 [10Nov2010]

----------------

    - Syntax highlighting is no longer applied for files greater than 512K,

      reducing codebrowse.launchpad.net overloading.

      (Max Kanat-Alexander, #513044)

    - Documentation added in the docs directory. README simplified

      accordingly. (Tres Seaver).

    - Show svn/git/hg revision ids in loggerhead revision view.

      (Jelmer Vernooij)

    - Fix .bzr/smart access to branches in shared repos. (You also need

      a version of bzr with bug #348308 fixed.) (Andrew Bennetts)

    - Support FastCGI, SCGI and AJP using flup. (Denis Martinez)

    - Repository.get_revision_inventory() was removed in bzr 2.2; use

      Repository.get_inventory() instead. (Matt Nordhoff, #528194)

    - Ignore readonly+ prefix when checking if Loggerhead is serving a

      local location. (Reported by Tres Seaver.) (Matt Nordhoff)

    - Set Cache-Control and Expires headers on static pages.

      (John Arbash Meinel)

    - Generate relative links where possible (everywhere but HTTP

      redirects and feed IDs). (Michael Hudson, Matt Nordhoff)

    - Fix bad redirect when visiting "/download" or "/download/".

      (Matt Nordhoff, #247992)

1.17 [20Aug2009]

----------------

    - Add bug links in revision informations (Alexandre Garnier, #314052)

    - Make sure that binary files aren't annotated. (Martin Albisetti,

      #258848)

    - Loggerhead now serves bzr branches over HTTP and exposes the URL

      to branch them. Addresses bug #240577. (Jonathan Lange)

    - Leading blank lines in commit messages no longer result in an

      empty summary. (Colin Watson)

    - Added optional syntax highlighting to annotate view using

      python-pygments.  Partially addresses bug #306631. (Peter Bui)

    - Convert newlines in commit messages to HTML line breaks for

      annotate and changelog views.  Addresses bug #273688. (Peter

      Bui)

    - serve-branches now errors if run behind a proxy without

      paste.deploy installed. (Michael Hudson)

    - Loggerhead should now handle file and directory names that need

      URL escaping without crashing.

    - The start-loggerhead script properly sets the wsgi.url_scheme

      from the server.webpath option. (neror, #260547)

    - The revision page defaults to unified style again, and can

      convert to a side-by-side view using JavaScript. (Michael Hudson)

    - Clean up and improve performance of the annotate view. (Michael

      Hudson)

    - Finish converting JavaScript from MooTools to YUI 3. (Michael

      Hudson)

    - Improve compatibility with IE 6. (Michael Hudson)

    - Leading blank lines in commit messages no longer result in an

      empty summary. (Colin Watson)

    - Clip long lines in side-by-side diff view. (Michael Hudson,

      #334837)

    - The user-confusing "next" and "previous" links now read "older"

      and "newer" respectively. (Michael Hudson, #297930)

    - The annotate view now contains line number anchors. (Michael

      Hudson)

    - Fix inventory pages using "//" in links. (Michael Hudson, #329668)

    - Fix problems viewing files and directories containing spaces and

      other funny characters. (Peter Bui)

    - Changelog messages are now displayed with newlines preserved.

      (Peter Bui, #273688)

    - Offer a link to see the full file diffs for a file path. (Michael

      Hudson, #333797)

    - Fix annotate error caused by Pygments stripping trailing

      whitespace. (Michael Hudson, #338762)

    - Loggerhead can be installed as a Bazaar plugin and run by

      'bzr serve --http'. (Martin Pool)

    - Load parts of the changelog and revision pages via XMLHttpRequest

      to improve performance. This adds a dependency on simplejson or

      json. Partially addresses bug #253950. (Michael Hudson)

    - Various improvements to the animation JavaScript. (Michael Hudson)

    - Fix HTML content of source files being displayed unescaped when

      Pygments was unavailable. (Michael Hudson, #344970)

    - Fix serve-branches's path argument. (Michael Hudson, #353230)

    - serve-branches now has an option, --use-cdn, to load YUI from

      Yahoo!'s CDN. (Matt Nordhoff)

    - Fix certain race conditions for loading bzr-search. (Robert

      Collins, #334250)

    - Fix errors when using serve-branches --log-folder or --user-dirs.

      (It was calling config.get_option() incorrectly.) (Matt Nordhoff,

      bug #361238)

    - Move some caching from RAM to the disk, and other caching and

      memory usage improvements. (Michael Hudson)

    - Add a --cache-dir option to serve-branches to choose where to

      place the SQL cache, and only create one temporary SQL dir per

      process. (Matt Nordhoff, #358322)

    - Replace homebrew memory profiling code with Dozer. (Paul Hummer)

    - Use the branch's public_branch as the default suggested URL to

      branch from (Matt Nordhoff, #369767)

    - Fix a file descriptor leak (Matt Nordhoff, #370845)

    - Use transport API internally, so it is possible to specify a remote

      URL to serve-branches. (Jelmer Vernooij, #371787)

    - Fix internal server errors when using start-loggerhead. (Matt

      Nordhoff, #375948)

    - Fix annotating non-UTF-8 files when Pygments is disabled. (Matt

      Nordhoff, #376957)

    - Bumped minimunm bzrlib version to 1.13 (Martin Albisetti)

    - Make sure the Atom feeds (nearly) validate. (Matt Nordhoff, #247162)

    - Support serving branches over HTTP using the smart server protocol.

      (Jelmer Vernooij, #306853)

    - Serving branch data was broken when --allow-writes was *not*

      passed. (Michael Hudson, #388730)

    - http_serve config values are interpreted more forgivingly.

      (Michael Hudson)

    - When specifying a remote url to serve-branches, do not share

      connections between threads. (Michael Hudson, #390972)

    - http_serve values from locations.conf are now applied to

      non-branch .bzr data (e.g shared repositories). (Michael Hudson)

    - tags are now displayed. (Cris Boylan, Alexandre Garnier, Michael

      Hudson, #246739)

    - Display Loggerhead's version number at the bottom of the page, and

      add a <meta> generator tag also including the version numbers of

      its dependencies. (Matt Nordhoff, #370155)

1.10 [22Dec2008]

----------------

    - Add startup deamon script for Linux (Marius Kruger)

    - Switch navigation from file_ids to paths. Fixes bugs #260363,

      #269365 and #128926. (Martin Albisetti)

    - Fix bug #258710 ("the /files page explodes in an empty branch").

      Also minor improvements to the /files and /changes pages.

      (Marius Kruger)

    - Added --port, --host and --prefix options to serve-branches

      script. (Martin Albisetti)

    - Fixed broken template for project browsing with start-loggerhead

      (Martin Albisetti)

    - Added --reload options to restart the application when a python

      file change. (Guillermo Gonzalez)

    - Added error handling middleware. (Guillermo Gonzalez)

    - Fix bug #243415 ("Tracebacks go to console but not log

      file"). Also minor improvements to logging in serve-branches and

      start-loggerhead. (Guillermo Gonzalez)

1.6 [15Aug2008]

----------------

    - Download a diffs between revisions. (Martin Albisetti)

    - Modified templates to make loggerhead's theme easier to

      change. (Paul Hummer)

    - Default sqlite interface is now sqlite3. (Robert Collins)

    - New ninja theme sponsored by Canonical (Martin Albisetti)

    - Added COPYING file and clarified copyright headers (John Arbash Meinel)

    - Remove the .py extension requiered by the Debian Policy.

      (Jelmer Vernooij)

    - New startup script serve-branches will serve Loggerhead without

      the need of configuration, and allow you to browse through directories

      and branches. (Michael Hudson)

    - Loggerhead is no longer a TurboGears application, but rather a

      WSGI application built using Paste (see http://wsgi.org/ and

      http://pythonpaste.org/ for more about WSGI and Paste).

    - URLs now use revision numbers instead of revision ids (Martin Albisetti)

    - The scripts no longer insist on Python 2.4 -- loggerhead works

      fine with 2.5.

    - Bazaar as of version 1.5 has improved in performance enough that

      the revision cache no longer gave any noticeable benefit, so it

      was removed (the files-changed cache is still useful).

    - The templates were rewritten in Zope's TAL markup, powered by

      the simpleTAL library -- improving both the performance and

      memory consumption of rendering by a factor of around 3 for

      large pages over the old Kid templates.

    - Loggerhead's poorly performing text index was disabled. bzr-search

      is now used if the plugin is installed and a text index is present

      on the branch being viewed. (Martin Albisetti, Robert Collins).

    - Loggerhead no longer depends on bzrlib functions deprecated in

      Bazaar 1.5 and removed in 1.6 (Martin Albisetti).

    - The daemonization code was made more regular, fixing bugs

      #139161 ("Starting loggerhead process may not close its stdin

      and stdout properly") and #211526 ("Codebrowse log directory has

      unnecessarily permissive permissions")

    - Some confusion about what the 'file_id' query argument means was

      cleared up: filter_file_id now means "filter revisions to those

      that affect this file" in all views and file_id means "examine

      this file/directory" in the annotate and inventory views.

    - Dates are present more compactly.

    - The loggerhead.conf file can specify which network interface to

      bind to (Mattias Eriksson)

1.2.1  [06mar2008]

------------------

    - The changelog view was out of order when not using the revision

      cache.

1.2  [04mar2008]

    - Michael Hudson <michael.hudson@canonical.com> has mostly taken

      over the maintenance of loggerhead.

    - loggerhead now has a simple test suite -- use 'nosetests' in the

      loggerhead directory to run it.

    - The rendering performance of pages that display large amounts of

      text was improved by a factor of 4 or so.

    - loggerhead no longer caches the text of the diffs between

      revisions.  It rarely helped and wasted a lot of disk space.

    - The layout of most pages was made more "tight" to waste less

      screen real estate, and some other UI improvements (Kent

      Gibson).

    - Much dead code was removed.

    - Loggerhead now computes the files changed between revisions only

      when it needs to know this.  This is a fairly expensive

      operation in Bazaar, and doing it less massively improves

      performance and memory usage in some situations.

    - Loggerhead now takes a read lock on the branch being viewed for

      the duration of each request, which improves performance

      significantly.

    - Loggerhead no longer uses the corruption-prone Berkely DB-backed

      shelve module for its caches, and rather (ab)uses a sqlite

      database instead.

    - The creation of History objects is much faster for large

      branches (Aaron Bentley).

    - Allow the construction of URLs using revnos and file paths as

      well as revids and fileids (bug #98826):

      - For changes pages, append the newest revno to display to the

        URL, like http://.../changes/<revno>

      - For annotate pages, append the revno to display to the URL,

        followed by the path, like http://.../annotate/<revno>/<path>

      - For file listing and revision pages append the revno to

        display to the URL, like http://.../files/<revno>

      Loggerhead still generates URLs using revision and file ids for

      the moment.

    - Many bugs were fixed:

      - Loggerhead does not escape special characters when embedding a

        revision ID in a URL (bug #88286)

      - Improved robustness in the face of ghosts.

      - Don't crash on displaying a commit with an empty message (bug

        #86247)

      - codebrowse fails with infinite redirections (James Henstridge,

        bug #89854)

      - Loggerhead fails to browse revisions that change binary files

        (James Henstridge, bug #91686)

      - Loggerhead atom feeds expose internal hostname (James

        Henstridge, bug #93585)

      - loggerhead don't like page break character (0x0C) in text

        files (bug #113313)

      - codebrowse source listings don't contain line number anchors

        (bug #98826)

      - only serve up unescaped user content with "Content-Disposition:

        attachment"

      - viewing the file listing consumes a lot memory (bug #116869)

      - loggerhead can't handle empty branches (bug #119228)

      - upgrading the format of a branch behind loggerhead could make

        it fail for that branch (bug #118673)

      - Error parsing non-ascii content (bug #117799)

      - Loggerhead failed on whitespace-only commit messages.

      - Links to diffs from within a revision do not work (bug

        #119422)

      - UTF-8 patches served as ISO-8859-1, fixed by served bundles as

        application/octet-stream (bug #121336)

      - TurboGears was turning query arguments into unicode, and bzr

        stopped accepting unicode revids (bug #175228)

1.1.1  [24jan2007]

------------------

    - fix broken inventory page (oops!)

    - fix a few rendering problems with kid and safari

1.1  [20jan2007]

----------------

    - new feature to compare two revisions to each other

    - inserted text in diffs is now blue instead of green

    - fixed to start and stop as a daemon now (use "-f" to run in the

      foreground), and all config is in loggerhead.conf (no need to mess with

      dev.cfg)

    - renamed show/hide javascript buttons to expand/collapse, and made them

      much faster

    - added an atom-feed link to each branch on the browse page [elliot

      murphy]

    - auto-publish feature for multiple branches under a single folder (see

      loggerhead.conf.example)

    - added the ability to share cache files per-project instead of just

      per-branch

    - added side-by-side diff display for the revision page (which is the

      default), with a button to switch between side-by-side and unified diff

      format

    - made caching use file locking, and close cleanly on shutdown

    - miscellaneous speed and page-size improvements

1.0  [23dec2006]

----------------

    - initial release
