What's changed in loggerhead?
2
=============================
7
- The changelog view was out of order when not using the revision
13
- Michael Hudson <michael.hudson@canonical.com> has mostly taken
14
over the maintenance of loggerhead.
16
- loggerhead now has a simple test suite -- use 'nosetests' in the
17
loggerhead directory to run it.
19
- The rendering performance of pages that display large amounts of
20
text was improved by a factor of 4 or so.
22
- loggerhead no longer caches the text of the diffs between
23
revisions. It rarely helped and wasted a lot of disk space.
25
- The layout of most pages was made more "tight" to waste less
26
screen real estate, and some other UI improvements (Kent
29
- Much dead code was removed.
31
- Loggerhead now computes the files changed between revisions only
32
when it needs to know this. This is a fairly expensive
33
operation in Bazaar, and doing it less massively improves
34
performance and memory usage in some situations.
36
- Loggerhead now takes a read lock on the branch being viewed for
37
the duration of each request, which improves performance
40
- Loggerhead no longer uses the corruption-prone Berkely DB-backed
41
shelve module for its caches, and rather (ab)uses a sqlite
44
- The creation of History objects is much faster for large
45
branches (Aaron Bentley).
47
- Allow the construction of URLs using revnos and file paths as
48
well as revids and fileids (bug #98826):
50
- For changes pages, append the newest revno to display to the
51
URL, like http://.../changes/<revno>
53
- For annotate pages, append the revno to display to the URL,
54
followed by the path, like http://.../annotate/<revno>/<path>
56
- For file listing and revision pages append the revno to
57
display to the URL, like http://.../files/<revno>
59
Loggerhead still generates URLs using revision and file ids for
62
- Many bugs were fixed:
64
- Loggerhead does not escape special characters when embedding a
65
revision ID in a URL (bug #88286)
67
- Improved robustness in the face of ghosts.
69
- Don't crash on displaying a commit with an empty message (bug
72
- codebrowse fails with infinite redirections (James Henstridge,
75
- Loggerhead fails to browse revisions that change binary files
76
(James Henstridge, bug #91686)
78
- Loggerhead atom feeds expose internal hostname (James
79
Henstridge, bug #93585)
81
- loggerhead don't like page break character (0x0C) in text
84
- codebrowse source listings don't contain line number anchors
87
- only serve up unescaped user content with "Content-Disposition:
90
- viewing the file listing consumes a lot memory (bug #116869)
92
- loggerhead can't handle empty branches (bug #119228)
94
- upgrading the format of a branch behind loggerhead could make
95
it fail for that branch (bug #118673)
97
- Error parsing non-ascii content (bug #117799)
99
- Loggerhead failed on whitespace-only commit messages.
101
- Links to diffs from within a revision do not work (bug
104
- UTF-8 patches served as ISO-8859-1, fixed by served bundles as
105
application/octet-stream (bug #121336)
107
- TurboGears was turning query arguments into unicode, and bzr
108
stopped accepting unicode revids (bug #175228)
114
- fix broken inventory page (oops!)
116
- fix a few rendering problems with kid and safari
122
4
- new feature to compare two revisions to each other
124
6
- inserted text in diffs is now blue instead of green
126
8
- fixed to start and stop as a daemon now (use "-f" to run in the
127
9
foreground), and all config is in loggerhead.conf (no need to mess with
130
12
- renamed show/hide javascript buttons to expand/collapse, and made them
133
15
- added an atom-feed link to each branch on the browse page [elliot
136
18
- auto-publish feature for multiple branches under a single folder (see
137
19
loggerhead.conf.example)
139
21
- added the ability to share cache files per-project instead of just
142
24
- added side-by-side diff display for the revision page (which is the
143
25
default), with a button to switch between side-by-side and unified diff
146
28
- made caching use file locking, and close cleanly on shutdown
148
