What's changed in loggerhead?
2
=============================
7
- Default sqlite interface is now sqlite3. (Robert Collins)
9
- New ninja theme sponsored by Canonical (Martin Albisetti)
11
- Added COPYING file and clarified copyright headers (John Arbash Meinel)
13
- Remove the .py extension requiered by the Debian Policy.
16
- Loggerhead is no longer a TurboGears application, but rather a
17
WSGI application built using Paste (see http://wsgi.org/ and
18
http://pythonpaste.org/ for more about WSGI and Paste). XXX more.
20
- zpt.cleaner_urls bug 138021 ("loggerhead should generate links
21
based on revision numbers and file paths"). XXX more.
23
- The scripts no longer insist on Python 2.4 -- loggerhead works
26
- Bazaar as of version 1.5 has improved in performance enough that
27
the revision cache no longer gave any noticeable benefit, so it
28
was removed (the files-changed cache is still useful).
30
- The templates were rewritten in Zope's TAL markup, powered by
31
the simpleTAL library -- improving both the performance and
32
memory consumption of rendering by a factor of around 3 for
33
large pages over the old Kid templates.
35
- Loggerhead's poorly performing text index was disabled. bzr-search
36
is now used if the plugin is installed and a text index is present
37
on the branch being viewed. (Martin Albisetti, Robert Collins).
39
- Loggerhead no longer depends on bzrlib functions deprecated in
40
Bazaar 1.5 and removed in 1.6 (Martin Albisetti).
42
- The daemonization code was made more regular, fixing bugs
43
#139161 ("Starting loggerhead process may not close its stdin
44
and stdout properly") and #211526 ("Codebrowse log directory has
45
unnecessarily permissive permissions")
47
- Some confusion about what the 'file_id' query argument means was
48
cleared up: filter_file_id now means "filter revisions to those
49
that affect this file" in all views and file_id means "examine
50
this file/directory" in the annotate and inventory views.
52
- Dates are present more compactly.
54
- The loggerhead.conf file can specify which network interface to
55
bind to (Mattias Eriksson)
60
- The changelog view was out of order when not using the revision
65
- Michael Hudson <michael.hudson@canonical.com> has mostly taken
66
over the maintenance of loggerhead.
68
- loggerhead now has a simple test suite -- use 'nosetests' in the
69
loggerhead directory to run it.
71
- The rendering performance of pages that display large amounts of
72
text was improved by a factor of 4 or so.
74
- loggerhead no longer caches the text of the diffs between
75
revisions. It rarely helped and wasted a lot of disk space.
77
- The layout of most pages was made more "tight" to waste less
78
screen real estate, and some other UI improvements (Kent
81
- Much dead code was removed.
83
- Loggerhead now computes the files changed between revisions only
84
when it needs to know this. This is a fairly expensive
85
operation in Bazaar, and doing it less massively improves
86
performance and memory usage in some situations.
88
- Loggerhead now takes a read lock on the branch being viewed for
89
the duration of each request, which improves performance
92
- Loggerhead no longer uses the corruption-prone Berkely DB-backed
93
shelve module for its caches, and rather (ab)uses a sqlite
96
- The creation of History objects is much faster for large
97
branches (Aaron Bentley).
99
- Allow the construction of URLs using revnos and file paths as
100
well as revids and fileids (bug #98826):
102
- For changes pages, append the newest revno to display to the
103
URL, like http://.../changes/<revno>
105
- For annotate pages, append the revno to display to the URL,
106
followed by the path, like http://.../annotate/<revno>/<path>
108
- For file listing and revision pages append the revno to
109
display to the URL, like http://.../files/<revno>
111
Loggerhead still generates URLs using revision and file ids for
114
- Many bugs were fixed:
116
- Loggerhead does not escape special characters when embedding a
117
revision ID in a URL (bug #88286)
119
- Improved robustness in the face of ghosts.
121
- Don't crash on displaying a commit with an empty message (bug
124
- codebrowse fails with infinite redirections (James Henstridge,
127
- Loggerhead fails to browse revisions that change binary files
128
(James Henstridge, bug #91686)
130
- Loggerhead atom feeds expose internal hostname (James
131
Henstridge, bug #93585)
133
- loggerhead don't like page break character (0x0C) in text
136
- codebrowse source listings don't contain line number anchors
139
- only serve up unescaped user content with "Content-Disposition:
142
- viewing the file listing consumes a lot memory (bug #116869)
144
- loggerhead can't handle empty branches (bug #119228)
146
- upgrading the format of a branch behind loggerhead could make
147
it fail for that branch (bug #118673)
149
- Error parsing non-ascii content (bug #117799)
151
- Loggerhead failed on whitespace-only commit messages.
153
- Links to diffs from within a revision do not work (bug
156
- UTF-8 patches served as ISO-8859-1, fixed by served bundles as
157
application/octet-stream (bug #121336)
159
- TurboGears was turning query arguments into unicode, and bzr
160
stopped accepting unicode revids (bug #175228)
166
- fix broken inventory page (oops!)
168
- fix a few rendering problems with kid and safari
174
4
- new feature to compare two revisions to each other
176
6
- inserted text in diffs is now blue instead of green
178
8
- fixed to start and stop as a daemon now (use "-f" to run in the
179
9
foreground), and all config is in loggerhead.conf (no need to mess with
182
12
- renamed show/hide javascript buttons to expand/collapse, and made them
185
15
- added an atom-feed link to each branch on the browse page [elliot
188
18
- auto-publish feature for multiple branches under a single folder (see
189
19
loggerhead.conf.example)
191
21
- added the ability to share cache files per-project instead of just
194
24
- added side-by-side diff display for the revision page (which is the
195
25
default), with a button to switch between side-by-side and unified diff
198
28
- made caching use file locking, and close cleanly on shutdown
200
30
- miscellaneous speed and page-size improvements
