What's changed in loggerhead?
2
=============================
6
- Added --port, --host and --prefix options to serve-branches
7
script. (Martin Albisetti)
9
- Fixed broken template for project browsing with start-loggerhead
12
- Added --reload options to restart the application when a python
13
file change. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
15
- Added error handling middleware. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
17
- Fix bug #243415 ("Tracebacks go to console but not log
18
file"). Also minor improvements to logging in serve-branches and
19
start-loggerhead. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
24
- Download a diffs between revisions. (Martin Albisetti)
26
- Modified templates to make loggerhead's theme easier to
29
- Default sqlite interface is now sqlite3. (Robert Collins)
31
- New ninja theme sponsored by Canonical (Martin Albisetti)
33
- Added COPYING file and clarified copyright headers (John Arbash Meinel)
35
- Remove the .py extension requiered by the Debian Policy.
38
- New startup script serve-branches will serve Loggerhead without
39
the need of configuration, and allow you to browse through directories
40
and branches. (Michael Hudson)
42
- Loggerhead is no longer a TurboGears application, but rather a
43
WSGI application built using Paste (see http://wsgi.org/ and
44
http://pythonpaste.org/ for more about WSGI and Paste).
46
- URLs now use revision numbers instead of revision ids (Martin Albisetti)
48
- The scripts no longer insist on Python 2.4 -- loggerhead works
51
- Bazaar as of version 1.5 has improved in performance enough that
52
the revision cache no longer gave any noticeable benefit, so it
53
was removed (the files-changed cache is still useful).
55
- The templates were rewritten in Zope's TAL markup, powered by
56
the simpleTAL library -- improving both the performance and
57
memory consumption of rendering by a factor of around 3 for
58
large pages over the old Kid templates.
60
- Loggerhead's poorly performing text index was disabled. bzr-search
61
is now used if the plugin is installed and a text index is present
62
on the branch being viewed. (Martin Albisetti, Robert Collins).
64
- Loggerhead no longer depends on bzrlib functions deprecated in
65
Bazaar 1.5 and removed in 1.6 (Martin Albisetti).
67
- The daemonization code was made more regular, fixing bugs
68
#139161 ("Starting loggerhead process may not close its stdin
69
and stdout properly") and #211526 ("Codebrowse log directory has
70
unnecessarily permissive permissions")
72
- Some confusion about what the 'file_id' query argument means was
73
cleared up: filter_file_id now means "filter revisions to those
74
that affect this file" in all views and file_id means "examine
75
this file/directory" in the annotate and inventory views.
77
- Dates are present more compactly.
79
- The loggerhead.conf file can specify which network interface to
80
bind to (Mattias Eriksson)
85
- The changelog view was out of order when not using the revision
90
- Michael Hudson <michael.hudson@canonical.com> has mostly taken
91
over the maintenance of loggerhead.
93
- loggerhead now has a simple test suite -- use 'nosetests' in the
94
loggerhead directory to run it.
96
- The rendering performance of pages that display large amounts of
97
text was improved by a factor of 4 or so.
99
- loggerhead no longer caches the text of the diffs between
100
revisions. It rarely helped and wasted a lot of disk space.
102
- The layout of most pages was made more "tight" to waste less
103
screen real estate, and some other UI improvements (Kent
106
- Much dead code was removed.
108
- Loggerhead now computes the files changed between revisions only
109
when it needs to know this. This is a fairly expensive
110
operation in Bazaar, and doing it less massively improves
111
performance and memory usage in some situations.
113
- Loggerhead now takes a read lock on the branch being viewed for
114
the duration of each request, which improves performance
117
- Loggerhead no longer uses the corruption-prone Berkely DB-backed
118
shelve module for its caches, and rather (ab)uses a sqlite
121
- The creation of History objects is much faster for large
122
branches (Aaron Bentley).
124
- Allow the construction of URLs using revnos and file paths as
125
well as revids and fileids (bug #98826):
127
- For changes pages, append the newest revno to display to the
128
URL, like http://.../changes/<revno>
130
- For annotate pages, append the revno to display to the URL,
131
followed by the path, like http://.../annotate/<revno>/<path>
133
- For file listing and revision pages append the revno to
134
display to the URL, like http://.../files/<revno>
136
Loggerhead still generates URLs using revision and file ids for
139
- Many bugs were fixed:
141
- Loggerhead does not escape special characters when embedding a
142
revision ID in a URL (bug #88286)
144
- Improved robustness in the face of ghosts.
146
- Don't crash on displaying a commit with an empty message (bug
149
- codebrowse fails with infinite redirections (James Henstridge,
152
- Loggerhead fails to browse revisions that change binary files
153
(James Henstridge, bug #91686)
155
- Loggerhead atom feeds expose internal hostname (James
156
Henstridge, bug #93585)
158
- loggerhead don't like page break character (0x0C) in text
161
- codebrowse source listings don't contain line number anchors
164
- only serve up unescaped user content with "Content-Disposition:
167
- viewing the file listing consumes a lot memory (bug #116869)
169
- loggerhead can't handle empty branches (bug #119228)
171
- upgrading the format of a branch behind loggerhead could make
172
it fail for that branch (bug #118673)
174
- Error parsing non-ascii content (bug #117799)
176
- Loggerhead failed on whitespace-only commit messages.
178
- Links to diffs from within a revision do not work (bug
181
- UTF-8 patches served as ISO-8859-1, fixed by served bundles as
182
application/octet-stream (bug #121336)
184
- TurboGears was turning query arguments into unicode, and bzr
185
stopped accepting unicode revids (bug #175228)
191
- fix broken inventory page (oops!)
193
- fix a few rendering problems with kid and safari
199
4
- new feature to compare two revisions to each other
201
6
- inserted text in diffs is now blue instead of green
203
8
- fixed to start and stop as a daemon now (use "-f" to run in the
204
9
foreground), and all config is in loggerhead.conf (no need to mess with
207
12
- renamed show/hide javascript buttons to expand/collapse, and made them
210
15
- added an atom-feed link to each branch on the browse page [elliot
213
18
- auto-publish feature for multiple branches under a single folder (see
214
19
loggerhead.conf.example)
216
21
- added the ability to share cache files per-project instead of just
219
24
- added side-by-side diff display for the revision page (which is the
220
25
default), with a button to switch between side-by-side and unified diff
223
28
- made caching use file locking, and close cleanly on shutdown

30
- miscellaneous speed and page-size improvements
