What's changed in loggerhead?
2
3
=============================
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 hanlding middleware. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
17
- Fix Bug# 243415. Also minor improvements to logging in serve-branches and start-loggerhead. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
22
- Download a diffs between revisions. (Martin Albisetti)
24
- Modified templates to make loggerhead's theme easier to
27
- Default sqlite interface is now sqlite3. (Robert Collins)
29
- New ninja theme sponsored by Canonical (Martin Albisetti)
31
- Added COPYING file and clarified copyright headers (John Arbash Meinel)
33
- Remove the .py extension requiered by the Debian Policy.
36
- New startup script serve-branches will serve Loggerhead without
37
the need of configuration, and allow you to browse through directories
38
and branches. (Michael Hudson)
40
- Loggerhead is no longer a TurboGears application, but rather a
41
WSGI application built using Paste (see http://wsgi.org/ and
42
http://pythonpaste.org/ for more about WSGI and Paste).
44
- URLs now use revision numbers instead of revision ids (Martin Albisetti)
46
- The scripts no longer insist on Python 2.4 -- loggerhead works
49
- Bazaar as of version 1.5 has improved in performance enough that
50
the revision cache no longer gave any noticeable benefit, so it
51
was removed (the files-changed cache is still useful).
53
- The templates were rewritten in Zope's TAL markup, powered by
54
the simpleTAL library -- improving both the performance and
55
memory consumption of rendering by a factor of around 3 for
56
large pages over the old Kid templates.
58
- Loggerhead's poorly performing text index was disabled. bzr-search
59
is now used if the plugin is installed and a text index is present
60
on the branch being viewed. (Martin Albisetti, Robert Collins).
62
- Loggerhead no longer depends on bzrlib functions deprecated in
63
Bazaar 1.5 and removed in 1.6 (Martin Albisetti).
65
- The daemonization code was made more regular, fixing bugs
66
#139161 ("Starting loggerhead process may not close its stdin
67
and stdout properly") and #211526 ("Codebrowse log directory has
68
unnecessarily permissive permissions")
70
- Some confusion about what the 'file_id' query argument means was
71
cleared up: filter_file_id now means "filter revisions to those
72
that affect this file" in all views and file_id means "examine
73
this file/directory" in the annotate and inventory views.
75
- Dates are present more compactly.
77
- The loggerhead.conf file can specify which network interface to
78
bind to (Mattias Eriksson)
83
- The changelog view was out of order when not using the revision
88
- Michael Hudson <michael.hudson@canonical.com> has mostly taken
89
over the maintenance of loggerhead.
91
- loggerhead now has a simple test suite -- use 'nosetests' in the
92
loggerhead directory to run it.
94
- The rendering performance of pages that display large amounts of
95
text was improved by a factor of 4 or so.
97
- loggerhead no longer caches the text of the diffs between
98
revisions. It rarely helped and wasted a lot of disk space.
100
- The layout of most pages was made more "tight" to waste less
101
screen real estate, and some other UI improvements (Kent
104
- Much dead code was removed.
106
- Loggerhead now computes the files changed between revisions only
107
when it needs to know this. This is a fairly expensive
108
operation in Bazaar, and doing it less massively improves
109
performance and memory usage in some situations.
111
- Loggerhead now takes a read lock on the branch being viewed for
112
the duration of each request, which improves performance
115
- Loggerhead no longer uses the corruption-prone Berkely DB-backed
116
shelve module for its caches, and rather (ab)uses a sqlite
119
- The creation of History objects is much faster for large
120
branches (Aaron Bentley).
122
- Allow the construction of URLs using revnos and file paths as
123
well as revids and fileids (bug #98826):
125
- For changes pages, append the newest revno to display to the
126
URL, like http://.../changes/<revno>
128
- For annotate pages, append the revno to display to the URL,
129
followed by the path, like http://.../annotate/<revno>/<path>
131
- For file listing and revision pages append the revno to
132
display to the URL, like http://.../files/<revno>
134
Loggerhead still generates URLs using revision and file ids for
137
- Many bugs were fixed:
139
- Loggerhead does not escape special characters when embedding a
140
revision ID in a URL (bug #88286)
142
- Improved robustness in the face of ghosts.
144
- Don't crash on displaying a commit with an empty message (bug
147
- codebrowse fails with infinite redirections (James Henstridge,
150
- Loggerhead fails to browse revisions that change binary files
151
(James Henstridge, bug #91686)
153
- Loggerhead atom feeds expose internal hostname (James
154
Henstridge, bug #93585)
156
- loggerhead don't like page break character (0x0C) in text
159
- codebrowse source listings don't contain line number anchors
162
- only serve up unescaped user content with "Content-Disposition:
165
- viewing the file listing consumes a lot memory (bug #116869)
167
- loggerhead can't handle empty branches (bug #119228)
169
- upgrading the format of a branch behind loggerhead could make
170
it fail for that branch (bug #118673)
172
- Error parsing non-ascii content (bug #117799)
174
- Loggerhead failed on whitespace-only commit messages.
176
- Links to diffs from within a revision do not work (bug
179
- UTF-8 patches served as ISO-8859-1, fixed by served bundles as
180
application/octet-stream (bug #121336)
182
- TurboGears was turning query arguments into unicode, and bzr
183
stopped accepting unicode revids (bug #175228)

- fix broken inventory page (oops!)
