What's changed in loggerhead?
2
=============================
7
- New ninja theme sponsored by Canonical (Martin Albisetti)
9
- Loggerhead is no longer a TurboGears application, but rather a
10
WSGI application built using Paste (see http://wsgi.org/ and
11
http://pythonpaste.org/ for more about WSGI and Paste). XXX more.
13
- zpt.cleaner_urls bug 138021 ("loggerhead should generate links
14
based on revision numbers and file paths"). XXX more.
16
- The scripts no longer insist on Python 2.4 -- loggerhead works
19
- Bazaar as of version 1.5 has improved in performance enough that
20
the revision cache no longer gave any noticeable benefit, so it
21
was removed (the files-changed cache is still useful).
23
- The templates were rewritten in Zope's TAL markup, powered by
24
the simpleTAL library -- improving both the performance and
25
memory consumption of rendering by a factor of around 3 for
26
large pages over the old Kid templates.
28
- Loggerhead's poorly performing text index was disabled. bzr-search
29
is now used if the plugin is installed and a text index is present
30
on the branch being viewed. (Martin Albisetti, Robert Collins).
32
- Loggerhead no longer depends on bzrlib functions deprecated in
33
Bazaar 1.5 and removed in 1.6 (Martin Albisetti).
35
- The daemonization code was made more regular, fixing bugs
36
#139161 ("Starting loggerhead process may not close its stdin
37
and stdout properly") and #211526 ("Codebrowse log directory has
38
unnecessarily permissive permissions")
40
- Some confusion about what the 'file_id' query argument means was
41
cleared up: filter_file_id now means "filter revisions to those
42
that affect this file" in all views and file_id means "examine
43
this file/directory" in the annotate and inventory views.
45
- Dates are present more compactly.
47
- The loggerhead.conf file can specify which network interface to
48
bind to (Mattias Eriksson)
53
- The changelog view was out of order when not using the revision
59
- Michael Hudson <michael.hudson@canonical.com> has mostly taken
60
over the maintenance of loggerhead.
62
- loggerhead now has a simple test suite -- use 'nosetests' in the
63
loggerhead directory to run it.
65
- The rendering performance of pages that display large amounts of
66
text was improved by a factor of 4 or so.
68
- loggerhead no longer caches the text of the diffs between
69
revisions. It rarely helped and wasted a lot of disk space.
71
- The layout of most pages was made more "tight" to waste less
72
screen real estate, and some other UI improvements (Kent
75
- Much dead code was removed.
77
- Loggerhead now computes the files changed between revisions only
78
when it needs to know this. This is a fairly expensive
79
operation in Bazaar, and doing it less massively improves
80
performance and memory usage in some situations.
82
- Loggerhead now takes a read lock on the branch being viewed for
83
the duration of each request, which improves performance
86
- Loggerhead no longer uses the corruption-prone Berkely DB-backed
87
shelve module for its caches, and rather (ab)uses a sqlite
90
- The creation of History objects is much faster for large
91
branches (Aaron Bentley).
93
- Allow the construction of URLs using revnos and file paths as
94
well as revids and fileids (bug #98826):
96
- For changes pages, append the newest revno to display to the
97
URL, like http://.../changes/<revno>
99
- For annotate pages, append the revno to display to the URL,
100
followed by the path, like http://.../annotate/<revno>/<path>
102
- For file listing and revision pages append the revno to
103
display to the URL, like http://.../files/<revno>
105
Loggerhead still generates URLs using revision and file ids for
108
- Many bugs were fixed:
110
- Loggerhead does not escape special characters when embedding a
111
revision ID in a URL (bug #88286)
113
- Improved robustness in the face of ghosts.
115
- Don't crash on displaying a commit with an empty message (bug
118
- codebrowse fails with infinite redirections (James Henstridge,
121
- Loggerhead fails to browse revisions that change binary files
122
(James Henstridge, bug #91686)
124
- Loggerhead atom feeds expose internal hostname (James
125
Henstridge, bug #93585)
127
- loggerhead don't like page break character (0x0C) in text
130
- codebrowse source listings don't contain line number anchors
133
- only serve up unescaped user content with "Content-Disposition:
136
- viewing the file listing consumes a lot memory (bug #116869)
138
- loggerhead can't handle empty branches (bug #119228)
140
- upgrading the format of a branch behind loggerhead could make
141
it fail for that branch (bug #118673)
143
- Error parsing non-ascii content (bug #117799)
145
- Loggerhead failed on whitespace-only commit messages.
147
- Links to diffs from within a revision do not work (bug
150
- UTF-8 patches served as ISO-8859-1, fixed by served bundles as
151
application/octet-stream (bug #121336)
153
- TurboGears was turning query arguments into unicode, and bzr
154
stopped accepting unicode revids (bug #175228)
160
- fix broken inventory page (oops!)
162
- fix a few rendering problems with kid and safari
4
168
- new feature to compare two revisions to each other
6
170
- inserted text in diffs is now blue instead of green
8
172
- fixed to start and stop as a daemon now (use "-f" to run in the
9
173
foreground), and all config is in loggerhead.conf (no need to mess with
12
176
- renamed show/hide javascript buttons to expand/collapse, and made them
15
179
- added an atom-feed link to each branch on the browse page [elliot
18
182
- auto-publish feature for multiple branches under a single folder (see
19
183
loggerhead.conf.example)
21
185
- added the ability to share cache files per-project instead of just
24
188
- added side-by-side diff display for the revision page (which is the
25
189
default), with a button to switch between side-by-side and unified diff
28
192
- made caching use file locking, and close cleanly on shutdown
30
194
- miscellaneous speed and page-size improvements
