=============================
7
- Michael Hudson <michael.hudson@canonical.com> has mostly taken
8
over the maintenance of loggerhead.
10
- loggerhead now has a simple test suite -- use 'nosetests' in the
11
loggerhead directory to run it.
13
- The rendering performance of pages that display large amounts of
14
text was improved by a factor of 4 or so.
16
- loggerhead no longer caches the text of the diffs between
17
revisions. It rarely helped and wasted a lot of disk space.
19
- The layout of most pages was made more "tight" to waste less
20
screen real estate, and some other UI improvements (Kent
23
- Much dead code was removed.
25
- Loggerhead now computes the files changed between revisions only
26
when it needs to know this, which is a fairly expensive
27
operation in Bazaar. This massively improves performance and
28
memory usage in some situations.
30
- Loggerhead now takes a read lock on the branch being viewed for
31
the duration of each request, which improves performance
34
- Loggerhead no longer uses the corruption-prone Berkely DB-backed
35
shelve module for its caches, and rather (ab)uses a sqlite
38
- The creation of History objects is much faster for large
39
branches (Aaron Bentley).
41
- Many bugs were fixed:
43
- Loggerhead does not escape special characters when embedding a
44
revision ID in a URL (bug #88286)
46
- Improved robustness ines the face of ghosts.
48
- Don't crash on displaying a commit with an empty message (bug
51
- codebrowse fails with infinite redirections (James Henstridge,
54
- Loggerhead fails to browse revisions that change binary files
55
(James Henstridge, bug #91686)
57
- Loggerhead atom feeds expose internal hostname (James
58
Henstridge, bug #93585)
60
- Allow the construction of URLs using revnos and file paths as
61
well as revids and fileids (bug #98826)
63
- loggerhead don't like page break character (0x0C) in text
66
- codebrowse source listings don't contain line number anchors
69
- only serve up unescaped user content with "Content-Disposition:
72
- viewing the file listing consumes a lot memory (bug #116869)
74
- loggerhead can't handle empty branches (bug #119228)
76
- upgrading the format of a branch behind loggerhead could make
77
it fail for that branch (bug #118673)
79
- Error parsing non-ascii content (bug #117799)
81
- Loggerhead failed on whitespace-only commit messages.
83
- Links to diffs from within a revision do not work (bug
86
- UTF-8 patches served as ISO-8859-1, fixed by served bundles as
87
application/octet-stream (bug #121336)
89
- TurboGears was turning query arguments into unicode, and bzr
90
stopped accepting unicode revids (bug #175228)
8
96
- fix broken inventory page (oops!)
10
98
- fix a few rendering problems with kid and safari
16
104
- new feature to compare two revisions to each other
18
106
- inserted text in diffs is now blue instead of green
20
108
- fixed to start and stop as a daemon now (use "-f" to run in the
21
109
foreground), and all config is in loggerhead.conf (no need to mess with
24
112
- renamed show/hide javascript buttons to expand/collapse, and made them
27
115
- added an atom-feed link to each branch on the browse page [elliot
30
118
- auto-publish feature for multiple branches under a single folder (see
31
119
loggerhead.conf.example)
33
121
- added the ability to share cache files per-project instead of just
36
124
- added side-by-side diff display for the revision page (which is the
37
125
default), with a button to switch between side-by-side and unified diff
40
128
- made caching use file locking, and close cleanly on shutdown
42
130
- miscellaneous speed and page-size improvements
added
removed
