What's changed in loggerhead?
2
2
=============================
7
- New ninja theme sponsored by Canonical (Martin Albisetti)
9
- Added COPYING file and clarified copyright headers (John Arbash Meinel)
11
- Remove the .py extension requiered by the Debian Policy.
14
- Loggerhead is no longer a TurboGears application, but rather a
15
WSGI application built using Paste (see http://wsgi.org/ and
16
http://pythonpaste.org/ for more about WSGI and Paste). XXX more.
18
- zpt.cleaner_urls bug 138021 ("loggerhead should generate links
19
based on revision numbers and file paths"). XXX more.
21
- The scripts no longer insist on Python 2.4 -- loggerhead works
24
- Bazaar as of version 1.5 has improved in performance enough that
25
the revision cache no longer gave any noticeable benefit, so it
26
was removed (the files-changed cache is still useful).
28
- The templates were rewritten in Zope's TAL markup, powered by
29
the simpleTAL library -- improving both the performance and
30
memory consumption of rendering by a factor of around 3 for
31
large pages over the old Kid templates.
33
- Loggerhead's poorly performing text index was disabled. bzr-search
34
is now used if the plugin is installed and a text index is present
35
on the branch being viewed. (Martin Albisetti, Robert Collins).
37
- Loggerhead no longer depends on bzrlib functions deprecated in
38
Bazaar 1.5 and removed in 1.6 (Martin Albisetti).
40
- The daemonization code was made more regular, fixing bugs
41
#139161 ("Starting loggerhead process may not close its stdin
42
and stdout properly") and #211526 ("Codebrowse log directory has
43
unnecessarily permissive permissions")
45
- Some confusion about what the 'file_id' query argument means was
46
cleared up: filter_file_id now means "filter revisions to those
47
that affect this file" in all views and file_id means "examine
48
this file/directory" in the annotate and inventory views.
50
- Dates are present more compactly.
52
- The loggerhead.conf file can specify which network interface to
53
bind to (Mattias Eriksson)
58
- The changelog view was out of order when not using the revision
64
7
- Michael Hudson <michael.hudson@canonical.com> has mostly taken
80
23
- Much dead code was removed.
82
25
- Loggerhead now computes the files changed between revisions only
83
when it needs to know this. This is a fairly expensive
84
operation in Bazaar, and doing it less massively improves
85
performance and memory usage in some situations.
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.
87
30
- Loggerhead now takes a read lock on the branch being viewed for
88
31
the duration of each request, which improves performance
95
38
- The creation of History objects is much faster for large
96
39
branches (Aaron Bentley).
98
- Allow the construction of URLs using revnos and file paths as
99
well as revids and fileids (bug #98826):
101
- For changes pages, append the newest revno to display to the
102
URL, like http://.../changes/<revno>
104
- For annotate pages, append the revno to display to the URL,
105
followed by the path, like http://.../annotate/<revno>/<path>
107
- For file listing and revision pages append the revno to
108
display to the URL, like http://.../files/<revno>
110
Loggerhead still generates URLs using revision and file ids for
113
41
- Many bugs were fixed:
115
43
- Loggerhead does not escape special characters when embedding a
116
44
revision ID in a URL (bug #88286)
118
- Improved robustness in the face of ghosts.
46
- Improved robustness ines the face of ghosts.
