What's changed in loggerhead?
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
- Michael Hudson <michael.hudson@canonical.com> has mostly taken
65
over the maintenance of loggerhead.
67
- loggerhead now has a simple test suite -- use 'nosetests' in the
68
loggerhead directory to run it.
70
- The rendering performance of pages that display large amounts of
71
text was improved by a factor of 4 or so.
73
- loggerhead no longer caches the text of the diffs between
74
revisions. It rarely helped and wasted a lot of disk space.
76
- The layout of most pages was made more "tight" to waste less
77
screen real estate, and some other UI improvements (Kent
80
- Much dead code was removed.
82
- 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.
87
- Loggerhead now takes a read lock on the branch being viewed for
88
the duration of each request, which improves performance
91
- Loggerhead no longer uses the corruption-prone Berkely DB-backed
92
shelve module for its caches, and rather (ab)uses a sqlite
95
- The creation of History objects is much faster for large
96
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
- Many bugs were fixed:
115
- Loggerhead does not escape special characters when embedding a
116
revision ID in a URL (bug #88286)
118
- Improved robustness in the face of ghosts.
120
- Don't crash on displaying a commit with an empty message (bug
123
- codebrowse fails with infinite redirections (James Henstridge,
126
- Loggerhead fails to browse revisions that change binary files
127
(James Henstridge, bug #91686)
129
- Loggerhead atom feeds expose internal hostname (James
130
Henstridge, bug #93585)
132
- loggerhead don't like page break character (0x0C) in text
135
- codebrowse source listings don't contain line number anchors
138
- only serve up unescaped user content with "Content-Disposition:
141
- viewing the file listing consumes a lot memory (bug #116869)
143
- loggerhead can't handle empty branches (bug #119228)
145
- upgrading the format of a branch behind loggerhead could make
146
it fail for that branch (bug #118673)
148
- Error parsing non-ascii content (bug #117799)
150
- Loggerhead failed on whitespace-only commit messages.
152
- Links to diffs from within a revision do not work (bug
155
- UTF-8 patches served as ISO-8859-1, fixed by served bundles as
156
application/octet-stream (bug #121336)
158
- TurboGears was turning query arguments into unicode, and bzr
159
stopped accepting unicode revids (bug #175228)
165
- fix broken inventory page (oops!)
167
- fix a few rendering problems with kid and safari
173
- new feature to compare two revisions to each other
175
- inserted text in diffs is now blue instead of green
177
- fixed to start and stop as a daemon now (use "-f" to run in the
178
foreground), and all config is in loggerhead.conf (no need to mess with
181
- renamed show/hide javascript buttons to expand/collapse, and made them
184
- added an atom-feed link to each branch on the browse page [elliot
187
- auto-publish feature for multiple branches under a single folder (see
188
loggerhead.conf.example)
190
- added the ability to share cache files per-project instead of just
193
- added side-by-side diff display for the revision page (which is the
194
default), with a button to switch between side-by-side and unified diff
197
- made caching use file locking, and close cleanly on shutdown
199
- miscellaneous speed and page-size improvements
