What's changed in loggerhead?
2
=============================
7
- Download a diffs between revisions. (Martin Albisetti)
9
- Modified templates to make loggerhead's theme easier to
12
- Default sqlite interface is now sqlite3. (Robert Collins)
14
- New ninja theme sponsored by Canonical (Martin Albisetti)
16
- Added COPYING file and clarified copyright headers (John Arbash Meinel)
18
- Remove the .py extension requiered by the Debian Policy.
21
- New startup script serve-branches will serve Loggerhead without
22
the need of configuration, and allow you to browse through directories
23
and branches. (Michael Hudson)
25
- Loggerhead is no longer a TurboGears application, but rather a
26
WSGI application built using Paste (see http://wsgi.org/ and
27
http://pythonpaste.org/ for more about WSGI and Paste).
29
- URLs now use revision numbers instead of revision ids (Martin Albisetti)
31
- The scripts no longer insist on Python 2.4 -- loggerhead works
34
- Bazaar as of version 1.5 has improved in performance enough that
35
the revision cache no longer gave any noticeable benefit, so it
36
was removed (the files-changed cache is still useful).
38
- The templates were rewritten in Zope's TAL markup, powered by
39
the simpleTAL library -- improving both the performance and
40
memory consumption of rendering by a factor of around 3 for
41
large pages over the old Kid templates.
43
- Loggerhead's poorly performing text index was disabled. bzr-search
44
is now used if the plugin is installed and a text index is present
45
on the branch being viewed. (Martin Albisetti, Robert Collins).
47
- Loggerhead no longer depends on bzrlib functions deprecated in
48
Bazaar 1.5 and removed in 1.6 (Martin Albisetti).
50
- The daemonization code was made more regular, fixing bugs
51
#139161 ("Starting loggerhead process may not close its stdin
52
and stdout properly") and #211526 ("Codebrowse log directory has
53
unnecessarily permissive permissions")
55
- Some confusion about what the 'file_id' query argument means was
56
cleared up: filter_file_id now means "filter revisions to those
57
that affect this file" in all views and file_id means "examine
58
this file/directory" in the annotate and inventory views.
60
- Dates are present more compactly.
62
- The loggerhead.conf file can specify which network interface to
63
bind to (Mattias Eriksson)
68
- The changelog view was out of order when not using the revision
73
- Michael Hudson <michael.hudson@canonical.com> has mostly taken
74
over the maintenance of loggerhead.
76
- loggerhead now has a simple test suite -- use 'nosetests' in the
77
loggerhead directory to run it.
79
- The rendering performance of pages that display large amounts of
80
text was improved by a factor of 4 or so.
82
- loggerhead no longer caches the text of the diffs between
83
revisions. It rarely helped and wasted a lot of disk space.
85
- The layout of most pages was made more "tight" to waste less
86
screen real estate, and some other UI improvements (Kent
89
- Much dead code was removed.
91
- Loggerhead now computes the files changed between revisions only
92
when it needs to know this. This is a fairly expensive
93
operation in Bazaar, and doing it less massively improves
94
performance and memory usage in some situations.
96
- Loggerhead now takes a read lock on the branch being viewed for
97
the duration of each request, which improves performance
100
- Loggerhead no longer uses the corruption-prone Berkely DB-backed
101
shelve module for its caches, and rather (ab)uses a sqlite
104
- The creation of History objects is much faster for large
105
branches (Aaron Bentley).
107
- Allow the construction of URLs using revnos and file paths as
108
well as revids and fileids (bug #98826):
110
- For changes pages, append the newest revno to display to the
111
URL, like http://.../changes/<revno>
113
- For annotate pages, append the revno to display to the URL,
114
followed by the path, like http://.../annotate/<revno>/<path>
116
- For file listing and revision pages append the revno to
117
display to the URL, like http://.../files/<revno>
119
Loggerhead still generates URLs using revision and file ids for
122
- Many bugs were fixed:
124
- Loggerhead does not escape special characters when embedding a
125
revision ID in a URL (bug #88286)
127
- Improved robustness in the face of ghosts.
129
- Don't crash on displaying a commit with an empty message (bug
132
- codebrowse fails with infinite redirections (James Henstridge,
135
- Loggerhead fails to browse revisions that change binary files
136
(James Henstridge, bug #91686)
138
- Loggerhead atom feeds expose internal hostname (James
139
Henstridge, bug #93585)
141
- loggerhead don't like page break character (0x0C) in text
144
- codebrowse source listings don't contain line number anchors
147
- only serve up unescaped user content with "Content-Disposition:
150
- viewing the file listing consumes a lot memory (bug #116869)
152
- loggerhead can't handle empty branches (bug #119228)
154
- upgrading the format of a branch behind loggerhead could make
155
it fail for that branch (bug #118673)
157
- Error parsing non-ascii content (bug #117799)
159
- Loggerhead failed on whitespace-only commit messages.
161
- Links to diffs from within a revision do not work (bug
164
- UTF-8 patches served as ISO-8859-1, fixed by served bundles as
165
application/octet-stream (bug #121336)
167
- TurboGears was turning query arguments into unicode, and bzr
168
stopped accepting unicode revids (bug #175228)
174
- fix broken inventory page (oops!)
176
- fix a few rendering problems with kid and safari
4
182
- new feature to compare two revisions to each other
6
184
- inserted text in diffs is now blue instead of green
8
186
- fixed to start and stop as a daemon now (use "-f" to run in the
9
187
foreground), and all config is in loggerhead.conf (no need to mess with
12
190
- renamed show/hide javascript buttons to expand/collapse, and made them
15
193
- added an atom-feed link to each branch on the browse page [elliot
18
196
- auto-publish feature for multiple branches under a single folder (see
19
197
loggerhead.conf.example)
21
199
- added the ability to share cache files per-project instead of just
24
202
- added side-by-side diff display for the revision page (which is the
25
203
default), with a button to switch between side-by-side and unified diff
28
206
- made caching use file locking, and close cleanly on shutdown
30
208
- miscellaneous speed and page-size improvements
