What's changed in loggerhead?
2
=============================
6
- Added --port, --host and --prefix options to serve-branches
7
script. (Martin Albisetti)
9
- Fixed broken template for project browsing with start-loggerhead
12
- Added error hanlding middleware. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
14
- Fix Bug# 243415. Also minor improvements to logging in serve-branches and start-loggerhead. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
19
- Download a diffs between revisions. (Martin Albisetti)
21
- Modified templates to make loggerhead's theme easier to
24
- Default sqlite interface is now sqlite3. (Robert Collins)
26
- New ninja theme sponsored by Canonical (Martin Albisetti)
28
- Added COPYING file and clarified copyright headers (John Arbash Meinel)
30
- Remove the .py extension requiered by the Debian Policy.
33
- New startup script serve-branches will serve Loggerhead without
34
the need of configuration, and allow you to browse through directories
35
and branches. (Michael Hudson)
37
- Loggerhead is no longer a TurboGears application, but rather a
38
WSGI application built using Paste (see http://wsgi.org/ and
39
http://pythonpaste.org/ for more about WSGI and Paste).
41
- URLs now use revision numbers instead of revision ids (Martin Albisetti)
43
- The scripts no longer insist on Python 2.4 -- loggerhead works
46
- Bazaar as of version 1.5 has improved in performance enough that
47
the revision cache no longer gave any noticeable benefit, so it
48
was removed (the files-changed cache is still useful).
50
- The templates were rewritten in Zope's TAL markup, powered by
51
the simpleTAL library -- improving both the performance and
52
memory consumption of rendering by a factor of around 3 for
53
large pages over the old Kid templates.
55
- Loggerhead's poorly performing text index was disabled. bzr-search
56
is now used if the plugin is installed and a text index is present
57
on the branch being viewed. (Martin Albisetti, Robert Collins).
59
- Loggerhead no longer depends on bzrlib functions deprecated in
60
Bazaar 1.5 and removed in 1.6 (Martin Albisetti).
62
- The daemonization code was made more regular, fixing bugs
63
#139161 ("Starting loggerhead process may not close its stdin
64
and stdout properly") and #211526 ("Codebrowse log directory has
65
unnecessarily permissive permissions")
67
- Some confusion about what the 'file_id' query argument means was
68
cleared up: filter_file_id now means "filter revisions to those
69
that affect this file" in all views and file_id means "examine
70
this file/directory" in the annotate and inventory views.
72
- Dates are present more compactly.
74
- The loggerhead.conf file can specify which network interface to
75
bind to (Mattias Eriksson)
80
- The changelog view was out of order when not using the revision
85
- Michael Hudson <michael.hudson@canonical.com> has mostly taken
86
over the maintenance of loggerhead.
88
- loggerhead now has a simple test suite -- use 'nosetests' in the
89
loggerhead directory to run it.
91
- The rendering performance of pages that display large amounts of
92
text was improved by a factor of 4 or so.
94
- loggerhead no longer caches the text of the diffs between
95
revisions. It rarely helped and wasted a lot of disk space.
97
- The layout of most pages was made more "tight" to waste less
98
screen real estate, and some other UI improvements (Kent
101
- Much dead code was removed.
103
- Loggerhead now computes the files changed between revisions only
104
when it needs to know this. This is a fairly expensive
105
operation in Bazaar, and doing it less massively improves
106
performance and memory usage in some situations.
108
- Loggerhead now takes a read lock on the branch being viewed for
109
the duration of each request, which improves performance
112
- Loggerhead no longer uses the corruption-prone Berkely DB-backed
113
shelve module for its caches, and rather (ab)uses a sqlite
116
- The creation of History objects is much faster for large
117
branches (Aaron Bentley).
119
- Allow the construction of URLs using revnos and file paths as
120
well as revids and fileids (bug #98826):
122
- For changes pages, append the newest revno to display to the
123
URL, like http://.../changes/<revno>
125
- For annotate pages, append the revno to display to the URL,
126
followed by the path, like http://.../annotate/<revno>/<path>
128
- For file listing and revision pages append the revno to
129
display to the URL, like http://.../files/<revno>
131
Loggerhead still generates URLs using revision and file ids for
134
- Many bugs were fixed:
136
- Loggerhead does not escape special characters when embedding a
137
revision ID in a URL (bug #88286)
139
- Improved robustness in the face of ghosts.
141
- Don't crash on displaying a commit with an empty message (bug
144
- codebrowse fails with infinite redirections (James Henstridge,
147
- Loggerhead fails to browse revisions that change binary files
148
(James Henstridge, bug #91686)
150
- Loggerhead atom feeds expose internal hostname (James
151
Henstridge, bug #93585)
153
- loggerhead don't like page break character (0x0C) in text
156
- codebrowse source listings don't contain line number anchors
159
- only serve up unescaped user content with "Content-Disposition:
162
- viewing the file listing consumes a lot memory (bug #116869)
164
- loggerhead can't handle empty branches (bug #119228)
166
- upgrading the format of a branch behind loggerhead could make
167
it fail for that branch (bug #118673)
169
- Error parsing non-ascii content (bug #117799)
171
- Loggerhead failed on whitespace-only commit messages.
173
- Links to diffs from within a revision do not work (bug
176
- UTF-8 patches served as ISO-8859-1, fixed by served bundles as
177
application/octet-stream (bug #121336)
179
- TurboGears was turning query arguments into unicode, and bzr
180
stopped accepting unicode revids (bug #175228)
186
- fix broken inventory page (oops!)
188
- fix a few rendering problems with kid and safari
194
- new feature to compare two revisions to each other
196
- inserted text in diffs is now blue instead of green
198
- fixed to start and stop as a daemon now (use "-f" to run in the
199
foreground), and all config is in loggerhead.conf (no need to mess with
202
- renamed show/hide javascript buttons to expand/collapse, and made them
205
- added an atom-feed link to each branch on the browse page [elliot
208
- auto-publish feature for multiple branches under a single folder (see
209
loggerhead.conf.example)
211
- added the ability to share cache files per-project instead of just
214
- added side-by-side diff display for the revision page (which is the
215
default), with a button to switch between side-by-side and unified diff
218
- made caching use file locking, and close cleanly on shutdown
220
- miscellaneous speed and page-size improvements
