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 --reload options to restart the application when a python
13
file change. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
18
- Download a diffs between revisions. (Martin Albisetti)
20
- Modified templates to make loggerhead's theme easier to
23
- Default sqlite interface is now sqlite3. (Robert Collins)
25
- New ninja theme sponsored by Canonical (Martin Albisetti)
27
- Added COPYING file and clarified copyright headers (John Arbash Meinel)
29
- Remove the .py extension requiered by the Debian Policy.
32
- New startup script serve-branches will serve Loggerhead without
33
the need of configuration, and allow you to browse through directories
34
and branches. (Michael Hudson)
36
- Loggerhead is no longer a TurboGears application, but rather a
37
WSGI application built using Paste (see http://wsgi.org/ and
38
http://pythonpaste.org/ for more about WSGI and Paste).
40
- URLs now use revision numbers instead of revision ids (Martin Albisetti)
42
- The scripts no longer insist on Python 2.4 -- loggerhead works
45
- Bazaar as of version 1.5 has improved in performance enough that
46
the revision cache no longer gave any noticeable benefit, so it
47
was removed (the files-changed cache is still useful).
49
- The templates were rewritten in Zope's TAL markup, powered by
50
the simpleTAL library -- improving both the performance and
51
memory consumption of rendering by a factor of around 3 for
52
large pages over the old Kid templates.
54
- Loggerhead's poorly performing text index was disabled. bzr-search
55
is now used if the plugin is installed and a text index is present
56
on the branch being viewed. (Martin Albisetti, Robert Collins).
58
- Loggerhead no longer depends on bzrlib functions deprecated in
59
Bazaar 1.5 and removed in 1.6 (Martin Albisetti).
61
- The daemonization code was made more regular, fixing bugs
62
#139161 ("Starting loggerhead process may not close its stdin
63
and stdout properly") and #211526 ("Codebrowse log directory has
64
unnecessarily permissive permissions")
66
- Some confusion about what the 'file_id' query argument means was
67
cleared up: filter_file_id now means "filter revisions to those
68
that affect this file" in all views and file_id means "examine
69
this file/directory" in the annotate and inventory views.
71
- Dates are present more compactly.
73
- The loggerhead.conf file can specify which network interface to
74
bind to (Mattias Eriksson)
79
- The changelog view was out of order when not using the revision
84
- Michael Hudson <michael.hudson@canonical.com> has mostly taken
85
over the maintenance of loggerhead.
87
- loggerhead now has a simple test suite -- use 'nosetests' in the
88
loggerhead directory to run it.
90
- The rendering performance of pages that display large amounts of
91
text was improved by a factor of 4 or so.
93
- loggerhead no longer caches the text of the diffs between
94
revisions. It rarely helped and wasted a lot of disk space.
96
- The layout of most pages was made more "tight" to waste less
97
screen real estate, and some other UI improvements (Kent
100
- Much dead code was removed.
102
- Loggerhead now computes the files changed between revisions only
103
when it needs to know this. This is a fairly expensive
104
operation in Bazaar, and doing it less massively improves
105
performance and memory usage in some situations.
107
- Loggerhead now takes a read lock on the branch being viewed for
108
the duration of each request, which improves performance
111
- Loggerhead no longer uses the corruption-prone Berkely DB-backed
112
shelve module for its caches, and rather (ab)uses a sqlite
115
- The creation of History objects is much faster for large
116
branches (Aaron Bentley).
118
- Allow the construction of URLs using revnos and file paths as
119
well as revids and fileids (bug #98826):
121
- For changes pages, append the newest revno to display to the
122
URL, like http://.../changes/<revno>
124
- For annotate pages, append the revno to display to the URL,
125
followed by the path, like http://.../annotate/<revno>/<path>
127
- For file listing and revision pages append the revno to
128
display to the URL, like http://.../files/<revno>
130
Loggerhead still generates URLs using revision and file ids for
133
- Many bugs were fixed:
135
- Loggerhead does not escape special characters when embedding a
136
revision ID in a URL (bug #88286)
138
- Improved robustness in the face of ghosts.
140
- Don't crash on displaying a commit with an empty message (bug
143
- codebrowse fails with infinite redirections (James Henstridge,
146
- Loggerhead fails to browse revisions that change binary files
147
(James Henstridge, bug #91686)
149
- Loggerhead atom feeds expose internal hostname (James
150
Henstridge, bug #93585)
152
- loggerhead don't like page break character (0x0C) in text
155
- codebrowse source listings don't contain line number anchors
158
- only serve up unescaped user content with "Content-Disposition:
161
- viewing the file listing consumes a lot memory (bug #116869)
163
- loggerhead can't handle empty branches (bug #119228)
165
- upgrading the format of a branch behind loggerhead could make
166
it fail for that branch (bug #118673)
168
- Error parsing non-ascii content (bug #117799)
170
- Loggerhead failed on whitespace-only commit messages.
172
- Links to diffs from within a revision do not work (bug
175
- UTF-8 patches served as ISO-8859-1, fixed by served bundles as
176
application/octet-stream (bug #121336)
178
- TurboGears was turning query arguments into unicode, and bzr
179
stopped accepting unicode revids (bug #175228)
185
- fix broken inventory page (oops!)
187
- fix a few rendering problems with kid and safari
4
193
- new feature to compare two revisions to each other
6
195
- inserted text in diffs is now blue instead of green
8
197
- fixed to start and stop as a daemon now (use "-f" to run in the
9
198
foreground), and all config is in loggerhead.conf (no need to mess with
12
201
- renamed show/hide javascript buttons to expand/collapse, and made them
15
204
- added an atom-feed link to each branch on the browse page [elliot
18
207
- auto-publish feature for multiple branches under a single folder (see
19
208
loggerhead.conf.example)
21
210
- added the ability to share cache files per-project instead of just
24
213
- added side-by-side diff display for the revision page (which is the
25
214
default), with a button to switch between side-by-side and unified diff
28
217
- made caching use file locking, and close cleanly on shutdown

219
- miscellaneous speed and page-size improvements
