What's changed in loggerhead?
2
=============================
10
- Add startup deamon script for Linux (Marius Kruger)
12
- Switch navigation from file_ids to paths. Fixes bugs #260363, #269365
13
and #128926. (Martin Albisetti)
15
- Fix bug #258710 ("the /files page explodes in an empty branch").
16
Also minor improvements to the /files and /changes pages.
19
- Added --port, --host and --prefix options to serve-branches
20
script. (Martin Albisetti)
22
- Fixed broken template for project browsing with start-loggerhead
25
- Added --reload options to restart the application when a python
26
file change. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
28
- Added error handling middleware. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
30
- Fix bug #243415 ("Tracebacks go to console but not log
31
file"). Also minor improvements to logging in serve-branches and
32
start-loggerhead. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
37
- Download a diffs between revisions. (Martin Albisetti)
39
- Modified templates to make loggerhead's theme easier to
42
- Default sqlite interface is now sqlite3. (Robert Collins)
44
- New ninja theme sponsored by Canonical (Martin Albisetti)
46
- Added COPYING file and clarified copyright headers (John Arbash Meinel)
48
- Remove the .py extension requiered by the Debian Policy.
51
- New startup script serve-branches will serve Loggerhead without
52
the need of configuration, and allow you to browse through directories
53
and branches. (Michael Hudson)
55
- Loggerhead is no longer a TurboGears application, but rather a
56
WSGI application built using Paste (see http://wsgi.org/ and
57
http://pythonpaste.org/ for more about WSGI and Paste).
59
- URLs now use revision numbers instead of revision ids (Martin Albisetti)
61
- The scripts no longer insist on Python 2.4 -- loggerhead works
64
- Bazaar as of version 1.5 has improved in performance enough that
65
the revision cache no longer gave any noticeable benefit, so it
66
was removed (the files-changed cache is still useful).
68
- The templates were rewritten in Zope's TAL markup, powered by
69
the simpleTAL library -- improving both the performance and
70
memory consumption of rendering by a factor of around 3 for
71
large pages over the old Kid templates.
73
- Loggerhead's poorly performing text index was disabled. bzr-search
74
is now used if the plugin is installed and a text index is present
75
on the branch being viewed. (Martin Albisetti, Robert Collins).
77
- Loggerhead no longer depends on bzrlib functions deprecated in
78
Bazaar 1.5 and removed in 1.6 (Martin Albisetti).
80
- The daemonization code was made more regular, fixing bugs
81
#139161 ("Starting loggerhead process may not close its stdin
82
and stdout properly") and #211526 ("Codebrowse log directory has
83
unnecessarily permissive permissions")
85
- Some confusion about what the 'file_id' query argument means was
86
cleared up: filter_file_id now means "filter revisions to those
87
that affect this file" in all views and file_id means "examine
88
this file/directory" in the annotate and inventory views.
90
- Dates are present more compactly.
92
- The loggerhead.conf file can specify which network interface to
93
bind to (Mattias Eriksson)
98
- The changelog view was out of order when not using the revision
103
- Michael Hudson <michael.hudson@canonical.com> has mostly taken
104
over the maintenance of loggerhead.
106
- loggerhead now has a simple test suite -- use 'nosetests' in the
107
loggerhead directory to run it.
109
- The rendering performance of pages that display large amounts of
110
text was improved by a factor of 4 or so.
112
- loggerhead no longer caches the text of the diffs between
113
revisions. It rarely helped and wasted a lot of disk space.
115
- The layout of most pages was made more "tight" to waste less
116
screen real estate, and some other UI improvements (Kent
119
- Much dead code was removed.
121
- Loggerhead now computes the files changed between revisions only
122
when it needs to know this. This is a fairly expensive
123
operation in Bazaar, and doing it less massively improves
124
performance and memory usage in some situations.
126
- Loggerhead now takes a read lock on the branch being viewed for
127
the duration of each request, which improves performance
130
- Loggerhead no longer uses the corruption-prone Berkely DB-backed
131
shelve module for its caches, and rather (ab)uses a sqlite
134
- The creation of History objects is much faster for large
135
branches (Aaron Bentley).
137
- Allow the construction of URLs using revnos and file paths as
138
well as revids and fileids (bug #98826):
140
- For changes pages, append the newest revno to display to the
141
URL, like http://.../changes/<revno>
143
- For annotate pages, append the revno to display to the URL,
144
followed by the path, like http://.../annotate/<revno>/<path>
146
- For file listing and revision pages append the revno to
147
display to the URL, like http://.../files/<revno>
149
Loggerhead still generates URLs using revision and file ids for
152
- Many bugs were fixed:
154
- Loggerhead does not escape special characters when embedding a
155
revision ID in a URL (bug #88286)
157
- Improved robustness in the face of ghosts.
159
- Don't crash on displaying a commit with an empty message (bug
162
- codebrowse fails with infinite redirections (James Henstridge,
165
- Loggerhead fails to browse revisions that change binary files
166
(James Henstridge, bug #91686)
168
- Loggerhead atom feeds expose internal hostname (James
169
Henstridge, bug #93585)
171
- loggerhead don't like page break character (0x0C) in text
174
- codebrowse source listings don't contain line number anchors
177
- only serve up unescaped user content with "Content-Disposition:
180
- viewing the file listing consumes a lot memory (bug #116869)
182
- loggerhead can't handle empty branches (bug #119228)
184
- upgrading the format of a branch behind loggerhead could make
185
it fail for that branch (bug #118673)
187
- Error parsing non-ascii content (bug #117799)
189
- Loggerhead failed on whitespace-only commit messages.
191
- Links to diffs from within a revision do not work (bug
194
- UTF-8 patches served as ISO-8859-1, fixed by served bundles as
195
application/octet-stream (bug #121336)
197
- TurboGears was turning query arguments into unicode, and bzr
198
stopped accepting unicode revids (bug #175228)
204
- fix broken inventory page (oops!)
206
- fix a few rendering problems with kid and safari
212
- new feature to compare two revisions to each other
214
- inserted text in diffs is now blue instead of green
216
- fixed to start and stop as a daemon now (use "-f" to run in the
217
foreground), and all config is in loggerhead.conf (no need to mess with
220
- renamed show/hide javascript buttons to expand/collapse, and made them
223
- added an atom-feed link to each branch on the browse page [elliot
226
- auto-publish feature for multiple branches under a single folder (see
227
loggerhead.conf.example)
229
- added the ability to share cache files per-project instead of just
232
- added side-by-side diff display for the revision page (which is the
233
default), with a button to switch between side-by-side and unified diff
236
- made caching use file locking, and close cleanly on shutdown
238
- miscellaneous speed and page-size improvements
