What's changed in loggerhead?
2
=============================
6
- Loggerhead now serves bzr branches over HTTP and exposes the URL to
7
branch them. (Jonathan Lange)
9
- Leading blank lines in commit messages no longer result in an empty
10
summary. (Colin Watson)
15
- Add startup deamon script for Linux (Marius Kruger)
17
- Switch navigation from file_ids to paths. Fixes bugs #260363, #269365
18
and #128926. (Martin Albisetti)
20
- Fix bug #258710 ("the /files page explodes in an empty branch").
21
Also minor improvements to the /files and /changes pages.
24
- Added --port, --host and --prefix options to serve-branches
25
script. (Martin Albisetti)
27
- Fixed broken template for project browsing with start-loggerhead
30
- Added --reload options to restart the application when a python
31
file change. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
33
- Added error handling middleware. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
35
- Fix bug #243415 ("Tracebacks go to console but not log
36
file"). Also minor improvements to logging in serve-branches and
37
start-loggerhead. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
42
- Download a diffs between revisions. (Martin Albisetti)
44
- Modified templates to make loggerhead's theme easier to
47
- Default sqlite interface is now sqlite3. (Robert Collins)
49
- New ninja theme sponsored by Canonical (Martin Albisetti)
51
- Added COPYING file and clarified copyright headers (John Arbash Meinel)
53
- Remove the .py extension requiered by the Debian Policy.
56
- New startup script serve-branches will serve Loggerhead without
57
the need of configuration, and allow you to browse through directories
58
and branches. (Michael Hudson)
60
- Loggerhead is no longer a TurboGears application, but rather a
61
WSGI application built using Paste (see http://wsgi.org/ and
62
http://pythonpaste.org/ for more about WSGI and Paste).
64
- URLs now use revision numbers instead of revision ids (Martin Albisetti)
66
- The scripts no longer insist on Python 2.4 -- loggerhead works
69
- Bazaar as of version 1.5 has improved in performance enough that
70
the revision cache no longer gave any noticeable benefit, so it
71
was removed (the files-changed cache is still useful).
73
- The templates were rewritten in Zope's TAL markup, powered by
74
the simpleTAL library -- improving both the performance and
75
memory consumption of rendering by a factor of around 3 for
76
large pages over the old Kid templates.
78
- Loggerhead's poorly performing text index was disabled. bzr-search
79
is now used if the plugin is installed and a text index is present
80
on the branch being viewed. (Martin Albisetti, Robert Collins).
82
- Loggerhead no longer depends on bzrlib functions deprecated in
83
Bazaar 1.5 and removed in 1.6 (Martin Albisetti).
85
- The daemonization code was made more regular, fixing bugs
86
#139161 ("Starting loggerhead process may not close its stdin
87
and stdout properly") and #211526 ("Codebrowse log directory has
88
unnecessarily permissive permissions")
90
- Some confusion about what the 'file_id' query argument means was
91
cleared up: filter_file_id now means "filter revisions to those
92
that affect this file" in all views and file_id means "examine
93
this file/directory" in the annotate and inventory views.
95
- Dates are present more compactly.
97
- The loggerhead.conf file can specify which network interface to
98
bind to (Mattias Eriksson)
103
- The changelog view was out of order when not using the revision
108
- Michael Hudson <michael.hudson@canonical.com> has mostly taken
109
over the maintenance of loggerhead.
111
- loggerhead now has a simple test suite -- use 'nosetests' in the
112
loggerhead directory to run it.
114
- The rendering performance of pages that display large amounts of
115
text was improved by a factor of 4 or so.
117
- loggerhead no longer caches the text of the diffs between
118
revisions. It rarely helped and wasted a lot of disk space.
120
- The layout of most pages was made more "tight" to waste less
121
screen real estate, and some other UI improvements (Kent
124
- Much dead code was removed.
126
- Loggerhead now computes the files changed between revisions only
127
when it needs to know this. This is a fairly expensive
128
operation in Bazaar, and doing it less massively improves
129
performance and memory usage in some situations.
131
- Loggerhead now takes a read lock on the branch being viewed for
132
the duration of each request, which improves performance
135
- Loggerhead no longer uses the corruption-prone Berkely DB-backed
136
shelve module for its caches, and rather (ab)uses a sqlite
139
- The creation of History objects is much faster for large
140
branches (Aaron Bentley).
142
- Allow the construction of URLs using revnos and file paths as
143
well as revids and fileids (bug #98826):
145
- For changes pages, append the newest revno to display to the
146
URL, like http://.../changes/<revno>
148
- For annotate pages, append the revno to display to the URL,
149
followed by the path, like http://.../annotate/<revno>/<path>
151
- For file listing and revision pages append the revno to
152
display to the URL, like http://.../files/<revno>
154
Loggerhead still generates URLs using revision and file ids for
157
- Many bugs were fixed:
159
- Loggerhead does not escape special characters when embedding a
160
revision ID in a URL (bug #88286)
162
- Improved robustness in the face of ghosts.
164
- Don't crash on displaying a commit with an empty message (bug
167
- codebrowse fails with infinite redirections (James Henstridge,
170
- Loggerhead fails to browse revisions that change binary files
171
(James Henstridge, bug #91686)
173
- Loggerhead atom feeds expose internal hostname (James
174
Henstridge, bug #93585)
176
- loggerhead don't like page break character (0x0C) in text
179
- codebrowse source listings don't contain line number anchors
182
- only serve up unescaped user content with "Content-Disposition:
185
- viewing the file listing consumes a lot memory (bug #116869)
187
- loggerhead can't handle empty branches (bug #119228)
189
- upgrading the format of a branch behind loggerhead could make
190
it fail for that branch (bug #118673)
192
- Error parsing non-ascii content (bug #117799)
194
- Loggerhead failed on whitespace-only commit messages.
196
- Links to diffs from within a revision do not work (bug
199
- UTF-8 patches served as ISO-8859-1, fixed by served bundles as
200
application/octet-stream (bug #121336)
202
- TurboGears was turning query arguments into unicode, and bzr
203
stopped accepting unicode revids (bug #175228)
209
- fix broken inventory page (oops!)
211
- fix a few rendering problems with kid and safari
217
- new feature to compare two revisions to each other
219
- inserted text in diffs is now blue instead of green
221
- fixed to start and stop as a daemon now (use "-f" to run in the
222
foreground), and all config is in loggerhead.conf (no need to mess with
225
- renamed show/hide javascript buttons to expand/collapse, and made them
228
- added an atom-feed link to each branch on the browse page [elliot
231
- auto-publish feature for multiple branches under a single folder (see
232
loggerhead.conf.example)
234
- added the ability to share cache files per-project instead of just
237
- added side-by-side diff display for the revision page (which is the
238
default), with a button to switch between side-by-side and unified diff
241
- made caching use file locking, and close cleanly on shutdown
243
- miscellaneous speed and page-size improvements
