What's changed in loggerhead?

=============================
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)
12
- Added syntax highlighting to annotate view using python-pygments.
13
Partially addresses bug #306631. (Peter Bui)
15
- Convert newlines in commit messages to HTML line breaks for annotate and
16
changelog views. Addresses bug #273688. (Peter Bui)
20
- Add startup deamon script for Linux (Marius Kruger)
22
- Switch navigation from file_ids to paths. Fixes bugs #260363, #269365
23
and #128926. (Martin Albisetti)
25
- Fix bug #258710 ("the /files page explodes in an empty branch").
26
Also minor improvements to the /files and /changes pages.
29
- Added --port, --host and --prefix options to serve-branches
30
script. (Martin Albisetti)
32
- Fixed broken template for project browsing with start-loggerhead
35
- Added --reload options to restart the application when a python
36
file change. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
38
- Added error handling middleware. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
40
- Fix bug #243415 ("Tracebacks go to console but not log
41
file"). Also minor improvements to logging in serve-branches and
42
start-loggerhead. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
47
- Download a diffs between revisions. (Martin Albisetti)
49
- Modified templates to make loggerhead's theme easier to
52
- Default sqlite interface is now sqlite3. (Robert Collins)
54
- New ninja theme sponsored by Canonical (Martin Albisetti)
56
- Added COPYING file and clarified copyright headers (John Arbash Meinel)
58
- Remove the .py extension requiered by the Debian Policy.
61
- New startup script serve-branches will serve Loggerhead without
62
the need of configuration, and allow you to browse through directories
63
and branches. (Michael Hudson)
65
- Loggerhead is no longer a TurboGears application, but rather a
66
WSGI application built using Paste (see http://wsgi.org/ and
67
http://pythonpaste.org/ for more about WSGI and Paste).
69
- URLs now use revision numbers instead of revision ids (Martin Albisetti)
71
- The scripts no longer insist on Python 2.4 -- loggerhead works
74
- Bazaar as of version 1.5 has improved in performance enough that
75
the revision cache no longer gave any noticeable benefit, so it
76
was removed (the files-changed cache is still useful).
78
- The templates were rewritten in Zope's TAL markup, powered by
79
the simpleTAL library -- improving both the performance and
80
memory consumption of rendering by a factor of around 3 for
81
large pages over the old Kid templates.
83
- Loggerhead's poorly performing text index was disabled. bzr-search
84
is now used if the plugin is installed and a text index is present
85
on the branch being viewed. (Martin Albisetti, Robert Collins).
87
- Loggerhead no longer depends on bzrlib functions deprecated in
88
Bazaar 1.5 and removed in 1.6 (Martin Albisetti).
90
- The daemonization code was made more regular, fixing bugs
91
#139161 ("Starting loggerhead process may not close its stdin
92
and stdout properly") and #211526 ("Codebrowse log directory has
93
unnecessarily permissive permissions")
95
- Some confusion about what the 'file_id' query argument means was
96
cleared up: filter_file_id now means "filter revisions to those
97
that affect this file" in all views and file_id means "examine
98
this file/directory" in the annotate and inventory views.
100
- Dates are present more compactly.
102
- The loggerhead.conf file can specify which network interface to
103
bind to (Mattias Eriksson)
108
- The changelog view was out of order when not using the revision
113
- Michael Hudson <michael.hudson@canonical.com> has mostly taken
114
over the maintenance of loggerhead.
116
- loggerhead now has a simple test suite -- use 'nosetests' in the
117
loggerhead directory to run it.
119
- The rendering performance of pages that display large amounts of
120
text was improved by a factor of 4 or so.
122
- loggerhead no longer caches the text of the diffs between
123
revisions. It rarely helped and wasted a lot of disk space.
125
- The layout of most pages was made more "tight" to waste less
126
screen real estate, and some other UI improvements (Kent
129
- Much dead code was removed.
131
- Loggerhead now computes the files changed between revisions only
132
when it needs to know this. This is a fairly expensive
133
operation in Bazaar, and doing it less massively improves
134
performance and memory usage in some situations.
136
- Loggerhead now takes a read lock on the branch being viewed for
137
the duration of each request, which improves performance
140
- Loggerhead no longer uses the corruption-prone Berkely DB-backed
141
shelve module for its caches, and rather (ab)uses a sqlite
144
- The creation of History objects is much faster for large
145
branches (Aaron Bentley).
147
- Allow the construction of URLs using revnos and file paths as
148
well as revids and fileids (bug #98826):
150
- For changes pages, append the newest revno to display to the
151
URL, like http://.../changes/<revno>
153
- For annotate pages, append the revno to display to the URL,
154
followed by the path, like http://.../annotate/<revno>/<path>
156
- For file listing and revision pages append the revno to
157
display to the URL, like http://.../files/<revno>
159
Loggerhead still generates URLs using revision and file ids for
162
- Many bugs were fixed:
164
- Loggerhead does not escape special characters when embedding a
165
revision ID in a URL (bug #88286)
167
- Improved robustness in the face of ghosts.
169
- Don't crash on displaying a commit with an empty message (bug
172
- codebrowse fails with infinite redirections (James Henstridge,
175
- Loggerhead fails to browse revisions that change binary files
176
(James Henstridge, bug #91686)
178
- Loggerhead atom feeds expose internal hostname (James
179
Henstridge, bug #93585)
181
- loggerhead don't like page break character (0x0C) in text
184
- codebrowse source listings don't contain line number anchors
187
- only serve up unescaped user content with "Content-Disposition:
190
- viewing the file listing consumes a lot memory (bug #116869)
192
- loggerhead can't handle empty branches (bug #119228)
194
- upgrading the format of a branch behind loggerhead could make
195
it fail for that branch (bug #118673)
197
- Error parsing non-ascii content (bug #117799)
199
- Loggerhead failed on whitespace-only commit messages.
201
- Links to diffs from within a revision do not work (bug
204
- UTF-8 patches served as ISO-8859-1, fixed by served bundles as
205
application/octet-stream (bug #121336)
207
- TurboGears was turning query arguments into unicode, and bzr
208
stopped accepting unicode revids (bug #175228)
