What's changed in loggerhead?
2
=============================
7
- Make sure that binary files aren't annotated. (Martin Albisetti,
10
- Loggerhead now serves bzr branches over HTTP and exposes the URL
11
to branch them. Addresses bug #240577. (Jonathan Lange)
13
- Leading blank lines in commit messages no longer result in an
14
empty summary. (Colin Watson)
16
- Added optional syntax highlighting to annotate view using
17
python-pygments. Partially addresses bug #306631. (Peter Bui)
19
- Convert newlines in commit messages to HTML line breaks for
20
annotate and changelog views. Addresses bug #273688. (Peter
23
- serve-branches now errors if run behind a proxy without
24
paste.deploy installed. (Michael Hudson)
26
- Loggerhead should now handle file and directory names that need
27
URL escaping without crashing.
29
- The start-loggerhead script properly sets the wsgi.url_scheme
30
from the server.webpath option. (neror, #260547)
32
- The revision page defaults to unified style again, and can
33
convert to a side-by-side view using JavaScript. (Michael Hudson)
35
- Clean up and improve performance of the annotate view. (Michael
38
- Finish converting JavaScript from MooTools to YUI 3. (Michael
41
- Improve compatibility with IE 6. (Michael Hudson)
43
- Leading blank lines in commit messages no longer result in an
44
empty summary. (Colin Watson)
46
- Clip long lines in side-by-side diff view. (Michael Hudson,
49
- The user-confusing "next" and "previous" links now read "older"
50
and "newer" respectively. (Michael Hudson, #297930)
52
- The annotate view now contains line number anchors. (Michael
55
- Fix inventory pages using "//" in links. (Michael Hudson, #329668)
57
- Fix problems viewing files and directories containing spaces and
58
other funny characters. (Peter Bui)
60
- Changelog messages are now displayed with newlines preserved.
63
- Offer a link to see the full file diffs for a file path. (Michael
66
- Fix annotate error caused by Pygments stripping trailing
67
whitespace. (Michael Hudson, #338762)
69
- Loggerhead can be installed as a Bazaar plugin and run by
70
'bzr serve --http'. (Martin Pool)
72
- Load parts of the changelog and revision pages via XMLHttpRequest
73
to improve performance. This adds a dependency on simplejson or
74
json. Partially addresses bug #253950. (Michael Hudson)
76
- Various improvements to the animation JavaScript. (Michael Hudson)
78
- Fix HTML content of source files being displayed unescaped when
79
Pygments was unavailable. (Michael Hudson, #344970)

94
memory usage improvements. (Michael Hudson)
96
- Add a --cache-dir option to serve-branches to choose where to
97
place the SQL cache, and only create one temporary SQL dir per
98
process. (Matt Nordhoff, #358322)
100
- Replace homebrew memory profiling code with Dozer. (Paul Hummer)
102
- Use the branch's public_branch as the default suggested URL to
103
branch from (Matt Nordhoff, #369767)
105
- Fix a file descriptor leak (Matt Nordhoff, #370845)
107

108
URL to serve-branches. (Jelmer Vernooij, #371787)
110
- Fix internal server errors when using start-loggerhead. (Matt
116
- Add startup deamon script for Linux (Marius Kruger)
118

143
- Download a diffs between revisions. (Martin Albisetti)
145

146
change. (Paul Hummer)
148
- Default sqlite interface is now sqlite3. (Robert Collins)
150
- New ninja theme sponsored by Canonical (Martin Albisetti)
152
- Added COPYING file and clarified copyright headers (John Arbash Meinel)
154
- Remove the .py extension requiered by the Debian Policy.
157
- New startup script serve-branches will serve Loggerhead without
158
the need of configuration, and allow you to browse through directories
159
and branches. (Michael Hudson)
161
- Loggerhead is no longer a TurboGears application, but rather a
162
WSGI application built using Paste (see http://wsgi.org/ and
163
http://pythonpaste.org/ for more about WSGI and Paste).
165
- URLs now use revision numbers instead of revision ids (Martin Albisetti)
167
- The scripts no longer insist on Python 2.4 -- loggerhead works
170
- Bazaar as of version 1.5 has improved in performance enough that
171
the revision cache no longer gave any noticeable benefit, so it
172
was removed (the files-changed cache is still useful).
174
- The templates were rewritten in Zope's TAL markup, powered by
175
the simpleTAL library -- improving both the performance and
176
memory consumption of rendering by a factor of around 3 for
177
large pages over the old Kid templates.
179
- Loggerhead's poorly performing text index was disabled. bzr-search
180
is now used if the plugin is installed and a text index is present
181
on the branch being viewed. (Martin Albisetti, Robert Collins).
183
- Loggerhead no longer depends on bzrlib functions deprecated in
184
Bazaar 1.5 and removed in 1.6 (Martin Albisetti).
186
- The daemonization code was made more regular, fixing bugs
187
#139161 ("Starting loggerhead process may not close its stdin
188
and stdout properly") and #211526 ("Codebrowse log directory has
189
unnecessarily permissive permissions")
191
- Some confusion about what the 'file_id' query argument means was
192
cleared up: filter_file_id now means "filter revisions to those
193
that affect this file" in all views and file_id means "examine
194
this file/directory" in the annotate and inventory views.
196
- Dates are present more compactly.
198
- The loggerhead.conf file can specify which network interface to
199
bind to (Mattias Eriksson)
204
- The changelog view was out of order when not using the revision
209
- Michael Hudson <michael.hudson@canonical.com> has mostly taken
210
over the maintenance of loggerhead.
212
- loggerhead now has a simple test suite -- use 'nosetests' in the
213
loggerhead directory to run it.
215
- The rendering performance of pages that display large amounts of
216
text was improved by a factor of 4 or so.
218
- loggerhead no longer caches the text of the diffs between
219
revisions. It rarely helped and wasted a lot of disk space.
221
- The layout of most pages was made more "tight" to waste less
222
screen real estate, and some other UI improvements (Kent
225
- Much dead code was removed.
227
- Loggerhead now computes the files changed between revisions only
228
when it needs to know this. This is a fairly expensive
229
operation in Bazaar, and doing it less massively improves
230
performance and memory usage in some situations.
232
- Loggerhead now takes a read lock on the branch being viewed for
233
the duration of each request, which improves performance
236
- Loggerhead no longer uses the corruption-prone Berkely DB-backed
237
shelve module for its caches, and rather (ab)uses a sqlite
240
- The creation of History objects is much faster for large
241
branches (Aaron Bentley).
243
- Allow the construction of URLs using revnos and file paths as
244
well as revids and fileids (bug #98826):
246
- For changes pages, append the newest revno to display to the
247
URL, like http://.../changes/<revno>
249
- For annotate pages, append the revno to display to the URL,
250
followed by the path, like http://.../annotate/<revno>/<path>
252
- For file listing and revision pages append the revno to
253
display to the URL, like http://.../files/<revno>
255
Loggerhead still generates URLs using revision and file ids for
258
- Many bugs were fixed:
260
- Loggerhead does not escape special characters when embedding a
261
revision ID in a URL (bug #88286)
263
- Improved robustness in the face of ghosts.
265
- Don't crash on displaying a commit with an empty message (bug
268
- codebrowse fails with infinite redirections (James Henstridge,
271
- Loggerhead fails to browse revisions that change binary files
272
(James Henstridge, bug #91686)
274
- Loggerhead atom feeds expose internal hostname (James
275
Henstridge, bug #93585)
277
- loggerhead don't like page break character (0x0C) in text
280
- codebrowse source listings don't contain line number anchors
283
- only serve up unescaped user content with "Content-Disposition:
286
- viewing the file listing consumes a lot memory (bug #116869)
288
- loggerhead can't handle empty branches (bug #119228)
290
- upgrading the format of a branch behind loggerhead could make
291
it fail for that branch (bug #118673)
293
- Error parsing non-ascii content (bug #117799)
295
- Loggerhead failed on whitespace-only commit messages.
297
- Links to diffs from within a revision do not work (bug
300
- UTF-8 patches served as ISO-8859-1, fixed by served bundles as
301
application/octet-stream (bug #121336)
303
- TurboGears was turning query arguments into unicode, and bzr
304
stopped accepting unicode revids (bug #175228)
310
- fix broken inventory page (oops!)
312
- fix a few rendering problems with kid and safari
4
318
- new feature to compare two revisions to each other
6
320
- inserted text in diffs is now blue instead of green
8
322
- fixed to start and stop as a daemon now (use "-f" to run in the
9
323
foreground), and all config is in loggerhead.conf (no need to mess with
12
326
- renamed show/hide javascript buttons to expand/collapse, and made them
15
329
- added an atom-feed link to each branch on the browse page [elliot
18
332
- auto-publish feature for multiple branches under a single folder (see
19
333
loggerhead.conf.example)
21
335
- added the ability to share cache files per-project instead of just
24
338
- added side-by-side diff display for the revision page (which is the
25
339
default), with a button to switch between side-by-side and unified diff
28
342
- made caching use file locking, and close cleanly on shutdown
30
344
- miscellaneous speed and page-size improvements
