What's changed in loggerhead?
2
=============================
7
- Loggerhead now serves bzr branches over HTTP and exposes the URL
8
to branch them. Addresses bug #240577. (Jonathan Lange)
10
- Leading blank lines in commit messages no longer result in an
11
empty summary. (Colin Watson)
13
- Added syntax highlighting to annotate view using
14
python-pygments. Partially addresses bug #306631. (Peter Bui)
16
- Convert newlines in commit messages to HTML line breaks for
17
annotate and changelog views. Addresses bug #273688. (Peter
20
- serve-branches now errors if run behind a proxy without
21
paste.deploy installed.
23
- Loggerhead should now handle file and directory names that need
24
URL escaping without crashing.
26
- The start-loggerhead script properly sets the wsgi.url_scheme
27
from the server.webpath option. (neror)
29
- The revision page defaults to unified style again, and can
30
convert to a side-by-side view using Javascript.
32
- Leading blank lines in commit messages no longer result in an
33
empty summary. (Colin Watson)
35
- The user-confusing "next" and "previous" links now read "older"
36
and "newer" respectively.
38
- The annotate view now contains line number anchors.
40
- The annotate view does syntax highlighting using the "pygments"
43
- Changelog messages are now displayed with newlines preserved.
46
- serve-branches now has an option, --use-cdn, to load YUI from
47
Yahoo!'s CDN. (Matt Nordhoff)
49
- Fix errors when using serve-branches --log-folder or --user-dirs.
50
(It was calling config.get_option() incorrectly.) (Matt Nordhoff,
53
- Move some caching from RAM to the disk, and other caching and
54
memory usage improvements. (Michael Hudson)
56
- Add a --cache-dir option to serve-branches to choose where to
57
place the SQL cache, and only create one temporary SQL dir per
58
process. (Matt Nordhoff, #358322)
60
- Replace homebrew memory profiling code with Dozer. (Paul Hummer)
62
- Use the branch's public_branch as the default suggested URL to
63
branch from (Matt Nordhoff, #369767)
65
- Fix a file descriptor leak (Matt Nordhoff, #370845)
70
- Add startup deamon script for Linux (Marius Kruger)
72
- Switch navigation from file_ids to paths. Fixes bugs #260363,
73
#269365 and #128926. (Martin Albisetti)
75
- Fix bug #258710 ("the /files page explodes in an empty branch").
76
Also minor improvements to the /files and /changes pages.
79
- Added --port, --host and --prefix options to serve-branches
80
script. (Martin Albisetti)
82
- Fixed broken template for project browsing with start-loggerhead
85
- Added --reload options to restart the application when a python
86
file change. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
88
- Added error handling middleware. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
90

92
start-loggerhead. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
97
- Download a diffs between revisions. (Martin Albisetti)
99
- Modified templates to make loggerhead's theme easier to
100
change. (Paul Hummer)
102
- Default sqlite interface is now sqlite3. (Robert Collins)
104
- New ninja theme sponsored by Canonical (Martin Albisetti)
106
- Added COPYING file and clarified copyright headers (John Arbash Meinel)
108
- Remove the .py extension requiered by the Debian Policy.
111
- New startup script serve-branches will serve Loggerhead without
112
the need of configuration, and allow you to browse through directories
113
and branches. (Michael Hudson)
115
- Loggerhead is no longer a TurboGears application, but rather a
116
WSGI application built using Paste (see http://wsgi.org/ and
117
http://pythonpaste.org/ for more about WSGI and Paste).
119
- URLs now use revision numbers instead of revision ids (Martin Albisetti)
121
- The scripts no longer insist on Python 2.4 -- loggerhead works
124
- Bazaar as of version 1.5 has improved in performance enough that
125
the revision cache no longer gave any noticeable benefit, so it
126
was removed (the files-changed cache is still useful).
128
- The templates were rewritten in Zope's TAL markup, powered by
129
the simpleTAL library -- improving both the performance and
130
memory consumption of rendering by a factor of around 3 for
131
large pages over the old Kid templates.
133
- Loggerhead's poorly performing text index was disabled. bzr-search
134
is now used if the plugin is installed and a text index is present
135
on the branch being viewed. (Martin Albisetti, Robert Collins).
137
- Loggerhead no longer depends on bzrlib functions deprecated in
138
Bazaar 1.5 and removed in 1.6 (Martin Albisetti).
140
- The daemonization code was made more regular, fixing bugs
141
#139161 ("Starting loggerhead process may not close its stdin
142
and stdout properly") and #211526 ("Codebrowse log directory has
143
unnecessarily permissive permissions")
145
- Some confusion about what the 'file_id' query argument means was
146
cleared up: filter_file_id now means "filter revisions to those
147
that affect this file" in all views and file_id means "examine
148
this file/directory" in the annotate and inventory views.
150
- Dates are present more compactly.
152
- The loggerhead.conf file can specify which network interface to
153
bind to (Mattias Eriksson)
158
- The changelog view was out of order when not using the revision
163
- Michael Hudson <michael.hudson@canonical.com> has mostly taken
164
over the maintenance of loggerhead.
166
- loggerhead now has a simple test suite -- use 'nosetests' in the
167
loggerhead directory to run it.
169
- The rendering performance of pages that display large amounts of
170
text was improved by a factor of 4 or so.
172
- loggerhead no longer caches the text of the diffs between
173
revisions. It rarely helped and wasted a lot of disk space.
175
- The layout of most pages was made more "tight" to waste less
176
screen real estate, and some other UI improvements (Kent
179
- Much dead code was removed.
181
- Loggerhead now computes the files changed between revisions only
182
when it needs to know this. This is a fairly expensive
183
operation in Bazaar, and doing it less massively improves
184
performance and memory usage in some situations.
186
- Loggerhead now takes a read lock on the branch being viewed for
187
the duration of each request, which improves performance
190
- Loggerhead no longer uses the corruption-prone Berkely DB-backed
191
shelve module for its caches, and rather (ab)uses a sqlite
194
- The creation of History objects is much faster for large
195
branches (Aaron Bentley).
197
- Allow the construction of URLs using revnos and file paths as
198
well as revids and fileids (bug #98826):
200
- For changes pages, append the newest revno to display to the
201
URL, like http://.../changes/<revno>
203
- For annotate pages, append the revno to display to the URL,
204
followed by the path, like http://.../annotate/<revno>/<path>
206
- For file listing and revision pages append the revno to
207
display to the URL, like http://.../files/<revno>
209
Loggerhead still generates URLs using revision and file ids for
212
- Many bugs were fixed:
214
- Loggerhead does not escape special characters when embedding a
215
revision ID in a URL (bug #88286)
217
- Improved robustness in the face of ghosts.
219
- Don't crash on displaying a commit with an empty message (bug
222
- codebrowse fails with infinite redirections (James Henstridge,
225
- Loggerhead fails to browse revisions that change binary files
226
(James Henstridge, bug #91686)
228
- Loggerhead atom feeds expose internal hostname (James
229
Henstridge, bug #93585)
231
- loggerhead don't like page break character (0x0C) in text
234
- codebrowse source listings don't contain line number anchors
237
- only serve up unescaped user content with "Content-Disposition:
240
- viewing the file listing consumes a lot memory (bug #116869)
242
- loggerhead can't handle empty branches (bug #119228)
244
- upgrading the format of a branch behind loggerhead could make
245
it fail for that branch (bug #118673)
247
- Error parsing non-ascii content (bug #117799)
249
- Loggerhead failed on whitespace-only commit messages.
251
- Links to diffs from within a revision do not work (bug
254
- UTF-8 patches served as ISO-8859-1, fixed by served bundles as
255
application/octet-stream (bug #121336)
257
- TurboGears was turning query arguments into unicode, and bzr
258
stopped accepting unicode revids (bug #175228)
264
- fix broken inventory page (oops!)
266
- fix a few rendering problems with kid and safari
272
- new feature to compare two revisions to each other
274
- inserted text in diffs is now blue instead of green
276
- fixed to start and stop as a daemon now (use "-f" to run in the
277
foreground), and all config is in loggerhead.conf (no need to mess with
280
- renamed show/hide javascript buttons to expand/collapse, and made them
283
- added an atom-feed link to each branch on the browse page [elliot
286
- auto-publish feature for multiple branches under a single folder (see
287
loggerhead.conf.example)
289
- added the ability to share cache files per-project instead of just
292
- added side-by-side diff display for the revision page (which is the
293
default), with a button to switch between side-by-side and unified diff
296
- made caching use file locking, and close cleanly on shutdown
298
- miscellaneous speed and page-size improvements
