What's changed in loggerhead?
2
=============================
5
- Switch navigation from file_ids to paths. Fixes bugs #260363, #269365
6
and #128926. (Martin Albisetti)
8
- Fix bug #258710 ("the /files page explodes in an empty branch").
9
Also minor improvements to the /files and /changes pages.
12
- Added --port, --host and --prefix options to serve-branches
13
script. (Martin Albisetti)
15
- Fixed broken template for project browsing with start-loggerhead
18
- Added --reload options to restart the application when a python
19
file change. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
21
- Added error handling middleware. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
23
- Fix bug #243415 ("Tracebacks go to console but not log
24
file"). Also minor improvements to logging in serve-branches and
25
start-loggerhead. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
30
- Download a diffs between revisions. (Martin Albisetti)
32
- Modified templates to make loggerhead's theme easier to
35
- Default sqlite interface is now sqlite3. (Robert Collins)
37
- New ninja theme sponsored by Canonical (Martin Albisetti)
39
- Added COPYING file and clarified copyright headers (John Arbash Meinel)
41
- Remove the .py extension requiered by the Debian Policy.
44
- New startup script serve-branches will serve Loggerhead without
45
the need of configuration, and allow you to browse through directories
46
and branches. (Michael Hudson)
48
- Loggerhead is no longer a TurboGears application, but rather a
49
WSGI application built using Paste (see http://wsgi.org/ and
50
http://pythonpaste.org/ for more about WSGI and Paste).
52
- URLs now use revision numbers instead of revision ids (Martin Albisetti)
54
- The scripts no longer insist on Python 2.4 -- loggerhead works
57
- Bazaar as of version 1.5 has improved in performance enough that
58
the revision cache no longer gave any noticeable benefit, so it
59
was removed (the files-changed cache is still useful).
61
- The templates were rewritten in Zope's TAL markup, powered by
62
the simpleTAL library -- improving both the performance and
63
memory consumption of rendering by a factor of around 3 for
64
large pages over the old Kid templates.
66
- Loggerhead's poorly performing text index was disabled. bzr-search
67
is now used if the plugin is installed and a text index is present
68
on the branch being viewed. (Martin Albisetti, Robert Collins).
70
- Loggerhead no longer depends on bzrlib functions deprecated in
71
Bazaar 1.5 and removed in 1.6 (Martin Albisetti).
73
- The daemonization code was made more regular, fixing bugs
74
#139161 ("Starting loggerhead process may not close its stdin
75
and stdout properly") and #211526 ("Codebrowse log directory has
76
unnecessarily permissive permissions")
78
- Some confusion about what the 'file_id' query argument means was
79
cleared up: filter_file_id now means "filter revisions to those
80
that affect this file" in all views and file_id means "examine
81
this file/directory" in the annotate and inventory views.
83
- Dates are present more compactly.
85
- The loggerhead.conf file can specify which network interface to
86
bind to (Mattias Eriksson)
91
- The changelog view was out of order when not using the revision
96
- Michael Hudson <michael.hudson@canonical.com> has mostly taken
97
over the maintenance of loggerhead.
99
- loggerhead now has a simple test suite -- use 'nosetests' in the
100
loggerhead directory to run it.
102
- The rendering performance of pages that display large amounts of
103
text was improved by a factor of 4 or so.
105
- loggerhead no longer caches the text of the diffs between
106
revisions. It rarely helped and wasted a lot of disk space.
108
- The layout of most pages was made more "tight" to waste less
109
screen real estate, and some other UI improvements (Kent
112
- Much dead code was removed.
114
- Loggerhead now computes the files changed between revisions only
115
when it needs to know this. This is a fairly expensive
116
operation in Bazaar, and doing it less massively improves
117
performance and memory usage in some situations.
119
- Loggerhead now takes a read lock on the branch being viewed for
120
the duration of each request, which improves performance
123
- Loggerhead no longer uses the corruption-prone Berkely DB-backed
124
shelve module for its caches, and rather (ab)uses a sqlite
127
- The creation of History objects is much faster for large
128
branches (Aaron Bentley).
130
- Allow the construction of URLs using revnos and file paths as
131
well as revids and fileids (bug #98826):
133
- For changes pages, append the newest revno to display to the
134
URL, like http://.../changes/<revno>
136
- For annotate pages, append the revno to display to the URL,
137
followed by the path, like http://.../annotate/<revno>/<path>
139
- For file listing and revision pages append the revno to
140
display to the URL, like http://.../files/<revno>
142
Loggerhead still generates URLs using revision and file ids for
145
- Many bugs were fixed:
147
- Loggerhead does not escape special characters when embedding a
148
revision ID in a URL (bug #88286)
150
- Improved robustness in the face of ghosts.
152
- Don't crash on displaying a commit with an empty message (bug
155
- codebrowse fails with infinite redirections (James Henstridge,
158
- Loggerhead fails to browse revisions that change binary files
159
(James Henstridge, bug #91686)
161
- Loggerhead atom feeds expose internal hostname (James
162
Henstridge, bug #93585)
164
- loggerhead don't like page break character (0x0C) in text
167
- codebrowse source listings don't contain line number anchors
170
- only serve up unescaped user content with "Content-Disposition:
173
- viewing the file listing consumes a lot memory (bug #116869)
175
- loggerhead can't handle empty branches (bug #119228)
177
- upgrading the format of a branch behind loggerhead could make
178
it fail for that branch (bug #118673)
180
- Error parsing non-ascii content (bug #117799)
182
- Loggerhead failed on whitespace-only commit messages.
184
- Links to diffs from within a revision do not work (bug
187
- UTF-8 patches served as ISO-8859-1, fixed by served bundles as
188
application/octet-stream (bug #121336)
190
- TurboGears was turning query arguments into unicode, and bzr
191
stopped accepting unicode revids (bug #175228)
197
- fix broken inventory page (oops!)
199
- fix a few rendering problems with kid and safari
205
- new feature to compare two revisions to each other
207
- inserted text in diffs is now blue instead of green
209
- fixed to start and stop as a daemon now (use "-f" to run in the
210
foreground), and all config is in loggerhead.conf (no need to mess with
213
- renamed show/hide javascript buttons to expand/collapse, and made them
216
- added an atom-feed link to each branch on the browse page [elliot
219
- auto-publish feature for multiple branches under a single folder (see
220
loggerhead.conf.example)
222
- added the ability to share cache files per-project instead of just
225
- added side-by-side diff display for the revision page (which is the
226
default), with a button to switch between side-by-side and unified diff
229
- made caching use file locking, and close cleanly on shutdown
231
- miscellaneous speed and page-size improvements
