What's changed in loggerhead?
2
=============================
6
- Loggerhead now serves bzr branches over HTTP and exposes the URL to
7
branch them. (Jonathan Lange)
12
- Add startup deamon script for Linux (Marius Kruger)
14
- Switch navigation from file_ids to paths. Fixes bugs #260363, #269365
15
and #128926. (Martin Albisetti)
17
- Fix bug #258710 ("the /files page explodes in an empty branch").
18
Also minor improvements to the /files and /changes pages.
21
- Added --port, --host and --prefix options to serve-branches
22
script. (Martin Albisetti)
24
- Fixed broken template for project browsing with start-loggerhead
27
- Added --reload options to restart the application when a python
28
file change. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
30
- Added error handling middleware. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
32
- Fix bug #243415 ("Tracebacks go to console but not log
33
file"). Also minor improvements to logging in serve-branches and
34
start-loggerhead. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
39
- Download a diffs between revisions. (Martin Albisetti)
41
- Modified templates to make loggerhead's theme easier to
44
- Default sqlite interface is now sqlite3. (Robert Collins)
46
- New ninja theme sponsored by Canonical (Martin Albisetti)
48
- Added COPYING file and clarified copyright headers (John Arbash Meinel)
50
- Remove the .py extension requiered by the Debian Policy.
53
- New startup script serve-branches will serve Loggerhead without
54
the need of configuration, and allow you to browse through directories
55
and branches. (Michael Hudson)
57
- Loggerhead is no longer a TurboGears application, but rather a
58
WSGI application built using Paste (see http://wsgi.org/ and
59
http://pythonpaste.org/ for more about WSGI and Paste).
61
- URLs now use revision numbers instead of revision ids (Martin Albisetti)
63
- The scripts no longer insist on Python 2.4 -- loggerhead works
66
- Bazaar as of version 1.5 has improved in performance enough that
67
the revision cache no longer gave any noticeable benefit, so it
68
was removed (the files-changed cache is still useful).
70
- The templates were rewritten in Zope's TAL markup, powered by
71
the simpleTAL library -- improving both the performance and
72
memory consumption of rendering by a factor of around 3 for
73
large pages over the old Kid templates.
75
- Loggerhead's poorly performing text index was disabled. bzr-search
76
is now used if the plugin is installed and a text index is present
77
on the branch being viewed. (Martin Albisetti, Robert Collins).
79
- Loggerhead no longer depends on bzrlib functions deprecated in
80
Bazaar 1.5 and removed in 1.6 (Martin Albisetti).
82
- The daemonization code was made more regular, fixing bugs
83
#139161 ("Starting loggerhead process may not close its stdin
84
and stdout properly") and #211526 ("Codebrowse log directory has
85
unnecessarily permissive permissions")
87
- Some confusion about what the 'file_id' query argument means was
88
cleared up: filter_file_id now means "filter revisions to those
89
that affect this file" in all views and file_id means "examine
90
this file/directory" in the annotate and inventory views.
92
- Dates are present more compactly.
94
- The loggerhead.conf file can specify which network interface to
95
bind to (Mattias Eriksson)
100
- The changelog view was out of order when not using the revision
105
- Michael Hudson <michael.hudson@canonical.com> has mostly taken
106
over the maintenance of loggerhead.
108
- loggerhead now has a simple test suite -- use 'nosetests' in the
109
loggerhead directory to run it.
111
- The rendering performance of pages that display large amounts of
112
text was improved by a factor of 4 or so.
114
- loggerhead no longer caches the text of the diffs between
115
revisions. It rarely helped and wasted a lot of disk space.
117
- The layout of most pages was made more "tight" to waste less
118
screen real estate, and some other UI improvements (Kent
121
- Much dead code was removed.
123
- Loggerhead now computes the files changed between revisions only
124
when it needs to know this. This is a fairly expensive
125
operation in Bazaar, and doing it less massively improves
126
performance and memory usage in some situations.
128
- Loggerhead now takes a read lock on the branch being viewed for
129
the duration of each request, which improves performance
132
- Loggerhead no longer uses the corruption-prone Berkely DB-backed
133
shelve module for its caches, and rather (ab)uses a sqlite
136
- The creation of History objects is much faster for large
137
branches (Aaron Bentley).
139
- Allow the construction of URLs using revnos and file paths as
140
well as revids and fileids (bug #98826):
142
- For changes pages, append the newest revno to display to the
143
URL, like http://.../changes/<revno>
145
- For annotate pages, append the revno to display to the URL,
146
followed by the path, like http://.../annotate/<revno>/<path>
148
- For file listing and revision pages append the revno to
149
display to the URL, like http://.../files/<revno>
151
Loggerhead still generates URLs using revision and file ids for
154
- Many bugs were fixed:
156
- Loggerhead does not escape special characters when embedding a
157
revision ID in a URL (bug #88286)
159
- Improved robustness in the face of ghosts.
161
- Don't crash on displaying a commit with an empty message (bug
164
- codebrowse fails with infinite redirections (James Henstridge,
167
- Loggerhead fails to browse revisions that change binary files
168
(James Henstridge, bug #91686)
170
- Loggerhead atom feeds expose internal hostname (James
171
Henstridge, bug #93585)
173
- loggerhead don't like page break character (0x0C) in text
176
- codebrowse source listings don't contain line number anchors
179
- only serve up unescaped user content with "Content-Disposition:
182
- viewing the file listing consumes a lot memory (bug #116869)
184
- loggerhead can't handle empty branches (bug #119228)
186
- upgrading the format of a branch behind loggerhead could make
187
it fail for that branch (bug #118673)
189
- Error parsing non-ascii content (bug #117799)
191
- Loggerhead failed on whitespace-only commit messages.
193
- Links to diffs from within a revision do not work (bug
196
- UTF-8 patches served as ISO-8859-1, fixed by served bundles as
197
application/octet-stream (bug #121336)
199
- TurboGears was turning query arguments into unicode, and bzr
200
stopped accepting unicode revids (bug #175228)
206
- fix broken inventory page (oops!)
208
- fix a few rendering problems with kid and safari
214
- new feature to compare two revisions to each other
216
- inserted text in diffs is now blue instead of green
218
- fixed to start and stop as a daemon now (use "-f" to run in the
219
foreground), and all config is in loggerhead.conf (no need to mess with
222
- renamed show/hide javascript buttons to expand/collapse, and made them
225
- added an atom-feed link to each branch on the browse page [elliot
228
- auto-publish feature for multiple branches under a single folder (see
229
loggerhead.conf.example)
231
- added the ability to share cache files per-project instead of just
234
- added side-by-side diff display for the revision page (which is the
235
default), with a button to switch between side-by-side and unified diff
238
- made caching use file locking, and close cleanly on shutdown
240
- miscellaneous speed and page-size improvements
