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 bug #361238 (serve-branches was calling config.get_option()
50
incorrectly and failing). (Matt Nordhoff)
55
- Add startup deamon script for Linux (Marius Kruger)
57
- Switch navigation from file_ids to paths. Fixes bugs #260363,
58
#269365 and #128926. (Martin Albisetti)
60
- Fix bug #258710 ("the /files page explodes in an empty branch").
61
Also minor improvements to the /files and /changes pages.
64
- Added --port, --host and --prefix options to serve-branches
65
script. (Martin Albisetti)
67
- Fixed broken template for project browsing with start-loggerhead
70
- Added --reload options to restart the application when a python
71
file change. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
73
- Added error handling middleware. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
75
- Fix bug #243415 ("Tracebacks go to console but not log
76
file"). Also minor improvements to logging in serve-branches and
77
start-loggerhead. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
82
- Download a diffs between revisions. (Martin Albisetti)
84
- Modified templates to make loggerhead's theme easier to
87
- Default sqlite interface is now sqlite3. (Robert Collins)
89
- New ninja theme sponsored by Canonical (Martin Albisetti)
91
- Added COPYING file and clarified copyright headers (John Arbash Meinel)
93
- Remove the .py extension requiered by the Debian Policy.
96
- New startup script serve-branches will serve Loggerhead without
97
the need of configuration, and allow you to browse through directories
98
and branches. (Michael Hudson)
100
- Loggerhead is no longer a TurboGears application, but rather a
101
WSGI application built using Paste (see http://wsgi.org/ and
102
http://pythonpaste.org/ for more about WSGI and Paste).
104
- URLs now use revision numbers instead of revision ids (Martin Albisetti)
106
- The scripts no longer insist on Python 2.4 -- loggerhead works
109
- Bazaar as of version 1.5 has improved in performance enough that
110
the revision cache no longer gave any noticeable benefit, so it
111
was removed (the files-changed cache is still useful).
113
- The templates were rewritten in Zope's TAL markup, powered by
114
the simpleTAL library -- improving both the performance and
115
memory consumption of rendering by a factor of around 3 for
116
large pages over the old Kid templates.
118
- Loggerhead's poorly performing text index was disabled. bzr-search
119
is now used if the plugin is installed and a text index is present
120
on the branch being viewed. (Martin Albisetti, Robert Collins).
122
- Loggerhead no longer depends on bzrlib functions deprecated in
123
Bazaar 1.5 and removed in 1.6 (Martin Albisetti).
125
- The daemonization code was made more regular, fixing bugs
126
#139161 ("Starting loggerhead process may not close its stdin
127
and stdout properly") and #211526 ("Codebrowse log directory has
128
unnecessarily permissive permissions")
130
- Some confusion about what the 'file_id' query argument means was
131
cleared up: filter_file_id now means "filter revisions to those
132
that affect this file" in all views and file_id means "examine
133
this file/directory" in the annotate and inventory views.
135
- Dates are present more compactly.
137
- The loggerhead.conf file can specify which network interface to
138
bind to (Mattias Eriksson)
143
- The changelog view was out of order when not using the revision
148
- Michael Hudson <michael.hudson@canonical.com> has mostly taken
149
over the maintenance of loggerhead.
151
- loggerhead now has a simple test suite -- use 'nosetests' in the
152
loggerhead directory to run it.
154
- The rendering performance of pages that display large amounts of
155
text was improved by a factor of 4 or so.
157
- loggerhead no longer caches the text of the diffs between
158
revisions. It rarely helped and wasted a lot of disk space.
160
- The layout of most pages was made more "tight" to waste less
161
screen real estate, and some other UI improvements (Kent
164
- Much dead code was removed.
166
- Loggerhead now computes the files changed between revisions only
167
when it needs to know this. This is a fairly expensive
168
operation in Bazaar, and doing it less massively improves
169
performance and memory usage in some situations.
171
- Loggerhead now takes a read lock on the branch being viewed for
172
the duration of each request, which improves performance
175
- Loggerhead no longer uses the corruption-prone Berkely DB-backed
176
shelve module for its caches, and rather (ab)uses a sqlite
179
- The creation of History objects is much faster for large
180
branches (Aaron Bentley).
182
- Allow the construction of URLs using revnos and file paths as
183
well as revids and fileids (bug #98826):
185
- For changes pages, append the newest revno to display to the
186
URL, like http://.../changes/<revno>
188
- For annotate pages, append the revno to display to the URL,
189
followed by the path, like http://.../annotate/<revno>/<path>
191
- For file listing and revision pages append the revno to
192
display to the URL, like http://.../files/<revno>
194
Loggerhead still generates URLs using revision and file ids for
197
- Many bugs were fixed:
199
- Loggerhead does not escape special characters when embedding a
200
revision ID in a URL (bug #88286)
202
- Improved robustness in the face of ghosts.
204
- Don't crash on displaying a commit with an empty message (bug
207
- codebrowse fails with infinite redirections (James Henstridge,
210
- Loggerhead fails to browse revisions that change binary files
211
(James Henstridge, bug #91686)
213
- Loggerhead atom feeds expose internal hostname (James
214
Henstridge, bug #93585)
216
- loggerhead don't like page break character (0x0C) in text
219
- codebrowse source listings don't contain line number anchors
222
- only serve up unescaped user content with "Content-Disposition:
225
- viewing the file listing consumes a lot memory (bug #116869)
227
- loggerhead can't handle empty branches (bug #119228)
229
- upgrading the format of a branch behind loggerhead could make
230
it fail for that branch (bug #118673)
232
- Error parsing non-ascii content (bug #117799)
234
- Loggerhead failed on whitespace-only commit messages.
236
- Links to diffs from within a revision do not work (bug
239
- UTF-8 patches served as ISO-8859-1, fixed by served bundles as
240
application/octet-stream (bug #121336)
242
- TurboGears was turning query arguments into unicode, and bzr
243
stopped accepting unicode revids (bug #175228)
249
- fix broken inventory page (oops!)
251
- fix a few rendering problems with kid and safari
257
- new feature to compare two revisions to each other
259
- inserted text in diffs is now blue instead of green
261
- fixed to start and stop as a daemon now (use "-f" to run in the
262
foreground), and all config is in loggerhead.conf (no need to mess with
265
- renamed show/hide javascript buttons to expand/collapse, and made them
268
- added an atom-feed link to each branch on the browse page [elliot
271
- auto-publish feature for multiple branches under a single folder (see
272
loggerhead.conf.example)
274
- added the ability to share cache files per-project instead of just
277
- added side-by-side diff display for the revision page (which is the
278
default), with a button to switch between side-by-side and unified diff
281
- made caching use file locking, and close cleanly on shutdown
283
- miscellaneous speed and page-size improvements
