What's changed in loggerhead?
2
=============================
6
- Loggerhead now serves bzr branches over HTTP and exposes the URL to
7
branch them. (Jonathan Lange)
9
- Leading blank lines in commit messages no longer result in an empty
10
summary. (Colin Watson)
12
- Added syntax highlighting to annotate view using python-pygments.
13
Partially addresses bug #306631. (Peter Bui)
17
- Add startup deamon script for Linux (Marius Kruger)
19
- Switch navigation from file_ids to paths. Fixes bugs #260363, #269365
20
and #128926. (Martin Albisetti)
22
- Fix bug #258710 ("the /files page explodes in an empty branch").
23
Also minor improvements to the /files and /changes pages.
26
- Added --port, --host and --prefix options to serve-branches
27
script. (Martin Albisetti)
29
- Fixed broken template for project browsing with start-loggerhead
32
- Added --reload options to restart the application when a python
33
file change. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
35
- Added error handling middleware. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
37
- Fix bug #243415 ("Tracebacks go to console but not log
38
file"). Also minor improvements to logging in serve-branches and
39
start-loggerhead. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
44
- Download a diffs between revisions. (Martin Albisetti)
46
- Modified templates to make loggerhead's theme easier to
49
- Default sqlite interface is now sqlite3. (Robert Collins)
51
- New ninja theme sponsored by Canonical (Martin Albisetti)
53
- Added COPYING file and clarified copyright headers (John Arbash Meinel)
55
- Remove the .py extension requiered by the Debian Policy.
58
- New startup script serve-branches will serve Loggerhead without
59
the need of configuration, and allow you to browse through directories
60
and branches. (Michael Hudson)
62
- Loggerhead is no longer a TurboGears application, but rather a
63
WSGI application built using Paste (see http://wsgi.org/ and
64
http://pythonpaste.org/ for more about WSGI and Paste).
66
- URLs now use revision numbers instead of revision ids (Martin Albisetti)
68
- The scripts no longer insist on Python 2.4 -- loggerhead works
71
- Bazaar as of version 1.5 has improved in performance enough that
72
the revision cache no longer gave any noticeable benefit, so it
73
was removed (the files-changed cache is still useful).
75
- The templates were rewritten in Zope's TAL markup, powered by
76
the simpleTAL library -- improving both the performance and
77
memory consumption of rendering by a factor of around 3 for
78
large pages over the old Kid templates.
80
- Loggerhead's poorly performing text index was disabled. bzr-search
81
is now used if the plugin is installed and a text index is present
82
on the branch being viewed. (Martin Albisetti, Robert Collins).
84
- Loggerhead no longer depends on bzrlib functions deprecated in
85
Bazaar 1.5 and removed in 1.6 (Martin Albisetti).
87
- The daemonization code was made more regular, fixing bugs
88
#139161 ("Starting loggerhead process may not close its stdin
89
and stdout properly") and #211526 ("Codebrowse log directory has
90
unnecessarily permissive permissions")
92
- Some confusion about what the 'file_id' query argument means was
93
cleared up: filter_file_id now means "filter revisions to those
94
that affect this file" in all views and file_id means "examine
95
this file/directory" in the annotate and inventory views.
97
- Dates are present more compactly.
99
- The loggerhead.conf file can specify which network interface to
100
bind to (Mattias Eriksson)
105
- The changelog view was out of order when not using the revision
110
- Michael Hudson <michael.hudson@canonical.com> has mostly taken
111
over the maintenance of loggerhead.
113
- loggerhead now has a simple test suite -- use 'nosetests' in the
114
loggerhead directory to run it.
116
- The rendering performance of pages that display large amounts of
117
text was improved by a factor of 4 or so.
119
- loggerhead no longer caches the text of the diffs between
120
revisions. It rarely helped and wasted a lot of disk space.
122
- The layout of most pages was made more "tight" to waste less
123
screen real estate, and some other UI improvements (Kent
126
- Much dead code was removed.
128
- Loggerhead now computes the files changed between revisions only
129
when it needs to know this. This is a fairly expensive
130
operation in Bazaar, and doing it less massively improves
131
performance and memory usage in some situations.
133
- Loggerhead now takes a read lock on the branch being viewed for
134
the duration of each request, which improves performance
137
- Loggerhead no longer uses the corruption-prone Berkely DB-backed
138
shelve module for its caches, and rather (ab)uses a sqlite
141
- The creation of History objects is much faster for large
142
branches (Aaron Bentley).
144
- Allow the construction of URLs using revnos and file paths as
145
well as revids and fileids (bug #98826):
147
- For changes pages, append the newest revno to display to the
148
URL, like http://.../changes/<revno>
150
- For annotate pages, append the revno to display to the URL,
151
followed by the path, like http://.../annotate/<revno>/<path>
153
- For file listing and revision pages append the revno to
154
display to the URL, like http://.../files/<revno>
156
Loggerhead still generates URLs using revision and file ids for
159
- Many bugs were fixed:
161
- Loggerhead does not escape special characters when embedding a
162
revision ID in a URL (bug #88286)
164
- Improved robustness in the face of ghosts.
166
- Don't crash on displaying a commit with an empty message (bug
169
- codebrowse fails with infinite redirections (James Henstridge,
172
- Loggerhead fails to browse revisions that change binary files
173
(James Henstridge, bug #91686)
175
- Loggerhead atom feeds expose internal hostname (James
176
Henstridge, bug #93585)
178
- loggerhead don't like page break character (0x0C) in text
181
- codebrowse source listings don't contain line number anchors
184
- only serve up unescaped user content with "Content-Disposition:
187
- viewing the file listing consumes a lot memory (bug #116869)
189
- loggerhead can't handle empty branches (bug #119228)
191
- upgrading the format of a branch behind loggerhead could make
192
it fail for that branch (bug #118673)
194
- Error parsing non-ascii content (bug #117799)
196
- Loggerhead failed on whitespace-only commit messages.
198
- Links to diffs from within a revision do not work (bug
201
- UTF-8 patches served as ISO-8859-1, fixed by served bundles as
202
application/octet-stream (bug #121336)
204
- TurboGears was turning query arguments into unicode, and bzr
205
stopped accepting unicode revids (bug #175228)
211
- fix broken inventory page (oops!)
213
- fix a few rendering problems with kid and safari
219
- new feature to compare two revisions to each other
221
- inserted text in diffs is now blue instead of green
223
- fixed to start and stop as a daemon now (use "-f" to run in the
224
foreground), and all config is in loggerhead.conf (no need to mess with
227
- renamed show/hide javascript buttons to expand/collapse, and made them
230
- added an atom-feed link to each branch on the browse page [elliot
233
- auto-publish feature for multiple branches under a single folder (see
234
loggerhead.conf.example)
236
- added the ability to share cache files per-project instead of just
239
- added side-by-side diff display for the revision page (which is the
240
default), with a button to switch between side-by-side and unified diff
243
- made caching use file locking, and close cleanly on shutdown
245
- miscellaneous speed and page-size improvements
