What's changed in loggerhead?
2
=============================
6
- Added --port, --host and --prefix options to serve-branches
7
script. (Martin Albisetti)
9
- Fixed broken template for project browsing with start-loggerhead
15
- Download a diffs between revisions. (Martin Albisetti)
17
- Modified templates to make loggerhead's theme easier to
20
- Default sqlite interface is now sqlite3. (Robert Collins)
22
- New ninja theme sponsored by Canonical (Martin Albisetti)
24
- Added COPYING file and clarified copyright headers (John Arbash Meinel)
26
- Remove the .py extension requiered by the Debian Policy.
29
- New startup script serve-branches will serve Loggerhead without
30
the need of configuration, and allow you to browse through directories
31
and branches. (Michael Hudson)
33
- Loggerhead is no longer a TurboGears application, but rather a
34
WSGI application built using Paste (see http://wsgi.org/ and
35
http://pythonpaste.org/ for more about WSGI and Paste).
37
- URLs now use revision numbers instead of revision ids (Martin Albisetti)
39
- The scripts no longer insist on Python 2.4 -- loggerhead works
42
- Bazaar as of version 1.5 has improved in performance enough that
43
the revision cache no longer gave any noticeable benefit, so it
44
was removed (the files-changed cache is still useful).
46
- The templates were rewritten in Zope's TAL markup, powered by
47
the simpleTAL library -- improving both the performance and
48
memory consumption of rendering by a factor of around 3 for
49
large pages over the old Kid templates.
51
- Loggerhead's poorly performing text index was disabled. bzr-search
52
is now used if the plugin is installed and a text index is present
53
on the branch being viewed. (Martin Albisetti, Robert Collins).
55
- Loggerhead no longer depends on bzrlib functions deprecated in
56
Bazaar 1.5 and removed in 1.6 (Martin Albisetti).
58
- The daemonization code was made more regular, fixing bugs
59
#139161 ("Starting loggerhead process may not close its stdin
60
and stdout properly") and #211526 ("Codebrowse log directory has
61
unnecessarily permissive permissions")
63
- Some confusion about what the 'file_id' query argument means was
64
cleared up: filter_file_id now means "filter revisions to those
65
that affect this file" in all views and file_id means "examine
66
this file/directory" in the annotate and inventory views.
68
- Dates are present more compactly.
70
- The loggerhead.conf file can specify which network interface to
71
bind to (Mattias Eriksson)
76
- The changelog view was out of order when not using the revision
81
- Michael Hudson <michael.hudson@canonical.com> has mostly taken
82
over the maintenance of loggerhead.
84
- loggerhead now has a simple test suite -- use 'nosetests' in the
85
loggerhead directory to run it.
87
- The rendering performance of pages that display large amounts of
88
text was improved by a factor of 4 or so.
90
- loggerhead no longer caches the text of the diffs between
91
revisions. It rarely helped and wasted a lot of disk space.
93
- The layout of most pages was made more "tight" to waste less
94
screen real estate, and some other UI improvements (Kent
97
- Much dead code was removed.
99
- Loggerhead now computes the files changed between revisions only
100
when it needs to know this. This is a fairly expensive
101
operation in Bazaar, and doing it less massively improves
102
performance and memory usage in some situations.
104
- Loggerhead now takes a read lock on the branch being viewed for
105
the duration of each request, which improves performance
108
- Loggerhead no longer uses the corruption-prone Berkely DB-backed
109
shelve module for its caches, and rather (ab)uses a sqlite
112
- The creation of History objects is much faster for large
113
branches (Aaron Bentley).
115
- Allow the construction of URLs using revnos and file paths as
116
well as revids and fileids (bug #98826):
118
- For changes pages, append the newest revno to display to the
119
URL, like http://.../changes/<revno>
121
- For annotate pages, append the revno to display to the URL,
122
followed by the path, like http://.../annotate/<revno>/<path>
124
- For file listing and revision pages append the revno to
125
display to the URL, like http://.../files/<revno>
127
Loggerhead still generates URLs using revision and file ids for
130
- Many bugs were fixed:
132
- Loggerhead does not escape special characters when embedding a
133
revision ID in a URL (bug #88286)
135
- Improved robustness in the face of ghosts.
137
- Don't crash on displaying a commit with an empty message (bug
140
- codebrowse fails with infinite redirections (James Henstridge,
143
- Loggerhead fails to browse revisions that change binary files
144
(James Henstridge, bug #91686)
146
- Loggerhead atom feeds expose internal hostname (James
147
Henstridge, bug #93585)
149
- loggerhead don't like page break character (0x0C) in text
152
- codebrowse source listings don't contain line number anchors
155
- only serve up unescaped user content with "Content-Disposition:
158
- viewing the file listing consumes a lot memory (bug #116869)
160
- loggerhead can't handle empty branches (bug #119228)
162
- upgrading the format of a branch behind loggerhead could make
163
it fail for that branch (bug #118673)
165
- Error parsing non-ascii content (bug #117799)
167
- Loggerhead failed on whitespace-only commit messages.
169
- Links to diffs from within a revision do not work (bug
172
- UTF-8 patches served as ISO-8859-1, fixed by served bundles as
173
application/octet-stream (bug #121336)
175
- TurboGears was turning query arguments into unicode, and bzr
176
stopped accepting unicode revids (bug #175228)
182
- fix broken inventory page (oops!)
184
- fix a few rendering problems with kid and safari
190
- new feature to compare two revisions to each other
192
- inserted text in diffs is now blue instead of green
194
- fixed to start and stop as a daemon now (use "-f" to run in the
195
foreground), and all config is in loggerhead.conf (no need to mess with
198
- renamed show/hide javascript buttons to expand/collapse, and made them
201
- added an atom-feed link to each branch on the browse page [elliot
204
- auto-publish feature for multiple branches under a single folder (see
205
loggerhead.conf.example)
207
- added the ability to share cache files per-project instead of just
210
- added side-by-side diff display for the revision page (which is the
211
default), with a button to switch between side-by-side and unified diff
214
- made caching use file locking, and close cleanly on shutdown
216
- miscellaneous speed and page-size improvements
