What's changed in loggerhead?
2
=============================
7
- Add bug links in revision informations (Alexandre Garnier, #314052)
9
- Make sure that binary files aren't annotated. (Martin Albisetti,
12
- Loggerhead now serves bzr branches over HTTP and exposes the URL
13
to branch them. Addresses bug #240577. (Jonathan Lange)
15
- Leading blank lines in commit messages no longer result in an
16
empty summary. (Colin Watson)
18
- Added optional syntax highlighting to annotate view using
19
python-pygments. Partially addresses bug #306631. (Peter Bui)
21
- Convert newlines in commit messages to HTML line breaks for
22
annotate and changelog views. Addresses bug #273688. (Peter
25
- serve-branches now errors if run behind a proxy without
26
paste.deploy installed. (Michael Hudson)
28
- Loggerhead should now handle file and directory names that need
29
URL escaping without crashing.
31
- The start-loggerhead script properly sets the wsgi.url_scheme
32
from the server.webpath option. (neror, #260547)
34
- The revision page defaults to unified style again, and can
35
convert to a side-by-side view using JavaScript. (Michael Hudson)
37
- Clean up and improve performance of the annotate view. (Michael
40
- Finish converting JavaScript from MooTools to YUI 3. (Michael
43

46
empty summary. (Colin Watson)
48
- Clip long lines in side-by-side diff view. (Michael Hudson,
51
- The user-confusing "next" and "previous" links now read "older"
52
and "newer" respectively. (Michael Hudson, #297930)
54
- The annotate view now contains line number anchors. (Michael
57
- Fix inventory pages using "//" in links. (Michael Hudson, #329668)
59

60
other funny characters. (Peter Bui)
62

65

68
- Fix annotate error caused by Pygments stripping trailing
69
whitespace. (Michael Hudson, #338762)
71
- Loggerhead can be installed as a Bazaar plugin and run by
72
'bzr serve --http'. (Martin Pool)
74
- Load parts of the changelog and revision pages via XMLHttpRequest
75
to improve performance. This adds a dependency on simplejson or
76
json. Partially addresses bug #253950. (Michael Hudson)
78
- Various improvements to the animation JavaScript. (Michael Hudson)
80
- Fix HTML content of source files being displayed unescaped when

88
- Fix certain race conditions for loading bzr-search. (Robert
91

124
(Jelmer Vernooij, #306853)

145
file change. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
147

149
- Fix bug #243415 ("Tracebacks go to console but not log
150
file"). Also minor improvements to logging in serve-branches and
151
start-loggerhead. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
156
- Download a diffs between revisions. (Martin Albisetti)
158

170
- New startup script serve-branches will serve Loggerhead without
171
the need of configuration, and allow you to browse through directories
172
and branches. (Michael Hudson)
174
- Loggerhead is no longer a TurboGears application, but rather a
175
WSGI application built using Paste (see http://wsgi.org/ and
176
http://pythonpaste.org/ for more about WSGI and Paste).
178
- URLs now use revision numbers instead of revision ids (Martin Albisetti)
180
- The scripts no longer insist on Python 2.4 -- loggerhead works
183
- Bazaar as of version 1.5 has improved in performance enough that
184
the revision cache no longer gave any noticeable benefit, so it
185
was removed (the files-changed cache is still useful).
187
- The templates were rewritten in Zope's TAL markup, powered by
188
the simpleTAL library -- improving both the performance and
189
memory consumption of rendering by a factor of around 3 for
190
large pages over the old Kid templates.
192
- Loggerhead's poorly performing text index was disabled. bzr-search
193
is now used if the plugin is installed and a text index is present
194
on the branch being viewed. (Martin Albisetti, Robert Collins).
196
- Loggerhead no longer depends on bzrlib functions deprecated in
197
Bazaar 1.5 and removed in 1.6 (Martin Albisetti).
199
- The daemonization code was made more regular, fixing bugs
200
#139161 ("Starting loggerhead process may not close its stdin
201
and stdout properly") and #211526 ("Codebrowse log directory has
202
unnecessarily permissive permissions")
204
- Some confusion about what the 'file_id' query argument means was
205
cleared up: filter_file_id now means "filter revisions to those
206
that affect this file" in all views and file_id means "examine
207
this file/directory" in the annotate and inventory views.
209
- Dates are present more compactly.
211
- The loggerhead.conf file can specify which network interface to
212
bind to (Mattias Eriksson)
217
- The changelog view was out of order when not using the revision
222
- Michael Hudson <michael.hudson@canonical.com> has mostly taken
223
over the maintenance of loggerhead.
225
- loggerhead now has a simple test suite -- use 'nosetests' in the
226
loggerhead directory to run it.
228
- The rendering performance of pages that display large amounts of
229
text was improved by a factor of 4 or so.
231
- loggerhead no longer caches the text of the diffs between
232
revisions. It rarely helped and wasted a lot of disk space.
234
- The layout of most pages was made more "tight" to waste less
235
screen real estate, and some other UI improvements (Kent
238
- Much dead code was removed.
240
- Loggerhead now computes the files changed between revisions only
241
when it needs to know this. This is a fairly expensive
242
operation in Bazaar, and doing it less massively improves
243
performance and memory usage in some situations.
245
- Loggerhead now takes a read lock on the branch being viewed for
246
the duration of each request, which improves performance
249
- Loggerhead no longer uses the corruption-prone Berkely DB-backed
250
shelve module for its caches, and rather (ab)uses a sqlite
253
- The creation of History objects is much faster for large
254
branches (Aaron Bentley).
256
- Allow the construction of URLs using revnos and file paths as
257
well as revids and fileids (bug #98826):
259
- For changes pages, append the newest revno to display to the
260
URL, like http://.../changes/<revno>
262
- For annotate pages, append the revno to display to the URL,
263
followed by the path, like http://.../annotate/<revno>/<path>
265
- For file listing and revision pages append the revno to
266
display to the URL, like http://.../files/<revno>
268
Loggerhead still generates URLs using revision and file ids for
271
- Many bugs were fixed:
273
- Loggerhead does not escape special characters when embedding a
274
revision ID in a URL (bug #88286)
276
- Improved robustness in the face of ghosts.
278
- Don't crash on displaying a commit with an empty message (bug
281
- codebrowse fails with infinite redirections (James Henstridge,
284
- Loggerhead fails to browse revisions that change binary files
285
(James Henstridge, bug #91686)
287
- Loggerhead atom feeds expose internal hostname (James
288
Henstridge, bug #93585)
290
- loggerhead don't like page break character (0x0C) in text
293
- codebrowse source listings don't contain line number anchors
296
- only serve up unescaped user content with "Content-Disposition:
299
- viewing the file listing consumes a lot memory (bug #116869)
301
- loggerhead can't handle empty branches (bug #119228)
303
- upgrading the format of a branch behind loggerhead could make
304
it fail for that branch (bug #118673)
306
- Error parsing non-ascii content (bug #117799)
308
- Loggerhead failed on whitespace-only commit messages.
310
- Links to diffs from within a revision do not work (bug
313
- UTF-8 patches served as ISO-8859-1, fixed by served bundles as
314
application/octet-stream (bug #121336)
316
- TurboGears was turning query arguments into unicode, and bzr
317
stopped accepting unicode revids (bug #175228)
323
- fix broken inventory page (oops!)
325
- fix a few rendering problems with kid and safari
331
- new feature to compare two revisions to each other
333
- inserted text in diffs is now blue instead of green
335
- fixed to start and stop as a daemon now (use "-f" to run in the
336
foreground), and all config is in loggerhead.conf (no need to mess with
339
- renamed show/hide javascript buttons to expand/collapse, and made them
342
- added an atom-feed link to each branch on the browse page [elliot
345
- auto-publish feature for multiple branches under a single folder (see
346
loggerhead.conf.example)
348
- added the ability to share cache files per-project instead of just
351
- added side-by-side diff display for the revision page (which is the
352
default), with a button to switch between side-by-side and unified diff
355
- made caching use file locking, and close cleanly on shutdown
357
- miscellaneous speed and page-size improvements
