What's changed in loggerhead?
2
=============================
7
- Michael Hudson <michael.hudson@canonical.com> has mostly taken
8
over the maintenance of loggerhead.
10
- loggerhead now has a simple test suite -- use 'nosetests' in the
11
loggerhead directory to run it.
13
- The rendering performance of pages that display large amounts of
14
text was improved by a factor of 4 or so.
16
- loggerhead no longer caches the text of the diffs between
17
revisions. It rarely helped and wasted a lot of disk space.
19
- The layout of most pages was made more "tight" to waste less
20
screen real estate, and some other UI improvements (Kent
23
- Much dead code was removed.
25
- Loggerhead now computes the files changed between revisions only
26
when it needs to know this. This is a fairly expensive
27
operation in Bazaar, and doing it less massively improves
28
performance and memory usage in some situations.
30
- Loggerhead now takes a read lock on the branch being viewed for
31
the duration of each request, which improves performance
34
- Loggerhead no longer uses the corruption-prone Berkely DB-backed
35
shelve module for its caches, and rather (ab)uses a sqlite
38
- The creation of History objects is much faster for large
39
branches (Aaron Bentley).
41
- Allow the construction of URLs using revnos and file paths as
42
well as revids and fileids (bug #98826):
44
- For changes pages, append the newest revno to display to the
45
URL, like http://.../changes/<revno>
47
- For annotate pages, append the revno to display to the URL,
48
followed by the path, like http://.../annotate/<revno>/<path>
50
- For file listing and revision pages append the revno to
51
display to the URL, like http://.../files/<revno>
53
Loggerhead still generates URLs using revision and file ids for
56
- Many bugs were fixed:
58
- Loggerhead does not escape special characters when embedding a
59
revision ID in a URL (bug #88286)
61
- Improved robustness in the face of ghosts.
63
- Don't crash on displaying a commit with an empty message (bug
66
- codebrowse fails with infinite redirections (James Henstridge,
69
- Loggerhead fails to browse revisions that change binary files
70
(James Henstridge, bug #91686)
72
- Loggerhead atom feeds expose internal hostname (James
73
Henstridge, bug #93585)
75
- loggerhead don't like page break character (0x0C) in text
78
- codebrowse source listings don't contain line number anchors
81
- only serve up unescaped user content with "Content-Disposition:
84
- viewing the file listing consumes a lot memory (bug #116869)
86
- loggerhead can't handle empty branches (bug #119228)
88
- upgrading the format of a branch behind loggerhead could make
89
it fail for that branch (bug #118673)
91
- Error parsing non-ascii content (bug #117799)
93
- Loggerhead failed on whitespace-only commit messages.
95
- Links to diffs from within a revision do not work (bug
98
- UTF-8 patches served as ISO-8859-1, fixed by served bundles as
99
application/octet-stream (bug #121336)
101
- TurboGears was turning query arguments into unicode, and bzr
102
stopped accepting unicode revids (bug #175228)
108
- fix broken inventory page (oops!)
110
- fix a few rendering problems with kid and safari
116
- new feature to compare two revisions to each other
118
- inserted text in diffs is now blue instead of green
120
- fixed to start and stop as a daemon now (use "-f" to run in the
121
foreground), and all config is in loggerhead.conf (no need to mess with
124
- renamed show/hide javascript buttons to expand/collapse, and made them
127
- added an atom-feed link to each branch on the browse page [elliot
130
- auto-publish feature for multiple branches under a single folder (see
131
loggerhead.conf.example)
133
- added the ability to share cache files per-project instead of just
136
- added side-by-side diff display for the revision page (which is the
137
default), with a button to switch between side-by-side and unified diff
140
- made caching use file locking, and close cleanly on shutdown
142
- miscellaneous speed and page-size improvements
