What's changed in loggerhead?
2
=============================
6
- Fix bug #258710 ("the /files page explodes in an empty branch").
7
Also minor improvements to the /files and /changes pages.
10
- Added --port, --host and --prefix options to serve-branches
11
script. (Martin Albisetti)
13
- Fixed broken template for project browsing with start-loggerhead
16
- Added --reload options to restart the application when a python
17
file change. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
19
- Added error handling middleware. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
21
- Fix bug #243415 ("Tracebacks go to console but not log
22
file"). Also minor improvements to logging in serve-branches and
23
start-loggerhead. (Guillermo Gonzalez)
28
- Download a diffs between revisions. (Martin Albisetti)
30
- Modified templates to make loggerhead's theme easier to
33
- Default sqlite interface is now sqlite3. (Robert Collins)
35
- New ninja theme sponsored by Canonical (Martin Albisetti)
37
- Added COPYING file and clarified copyright headers (John Arbash Meinel)
39
- Remove the .py extension requiered by the Debian Policy.
42
- New startup script serve-branches will serve Loggerhead without
43
the need of configuration, and allow you to browse through directories
44
and branches. (Michael Hudson)
46
- Loggerhead is no longer a TurboGears application, but rather a
47
WSGI application built using Paste (see http://wsgi.org/ and
48
http://pythonpaste.org/ for more about WSGI and Paste).
50
- URLs now use revision numbers instead of revision ids (Martin Albisetti)
52
- The scripts no longer insist on Python 2.4 -- loggerhead works
55
- Bazaar as of version 1.5 has improved in performance enough that
56
the revision cache no longer gave any noticeable benefit, so it
57
was removed (the files-changed cache is still useful).
59
- The templates were rewritten in Zope's TAL markup, powered by
60
the simpleTAL library -- improving both the performance and
61
memory consumption of rendering by a factor of around 3 for
62
large pages over the old Kid templates.
64
- Loggerhead's poorly performing text index was disabled. bzr-search
65
is now used if the plugin is installed and a text index is present
66
on the branch being viewed. (Martin Albisetti, Robert Collins).
68
- Loggerhead no longer depends on bzrlib functions deprecated in
69
Bazaar 1.5 and removed in 1.6 (Martin Albisetti).
71
- The daemonization code was made more regular, fixing bugs
72
#139161 ("Starting loggerhead process may not close its stdin
73
and stdout properly") and #211526 ("Codebrowse log directory has
74
unnecessarily permissive permissions")
76
- Some confusion about what the 'file_id' query argument means was
77
cleared up: filter_file_id now means "filter revisions to those
78
that affect this file" in all views and file_id means "examine
79
this file/directory" in the annotate and inventory views.
81
- Dates are present more compactly.
83
- The loggerhead.conf file can specify which network interface to
84
bind to (Mattias Eriksson)
89
- The changelog view was out of order when not using the revision
94
- Michael Hudson <michael.hudson@canonical.com> has mostly taken
95
over the maintenance of loggerhead.
97
- loggerhead now has a simple test suite -- use 'nosetests' in the
98
loggerhead directory to run it.
100
- The rendering performance of pages that display large amounts of
101
text was improved by a factor of 4 or so.
103
- loggerhead no longer caches the text of the diffs between
104
revisions. It rarely helped and wasted a lot of disk space.
106
- The layout of most pages was made more "tight" to waste less
107
screen real estate, and some other UI improvements (Kent
110
- Much dead code was removed.
112
- Loggerhead now computes the files changed between revisions only
113
when it needs to know this. This is a fairly expensive
114
operation in Bazaar, and doing it less massively improves
115
performance and memory usage in some situations.
117
- Loggerhead now takes a read lock on the branch being viewed for
118
the duration of each request, which improves performance
121
- Loggerhead no longer uses the corruption-prone Berkely DB-backed
122
shelve module for its caches, and rather (ab)uses a sqlite
125
- The creation of History objects is much faster for large
126
branches (Aaron Bentley).
128
- Allow the construction of URLs using revnos and file paths as
129
well as revids and fileids (bug #98826):
131
- For changes pages, append the newest revno to display to the
132
URL, like http://.../changes/<revno>
134
- For annotate pages, append the revno to display to the URL,
135
followed by the path, like http://.../annotate/<revno>/<path>
137
- For file listing and revision pages append the revno to
138
display to the URL, like http://.../files/<revno>
140
Loggerhead still generates URLs using revision and file ids for
143
- Many bugs were fixed:
145
- Loggerhead does not escape special characters when embedding a
146
revision ID in a URL (bug #88286)
148
- Improved robustness in the face of ghosts.
150
- Don't crash on displaying a commit with an empty message (bug
153
- codebrowse fails with infinite redirections (James Henstridge,
156
- Loggerhead fails to browse revisions that change binary files
157
(James Henstridge, bug #91686)
159
- Loggerhead atom feeds expose internal hostname (James
160
Henstridge, bug #93585)
162
- loggerhead don't like page break character (0x0C) in text
165
- codebrowse source listings don't contain line number anchors
168
- only serve up unescaped user content with "Content-Disposition:
171
- viewing the file listing consumes a lot memory (bug #116869)
173
- loggerhead can't handle empty branches (bug #119228)
175
- upgrading the format of a branch behind loggerhead could make
176
it fail for that branch (bug #118673)
178
- Error parsing non-ascii content (bug #117799)
180
- Loggerhead failed on whitespace-only commit messages.
182
- Links to diffs from within a revision do not work (bug
185
- UTF-8 patches served as ISO-8859-1, fixed by served bundles as
186
application/octet-stream (bug #121336)
188
- TurboGears was turning query arguments into unicode, and bzr
189
stopped accepting unicode revids (bug #175228)
195
- fix broken inventory page (oops!)
197
- fix a few rendering problems with kid and safari
203
- new feature to compare two revisions to each other
205
- inserted text in diffs is now blue instead of green
207
- fixed to start and stop as a daemon now (use "-f" to run in the
208
foreground), and all config is in loggerhead.conf (no need to mess with
211
- renamed show/hide javascript buttons to expand/collapse, and made them
214
- added an atom-feed link to each branch on the browse page [elliot
217
- auto-publish feature for multiple branches under a single folder (see
218
loggerhead.conf.example)
220
- added the ability to share cache files per-project instead of just
223
- added side-by-side diff display for the revision page (which is the
224
default), with a button to switch between side-by-side and unified diff
227
- made caching use file locking, and close cleanly on shutdown
229
- miscellaneous speed and page-size improvements
