What's changed in loggerhead? ============================= dev [future] --------------- 1.10 [22Dec2008] --------------- - Add startup deamon script for Linux (Marius Kruger) - Switch navigation from file_ids to paths. Fixes bugs #260363, #269365 and #128926. (Martin Albisetti) - Fix bug #258710 ("the /files page explodes in an empty branch"). Also minor improvements to the /files and /changes pages. (Marius Kruger) - Added --port, --host and --prefix options to serve-branches script. (Martin Albisetti) - Fixed broken template for project browsing with start-loggerhead (Martin Albisetti) - Added --reload options to restart the application when a python file change. (Guillermo Gonzalez) - Added error handling middleware. (Guillermo Gonzalez) - Fix bug #243415 ("Tracebacks go to console but not log file"). Also minor improvements to logging in serve-branches and start-loggerhead. (Guillermo Gonzalez) 1.6 [15Aug2008] ---------------- - Download a diffs between revisions. (Martin Albisetti) - Modified templates to make loggerhead's theme easier to change. (Paul Hummer) - Default sqlite interface is now sqlite3. (Robert Collins) - New ninja theme sponsored by Canonical (Martin Albisetti) - Added COPYING file and clarified copyright headers (John Arbash Meinel) - Remove the .py extension requiered by the Debian Policy. (Jelmer Vernooij) - New startup script serve-branches will serve Loggerhead without the need of configuration, and allow you to browse through directories and branches. (Michael Hudson) - Loggerhead is no longer a TurboGears application, but rather a WSGI application built using Paste (see http://wsgi.org/ and http://pythonpaste.org/ for more about WSGI and Paste). - URLs now use revision numbers instead of revision ids (Martin Albisetti) - The scripts no longer insist on Python 2.4 -- loggerhead works fine with 2.5. - Bazaar as of version 1.5 has improved in performance enough that the revision cache no longer gave any noticeable benefit, so it was removed (the files-changed cache is still useful). - The templates were rewritten in Zope's TAL markup, powered by the simpleTAL library -- improving both the performance and memory consumption of rendering by a factor of around 3 for large pages over the old Kid templates. - Loggerhead's poorly performing text index was disabled. bzr-search is now used if the plugin is installed and a text index is present on the branch being viewed. (Martin Albisetti, Robert Collins). - Loggerhead no longer depends on bzrlib functions deprecated in Bazaar 1.5 and removed in 1.6 (Martin Albisetti). - The daemonization code was made more regular, fixing bugs #139161 ("Starting loggerhead process may not close its stdin and stdout properly") and #211526 ("Codebrowse log directory has unnecessarily permissive permissions") - Some confusion about what the 'file_id' query argument means was cleared up: filter_file_id now means "filter revisions to those that affect this file" in all views and file_id means "examine this file/directory" in the annotate and inventory views. - Dates are present more compactly. - The loggerhead.conf file can specify which network interface to bind to (Mattias Eriksson) 1.2.1 [06mar2008] ------------------ - The changelog view was out of order when not using the revision cache. 1.2 [04mar2008] - Michael Hudson has mostly taken over the maintenance of loggerhead. - loggerhead now has a simple test suite -- use 'nosetests' in the loggerhead directory to run it. - The rendering performance of pages that display large amounts of text was improved by a factor of 4 or so. - loggerhead no longer caches the text of the diffs between revisions. It rarely helped and wasted a lot of disk space. - The layout of most pages was made more "tight" to waste less screen real estate, and some other UI improvements (Kent Gibson). - Much dead code was removed. - Loggerhead now computes the files changed between revisions only when it needs to know this. This is a fairly expensive operation in Bazaar, and doing it less massively improves performance and memory usage in some situations. - Loggerhead now takes a read lock on the branch being viewed for the duration of each request, which improves performance significantly. - Loggerhead no longer uses the corruption-prone Berkely DB-backed shelve module for its caches, and rather (ab)uses a sqlite database instead. - The creation of History objects is much faster for large branches (Aaron Bentley). - Allow the construction of URLs using revnos and file paths as well as revids and fileids (bug #98826): - For changes pages, append the newest revno to display to the URL, like http://.../changes/ - For annotate pages, append the revno to display to the URL, followed by the path, like http://.../annotate// - For file listing and revision pages append the revno to display to the URL, like http://.../files/ Loggerhead still generates URLs using revision and file ids for the moment. - Many bugs were fixed: - Loggerhead does not escape special characters when embedding a revision ID in a URL (bug #88286) - Improved robustness in the face of ghosts. - Don't crash on displaying a commit with an empty message (bug #86247) - codebrowse fails with infinite redirections (James Henstridge, bug #89854) - Loggerhead fails to browse revisions that change binary files (James Henstridge, bug #91686) - Loggerhead atom feeds expose internal hostname (James Henstridge, bug #93585) - loggerhead don't like page break character (0x0C) in text files (bug #113313) - codebrowse source listings don't contain line number anchors (bug #98826) - only serve up unescaped user content with "Content-Disposition: attachment" - viewing the file listing consumes a lot memory (bug #116869) - loggerhead can't handle empty branches (bug #119228) - upgrading the format of a branch behind loggerhead could make it fail for that branch (bug #118673) - Error parsing non-ascii content (bug #117799) - Loggerhead failed on whitespace-only commit messages. - Links to diffs from within a revision do not work (bug #119422) - UTF-8 patches served as ISO-8859-1, fixed by served bundles as application/octet-stream (bug #121336) - TurboGears was turning query arguments into unicode, and bzr stopped accepting unicode revids (bug #175228) 1.1.1 [24jan2007] ------------------ - fix broken inventory page (oops!) - fix a few rendering problems with kid and safari 1.1 [20jan2007] ---------------- - new feature to compare two revisions to each other - inserted text in diffs is now blue instead of green - fixed to start and stop as a daemon now (use "-f" to run in the foreground), and all config is in loggerhead.conf (no need to mess with dev.cfg) - renamed show/hide javascript buttons to expand/collapse, and made them much faster - added an atom-feed link to each branch on the browse page [elliot murphy] - auto-publish feature for multiple branches under a single folder (see loggerhead.conf.example) - added the ability to share cache files per-project instead of just per-branch - added side-by-side diff display for the revision page (which is the default), with a button to switch between side-by-side and unified diff format - made caching use file locking, and close cleanly on shutdown - miscellaneous speed and page-size improvements 1.0 [23dec2006] ---------------- - initial release
