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)
