------------------
Release Date
^^^^^^^^^^^^
- 2020-11-20
New Features
^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Comments: introduced new draft comments.
* drafts are private to author
* not triggering any notifications
* sidebar doesn't display draft comments
* They are just placeholders for longer review.
- Comments: when channelstream is enabled, comments are pushed live, so there's no
need to refresh page to see other participant comments.
New comments are marker in the sidebar.
- Comments: multiple changes on comments navigation/display logic.
* toggle icon is smarter, open/hide windows according to actions. E.g commenting opens threads
* toggle are mor explicit
* possible to hide/show only single threads using the toggle icon.
* new UI for showing thread comments
- Reviewers: new logic for author/commit-author rules.
It's not possible to define if author or commit author should be excluded, or always included in a review.
- Reviewers: no reviewers would now allow a PR to be merged, unless review rules require some.
Use case is that pr can be created without review needed, maybe just for sharing, or CI checks
- Pull requests: save permanently the state if sorting columns for pull-request grids.
- Commit ranges: enable combined diff compare directly from range selector.
General
^^^^^^^
- Authentication: enable custom names for auth plugins. It's possible to name the authentication
buttons now for SAML plugins.
- Login: optimized UI for login/register/password reset windows.
- Repo mapper: make it more resilient to errors, it's better it executes and skip certain
repositories, rather then crash whole mapper.
- Markdown: improved styling, and fixed nl2br extensions to only do br on new elements not inline.
- Pull requests: show pr version in the my-account and repo pr listing grids.
- Archives: allowing to obtain archives without the commit short id in the name for
better automation of obtained artifacts.
New url flag called `?=with_hash=1` controls this
- Error document: update info about stored exception retrieval.
- Range diff: enable hovercards for commits in range-diff.
Security
^^^^^^^^
Performance
^^^^^^^^^^^
- Improved logic of repo archive, now it's much faster to run archiver as VCSServer
communication was removed, and job is delegated to VCSServer itself.
- Improved VCSServer startup times.
- Notifications: skip double rendering just to generate email title/desc.
We'll re-use those now for better performance of creating notifications.
- App: improve logging, and remove DB calls on app startup.
Fixes
^^^^^
- Login/register: fixed header width problem on mobile devices
- Exception tracker: don't fail on empty request in context of celery app for example.
- Exceptions: improved reporting of unhandled vcsserver exceptions.
- Sidebar: fixed refresh of TODOs url.
- Remap-rescan: fixes #5636 initial rescan problem.
- API: fixed SVN raw diff export. The API method was inconsistent, and used different logic.
Now it shares the same code as raw-diff from web-ui.
Upgrade notes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Scheduled feature release.
Please note that now the reviewers logic changed a bit, it's possible to create a pull request
Without any reviewers initially, and such pull request doesn't need to have an approval for merging.
