----------------- | ||||
Release Date | ||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^ | ||||
- 2016-12-02 | ||||
New Features | ||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^ | ||||
- Diffs: re-implemented diff engine. Added: Syntax highlighting inside diffs, | ||||
new side-by-side view with commenting and live chat. Enabled soft-wrapping of | ||||
long lines and much improved rendering speed for large diffs. | ||||
- File source view: new file display engine. File view now | ||||
soft wraps long lines. Double click inside file view show occurrences of | ||||
clicked item. Added pygments-markdown-lexer for highlighting markdown syntax. | ||||
- Files annotation: Added new grouped annotations. Color all related commits | ||||
by double clicking singe commit in annotation view. | ||||
- Pull request reviewers (EE only): added new default reviewers functionality. | ||||
Allows picking users or user groups defined as reviewers for new pull request. | ||||
Picking reviewers can be based on branch name, changed file name patterns or | ||||
r1602 | original author of changed source code. eg \*.css -> design team. | |||
r1168 | Master branch -> repo owner, fixes #1131. | |||
- Pull request reviewers: store and show reasons why given person is a reviewer. | ||||
Manually adding reviewers after creating a PR will now be also indicated | ||||
together with who added a given person to review. | ||||
- Integrations: Webhooks integration now allows to use variables inside the | ||||
call URL. Currently supported variables are ${repo_name}, ${repo_type}, | ||||
${repo_id}, ${repo_url}, ${branch}, ${commit_id}, ${pull_request_id}, | ||||
${pull_request_url}. Commits are now grouped by branches as well. | ||||
Allows much easier integration with CI systems. | ||||
- Integrations (EE only): allow wildcard * project key in Jira integration | ||||
settings to allow referencing multiple projects per commit, fixes #4267. | ||||
- Live notifications: RhodeCode sends live notification to online | ||||
users on certain events and pages. Currently this works on: invite to chat, | ||||
update pull request, commit/inline comment. Part of live code review system. | ||||
Allows users to update the reviewed code while doing the review and never | ||||
miss any updates or comment replies as they happen. Requires channelstream | ||||
to be enabled. | ||||
- Repository groups: added default personal repository groups. Personal groups | ||||
are isolated playground for users allowing them to create projects or forks. | ||||
Adds new setting to automatically create personal repo groups for newly | ||||
created users. New groups are created from specified pattern, for example | ||||
/u/{username}. Implements #4003. | ||||
- Security: It's now possible to disable password reset functionality. | ||||
This is useful for cases when users only use LDAP or similar types of | ||||
authentication. Implements #3944 | ||||
- Pull requests: exposed shadow repositories to end users. Users are now given | ||||
access to the shadow repository which represents state after merge performed. | ||||
In this way users or especially CI servers can much easier perform code | ||||
analysis of the final merged code. | ||||
- Pull requests: My account > pull request page now uses datagrid. | ||||
It's faster, filterable and sortable. Fixes #4297. | ||||
- Pull requests: delete pull request action was moved from my account | ||||
into pull request view itself. This is where everyone was looking for it. | ||||
- Pull requests: improve showing failed merges with proper status in pull | ||||
request page. | ||||
- User groups: overhaul of edit user group page. Added new selector for | ||||
adding new user group members. | ||||
- Licensing (EE only): exposed unlock link to deactivate users that are over | ||||
license limit, to unlock full functionality. This might happen when migrating | ||||
from CE into EE, and your license supports less active users then allowed. | ||||
- Global settings: add a new header/footer template to allow flash filtering. | ||||
In case a license warning appears and admin wants to hide it for some time. | ||||
The new template can be used to do this. | ||||
- System info: added create snapshot button to easily generate system state | ||||
report. Comes in handy for support and reporting. System state holds | ||||
information such as free disk/memory, CPU load and some of RhodeCode settings. | ||||
- System info: fetch and show vcs settings from vcsserver. Fixes #4276. | ||||
- System info: use real memory usage based on new psutil api available. | ||||
- System info: added info about temporary storage. | ||||
- System info: expose inode limits and usage. Fixes #4282. | ||||
- Ui: added new icon for merge commit. | ||||
General | ||||
^^^^^^^ | ||||
- Notifications: move all notifications into polymer for consistency. | ||||
Fixes #4201. | ||||
- Live chat (EE): Improved UI for live-chat. Use Codemirror editor as | ||||
input for text box. | ||||
- Api: WARNING DEPRECATION, refactor repository group schemas. Fixes #4133. | ||||
When using create_repo, create_repo_group, update_repo, update_repo_group | ||||
r1602 | the \*_name parameter now takes full path including sub repository groups. | |||
r1168 | This is the only way to add resource under another repository group. | |||
Furthermore giving non-existing path will no longer create the missing | ||||
structure. This change makes the api more consistent, it better validates | ||||
the errors in the data sent to given api call. | ||||
- Pull requests: disable subrepo handling on pull requests. It means users can | ||||
now use more types of repositories with subrepos to create pull requests. | ||||
Since handling is disabled, repositories behind authentication, or outside | ||||
of network can be used. | ||||
- VCSServer: fetch backend info from vcsserver including git/hg/svn versions | ||||
and connection information. | ||||
- Svn support: it's no longer required to put in repo root path to | ||||
generate mod-dav-svn config. Fixes #4203. | ||||
- Svn support: Add reload command option (svn.proxy.reload_cmd) to ini files. | ||||
Apache can now be automatically reloaded when the mod_dav_svn config changes. | ||||
- Svn support: Add a view to trigger the (re)generation of Apache mod_dav_svn | ||||
configuration file. Users are able to generate such file manually by clicking | ||||
that button. | ||||
- Dependency: updated subversion library to 1.9. | ||||
- Dependency: updated ipython to 5.1.0. | ||||
- Dependency: updated psutil to 4.3.1. | ||||
Security | ||||
^^^^^^^^ | ||||
- Hipchat: escape user entered data to avoid xss/formatting problems. | ||||
- VCSServer: obfuscate credentials added into remote url during remote | ||||
repository creation. Prevents leaking of those credentials inside | ||||
RhodeCode logs. | ||||
Performance | ||||
^^^^^^^^^^^ | ||||
- Diffs: new diff engine is much smarter when it comes to showing huge diffs. | ||||
The rendering speed should be much improved in such cases, however showing | ||||
full diff is still supported. | ||||
- VCS backends: when using a repo object from database, re-use this information | ||||
instead of trying to detect a backend. Reduces the traffic to vcsserver. | ||||
- Pull requests: Add a column to hold the last merge revision. This will skip | ||||
heavy recalculation of merge state if nothing changed inside a pull request. | ||||
- File source view: don't load the file if it is over the size limit since it | ||||
won't be displayed anyway. This increases speed of loading the page when a | ||||
file is above cut-off limit defined. | ||||
Fixes | ||||
^^^^^ | ||||
- Users admin: fixed search filter in user admin page. | ||||
- Autocomplete: improve the lookup of users with non-ascii characters. In case | ||||
of unicode email the previous method could generate wrong data, and | ||||
make search not show up such users. | ||||
- Svn: added request header downgrade for COPY command to work on | ||||
https setup. Fixes #4307. | ||||
- Svn: add handling of renamed files inside our generated changes metadata. | ||||
Fixes #4258. | ||||
- Pull requests: fixed problem with creating pull requests on empty repositories. | ||||
- Events: use branch from previous commit for repo push event commits data so | ||||
that per-branch grouping works. Fixes #4233. | ||||
- Login: make sure recaptcha data is always validated. Fixes #4279. | ||||
- Vcs: Use commit date as modification time when creating archives. | ||||
Fixes problem with unstable hashes for archives. Fixes #4247. | ||||
- Issue trackers: fixed bug where saving empty issue tracker via form was | ||||
causing exception. Fixes #4278. | ||||
- Styling: fixed gravatar size for pull request reviewers. | ||||
- Ldap: fixed email extraction typo. An empty email from LDAP server will now | ||||
not overwrite the stored one. | ||||
- Integrations: use consistent formatting of users data in Slack integration. | ||||
- Meta-tags: meta tags are not taken into account when truncating descriptions | ||||
r1181 | that are too long. Fixes #4305. | |||
Upgrade notes | ||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | ||||
- Api: please adjust your scripts that uses any of create_repo, | ||||
create_repo_group, update_repo, update_repo_group. There's an important change | ||||
in how the repo_name/group_name parameters work. Please check the API docs | ||||
for latest information. | ||||
- Installation: starting from 4.5.0 installer now changes the default mode to http. | ||||
If you were using the `self_managed_supervisor=True` flag inside | ||||
`.rccontrol.ini` to manually switch to that mode. This is no longer required | ||||
and we recommend removing that flag. Migration should already change that | ||||
however in case of any troubles with VCSServer after upgrade | ||||
please make sure `vcs.protocol=` is set to `http` and not `pyro4` inside | ||||
rhodecode.ini | ||||
- New setting about password recovery was introduced. Please make sure to | ||||
adjust what ever default you want to have inside your instance. The default | ||||
is that password recovery is enabled. | ||||
