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 + original author of changed source code. eg *.css -> design team. + 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 + the *_name parameter now takes full path including sub repository groups. + 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 + that are too long.
