Fixes #5614 + + +General +^^^^^^^ + +- Pull requests: fixed small UI glitches in pull request view. +- System Info: Python packages now expose the package location info. +- Exceptions: don't report lookup errors as exceptions stored in the exception store. + Those are regular not found problems that don't indicate any exceptional case + also make the errors report nicer, not as KeyError, or generic Exception +- Exception tracker: store request info if available to track which URL caused an error. +- Integrations: handle new commenting events and optimize calls for Jira/Redmine + Speed up issue fetching by optimizing how Jira/Redmine client behaves + For redmine we don't iterate issues anymore which is *much* faster, and makes pushes with tickets faster. +- SVN: allow to specify any svn compatible version string not only hardcoded values. + The new SVN code allows to specify this by numeric values now. e.g 1.13 etc. + Fixes #5605. +- Emails: added `premailer` parsing for inline style formatting to make emails render + nicer on all email clients. +- Repositories: switched repo type selector to radio buttons and preserve order of + enabled backends inside .ini files. +- Repositories: show recommendation for updating hooks if they are outdated. +- Files: add pre-commit checks on file edit/delete/add operations. This prevents + loosing content while editing when repositories changes during those operations. + Fixes #5607. +- Files: changed the copy path label to indicate we're actually copying only the path. + Added copy permalink helper to copy the url quickly. Fixes #5602 +- LDAP: updated ldap plugin to help with debug and support by extending logging and + improving error messages. +- LDAP: fixed example LDAPs port. +- Dependencies: bump redmine client. +- Dependencies: bumped bleach==3.1.3 +- Dependencies: bumped webtest==2.0.34 +- Dependencies: bumped packaging==20.3 +- Dependencies: bumped pyparsing==2.4.7 +- Dependencies: bumped sqlalchemy==1.3.15 +- Dependencies: bumped hupper==1.10.2 +- Dependencies: bumped alembic==1.4.2 +- Dependencies: bumped wcwidth==0.1.9 +- Dependencies: bumped python-ldap==3.2.0 +- Dependencies: bumped importlib-metadata==1.5.0 +- Dependencies: bumped redis==3.4.1 +- Dependencies: bumped importlib-metadata==1.6.0 +- Dependencies: bumped pytz==2019.3 +- Dependencies: bumped paste==3.4.0 +- Dependencies: bumped weberror==0.13.1 +- Dependencies: bumped pyparsing==2.4.6 +- Dependencies: bumped ipdb==0.13.2 +- Dependencies: bumped pastedeploy==2.1.0 +- Dependencies: bumped docutils==0.16.0 +- Dependencies: bumped pyramid-debugtoolbar==4.6.1 +- Dependencies: bumped gevent==1.5.0 +- Dependencies: bumped psutil==5.7.0 + + +Security +^^^^^^^^ + +- Logging: expose usernames in the logs for each request made to RhodeCode. + This enables auditing capabilities for all actions against the web interface. +- Users: increased security on the way we're displaying authentication tokens. + We don't expose all on single page. Request needs a validation before viewing of each token. +- Logging: added some nicer logging for file path ACL checks. +- Audit Log: extend the commit api data with references to commit_id or pull_request_id. + This allows tracking those in the audit-logs. + + +Performance +^^^^^^^^^^^ + +- Exception Tracker: optimized the check for smtp_server before doing heavy lifting + of exception email sending. +- Auth: enabled cache flags for fetching ACL ids. + Those are now safe to cache since we have a proper cache invalidation logic for + permissions of users, for lots of repo this makes our goto switcher much much faster. +- Application: use simpler way to extract default_user_id, this will be now registered + at server boot, reducing number of times we fetch this from database. +- Pull requests: changed reviewers metadata function for optimizing the diff calculations. + We're now doing a single request to calculate reviewers and diff preview instead of twice like before. + + +Fixes +^^^^^ + +- GIT: fixed readme searcher for Git repositories using libgit2 and non-ascii directories. +- Full text search: fixed error while highlighting special search terms e.g 'enabled \= ' +- Full text search: fixed problems with non-ascii files indexing. +- Diffs: improve text on unresolved comments attached to files that no longer exist in the review. + Fixes #5615. +- Auth: fixed generation of authomatic secrets for new plugins. +- Auth: failsafe github auth if it doesn't provide full name for users. +- Permissions: fixed problem with permissions changes from permission page due to missing cache flush. + This caused certain permission changed be visible after some time of the edit. + We now ensure *all* caches used for permissions are properly flushed right after the change. +- SVN: explicitly specify tunnel-user to properly map rhodecode username on svn commit + via SSH backend. Fixes #5608. +- SVN: fixed case of wrong extracted repository name for SSH backend. In cases + where we commit to a nested subdirs SVN reported the access path with the subdir paths in it. + We couldn't then match that extended name into proper rhodecode repository for ACL checks. + Current implementation gives an slight overhead as we have to lookup all repositories. + Fixes #5606 +- SVN: fixed problem with special characters inside subdirectories. +- SVN: fixed SVN refs switcher on files that used old format of diff url. Fixes #5599, #5610 +- Search: remove excessive quoting on search pagination. Fixes #5604 +- File browser: fixed the repo switcher `?at=` flag being lost when walking on the file tree. +- File browser: fixed unicode problems on image preview, and make images center, no-stretch. +- DB migrations: fixed db migrate for latest sqlite version. +- Feed generator: fixed missing utc definition that could cause server 500 error. + + +Upgrade notes +^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +- RhodeCode has been tested on CentOS/RHEL 8 and we added those as officially supported platforms. +- This release introduces lots of optimizations and changes how the pull requests reviewers, + and diff preview is made. We cut the pull request creation time by 50%. + Please look closer to this new logic na report any potential problems with this change. +- SVN was bumped to 1.13 version. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/docs/release-notes/release-notes.rst b/docs/release-notes/release-notes.rst --- a/docs/release-notes/release-notes.rst +++ b/docs/release-notes/release-notes.rst @@ -9,6 +9,7 @@ Release Notes .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 + release-notes-4.19.0.rst release-notes-4.18.3.rst release-notes-4.18.2.rst release-notes-4.18.1.rst
