    • we now use order based on default system renderer

New Features

  • Integrations: created new event based integration framework. Allows to configure global, or per repo: Slack, hipchat, webhook integrations. This also deprecated usage of rcextensions.
  • Integrations: added smart commits for Jira and Redmine with ability to map keywords into issue tracker actions. Fixes #123, Closes #123 etc.
  • Markdown: added improved support for Github flavored markdown.
  • Labs: enable labs setting by default. Labs are new experimental features in RhodeCode that can be used to test new upcomming features.
  • Api: Add api methods to get/set repository settings, implements #4021.
  • Gravatars: commit emails are now displayed based on the actual email used inside commit rather then the main one of associated account inside RhodeCode, #4037.
  • Emails: All emails got new styling. They look now consistent to UI of application. We also added bunch of usefull information into email body, #4087.
  • Pull requests: add show/hide comment functionality inside diffs, #4106.
  • Notifications: added real-time notifications with via channelstream about new comments when reviewing the code. Never miss someone replies onto comments you submitted while doing a code-review.

Security

  • Api: make comment_commits api call have consistent permissions with web interface.
  • Files: fixes display of "Add File" button missing or present despite permissions, because of cached version of the page was rendered, fixes #4083.
  • Login/Registration: fixed flash message problem on login/registration pages, fixes #4043.
  • Auth-token: allow other authentication types to use auth-token. Accounts associated with other types like LDAP, or PAM can now use auth-tokens to authenticate via RhodeCode.

Performance

  • Core: made all RhodeCode components gevent compatible. RhodeCode can now make use of async workers. You can handle dozens of concurrent operations using a single worker. This works only with new HTTP backend.
  • Core: added new very efficient HTTP backend can be used to replace pyro4.
  • Core: Set 'gzip_responses' to false by default. We no longer require any gzip computations on backed, thus speeding up large file transfers.
  • UI: optimized events system for JavaScript to boost performance on large html pages.
  • VCS: moved VCSMiddleware up to pyramid layer as wrapper around pylons app. Skips few calls, and allows slightly faster clones/pulls and pushes.

Fixes

  • VCS: add vcsserver cache invalidation to mercurial backend. Fixes multi-process problems after Mercurial 3.8.X release with server side merges.
  • VCS: clear caches on remap-and-rescan option.
  • VCS: improved logic of updating commit caches in cases of rebases.
  • Caches: Add an argument to make the cache context thread scoped. Brings support to gevent compatible handling.
  • Diff2way: fixed unicode problem on non-ascii files.
  • Full text search: whoosh schema uses now bigger ints, fixes #4035
  • File-browser: optimized cached tree calculation, reduced load times by 50% on complex file trees.
  • Styling: #4086 fixing bug where long commit messages did not wrap in file view.
  • SVN: Ignore the content length header from response, fixes #4112. Fixes the "svn: E120106: ra_serf: The server sent a truncated HTTP response body."
