|RCE| 3.8.0 |RNS| ----------------- Release Date ^^^^^^^^^^^^ - 2016-02-10 Authentication ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - Mercurial: Added an option to avoid a loop when the password is wrong during VCS operations. This prevents accounts in external systems being locked due to too many login attempts from Mercurial. See the :ref:`hg-auth-loop` section for more details. - Auth: Speed improvements in the permission calculation of API calls. API ^^^ - Added a new method, `update_pull_request`, which allows users to update a pull request using the API. Deprecation ^^^^^^^^^^^ - Support for Internet Explorer 9 ends with this release. Pull Requests ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - Added functionality that now automatically fills the title and description fields based on the forks or branches involved, and the commit messages. - Added a new URL endpoint which redirects to the pull request page for a given pull request ID. This is intended to support automation of specific work flows. The URL is ``/pull_requests/``. - Removed the :guilabel:`Close Pull Request` button. This functionality is still available in the status drop-down menu below the comment box. - Improved the merge logic so that merges on the same branch are possible even if the reference type is not a branch, e.g. bookmark, tag, or a raw commit ID. - Escaped the description field to prevent potential XSS attacks. UI/UX ^^^^^ **D** - Diff: Fixed display issues around side-by-side diffs. - Diff: The side-by-side diff has been enhanced. Small arrows now allow you to jump to the next or previous change, and an editor mode is available as a helper for complex diffs. **F** - Files: Allow users to add empty files through the web interface. - Files: Do not prompt users without write permissions to add files to an empty repository. - Files: Prevent submitting multiple times when editing a file. - Files: Render files with the extension :file:`.txt` as plain text. - Files: Use the correct file name extension for markdown files. **J** - Journal: Fixed display issues in the admin journal. - Journal: Improved the display of query examples for the search feature. **L** - License: The amount of active users is now shown on the license page and provides the ability to disable users in bulk mode. **R** - Repository group: The buttons to add a repository or a repository group are now displayed only if the user has those permissions for the current repository group. - Repository: A more informative message is now displayed in case a Mercurial repository depends on the *largefiles* extension, but this extension is not enabled. - Repository: Fixed the loading of the commit summary to avoid an additional page reload. **S** - Style: The text alignment around the settings area was improved. - Style: IE10 no longer shows a wrong background color in the select widgets. - Style: Small corrections in the navigation around the :guilabel:`My Account` menu. - Style: Consistent display of user names in tabular lists of repositories and repository groups. - Style: Adjust the help text around the gravatar in the profile page. - Style: Added consistent use of the term *Commit* instead of a mix of *Changeset* and *Revision*. - Style: Restrict the value for custom branding to 40 characters. - Style: Consistent rendering of markdown content. - Subversion: Display the clone URL as read only and show a detailed help message for Subversion repositories if the HTTP proxy for write access is not enabled. Logging ^^^^^^^ - Logging: Added logging details about the added and removed users when a user group is updated. - Logging: Removed excessive error logging when detecting the server address. - Logging: Improvements to avoid an early import of Pyro4, this is important for advanced setups using asynchronous workers. VCS Server ^^^^^^^^^^ - VCS Server: Keep the remote traceback in case of a remote exception. This results in more precise information in the log files and helps to track down problems easier. - VCS Server: Only write a PID file if requested via the command line. - VCS Server: Explicitly close file descriptors for Git based operations to avoid a potential leak of file descriptors. General ^^^^^^^ **A** - Admin: Fixed a bug that disallowed admins from deleting users which had entries in the IP whitelist. **C** - Compare: Return a **404 Not Found** when comparing a missing commit. This makes it consistent with the unified diff. - Compare: Various fixes around the selection of the source and target commit. **G** - General: Allow admins to inject the initial API key in `setup_rhodecode`. This simplifies the bootstrapping of automated setups. - General: Added the ``pool_recycle`` option to the example :file:`.ini` file. - General: Updated `CodeMirror`_ to 5.4.0. - General: Speed improvements in multiple places which allow users to select a repository or a repository group. - Repository: Increase the maximum size for repository names and the clone URL to prevent problems in deeply nested structures. - General: Avoid invalid email addresses causing issues when rendering avatar images when external authentication modules are used. **R** - Repository: Enable the Mercurial *largefiles* extension during the run of *Remap & Rescan*. This detects *largefiles* repositories and adds them to the system. - Repository: Robust forking of Mercurial repositories which depend on the *largefiles* extension in cases where this extension is not globally enabled. - Repository: Made the query of very large commit sets more robust on MySQL. This affects cases when more than 500 commits are involved. **S** - Settings: Save the correct value when disabling *largefiles* for a repository. - Settings: Add misdirection to external links in the issue tracker settings. - Settings: Avoid a jumping lock button in the case of a validation error being displayed. - Settings: Speed up the repository settings by delaying the query for the fork selection element. .. _CodeMirror: https://codemirror.net/
