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/<pull_request_id>.
• 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: 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.
