-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:
ReviewBoard: - New upstream release 1.5.6 - http://www.reviewboard.org/docs/releasenotes/dev/reviewboard/1.5.6/ - New Features: - The PATH environment variable is now shown in the error when patch.exe - can't be found, in order to help figure out where it needs to go - rb-site more clearly informs that an existing database with valid - permissions is needed for installation - rb-site now lists recommendations for different services, and lists - options that aren’t officially supported - Tabs in the diff viewer are now marked up, allowing custom stylesheets to - display them differently. By default, they don’t look any different - Added Fedora Hosted to the hosting provider options - Editing a field and then canceling it on a review request now prompts for - confirmation before discarding the new text - Control-S now saves the current text in review request fields - We now support storing lots of text in the Description and Testing Done - fields on MySQL - Performance Improvements: - Review Board now requires Pygments 1.4 or higher. Older installations - running older versions of Pygments should get a performance increase when - rendering diffs - Bug Fixes: - Using Review Board with wsgi without mod_python installed on the system no - longer prevents Review Board from breaking - Screenshot draft captions are now always displayed correctly. Previously, - only the main caption would display, making them appear blank on new - uploads - Changing screenshot draft captions now invalidates the cache, allowing - them to be seen when reloading the page - When sending an e-mail, we no longer crash if the sender has no e-mail - address - Caching really long files or diffs now works more consistently. - Previously, it was possible for the data to not be stored correctly - Fixed a date range calculation sometimes causing the log viewer to fail on - the first of the month - Failing to load the Review Board News feed in the administration UI due to - a proxy will no longer cause an HTTP 500 error to display - Invalid bug tracker URLs (those containing more than one %s, for example) - in the administration UI no longer breaks review requests - The Mercurial support no longer overrides the SSH client configuration if - one is already provided - The recaptcha_client dependency has been renamed to recaptcha-client. Both - technically work, but the former is more correct and makes packaging - easier - Fixed a few occasional errors that could show up on the dashboard under - certain conditions
RBTools: - New upstream 0.3.3 release - http://www.reviewboard.org/docs/releasenotes/dev/rbtools/0.3.3/ - Notable Changes: - Rewrote the Clear Case implementation to be cleaner, more maintainable, - and less buggy - New Features: - post-review: - Added --http-username and --http-password for providing defaults for - Basic HTTP Authentication - Clear Case: - Added proper support for --tracking-branch and --revision-range - Clear Case configuration has moved to .reviewboardrc - Git: - Added automatic parent diff determination when using --revision-range - Added support for working against bare repositories when using - revision-range - Enhanced --revision-range to take any valid Git revisions - Support --repository-url for overriding the git origin URL - Mercurial: - Added support for --guess-summary and --guess-description - Allow a single revision to be passed to --revision-range - Subversion: - Added support for --svn-changelist for specifying SVN changelists - Bug Fixes: - post-review: - Fixed authentication problems with some versions of Review Board - Clear Case: - The view is properly recognized - Removed the dependency on xargs and cygwin - Fixed breakages with binary files - Removed support for --label, which was useless - Running just post-review will now produce a working diff of checked - out files - Diffs generate properly now under Windows - The diffs no longer hard-code a fake date, but instead use the real - time/date of the file - Files that were renamed no longer breaks the diff. OID/UUIDs are used - instead of file paths - Fixed diff generation to use the diff program instead of hand-crafting - the diffs - Running with --revision-range with paths that don't exist no longer - produces unreadable IOException errors - Git: - Use real URLs when using git prefixes - Fixed compatibility with versions of Git older than 1.6 - Added compatibility with msysgit - The correct SVN remote tracking branch is now used for git-svn - repositories - Mercurial: - Fixed an error when posting inside a Mercurial branch - Perforce: - Fixed Review Board version detection when checking for Perforce - changeset support. This forced usage of the old API, preventing the new - API from being used, which prevented usage with Review Board 1.6 - Subversion: - Lines starting with --- and +++ in diffs that aren't diff control lines - no longer results in broken diffs --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
