NAME

       UPDATING

SYNOPSIS

       Notes on updating from previous versions of SVN::Web

WARNING

       This is out of date for 0.60

DESCRIPTION

       If you have not modified the supplied template files the update can be carried out by:

       1.  Backing up your existing config.yaml file.

       2.  Removing all the files in your current "svnweb" directory.

       3.  Running "svnweb-install" from this distribution.  This will copy the new templates, as
           well as creating a new config.yaml.

       4.  Restoring the config.yaml that you backed up in step 1, and making any changes, as
           described below.

       If you have made local modifications then the following information should help you merge
       the changes in this version in to your modified files.

   0.52 to 0.53
       •   Update the "version" key in your configuration file to 0.53.

       •   Subversion paths are now escaped by SVN::Web before being passed to the templates,
           resulting in a change to every template that contains a path.  In general, this means
           that where previously you would write:

             [% path | uri | html %]

           in a template, now you can just write

             [% path %]

           If you do not re-run "svnweb-install" when you upgrade to this version you must update
           the templates by hand.

   0.51 to 0.52
       •   Update the "version" key in your configuration file to 0.52.

   0.50 to 0.51
       •   Update the "version" key in your configuration file to 0.51.

   0.49 to 0.50
       •   The configuration file must now contain a "version" key, the value of which must match
           the SVN::Web version.  If it is not present, or does not match, SVN::Web will "die()",
           and generate an appropriate error in the logs.

           Add this line:

             version: 0.50

           to config.yaml, after making sure that you have updated the configuration file to
           contain all the necessary new directives.

       •   There are many new configuration options for actions.  Either run "svnweb-install", as
           advised above, or view the documentation for each action, which has been updated to
           show the new entries that should be placed in config.yaml for the action.

           This change has also affected all the action templates save for list and rss.  There
           is a new Template/trac/_action_menu template.

       •   SVN::Web::Blame has been added, with an associated Template/trac/blame template.

       •   Diff generation has changed, resulting in changes to Template/trac/diff and
           Template/trac/revision.  There is a new Template/trac/_diff template.

       •   The Template/trac/log template has changed to support paging through results and
           changing how many results are displayed per page.

       •   The Template/trac/rss template has changed to wrap the contents of the <description>
           element in a CDATA marker.

       •   The I18N/en.po localisation file contains several new and updated entries.

   0.48 to 0.49Template/trac/header, Template/trac/browse, Template/trac/log, Template/trav/view, and
           Style/trac/browser.css have been updated for HTML compliance.

       •   Template/trac/diff no longer uses the CGI module to retrieve the current URL.

   0.47 to 0.48I18N/fr.po has a small update.  The diff is at
           <http://jc.ngo.org.uk/svnweb/jc/diff/nik/CPAN/SVN-Web/trunk/lib/SVN/Web/I18N/fr.po?rev1=958;rev2=959>.

       •   I18N/en.po has a small update.  The diff is at
           <http://jc.ngo.org.uk/svnweb/jc/diff/nik/CPAN/SVN-Web/trunk/lib/SVN/Web/I18N/en.po?rev1=972;rev2=973>.

       •   I18N/zh_cn.po has a small update.  The diff is at
           <http://jc.ngo.org.uk/svnweb/jc/diff/nik/CPAN/SVN-Web/trunk/lib/SVN/Web/I18N/zh_cn.po?rev1=898;rev2=899>.

       •   There have been several changes to the templates to support new RSS feeds and the new
           timedate formatting options.

           The diffs are:

           trac/browse
               <http://jc.ngo.org.uk/svnweb/jc/diff/nik/CPAN/SVN-Web/trunk/lib/SVN/Web/Template/trac/browse?revs=977&revs=881>

           In addition, there is a new trac/rss template, and a new
           Style/trac/feed-icon-16x16.png, both of which must be copied in to place.

       •   Style/trac/browser.css contains changes to support the new language selection box.
           The diff is at
           <http://jc.ngo.org.uk/svnweb/jc/diff/nik/CPAN/SVN-Web/trunk/lib/SVN/Web/Style/trac/browser.css?rev1=958;rev2=959>.

   0.46 to 0.47I18N/en.po contains changes relating to caching and bug fixes.  The diffs for these
           changes are at
           <http://jc.ngo.org.uk/svnweb/jc/diff/nik/CPAN/SVN-Web/trunk/lib/SVN/Web/I18N/en.po?rev1=863;rev2=864>
           and
           <http://jc.ngo.org.uk/svnweb/jc/diff/nik/CPAN/SVN-Web/trunk/lib/SVN/Web/I18N/en.po?rev1=879;rev2=880>.

       •   All of the trac/ templates have been updated to URI escape paths and filenames in
           appropriate places.  The revisions showing these changes are
           <http://jc.ngo.org.uk/svnweb/jc/revision/?rev=879> and
           <http://jc.ngo.org.uk/svnweb/jc/revision/?rev=881>.

       •   trac/header and trac/log have been updated to use the "at_head" variable.  The
           revision with the change is <http://jc.ngo.org.uk/svnweb/jc/revision/?rev=871>.

   0.45 to 0.46
       This was a bug fix release, with no changes to the templates, localisation, or
       configuration files.

   0.44 to 0.45
       This was a bug fix release, with no changes to the templates, localisation, or
       configuration files.

   0.43 to 0.44
       If you have not modified the supplied templates and localisation files the update can be
       carried out by:

       1.  Backing up your existing config.yaml file.

       2.  Removing all the files in your current "svnweb" directory.

       3.  Running "svnweb-install" from this distribution.  This will copy the new templates and
           localisation files, as well as creating a new config.yaml.

       4.  Restoring the config.yaml that you backed up in step 1.

       If you have made local modifications then the following information should help you merge
       the changes in this version in to your modified files.

       •   The trac/log template has been changed to remove some output from comments.  Although
           this output was never seen, generating it used CPU and memory.  This was especially
           apparent on changes that affected many files.  Using the new trac/log template (or
           merging the change in by hand) will speed up log browsing.

           The diff for these changes is at <http://jc.ngo.org.uk/svnweb/jc/revision/?rev=793>.

       •   I18N/en.po has been updated with a new error message when an invalid revision number
           is specified.

           The diff for these changes is at
           <http://jc.ngo.org.uk/svnweb/jc/diff/nik/CPAN/SVN-Web/trunk/lib/SVN/Web/I18N/en.po?revs=794&revs=788>.

       •   I18N/en.po and trac/browse have been updated to show a file's age, relative to the
           last commit that affected it.

           The diffs for these changes are at
           <http://jc.ngo.org.uk/svnweb/jc/diff/nik/CPAN/SVN-Web/trunk/lib/SVN/Web/I18N/en.po?revs=788&revs=719>
           and
           <http://jc.ngo.org.uk/svnweb/jc/diff/nik/CPAN/SVN-Web/trunk/lib/SVN/Web/Template/trac/browse?revs=788&revs=553>.

   0.42 to 0.43
       •   The en.po localisation file and diff template have been changed to support viewing
           plain text diffs.  Either copy the supplied files over your copies, or merge the
           changes in by hand if you are using your own templates.

           The diff for these changes is at <http://jc.ngo.org.uk/svnweb/jc/revision/?rev=719>.

       •   SVN::Web::Revision has a new option controlling whether or not diffs are shown when
           viewing a revision.  To support it the revision template has changed.  Either copy the
           supplied template over your copy, or merge the changes by hand if you are using your
           own template.

           The diff for this change is at <http://jc.ngo.org.uk/svnweb/jc/revision?rev=721>.

       •   The templates trac/trac.css and trac/code.css have been changed to remove references
           to images that are not shipped in this distribution.  This will stop web browsers
           requesting them, and keeps "svnweb-server" quiet.  It's not essential that you update
           your copies accordingly, but it doesn't hurt either.

           The diff for this change is at <http://jc.ngo.org.uk/svnweb/jc/revision?rev=764>.

   0.41 to 0.42
       •   The format for specifying actions in the configuration file has changed.  In addition,
           there are no longer any default actions -- any actions not specified in the
           configuration file will be ignored.

           To retain existing functionality you must ensure that the following appears in
           config.yaml.

             actions:
               browse:
                 class: SVN::Web::Browse
               checkout:
                 class: SVN::Web::Checkout
               diff:
                 class: SVN::Web::Diff
               list:
                 class: SVN::Web::List
               log:
                 class: SVN::Web::Log
               revision:
                 class: SVN::Web::Revision
               rss:
                 class: SVN::Web::RSS
               view:
                 class: SVN::Web::View

       •   There have been several changes to the trac templates.  If you have made any local
           modifications then you will need to merge your changes in to the new templates.

       •   Use of the "templatedir" configuration directive is now deprecated.  You should use
           "templatedirs" instead.  This is to support third party actions that supply their own
           templates in different directories.

           "templatedir" in the configuration file will continue to work, but you should change
           existing entries of the form:

             templatedir: '/path/to/directory'

           to this form:

             templatedirs:
               - '/path/to/directory'

           A configuration file that specifies both "templatedir" and "templatedirs" will
           generate an exception when anyone browses the repository.

   0.40 to 0.41
       After installing the new module you should copy lib/Templates/trac/header to
       <dir>/template/trac/header, where <dir> is the directory in which you ran
       "svnweb-install".

   Anything < 0.40 to 0.40
       The 0.40 release includes sweeping changes to the templates, as well as additional
       functionality and configuration directives.  See CHANGES for details.

       The simplest approach is to backup your existing config.yaml and then re-run
       "svnweb-install".  This will generate a new config.yaml and copy over the new templates
       and other files.

       It should be easy to migrate your old configuration directives to the new configuration
       file.
