SYNOPSIS
Changes between SVN::Web versions.
DESCRIPTION
This is a list of the main changes between different versions of SVN::Web. Please see
UPDATING.pod for details about any changes you may need to make when updating an SVN::Web
installation.
0.63, released Oct 17, 2012
• More improvements to UTF8 handling graciously contributed by Vladimir Timofeev
0.62, released Oct 10, 2012
• Updated psgi file, for some reason I regressed it.
• A variety of fixes, notably huge improvements to UTF8 handling graciously contributed
by Vladimir Timofeev and diff output fixes
0.61, released Jun 11, 2012
• Template fixes for RT48416
• RT24507 closed as the stand alone server was removed in favor of Plack.
• RT39707 closed as many perl SVN related issues were resolved elsewhere
• Included patch from RT32041 to authenticate to https
0.60, released Jun 7, 2012
• Pulled out mod_perl1/2 and cgi, replaced with Plack. This probably broke lots of
things.
• Changed to using Dist::Zilla with MakeMaker (due to .po issues with Module::Build)
• DAGOLDEN recommends using Alien::SVN as dependency, rather than SVN::Core, SVN::Client
and SVN::Ra. This is because the SVN perl modules are not published to CPAN.
• Merged patch from rt26159
0.54, never released
• Fix for RT35186, to make 'selected' compliant with XHTML
• Fix for RT37388, by Vladimir Timofeev
0.53, released Apr 29, 2007
• Change how path's are encoded, to work around new strictness in Template Toolkit's
"uri" filter. SVN::Web now works with versions of TT > 2.15.
• Adjust t/timedate-format.t to work correctly in non-English locales. Fixes rt#25435,
reported by "ema_zep@libero.it".
0.52, released Jan 22, 2007
• Belatedly update the SVN::Web installation to note that Subversion 1.4.0 or above is
now required to use SVN::Web.
0.51, released Jan 15, 2007
• "reposparent" functionality was inadvertently broken in 0.50. This release fixes
that. This was rt#24377 reported by Christoph Buescher
<Christoph.Buescher@fiducia.de>.
0.50, released Jan 12, 2007
• SVN::Web now supports accessing repositories that are not on the same host as the
SVN::Web installation. Repositories can be accessed using the file:///, http://, and
svn:// protocols.
• A mechanism for configuring which actions are available on each page has been
introduced. See "Action menu configuration" in SVN::Web for more.
• A new action, SVN::Web::Blame has been introduced. This generates output that shows
the Subversion annotation/blame information for a file.
• Diff output (from SVN::Web::Diff and SVN::Web::Revision) is now generated by
Subversion, rather than SVN::Web. This makes diff generation much faster, and much
less memory intensive. However, it has meant that the context option is no longer
available.
There are several small tweaks to the diff and revision output.
• Refactoring and rewriting has meant that Digest::MD5, Text::Diff, and Text::Diff::HTML
are no longer prequisites.
• A bug has been fixed in RSS generation. The contents of the <description> element are
now wrapped in CDATA markers to ensure that any embedded markup is preserved.
• There is now support for keeping localisation files in arbitrary directories,
configured by the "language_dirs" configuration option. This makes it simpler to
maintain your own localisation files outside of SVN::Web, and makes it easier to
integrate third party actions in to an SVN::Web installation.
See "Languages" in SVN::Web and SVN::Web::I18N for more details.
• The Template::Toolkit "log_msg" meta-filter has been replaced with a Template::Toolkit
MACRO, defined in _log_msg. The effect is the same, but this approach affords more
flexibility (e.g., having different log message filters per repository).
• The log template now supports rudimentary 'paging' through the log messages. Proper
paging support requires new functionality in Subversion. Selecting the number of log
messages to show per page is also more straightforward.
• SVN::Web::Revision supports a "max_diff_size" configuration option to cope with
revisions which may generate huge diffs.
• The configuration file (config.yaml) must contain a "version" key, otherwise a fatal
error is generated.
• Most extraneous whitespace is now removed from the templates when output is being
produced.
• Documentation bug rt#22282, reported by Andrew Sterling Hanenkamp
<sterling@hanenkamp.com>, has been fixed.
0.49, released Aug 23, 2006
• SVN::Web now properly supports Apache 2 / mod_perl 2. In addition, the test suite
contains tests that work under Apache 2, and ensure that future changes should not
introduce regressions in this functionality.
• File::Spec is now used when constructing filesystem paths, instead of assuming that
the directory separator is /. This should allow the use of native paths on Windows,
e.g. C:\path\to\svnweb.
• A bug in the mod_perl handler meant that the [% script %] directive wasn't generating
fully qualified links. This resulted in links in the RSS feed being relative. This
is now fixed. Reported by Dietrich Streifert <dietrich.streifert@visionet.de>.
• When testing the generated httpd.conf includes an explicit "ServerName" directive,
removing a warning on some hosts. Reported in rt#20170 by <fiajro@cy.ath.cx>.
• Set permissions on the temporary directories when running tests as root. Otherwise
they fail. Reported in rt#20170 by <fiajro@cy.ath.cx>.
• Fix a bug encounted on Solaris. SVN::Core::time_from_cstring() was returning negative
numbers.
• The questions that are asked when running "perl Build.PL" can now be answered and/or
skipped by passing command line options to Build.PL. Run "perldoc Build.PL" for the
documentation options.
• Paths to Apache modules are no longer hardcoded in conf/httpd.tt. "apxs" is used to
retrieve the value of the Apache library directory. In addition, the name of the
mod_perl .so file is now configurable, as different systems call it different things.
• Included documentation on using SVN::Web with the IIS web server. Submitted by Tom
Hukins <tom@eborcom.com> in rt#20341.
• A bug in the author's testing environment meant that 0.48 shipped with templates that
generated HTML that was not strictly valid. This, and the templates, have been fixed.
0.48, released Jun 28, 2006
• The interface localisation can now be selected. The interface has always been
localised, but the mechanism for choosing it has been badly exposed. SVN::Web now
supports two configuration options ("languages" and "default_language") to specify the
language selection.
In addition, the available configured languages are also exposed through the ("trac")
user interface, and the user can choose from the list of available localisation.
Their choice is saved in a cookie.
• Generation of RSS feeds is now done using a template, instead of using XML::RSS. This
removes a dependency on XML:RSS, and should make it easier to customise the content of
the RSS feed should you desire.
This fixes rt#18169, reported by Mike Ellery <mikee@s2technologies.com>.
• RSS feeds are now autodiscoverable in modern browsers.
• The formatting of timestamps is now configurable using "strftime" in POSIX. You can
choose how timestamps are formatted, and they can be displayed in UTC (the Subversion
default), the server's local timezone, or the timezone of your choice. See "Time and
date formatting" in SVN::Web for details.
This fixes rt#18806, reported by Mike Ellery <mikee@s2technologies.com>.
• Worked around a bug in Subversion where repository paths that were specified with a
tailing slash would trigger an assertion. This fixes rt#19273, reported by Michael
Schwern <MSCHWERN@cpan.org>.
• Fixed a bug where the "directory_umask" cache backend option was not being treated as
an octal number. This fixes rt#19272, reported by Michael Schwern
<MSCHWERN@cpan.org>.
• The SVN::Web::Revision action now show's the repository's youngest revision if no
"rev" parameter is provided.
• Fixed a bug in SVN::Web::Revision. Revisions that contain files that were copied from
another file, modified, and then committed will now be displayed properly instead of
generating an error.
• The documentation for SVN::Web includes an example configuration for Apache and
FastCGI, contributed by Robert Spier <rspier@pobox.com>.
• Made extensive changes to the test suite. Include tests that exercise SVN::Web when
running under "svnweb-server", as a CGI script, and as an Apache mod_perl1 handler.
These tests are optional -- the installer is prompted at "perl Build.PL" time whether
to run these tests, and to provide the information the tests need (such as the port to
run on).
0.47, released May 6, 2006
• Implement support for caching the results of the actions, using any of the
Cache::Cache family of modules. In tests (see t/benchmark.t) this can yield a 20% or
greater speed benefit. See "Data cache" in SVN::Web for details of how to enable the
cache and configure cache related options.
• Support Subversion repo directories and files that have spaces or other characters
that should be URI escaped in their names. Fixes rt#19093, reported by
<gbloice@gmail.com>.
• Commented out the references to Template::Plugin::Clickable and
Template::Plugin::Clickable::Email in the config file that is generated by
"svnweb-install". This stops log files filling up with warnings if they're not
present. The lines remain, commented out, as a suggestion for users.
• Improved the modperl2 support, fixing rt#19004, rt#18437, and rt#18346 (Garrison
Hoffman <garrison@codefix.net>, <cpan@rickster.com>, Thomas Nagel
<me@thomasnagel.com>).
0.46, released Mar 9, 2006
• Fixed a bug in "svnweb-server". The CGI module is now always used when running under
this server, instead of CGI::Fast. This should fix problems if you are trying to use
"svnweb-server" on a host with CGI::Fast installed.
0.45, released Mar 8, 2006
• Fixed a bug that broke mod_perl support.
0.44, released Mar 8, 2006
• When browsing the repository the trac templates now include age of the file, expressed
as {seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years} since the file was last
modified.
• The "revision", "log", "view", and "rss" actions are much more conservative with
memory when processing commits that changed a large number of files. Fixes rt#17359,
reported by Dietrich Streifert <dietrich.streifert@visionet.de>.
• Included support for running under mod_perl2 as well as mod_perl1. Fixes rt#17085 and
rt#17350. Based on a patch from Garrison Hoffman <garrison@codefix.net>.
• Fixed a bug when running under mod_perl -- the HTTP headers were not being sent. Some
browsers could cope with this, others just displayed the raw HTML. Reported by
Dominic Mitchell <dom@happygiraffe.net>.
• Entering a revision number that does not exist will now generate a localised error
message. Fixes rt#17822, reported by <gk5885@kickstyle.net>
• The SVN::Web::Revision action will now not show diffs between file revisions if either
revision of the file has a non-text MIME type. Fixes rt#17625, reported by Mike
Ellery <mikee@s2technologies.com>.
• Fixed some bugs in "svnweb-server". Option parsing works properly, fixing rt#17347
(reported by <miyagawa@cpan.org>) and the "--net-server" option is now honoured.
• "svnweb-install" should now work if any directories in the install path contain regexp
metacharacters in the filename. Fixes rt#17282, reported by <CORION@cpan.org>. It
also emits warnings if copying files or making directories during the install process
fails, fixing rt#17283.
0.43, released Jan 25, 2006
• Fix a syntax error in the config file generated by svnweb-install.
• Fix the instructions and code for running under mod_perl.
• When viewing an HTML diff, include a link to the plain text equivalent.
• Showing diffs when viewing a revision is now optional, but defaults to on.
• Require Exception::Class 1.22 or above. Versions below lack the necessary "caught()"
syntax.
• Improve the installation and configuration documentation.
• Include "svnweb-server", a simple web server to make it easier for people to get
started with SVN::Web.
0.42, released Dec 16, 2005
• Throw exceptions instead of die()ing on almost all errors. Catch the exceptions and
generate much friendlier error messages. Error messages are now easy to localise.
• When viewing a diff, the trac templates show the two revision numbers being compared,
and include a link allowing the user to reverse the order of the diff.
• The syntax for specifying permitted actions, and the classes that implement them, has
changed. See UPDATING for more information. This mechanism also allows for easy
configuration of per-action options.
• A (partial) French localisation has been supplied by Cyril Brulebois.
• Any "svn:externals" properties that are set on a directory are now shown when browsing
that directory.
• When viewing a file's revision log, you can now select two arbitrary revisions and get
a diff showing the changes between those revisions. Fixes rt#15813.
• If you only have one repository configured then the "list" action can be configured to
immediately redirect to browsing that repository, saving the user from having to click
through an intermediate page. See SVN::Web::List for more information.
0.41, released Nov 4, 2005
• Introduce a [% base_uri %] variable so templates can refer to files relative to the
directory that "svnweb-install" was run in. Fix a hardcoded reference to my home
directory in a template.
• Update some of the packaging files, which were out of date.
0.40, released Nov 4, 2005
• Maintainership handed from Chia-ling Kao to Nik Clayton.
• Overhauled the templates, so the out-of-the-box experience is much nicer.
• Add a "view" action that shows the contents of a file, along with the most recent log
message.
• More customisation options, making it easier to add or remove actions from the list of
things that SVN::Web is allowed to do.
• Added huge swathes of information to the documentation. It should now be much easier
for anyone else to contribute code and/or templates to SVN::Web.
• A fix for rt#12431. URLs without trailing slashes are fixed.
• A mechanism to 'stack' Template Toolkit filters. You can easily run log messages
through an arbitrary number of filters, without causing problems if one or more of the
filters is not installed.
• Inline display of some content from the repository where appropriate (e.g., viewing an
image works properly).
• Fixed a bug that meant the results from the automated tests weren't valid. Fixed the
bugs that this uncovered.
• Added tests to ensure that the generated HTML is valid.
