New Features
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
- Artifacts: are no longer in BETA. New info page is available for uploaded artifacts
|
||||
which exposes some useful information like sha256, various access urls etc, and also
|
||||
allows deletion of artifacts, and updating their description.
|
||||
- Artifacts: support new download url based on access to artifacts using new auth-token types.
|
||||
- Artifacts: added ability to store artifacts using API, and internal cli upload.
|
||||
This allows uploading of artifacts that can have 100s of GBs in size efficiently.
|
||||
- Artifacts: added metadata logic to store various extra custom data for artifacts.
|
||||
- Comments: added support for adding comment attachments using the artifacts logic.
|
||||
Logged in users can now pick or drag and drop attachments into comment forms.
|
||||
- Comments: enable linkification of certain patterns on comments in repo/pull request scopes.
|
||||
This will render now active links to commits, pull-requests mentioned in comments body.
|
||||
- Jira: new update integration plugin.
|
||||
Plugin now fetches possible transitions from tickets and show them to users in the interface.
|
||||
Allow sending extra attributes during a transition like `resolution` message.
|
||||
- Navigation: Added new consistent and contextual way of creating new objects
|
||||
likes gists, repositories, and repository groups using dedicated action (with a `+` sign)
|
||||
available in the top navigation.
|
||||
- Hovercards: added new tooltips and hovercards to expose certain information for objects shown in UI.
|
||||
RhodeCode usernames, issues, pull-requests will have active hovercard logic that will
|
||||
load extra information about them and exposing them to users.
|
||||
- Files: all readme files found in repository file browser will be now rendered, allowing having readme per directory.
|
||||
- Search: expose line counts in search files information.
|
||||
- Audit-logs: expose download user audit logs as JSON file.
|
||||
- Users: added description field for users.
|
||||
Allows users to write a short BIO, or description of their role in the organization.
|
||||
- Users: allow super-admins to change bound authentication type for users.
|
||||
E.g internal rhodecode accounts can be changed to ldap easily from user settings page.
|
||||
- Pull requests: simplified the UI for display view, hide less important information and expose the most important ones.
|
||||
- Pull requests: add merge check that detects WIP marker in title.
|
||||
Usually WIP in title means unfinished task that needs still some work, such marker will prevent accidental merges.
|
||||
- Pull requests: TODO comments have now a dedicated box below reviewers to keep track
|
||||
of important TODOs that still need attention before review process is finalized.
|
||||
- Pull requests: participants of pull request will receive an email about update of a
|
||||
pull requests with a small summary of changes made.
|
||||
- Pull requests: change the naming from #NUM into !NUM.
|
||||
!NUM format is now parsed and linkified in comments and commit messages.
|
||||
- Pull requests: pull requests which state is changing can now be viewed with a limited view.
|
||||
- Pull requests: re-organize merge/close buttons and merge checks according to the new UI.
|
||||
- Pull requests: update commits button allows a force-refresh update now using dropdown option.
|
||||
- Pull requests: added quick filter to grid view to filter/search pull requests in a repository.
|
||||
- Pull requests: closing a pull-request without a merge requires additional confirmation now.
|
||||
- Pull requests: merge checks will now show which files caused conflicts and are blocking the merge.
|
||||
- Emails: updated all generated emails design and cleanup the data fields they expose.
|
||||
* more consistent UI for all types of emails
|
||||
* improved formatting of plaintext emails
|
||||
* emails: added reply link to comment type emails for quicker response action.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
General
|
||||
^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
- Artifacts: don't show hidden artifacts, allow showing them via a GET ?hidden=1 flag.
|
||||
Hidden artifacts are for example comment attachments.
|
||||
- UI: new commits page, according to the new design, which started on 4.17.X release lines
|
||||
- UI: use explicit named actions like "create user" instead of generic "save" which is bad UX.
|
||||
- UI: fixed problems with generating last change in repository groups.
|
||||
There's now a new logic that checks all objects inside group for latest update time.
|
||||
- API: add artifact `get_info`, and `store_metadata` methods.
|
||||
- API: allowed to specify extra recipients for pr/commit comments api methods.
|
||||
- Vcsserver: set file based cache as default for vcsserver which can be shared
|
||||
across multiple workers saving memory usage.
|
||||
- Vcsserver: added redis as possible cache backend for even greater performance.
|
||||
- Dependencies: bumped GIT version to 2.23.0
|
||||
- Dependencies: bumped SVN version to 1.12.2
|
||||
- Dependencies: bumped Mercurial version to 5.1.1 and hg-evolve to 9.1.0
|
||||
- Search: added logic for sorting ElasticSearch6 backend search results.
|
||||
- User bookmarks: make it easier to re-organize existing entries.
|
||||
- Data grids: hide pagination for single pages in grids.
|
||||
- Gists: UX, removed private/public gist buttons and replaced them with radio group.
|
||||
- Gunicorn: moved all configuration of gunicorn workers to .ini files.
|
||||
- Gunicorn: added worker memory management allowing setting maximum per-worker memory usage.
|
||||
- Automation: moved update groups task into celery task
|
||||
- Cache commits: add option to refresh caches manually from advanced pages.
|
||||
- Pull requests: add indication of state change in list of pull-requests and actually show them in the list.
|
||||
- Cache keys: register and self cleanup cache keys used for invalidation to prevent leaking lot of them into DB on worker recycle
|
||||
- Repo groups: removed locking inheritance flag from repo-groups. We'll deprecate this soon and this only brings in confusion
|
||||
- System snapshot: improved formatting for better readability
|
||||
- System info: expose data about vcsserver.
|
||||
- Packages: updated celery to 4.3.0 and switch default backend to redis instead of RabbitMQ.
|
||||
Redis is stable enough and easier to install. Having Redis simplifies the stack as it's used in other parts of RhodeCode.

|
||||
Security
|
||||
^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
- Security: fixed issues with exposing wrong http status (403) indicating repository with
|
||||
given name exists and we don't have permissions to it. This was exposed in the redirection
|
||||
logic of the global pull-request page. In case of redirection we also exposed
|
||||
repository name in the URL.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Performance
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
- Core: many various small improvements and optimizations to make rhodecode faster then before.
|
||||
- VCSServer: new cache implementation for remote functions.
|
||||
Single worker shared caches that can use redis/file-cache.
|
||||
This greatly improves performance on larger instances, and doesn't trigger cache
|
||||
re-calculation on worker restarts.
|
||||
- GIT: switched internal git operations from Dulwich to libgit2 in order to obtain better performance and scalability.
|
||||
- SSH: skip loading unneeded application parts for SSH to make execution of ssh commands faster.
|
||||
- Main page: main page will now load repositories and repositories groups using partial DB calls instead of big JSON files.
|
||||
In case of many repositories in root this could lead to very slow page rendering.
|
||||
- Admin pages: made all grids use same DB based partial loading logic. We'll no longer fetch
|
||||
all objects into JSON for display purposes. This significantly improves speed of those pages in case
|
||||
of many objects shown in them.
|
||||
- Summary page: use non-memory cache for readme, and cleanup cache for repo stats.
|
||||
This change won't re-cache after worker restarts and can be shared across all workers
|
||||
- Files: only check for git_lfs/hg_largefiles if they are enabled.
|
||||
This speeds up fetching of files if they are not LF and very big.
|
||||
- Vcsserver: added support for streaming data from the remote methods. This allows
|
||||
to stream very large files without taking up memory, mostly for usage in SVN when
|
||||
downloading large binaries from vcs system.
|
||||
- Files: added streaming remote attributes for vcsserver.
|
||||
This change enables streaming raw content or raw downloads of large files without
|
||||
transferring them over to enterprise for pack & repack using msgpack.
|
||||
Msgpack has a limit of 2gb and generally pack+repack for ~2gb is very slow.
|
||||
- Files: ensure over size limit files never do any content fetching when viewing such files.
|
||||
- VCSServer: skip host verification to speed up pycurl calls.
|
||||
- User-bookmarks: cache fetching of bookmarks since this is quite expensive query to
|
||||
make with joinedload on repos/repo groups.
|
||||
- Goto-switcher: reduce query data to only required attributes for speedups.
|
||||
- My account: owner/watched repos are now loaded only using DB queries.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Fixes
|
||||
^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
- Mercurial: move imports from top-level to prevent from loading mercurial code on hook execution for svn/git.
|
||||
- GIT: limit sync-fetch logic to only retrieve tags/ and heads/ with default execution arguments.
|
||||
- GIT: fixed issue with git submodules detection.
|
||||
- SVN: fix checkout url for ssh+svn backend not having special prefix resulting in incorrect command shown.
|
||||
- SVN: fixed problem with showing empty directories.
|
||||
- OAuth: use a vendored version of `authomatic` library, and switch Bitbucket authentication to use oauth2.
|
||||
- Diffs: handle paths with quotes in diffs.
|
||||
- Diffs: fixed outdated files in pull-requests re-using the filediff raw_id for anchor generation. Fixes #5567
|
||||
- Diffs: toggle race condition on sticky vs wide-diff-mode that caused some display problems on larger diffs.
|
||||
- Pull requests: handle exceptions in state change and improve logging.
|
||||
- Pull requests: fixed title/description generation for single commits which are numbers.
|
||||
- Pull requests: changed the source of changes to be using shadow repos if it exists.
|
||||
In case of `git push -f` and rebase we lost commits in the repo resulting in
|
||||
problems of displaying versions of pull-requests.
|
||||
- Pull requests: handle case when removing existing files from a repository in compare versions diff.
|
||||
- Files: don't expose copy content helper in case of binary files.
|
||||
- Registration: properly expose first_name/last_name into email on user registration.
|
||||
- Markup renderers: fixed broken code highlight for rst files.
|
||||
- Ui: make super admin be named consistently across ui.
|
||||
- Audit logs: fixed search cases with special chars such as `-`.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Upgrade notes
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
- New Automation task. We've changed the logic for updating latest change inside repository group.
|
||||
New logic includes scanning for changes in all nested objects. Since this is a heavy task
|
||||
a new dedicated scheduler task has been created to update it automatically on a scheduled base.
|
||||
Please review in `admin > settings > automation` to enable this task.
|
||||
|
||||
- New safer encryption algorithm. Some setting values are encrypted before storing it inside the database.
|
||||
To keep full backward compatibility old AES algorithm is used.
|
||||
If you wish to enable a safer option set fernet encryption instead inside rhodecode.ini
|
||||
`rhodecode.encrypted_values.algorithm = fernet`
|
||||
|
||||
- Pull requests UI changes. We've simplified the UI on pull requests page.
|
||||
Please review the new UI to prevent surprises. All actions from old UI should be still possible with the new one.
|
||||
|
||||
- Redis is now a default recommended backend for Celery and replaces previous rabbitmq.
|
||||
Redis is generally easier to manage and install, and it's also very stable for usage
|
||||
in the scheduler/celery async tasks. Since we also recommend Redis for caches the application
|
||||
stack can be simplified by removing rabbitmq and replacing it with single Redis instance.
|
||||
|
||||
- Recommendation for using Redis as the new cache backend on vcsserver.
|
||||
Since Version 4.18.0 VCSServer has a new cache implementation for VCS data.
|
||||
By default, for simplicity the cache type is file based. We strongly recommend using
|
||||
Redis instead for better Performance and scalability
|
||||
Please review vcsserver.ini settings under:
|
||||
`rc_cache.repo_object.backend = dogpile.cache.rc.redis_msgpack`
|
||||
|
||||
- New memory monitoring for Gunicorn workers. Starting from 4.18 release a option was added
|
||||
to limit the maximum amount of memory used by a worker.
|
||||
Please review new settings for memory management in both rhodecode.ini and vcsserver.ini:
|
||||
|
||||
; Maximum memory usage that each worker can use before it will receive a
|
||||
; graceful restart signal 0 = memory monitoring is disabled
|
||||
; Examples: 268435456 (256MB), 536870912 (512MB)
|
||||
; 1073741824 (1GB), 2147483648 (2GB), 4294967296 (4GB)
|
||||
memory_max_usage = 0
