Changes for version 0.42

  • =over
  • =item
  • 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.
  • =item
  • When viewing a diff, the I<trac> templates show the two revision numbers being compared, and include a link allowing the user to reverse the order of the diff.
  • =item
  • The syntax for specifying permitted actions, and the classes that implement them, has changed. See L<UPDATING> for more information. This mechanism also allows for easy configuration of per-action options.
  • =item
  • A (partial) French localisation has been suppled by Cyril Brulebois.
  • =item
  • Any C<svn:externals> properties that are set on a directory are now shown when browsing that directory.
  • =item
  • 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.
  • =item
  • If you only have one repository configured then the C<list> action can be configured to immediately redirect to browsing that repository, saving the user from having to click through an intermediate page. See L<SVN::Web::List> for more information.
  • =back
  • =head2 0.41, released Nov 4, 2005
  • =over
  • =item
  • Introduce a [% base_uri %] variable so templates can refer to files relative to the directory that C<svnweb-install> was run in. Fix a hardcoded reference to my home directory in a template.
  • =item
  • Update some of the packaging files, which were out of date.
  • =back
  • =head2 0.40, released Nov 4, 2005
  • =over
  • =item
  • Maintainership handed from Chia-ling Kao to Nik Clayton.
  • =item
  • Overhauled the templates, so the out-of-the-box experience is much nicer.
  • =item
  • Add a C<view> action that shows the contents of a file, along with the most recent log message.
  • =item
  • More customisation options, making it easier to add or remove actions from the list of things that SVN::Web is allowed to do.
  • =item
  • 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.
  • =item
  • A fix for rt#12431. URLs without trailing slashes are fixed.
  • =item
  • 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.
  • =item
  • Inline display of some content from the repository where appropriate (e.g., viewing an image works properly).
  • =item
  • Fixed a bug that meant the results from the automated tests weren't valid. Fixed the bugs that this uncovered.
  • =item
  • Added tests to ensure that the generated HTML is valid.
  • =back
