SVN-Web-0.47

Changes for version 0.47

=over
=item
Implement support for caching the results of the actions, using any of the L<Cache::Cache> family of modules. In tests (see F<t/benchmark.t>) this can yield a 20% or greater speed benefit. See L<SVN::Web/"Data cache"> for details of how to enable the cache and configure cache related options.
=item
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>.
=item
Commented out the references to L<Template::Plugin::Clickable> and L<Template::Plugin::Clickable::Email> in the config file that is generated by C<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.
=item
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>).
=back
=head2 0.46, released Mar 9, 2006
=over
=item
Fixed a bug in C<svnweb-server>. The L<CGI> module is now always used when running under this server, instead of L<CGI::Fast>. This should fix problems if you are trying to use C<svnweb-server> on a host with L<CGI::Fast> installed.
=back
=head2 0.45, released Mar 8, 2006
=over
=item
Fixed a bug that broke mod_perl support.
=back
=head2 0.44, released Mar 8, 2006
=over
=item
When browsing the repository the F<trac> templates now include age of the file, expressed as {seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years} since the file was last modified.
=item
The C<revision>, C<log>, C<view>, and C<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>.
=item
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>.
=item
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>.
=item
Entering a revision number that does not exist will now generate a localised error message. Fixes rt#17822, reported by <gk5885@kickstyle.net>
=item
The L<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>.
=item
Fixed some bugs in C<svnweb-server>. Option parsing works properly, fixing rt#17347 (reported by <miyagawa@cpan.org>) and the C<--net-server> option is now honoured.
=item
C<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.
=back
=head2 0.43, released Jan 25, 2006
=over
=item
Fix a syntax error in the config file generated by svnweb-install.
=item
Fix the instructions and code for running under mod_perl.
=item
When viewing an HTML diff, include a link to the plain text equivalent.
=item
Showing diffs when viewing a revision is now optional, but defaults to on.
=item
Require Exception::Class 1.22 or above. Versions below lack the necessary C<caught()> syntax.
=item
Improve the installation and configuration documentation.
=item
Include C<svnweb-server>, a simple web server to make it easier for people to get started with SVN::Web.
=back
=head2 0.42, released Dec 16, 2005
=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 supplied 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.
