New Features
|
|
------------
|
|
* Add cache for tag advertisements
|
|
+
|
|
When READ level access controls are used on references/branches, this
|
|
cache provides a massive performance boost. On some repositories,
|
|
no-op Git client requests can go from 7.910s to 0.550s. Since all
|
|
of the time reduction is server CPU, this is a major performance
|
|
improvement for busy servers.
|
|
|
|
* Substantially speed up pushing changes for review
|
|
+
|
|
Pushing changes to big projects was very slow, for similar issues
|
|
as the READ level access controls. Push checks have been improved,
|
|
reducing the amount of server CPU required to validate a push for
|
|
review is connected to the branch its intended for.
|
|
|
|
* Avoid costly findMergedInto during push to refs/for/*
|
|
+
|
|
Checking to see if a new commit uploaded for review has already been
|
|
merged into a branch turns out to be expensive, and not very useful.
|
|
Since the commit is brand new to the server, it cannot possibly ever
|
|
have been merged. Skip the merge check to get a major performance
|
|
improvement on upload to big projects.
|
|
|
|
* Allow serving static files in subdirectories
|
|
+
|
|
The /static/ subdirectory can now serve static files contained within
|
|
subdirectories. This change also patches the code to perform better
|
|
checks to ensure the requested URL is actually in the subdirectory.
|
|
These additional checks are only relevant on Windows servers, where
|
|
MS-DOS compatibility may have permitted access to special device
|
|
files in any directory, rather than just the "\\.\" device namespace.
|
|
|
|
Bug Fixes
|
|
---------
|
|
* issue 518 Fix MySQL counter resets
|
|
+
|
|
MySQL databases lost their change_id, account_id counters after
|
|
server restarts, causing duplicate key insertion errors. Fixed.
|
|
|
|
* issue 1019 Normalize OpenID URLs with http:// prefix
|
|
+
|
|
OpenID standards require sites to add "http://" to an OpenID
|
|
identifier if the user did not enter it themselves.
|
|
|
|
* Ignore PartialResultException from LDAP.
|
|
+
|
|
Instead of crashing with an exception, partial results are ignored
|
|
when configured to be ignored.
