Fossil SCM 2.23

Fossil is a distributed version control system, quite robust and easy to use. It manages local and remote repositories, user permissions, has a built-in wiki, bugtracker, release blog and an extendable web interface. It's github-in-a-box as all features are packed into a stand-alone executable which also doubles as server. Internally the database utilizes SQLite and allows extending that or its user interface through TCL or the builtin TH1 scripting language. An optional JSON API permits further extensions.

If the value N is negative in "--context N" or "-c N" to the various diff. Commands, then treat it as infinite and show the complete file content. The stock OCI container no longer includes BusyBox, thus no longer. Needs to start as root to chroot that power away. That in turn Frees us from needing to build and install the container as root, Since it no longer has to create a private. /dev tree Inside the jail for Fossil's use. Add support for the trigram tokenizer for FTS5 search to enable. Searching in Chinese. Comment lines (starting with a '#') are now supported inside. Versioned settings.

2.1922 Jul 2022 10:25 minor feature: Pending.
2.1829 Mar 2022 07:05 minor feature: On file listing pages, sort filenames using the "uintnocase" collating Sequence, so that filenames that contains embedded integers sort in Numeric order even if they contain a different number of digits.

The fossil ui command is enhanced in multiple ways: The REPOSITORY argument can be the name of a check-out directory. If the REPOSITORY argument is preby "HOST:" or "USER@HOST:". Then the ui is run on the remote machine and tunnelled back to the local Machine using ssh. (The latest version of fossil must be installed on Both the local and the remote for this to work correctly.) The new --nobrowser and --fossilcmd options is provided. The REPOSITORY argument can be the name of a check-out directory. If the REPOSITORY argument is preby "HOST:" or "USER@HOST:". Then the ui is run on the remote machine and tunnelled back to the local Machine using ssh.

2.1528 Mar 2021 02:45 minor feature: The default CSP has been relaxed slightly to allow Images to be loaded from any URL. All other resources are still Locked down by default.

The hamburger menu is now available on most of the built-in skins. Any built-in skin named "X" can be used instead of the standard. Repository skin by adding the URL parameter. skin=X to the Request. The selection is persisted using the display Preferences cookie unless the "once" query parameter is also Included. The /skins page may be used to select a skin. The /cookies page now gives the user an opportunity to delete. Individual cookies. And the /cookies page is linked from the sitemap, so that it appears in hamburger menus. The /sitemap extensions are now specified by a single new. sitemap-extra setting ". Rather than a cluster of various sitemap-*" settings. The older settings are no longer used.. This change might require minor server configuration. Adjustments on servers that use /sitemap extensions. The /Admin/Configuration page provides the ability to edit. The new "sitemap-extra" setting.

For diff web pages, if the diff type (unified versus side-by-side) is not specified by a query parameter, and if the. preferred-diff-type ". Setting is omitted or less than 1, then select the diff type based on a guess of whether or not the request is coming from a mobile. Device. Mobile gets unified and desktop gets side-by-side. The various pages which show diffs now have toggles to show/hide. Individual diffs. Add the " preferred-diff-type ". Setting to allow an admin to force a de
2.1421 Jan 2021 06:45 minor feature: Schema Update Notice #1: This release drops a trigger from the database schema (replacing it with a TEMP trigger that is created as needed). This. Change happens automatically the first time you Add content to a repository using Fossil 2.14 or later. No Action is needed on your part. However, if you upgrade to Version 2.14 and then later downgrade or otherwise use an earlier Version of Fossil, the email notification mechanism may fail to send out notifications for some events, due to the missing. Trigger. If you want to Permanently downgrade an installation, then you should run fossil rebuild " after the downgrade to get email notifications working again. If you are not using. Email notification, then the schema change will not affect you in Any way. Schema Update Notice #2: This release changes how the descriptions of wiki edits are stored in the EVENT table, for improved display on timelines. You must.

Initiate a preview and to toggle between the editor and preview tabs. The /artifact and /file views, when in Line-number mode, now support interactive selection of a range of lines to hyperlink to enhance the /finfo webpage so that when query parameters identify both a filename and a checkin, the resulting graph tracks the identified file across renames. The built-in SQLite is updated to an alpha of version 3.34.0, and. The minimum SQLite version is increased to 3.34.0 because the finfo change in the previous bullet depends on enhancements to. Recursive common table expressions that are only available in SQLite 3.34.0 and later. Countless other minor refinements and documentation improvements..

Converted to all lowercase and entered into the parameter set, Instead of being discarded. Change the default hash policy to SHA3. Timeout CGI requests after 300 seconds, or. Some other value set by the timeout:" property in the CGI script. The check-in lock interval is reduced from 24 hours to 60 seconds. Though the interval is now configurable using a setting.
