2019-07-31
12:21
Fixed fossil_strcmp() usage in cgi_init() when in JSON mode. Through some extremely serendipitous fluke, its broken usage just happened to work until a bit was removed from that function in [ec56c69f] which, purely coincidentally, caused the bug (mine, from 2011!) to start triggering when x-www-form-urlencoded forms were submitted (login/logout). B... check-in: 115a70b2df user: stephan tags: trunk
08:09
Merged in autosetupAndJimTcl branch (autosetup updates). check-in: 51d006f851 user: stephan tags: trunk
2019-07-30
18:58 Edit [8ed91bbe44d0d383|8ed91bbe44]: Edit check-in comment. artifact: 4e3a2d5870 user: drh
18:55
Fix the "fossil server" command on windows so that it honors the --https option. check-in: 8ed91bbe44 user: drh tags: trunk
10:28
Restore the full CGI extension documentation that was somehow truncated by an earlier commit. check-in: 4130a22cee user: drh tags: trunk
01:17
Merge in updates from trunk. check-in: 7e7258b3ed user: andybradford tags: test-updates
2019-07-29
20:02
Improved documentation of the repolist-skin setting. check-in: 02bdcf5e9f user: drh tags: trunk
18:17
When doing a repository list, use the first repository that has a non-zero value for the "repolist-skin" setting as the skin for the list. If the "repolist-skin" setting is 2 and if the repository list is coming from a directory scan, the omit that repository from the list. All repositories are always shown, regardless of the "repolist-skin" sett... check-in: 8f5399bc7b user: drh tags: trunk
18:14
Fix the repolist-skin setting so that it sets up URL on the header menu correctly. Back out the stylesheet hack is that is now covered by the same fix. Closed-Leaf check-in: 6df7a853ec user: drh tags: repolist-skin
17:25
Merge fixes from trunk. check-in: 8a0753de2d user: drh tags: repolist-skin
15:12
Enhancements to the copy/paste SVG icon and to the global options help page. check-in: 93b0afc889 user: drh tags: trunk
14:19
Fix the build for -DFOSSIL_ENABLE_TH1_DOCS. The build was broken by check-in [ed2def5ffb96d74c] and on trunk by [ec56c69fe98d26d9]. check-in: 8abeb62737 user: drh tags: trunk
14:06
When to a repolist, if any of the repositories have a non-zero repolist-skin setting, use that repository as the skin for the listing. If the repolist-skin setting is 2, then omit that repository from the list for directory-scan lists, but always show all repos for a "fossil all ui" list. This *almost* works, but still has some small issues. Thi... check-in: 958e0bdc4a user: drh tags: repolist-skin
08:28
Move each command-line option to their own paragraph, for consistency with the document structure in "Environment Variables and Global Options", as this seems easier to browse and search. The explicit line-break between the two options was wiped with automatic cleanup of trailing spaces by [e2751b18af]. Closed-Leaf check-in: 14f2ba0436 user: florian tags: svg-and-md-formatting
08:14
Trim spaces from the CSS background image SVG data URI for the copy icon, to make it look more compact -- this may not necessarily reduce the overall size of the final gzipped CSS resource delivered by the Fossil web server. The uncompressed source code for the icon is on the branch/tooltip-copyhash wiki page, with a comment why the variant with ... check-in: 0be9a2dbb7 user: florian tags: svg-and-md-formatting
08:04 Changes to wiki page "branch/tooltip-copyhash" artifact: a58a4b6238 user: florian

Enhancements to the CGI extension documentation. Update the 2.10 change log to mention this enhancement and other changes. check-in: dfa5d50971 user: drh tags: trunk
15:30
Update the CGI extension documentation. Improved filename security in the CGI extension subsystem. check-in: 12c8cc709d user: drh tags: trunk
2019-07-26
20:54
Do not allow /ext to return files whose names begin with "." or "-" even if those files occur in the top-level extroot directory. check-in: e91de28b69 user: drh tags: trunk
18:15
Preliminary documentation for the /ext mechanism. check-in: 893fca3a15 user: drh tags: trunk
13:35
Fix the fullcap() SQL function so that it correctly expands the capabilities of Admin and Setup users to include everything. check-in: 384fdb6b4f user: drh tags: trunk
08:58 Changes to wiki page "branch/tooltip-copyhash" artifact: ec0dcc190d user: florian
06:14
Removed an old (#if 0)'d-out block - the permissions check it was blocking out is performed further down in the function. check-in: 7bd4bca2f4 user: stephan tags: trunk
2019-07-25
23:56
Neither Setup nor Admin users get Write-Unversioned permission by default. And only Setup users are able to include Write-Unversioned permission when editing a user. check-in: 9ca4eb2bda user: drh tags: trunk
21:11
Add the /ext page that will run CGI or deliver static content from a document hierarchy specified by the --extroot command-line option on "fossil server" or the extroot: option in the CGI file. check-in: ec56c69fe9 user: drh tags: trunk
21:09
Remove an unused variable. Closed-Leaf check-in: c2a98a5d62 user: drh tags: extension-cgi
20:53
Ensure that the cgi_decode_post_parameters() routine does not delete the raw content used by the /xfer page. check-in: af3a8dbe09 user: drh tags: extension-cgi
20:20
Enable the extroot: setting in CGI. check-in: c116a9996b user: drh tags: extension-cgi
19:53
Do not provide failure diagnostics on the /ext page unless the user has Debug privilege. check-in: 08b9b61972 user: drh tags: extension-cgi
18:34
Defer decoding POST parameters until after the webpage name is located. Do not do the decode if the webpage has the new "raw-content" property. Set that property on /ext so that is can relay the encoded content to sub-cgi. check-in: e4849f58e4 user: drh tags: extension-cgi
18:08
Add the ability for Debug users to trace sub-CGI responses by adding the fossil-ext-debug query parameter. check-in: cc21a4389e user: drh tags: extension-cgi
17:40
Disable HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING for the extension CGI. But leave that setting unchanged for Fossil as it might be needed for the relay back to the client. check-in: 54aeb1a8ce user: drh tags: extension-cgi
17:07 Edit [77a72fb96402f406|77a72fb964]: Mark "Closed". artifact: 7867b20cb1 user: drh
17:07
Add the ability to extend a Fossil server using CGI. This is a refactor of the prior sub-cgi branch. check-in: ed2def5ffb user: drh tags: extension-cgi
2019-07-24
10:54
Continuing work on the /aux page. Now working for static content. Closed-Leaf check-in: 77a72fb964 user: drh tags: sub-cgi
2019-07-23
23:25
Initial but incomplete work on an experimental /aux page that runs secondary CGI that has access to the Fossil user login credentials and similar information. This is an incremental check-in of work-in-progress. check-in: 72f8e77612 user: drh tags: sub-cgi
19:17
Make sure an HTTP request always has at least a single "/" in the pathname. check-in: 35d609a0ba user: drh tags: trunk
18:20
Fix over-length lines in the logic.c source file. No logical changes. check-in: cd11f92186 user: drh tags: trunk
18:14
Fix a typo in an internal function name. "logic" should be "login". check-in: c921545bff user: drh tags: trunk
16:16
Do not follow a redirect from HTTPS to HTTP. check-in: c19f782e54 user: drh tags: trunk
16:10
Add the test-httpmsg command. check-in: 1ad56ceeaf user: drh tags: trunk
13:16
Use HTTP/1.1 for the sync protocol, not HTTP/1.0. check-in: c51b61ff1b user: drh tags: trunk
04:23
Use new functionality in "fossil whatis" to correct wiki test cases since /info hrefs are no longer included in the wiki pages. check-in: ef40a0be40 user: andybradford tags: test-updates
03:49
Enable "fossil whatis" to actually find a wiki page when given --type w. check-in: 7627d4a73e user: andybradford tags: test-updates
2019-07-22
19:06
Bail out of the alert_send() routine if the notification system is misconfigured with a blank email-self value. check-in: 4c73b4afb9 user: drh tags: trunk
16:12
In the alert sending logic, if no "email-self" is specified, then substitute the bogus email address "nobody@invalid". check-in: 488af3639e user: drh tags: trunk
04:02 Edit [1bf7985d109f3b3c|1bf7985d10]: Mark "Closed". artifact: 12adf1bb22 user: stephan
2019-07-19
16:34
Update the server.wiki document to try to make it clear that Fossil works fine as a peer-to-peer system and does not require the use of a server. check-in: dc0a342d76 user: drh tags: trunk
16:33
Tightened up the opening paragraph of "Linux vs SQLite" section of fossil-v-git. check-in: 0297ae7fae user: wyoung tags: trunk
16:25
Moved numbered digressions in fossil-v-git down to the end of the document as a new "Asides and Digressions" section. These are things we don't want cluttering the main argument, not merely big parentheticals. check-in: 845262742e user: wyoung tags: trunk
16:14
Expanded the "Sync over push" section of fossil-v-git beyond the technology to cover the "why" behind the decision. Moved the Jim McCarthy quote up to be with it. check-in: 69e64183f1 user: wyoung tags: trunk
16:01
Rewrote "No rebasing" section in fossil-v-git for clarity check-in: 970e9173d4 user: wyoung tags: trunk
15:59
Rewrote the "Trust over hierarchy" point in fossil-v-git for clarity. check-in: d178c782d3 user: wyoung tags: trunk
15:53
Removed a repeated word in fossil-v-git check-in: b798e89a7e user: wyoung tags: trunk
15:52
Recast the "Anonymous contribution discouraged" point in fossil-v-git as "No easy drive-by contributions". check-in: 73381119d8 user: wyoung tags: trunk
15:39
Moved the comment about patch files in fossil-v-git down to a footnote and expanded on the point. It isn't a Git vs Fossil difference, but we need to explain why "just use a patch file" isn't a good answer to the common "allow easy drive-by contributions" wish. check-in: 4dcbd09fea user: wyoung tags: trunk
04:47
Correct minor syntax error that was likely never hit. check-in: d85b2edbb6 user: andybradford tags: test-updates
03:55
If the setting is long enough to fill in the format specifier---like the email-send-relayhost setting---there will be no whitespace after it unless it has a value set, so make the regex handle this particular state better. check-in: a8656f580f user: andybradford tags: test-updates
03:52
Update list of known settings which had diverged due to newly added features. check-in: 72e71e904d user: andybradford tags: test-updates
2019-07-18
22:45
Improved documentation of the --https option on "fossil server". check-in: 3c602dd7f3 user: drh tags: trunk
17:45
In the hierarchical forum display, make sure that the edited post number is displayed, not the original post number. check-in: 776ce9e645 user: drh tags: trunk
2019-07-17
22:26
Give sequential numbers to all display posts in the forum, and reference other forum posts in a thread by the sequence number. check-in: 5a7267d9e7 user: drh tags: trunk
21:23
In the hierarchical display of the forum, go back to strict hierarchical indentation. But, reduce the width of indentation for deeply nested discussions. check-in: 0cec52e08e user: drh tags: trunk
14:52
Added info about fossil undo, fossil amend, and shunning to the fossil-v-git doc, with comparison to the Git way of changing history. check-in: e878d54dcc user: wyoung tags: trunk
02:37
Reworked several sections of the fossil-v-git.wiki doc as sub-sections of "Linux vs. SQLite", which now acts as a frame for those sections. Some of these sections are expanded while others disappear entirely, most especially the "BSD vs GPL" argument that we started off on the now-merged branch to try and refine. We replace a discussion of licensi... check-in: 69ec89b591 user: wyoung tags: trunk
2019-07-16
20:02
Code cleanup: Add a lot of "const" qualifiers for static (string) arrays, where appropriate. This allows the C compiler to optimize more check-in: 70a94d0972 user: jan.nijtmans tags: trunk
15:44
Reduced redundancy in the new feature set size vs ease of use discussion in fossil-v-git. Closed-Leaf check-in: a52e68459f user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl
15:42
When committing without parent-id (additional "initial" commits), make sure the branch-name is set to "trunk" when not provided otherwise. check-in: 0fd6cf166c user: jan.nijtmans tags: trunk
15:05
Rewrote the "Accepting Contributions" section of the fossil-v-git doc to focus on the size of each tool in terms of SLOC and features, rather than on licensing details. check-in: 5fe84e7011 user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl
14:58
Missing db_end_transaction(0) check-in: b0db865f20 user: jan.nijtmans tags: trunk
2019-07-14
21:24
Fix the in-reply-to link for hierarchical forum display to maintain the hierarchical display. Make the link say "previous" if linking to the previous post in the thread. check-in: 1b63ab701b user: drh tags: trunk
20:32
Try to omit unnecessary indentation on the hierarchical forum display. Include an "in reply to" mark on the hierarchical display. check-in: 97697b7956 user: drh tags: trunk
12:28
Fixed some grammar errors in fossil-v-git's new "Accepting Contributions" material. check-in: 34d758bf86 user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl
12:25
Small tweak to prev check-in: d1c61803fc user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl
12:24
Turned a redundancy in the "Scale" section of fossil-v-git into a clearer point. Also added a bit on Fossil's later birthday and our take on its consequences. check-in: 30a74d7e05 user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl
12:12
Renamed named anchor for "Accepting Contributions" in fossil-v-git from "license" to "contrib". check-in: 074b896e57 user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl
12:11
Re-cast the "BSD vs GPL" section as "Accepting Contributions." In the end, that's what the difference in license amounts to. This makes the section longer, but the change includes a link to skip past the actual licensing discussion for those who don't want to read our attempt at an unbiased discussion of GPL vs BSD, since even if we've succeded, ... check-in: 75e93e35b1 user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl
11:37
Another bit of prose polishing in fossil-v-git check-in: fcdefd97a7 user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl
11:28
Prose polishing in the "License" section of fossil-v-git check-in: eebd713511 user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl
11:02
Moved the "BSD vs GPL" section up in the fossil-v-git doc and made it a sub-section of a new "Linux vs SQLite" section which has two other sub-sections: "Development Organization," which contains an expanded version of what used to be called "Cathedral vs. Bazaar" and "Scale," which contains what is left of the prior version's "Linux vs. SQLite" se... check-in: bab2656d1c user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl
05:43 Added wiki page "checkin/743e166cf95c86e5de21c3a245113258d820c0c26424dd5a41a7a452087446c3" artifact: c4c48d9c5b user: mistachkin
04:46
When removing a directory on Windows, make sure it is a real directory (i.e. not a junction, symbolic link, etc). check-in: 9bb25a2862 user: mistachkin tags: trunk
2019-07-13
19:31
Eliminate all usage of Tcl_GetStringResult(), since that causes loss of Tcl_Obj representation in Tcl 8.x (this is solved in Tcl 9.0) check-in: 743e166cf9 user: jan.nijtmans tags: trunk
18:03
Import the command-line tool fix from SQLite (without the other changes on SQLite trunk) and then disable double-quoted string literals again. check-in: 282612762e user: drh tags: trunk
16:56
Disable the SQLITE_DQS=0 compile-time option. It turns out the ".schema" command in the SQLite CLI makes use of double-quoted string literals. check-in: 05ca5d96c1 user: drh tags: trunk
14:30
Change the default hash policy to "sha3". Bump the version number to 2.10 to start the next development cycle. check-in: b4520f5efc user: drh tags: trunk
13:05
Version 2.9 check-in: 0fd79a3e09 user: drh tags: trunk, release, version-2.9
12:35
Fix a typo in a check-in race warning message. check-in: 66f06fe23b user: drh tags: trunk
2019-07-12
16:59
Do not invoke db_lget() in the sync protocol if the local checkout database is unavailable (such as when running "fossil all sync"). check-in: 0dba0f4b99 user: drh tags: trunk
16:43
Typo fix check-in: bd0b86e97d user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl
16:40
Added "and use" to fossil-v-git: the license has effects that extend beyond design and implementation. check-in: 2cc9036e10 user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl
16:39
Prose tightening tweak check-in: d2a77c309e user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl
16:38
Reduced repeition of the "deisgn and implementation" bits of "Fossil vs Git" in the new "GPL vs BSD" material. check-in: 4f293ddf58 user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl
16:33
Rewrote the opening paragraph to "GPL vs BSD" in "Fossil vs Git" doc to make it clear that we're not trying to persuade you to make our same choice. Also removed two paragraphs making a judgement about the nature of each license for the same reason. check-in: d48fdb41fb user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl
15:46
Moved a sentence from the final paragraph up to the first in the "GPL vs BSD" section of the "Fossil vs. Git" doc. It was something of a non-sequitur where it was, and in its new position, it serves to bookend the discussion: we lay out our proposition at the top and come to a conclusion that we believe supports that proposition by the end. check-in: cb1b007cd5 user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl
15:41
Removed a final sentence in a paragraph that basically just restated the paragraph in the new Fossil vs Git doc. check-in: f5a39a7e1d user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl
15:29
Distilled the points about "GPL + CLA = commrecial interests" to only the bits essential to the "Fossil vs Git" argument. check-in: ba1fa73b87 user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl
14:53
Applied rewording suggested in https://fossil-scm.org/forum/forumpost/1af94ddea9 check-in: 840f2b3929 user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl
14:51
Toned down the "corporate overlord" stuff in the "Fossil vs Git" doc. check-in: 133927979c user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl
14:43
Changed "pneumatic ratchet wrench" to "impact wrench" and added a Wikipedia link to make an analogy clearer in the "Fossil vs Git" doc. check-in: 6e3383467c user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl
14:15
Clarified the consequences of a CLA on Fossil and on FOSS projects in general in the "Fossil vs Git" doc. check-in: fffa67693d user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl
14:08
Add documentation on the "pragma ci-unlock" message in the sync protocol. check-in: 1eefb8dbec user: drh tags: trunk
13:58
Clarity tweak to the "why CLA + BSD" justification in the "Fossil vs Git" doc. check-in: 633830fe17 user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl
13:58
Improved error messages when a commit fails due to a lock conflict: Show the age of the lock in addition to the user. Suggest using the new --override-lock option instead of --allow-fork. Expire locks after any successful check-in from the same check-out. check-in: 3a5caa86db user: drh tags: trunk
13:57
Better text justifying the use of a CLA in conjunction with the GPL in the "Fossil vs Git" article. check-in: 838c9efec8 user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl
13:25
Merged in Linux vs SQLite stuff from trunk check-in: f5321731f9 user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl
13:24
Clarified the scale of the Linux vs SQLite projects in the same-named section of the Git vs Fossil doc, tightened up the discussion a bit, and added hard SLOC stats to ground it all. Most controversially, added the rattle wrench analogy. check-in: 69e7827d26 user: wyoung tags: trunk
12:37
Fix a typo in the fossil-v-git.wiki document, as reported on the forum. "fossil all status" should be "fossil all changes". check-in: 9b51c42a8b user: drh tags: trunk
05:03
Grammar fix to previous check-in: 7cfe191bf1 user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl
04:57
Rewrote the "GPL vs. BSD" section in www/fossil-v-git.wiki. See forum post here for justification and discussion: https://fossil-scm.org/forum/forumpost/3239c30fff check-in: 68a7563ec7 user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl
04:11
Assorted improvements to www/fossil-v-git.wiki: added hyperlinks, fixed some spelling, capitalization, and grammar problems, clarified "Linux" vs "Linux kernel", clarified the description of the git-worktree feature, moved punctuation inside double quotes (typography), and added a few detail paragraphs. check-in: fd990128dd user: wyoung tags: trunk
2019-07-11
13:58
Add missing semicolon in the anti-robot defense javascript. check-in: 4519945883 user: drh tags: trunk
13:10
Minor change to the "aboutdownload" document. check-in: fd8d37e2ab user: drh tags: trunk
12:19
Make sure the backoffice does not try to reuse file descriptors that it has previously closed. check-in: 458ced3535 user: drh tags: trunk
2019-07-10
22:19
Add a reference to the idea of a "Conflict-Free Replicated Datatypes" to the sync documentation. check-in: 2b3569d19f user: drh tags: trunk
18:55
Update the built-in SQLite to the 3.29.0 release. check-in: 8c9eeb0151 user: drh tags: trunk
16:22
Back out check-in [a52c3e1256288c7d]. Perhaps the "test-move-repository" command should be promoted to a supported and documented command, but I don't think "local-repo" is the correct name, and in any event, the command needs additional work before it is given first-class status. For example, typing "fossil local-repo" without the 3rd term shoul... check-in: aa3f554cff user: drh tags: trunk
03:49
Update custom MinGW makefile. check-in: 1c88ed9bec user: mistachkin tags: trunk
2019-07-08
19:14
Renamed the test-move-repository command to local-repo, since it's useful for more than just testing, and there's no good alternative in the main command set otherwise. It is especially useful with local-only repos, since that means use of the sync and remote-url commands isn't the correct way to change the location of the local repo. check-in: a52c3e1256 user: wyoung tags: trunk
17:11
Fix an apparent bug in the "fossil grep" command causing it to miss the first character of each line. check-in: 5421caa21a user: drh tags: trunk
17:05
Update the built-in SQLite to the first 3.29.0 beta for testing. Enable the -DSQLITE_DQS=0 compile-time option for Fossil, thus preventing SQLite from using double-quoted string literals by default. check-in: 0c0f6db7ba user: drh tags: trunk
2019-07-06
22:27

When activating one of the new "in reply to" links, tag the newly-focused post with CSS class forumSelReplyTo so that it can be visually marked. Added default forumSelReplyTo CSS class which uses the same border as forumTime but with a dotted style. EDIT: do not merge with trunk - there are problems to solve (if feasible) regarding linking to edite... Closed-Leaf check-in: 1bf7985d10 user: stephan tags: forum-reply-links

Replaced the forum post DIV ids forum{RID} with post-{short-UUID}, which allowed removal of the new A NAME tag and enables permalinks (RIDs are volatile). Added forumPost class to all post DIVs, to hopefully simplify some upcoming JS code. check-in: 69364ba515 user: stephan tags: forum-reply-links
