18:09
Avoid warning about extra call to db_end_transaction() by returning at the end of a complete block. check-in: 7b2350a86b user: andybradford tags: trunk
17:09
If there is nothing to stash, issue an error. check-in: d959c48ac6 user: andybradford tags: trunk
16:42
Merge in latest from trunk. check-in: aa37639112 user: andybradford tags: db-begin-txn-updates
16:23
Merge in trunk latest developments. Closed-Leaf check-in: 08291fec9f user: andybradford tags: test-updates
13:53
The IIS web server does not define REQUEST_URI, instead is uses PATH_INFO for virtually the same purpose. Define REQUEST_URI the same as PATH_INFO and redefine PATH_INFO with SCRIPT_NAME removed from the beginning. Closed-Leaf check-in: 54fdd1a5d7 user: tsbg tags: iis-cgi
13:21
IIS and possibly other web servers define environment variables with an empty value. Handle them the same as non-existing environment variables. check-in: 9a2ec393db user: tsbg tags: iis-cgi
13:04
Ouput an error if the CGI control file is missing on the command line. This prevents IIS to fall in a endless loop. check-in: 6a59d33e3d user: tsbg tags: iis-cgi
2019-08-29
02:44
Changed internal docs on capability 6 (AdminForum) to remove the claim that it can be used to revoke capabilty 4 (WrTForum) from users. I think that feature was planned, but no UI was ever created to support it. Maybe that feature will come someday, but the forum feature is over a year old now. Doing it on this branch because this is all part of... check-in: fd9ba57a6a user: wyoung tags: caps-doc
01:57
Linked to the new caps docs from the existing www/* docs wherever "capability" or "capabilities" was mentioned before. check-in: 0af0e14688 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc
00:45
Clarified meaning of EmailAlert (7) in cap ref. check-in: 4aceb600dc user: wyoung tags: caps-doc
00:31
Merged in trunk changes check-in: 493254b2e7 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc
00:28
Updated comment about "6-character random hex password" at the top level of the new setup docs to track [23a9f9bac2]. check-in: f304ba31fe user: wyoung tags: trunk
00:21
Linked to the new material showing Fossil's idea of user power hierarchy from the comment in fossil-v-git.wiki about Fossil's support for the organization's social and power hierarchies. It's not that Fossil has *no* support for enforcing this, it's that it's usually a fairly loose match between the two systems. This is an important point, becaus... check-in: b72795a339 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc
00:17
Fixed some URLs still referring to admin-v-setup.md in its old location. check-in: 182c4d7abc user: wyoung tags: caps-doc
00:07
Investigated the use of HTTP for sync over ssh:// and file:// URLs and added what I found to the "Caps Affect Web Interfaces Only" section of the new caps docs. check-in: 845b459439 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc
2019-08-28
23:33
Documented Public Pages and the default user capability set in www/caps/index.md. check-in: 4671ddb179 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc
23:15
Moved the discussion about inadvertent attribution of artifacts and the problems with easy solutions to the problem into the implementation details section of the new caps docs and expanded it to cover recent forum discussions. check-in: 78ad8b7496 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc
22:42
Assorted small improvements to top-level caps doc check-in: f21bfbeede user: wyoung tags: caps-doc
22:09
Expanded the "Why Not Bitfields?" discussion in www/caps/impl.md. Also tweaked the "Capability Letter Choices" text a bit while in there. check-in: 3ac560a2d0 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc
19:55 Edit [b2379b31c2e19656|b2379b31c2]: Edit check-in comment. artifact: d885c5d19c user: wyoung
19:52
Changed the hamburger menu link href from "#" to "/sitemap" so clicks on it do something useful in the noscript case. check-in: b2379b31c2 user: wyoung tags: trunk
16:08
Added 'or' help for checkin/ci alias, per forum request. check-in: f616380dfa user: stephan tags: trunk
2019-08-27
20:57
For candidate CGI parameter names that start with an uppercase letter, convert them to lowercase and then add. check-in: b47b6b6906 user: mistachkin tags: noJsonCgiFlag
20:35
Moved www/capabilities.md to www/caps/index.md and www/admin-v-setup.md to www/caps/admin-v-setup.md. Then broke three chunks of the old capabilities.md doc out into new www/caps/* docs: login groups, implementation details of user capabilities, and the user capability reference material. The latter switched from Markdown to HTML format so we cou... check-in: c6cdf9ce8e user: wyoung tags: caps-doc
18:04
Merged most of the new material on Setup vs Admin in the new capabilities doc into the pre-existing admin-v-setup.md doc, which already covers this topic. check-in: ee901c7be3 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc
12:51
Change 'NO_JSON' to lowercase. Remove other branch changes that are now superfluous. check-in: 8baac2646c user: mistachkin tags: noJsonCgiFlag
12:36
Add hyperlinks to the branch diff page from branch timeline and from /info. check-in: 833b220adc user: drh tags: vdiff-improvements
10:40
Query and post parameters may never begin with an upper-case letter. To allow that is a huge security hole. check-in: 72c721eacf user: drh tags: noJsonCgiFlag
07:21
Restore legacy title handling behavior for TH1 docs (changed via check-in [8abeb62737c2b527]). check-in: 4219002631 user: mistachkin tags: noJsonCgiFlag
06:50
Attempt to fix 'CONTENT_TYPE' detection when a suffix, e.g. '; charset=utf-8', is present. check-in: 891bbc6ffe user: mistachkin tags: noJsonCgiFlag
05:57
Improve comment. check-in: 316dd394b8 user: mistachkin tags: noJsonCgiFlag
05:55
More refinements. check-in: c1f4a84694 user: mistachkin tags: noJsonCgiFlag
05:34
If the '--cgiupperparamsok' command line option or 'uppercase_params' CGI control line are present, allow parameter names to start with an uppercase letter. check-in: ab0d81f893 user: mistachkin tags: noJsonCgiFlag
04:15
Make it possible to disable JSON auto-detection in the CGI subsystem. check-in: a775435357 user: mistachkin tags: noJsonCgiFlag
03:56
Grepped the Fossil source code for C code that checks for Setup caps exclusively to preotect functions and listed those in the Reference section of capablities.md. Also expanded the coverage of the "caps affect Fossil web interfaces only" section, which plays into this. check-in: 689f7683b6 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc
02:16
Added cap "n" to "r" in skins that show a /ticket link in their header, since the handler for it allows the page to show for those who can only file new tickets, not just those who can see existing tickets. Also fixed some skins that were using "anoncap" to test this: it needs to work for all logged-in users, not just "anonymous". Closed-Leaf check-in: f4e3abce26 user: wyoung tags: skin-cap-matching
02:08
Minor wording change in the header of /vdiff. check-in: 69adb45da0 user: drh tags: vdiff-improvements
02:07
Updates to the /vdiff page with the branch=BRANCH query parameter so that it uses merge-in: instead of root: and thus excludes merge-in check-ins from the diff. check-in: b36dc6f121 user: drh tags: vdiff-improvements
01:55
Rewrote explanation of "o" cap. check-in: 208ca0d713 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc
01:47
Add the "merge-in:NAME" name type, similar to "root:NAME" except that it finds the youngest anscestor of NAME that is in the branch from which the branch of NAME derived. check-in: dcd8f1d8f4 user: drh tags: vdiff-improvements
01:40
Disentangled discussion of "developer" vs "reader" in capabilities.md. check-in: 869494eb8f user: wyoung tags: caps-doc
01:00
Added (Names) to the "Capability Reference" section of capabilities.md so the reference can be used while reading C source code, which uses these names instead of the capability characters in all code past the login handler. check-in: d48dff8fd7 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc
00:29
Merge in documentation enhancements from trunk. check-in: c1b62c3260 user: drh tags: vdiff-improvements
00:29
Remove an unused subroutine. Fix a minor CSS problem. check-in: 2078c746a5 user: drh tags: vdiff-improvements
00:11
On the /vdiff page, show a timeline with both check-ins using different highlights on each check-in. check-in: 6e40f866ab user: drh tags: vdiff-improvements
00:07
Changed all of the [anycap jor] TH1 calls in the stock skins wrapping the generation of that skin's /timeline and /timeline.rss links to [anycap ijr2] to match the user caps the timeline HTTP hit handler actually checks for in the C code. This is a branch in part because it needs review, but also it's the start of a broader effort to check the oth... check-in: 9cee8cf5c4 user: wyoung tags: skin-cap-matching
2019-08-25
13:24
Added HTTP proxying info to Debian nginx server setup guide. check-in: c6a033cea6 user: wyoung tags: trunk
12:39
Replaced the content of "Running Fossil in SCGI Mode" within www/server/debian/nginx.md with references to our other Fossil server docs. This also reduces the prior focus of this section on fslsrv to a single sentence, since we now prefer the systemd option, now that we have it. check-in: a4bb92f791 user: wyoung tags: trunk
12:29
Swapped the simple foo.net "whole site is Fossil" example in www/server/debian/nginx.md for the more complicated example.com one where only /code is served by Fossil. This is probably going to be more common, and it shows off the important detail of setting SCRIPT_NAME properly. Made a minor adjustment to any/scgi.md to track this change, so ther... check-in: 653e90ca62 user: wyoung tags: trunk
11:52
Clarified use of scgi_params, SCRIPT_NAME, and service starting in the generic SCGI server setup doc. check-in: 5a58ac3141 user: wyoung tags: trunk
2019-08-24
18:32
Merge fork check-in: 6c6aae9782 user: andygoth tags: trunk
2019-08-23
12:42
Add the fossil_random_password() utility function and use it to generate a stronger initial admin-user password in the "fossil new" command. check-in: 23a9f9bac2 user: drh tags: trunk
12:23
If the test-markdown-render or test-wiki-render commands are invoked without a repository in which to check for Wiki page names and artifact hashes, then substitute a temporary, empty, in-memory repository so that the commands will still work and won't give SQL errors. check-in: 0ac64dad80 user: drh tags: trunk
11:49
Clarified the placement of "moderator" and "subscriber" in the power hierarchy expression within www/capabilities.md, since each could float up and down somewhat within the fixed hierarchy we give here. Also fixed a broken URL. check-in: ba88f4f2a7 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc
11:07
Markdown hyperlinks are only converted to links to wiki if the named wikipage actually exists. Otherwise, the link becomes a relative link. This is for backwards compatibility. check-in: 3b10e64468 user: drh tags: trunk
08:31
Added www/capabilities.md, a complete treatment on user capabilities, user categories, login groups, and administration matters involving all of this. It does not replace the pre-existing admin-v-setup.md doc, but a bit of its content did move into this new doc. The new doc also contains the user capability info previously in the forum.wiki doc. ... check-in: 832f107ebb user: wyoung tags: caps-doc
05:32
Fixed a few fatal error messages from the login-group command that referred to an "add" command, which is now called "join". The symptom I saw is that "fossil login-group add" complained that "add" is not a valid command and that you should give '"add" or "leave"' instead! check-in: 09c65d7527 user: wyoung tags: trunk
05:22
Fixed a few messages from the login-group command that referred to an apparent older name for the "join" sub-command, "add". This lead to a confusing symptom: "fossil login-group add foo" -> {unknown command "add" - should be "add" or "leave"}. check-in: 739cd8720e user: wyoung tags: trunk
2019-08-22
15:06
Stronger recommendation for changing the default user's random hex password prior to setting up a Fossil server after learning it's 6 hex digits, not 8 as I thoght when I wrote that! check-in: 9fcd6e443c user: wyoung tags: trunk
14:14
Added bullet list detailing the sources for <script nonce=""> from a Fossil server and the reasons we consider each path safe. check-in: 91377ae432 user: wyoung tags: trunk
13:31
Reworked the material explaining why in-page <style> is currently allowed by Fossil's default CSP to make it clearer that this is most likely a temporary situation and that local custom CSS should go in the skin instead. check-in: 092eeebf40 user: wyoung tags: trunk
13:13
Expanded the discussion of in-repo and out-of-repo resource links in defcsp.md. check-in: 23fcd765f6 user: wyoung tags: trunk
12:39
Reworked the new introductory material in defcsp.md to be less about the CSP as last-resort and more about being a secondary filter to our other measures. Gave examples to clarify the tensions that prevent a purely server-side solution from being a practical solution. check-in: 1c4df5bf0a user: wyoung tags: trunk
11:54
"RaspberryPI" -> "Raspberry Pi" check-in: 5182be99c9 user: wyoung tags: trunk
11:53
Assorted refinements to the new pre- and post-activation advice sections in www/server/index.html: nix passive voice, add a few details, add some links to related docs, etc. Also fixed a CSS indenting problem preventing correct use of

in

  • , then made use of the new freedom in these sections' numbered lists.

check-in: b5c2c9bf31 user: wyoung tags: trunk
2019-08-21
19:18
Fix the $ROOT mechanism in HTML documents so that it accepts any whitespace character before href= and script=. Add $ROOT in appropriate places in the server documentation. check-in: 3e183bfad8 user: drh tags: trunk
18:15
Outline how to configure a repository before and after server activation. check-in: 154ea087af user: drh tags: trunk
17:37
Improvements to the althttpd documentation. check-in: 44f1df9fef user: drh tags: trunk
17:21
Further improvements to the server document. check-in: c2c4d3039f user: drh tags: trunk
16:57
Extra defenses against running fossil_atexit() more than once. check-in: bc7683e15a user: drh tags: trunk
16:55
Fix the "shell" command so that it avoids invoking the atexit() handler more than once. check-in: 07a5a2118e user: drh tags: trunk
15:56
Server documentation updates. check-in: b2426c2786 user: drh tags: trunk
14:46
Merge in recent developments on trunk. check-in: 70d091eacc user: andybradford tags: test-updates
12:32
Disallow versioning of security sensitive settings tcl-setup, th1-setup, and th1-uri-regexp. For effective security, these settings should only be controllable by an administrator. check-in: 2da704c5a1 user: drh tags: trunk
11:26
Update to the default CSP page. Attempted to resolve merge conflicts, but more editting is likely necessary. check-in: 33a7b8babe user: drh tags: trunk
11:09
Added a header to the new XSS material in defcsp.md so we can refer directly to it. check-in: 7b843f2d43 user: wyoung tags: trunk
11:01
More thorough explanation of <script nonce> in www/defcsp.md, and explained the reason why Fossil has no way of providing that nonce in most content types rather than link to the "XSS via check-in rights" forum post. This new presentation of that post's ideas is more detailed and includes discussion of the feature's interaction with the TH1 docs f... check-in: 8d43bb8786 user: wyoung tags: trunk
09:40
Major improvements to the new defcsp.md article. Expanded the introductory material to better describe what the CSP does; added named anchors to headers; moved the discussion of $default_csp overrides into this document from customskin.md, which now just says how you use that variable read-only; and added an entirely new section, "Replacing the De... check-in: 366b23a180 user: wyoung tags: trunk
08:52
Replaced the redundant copy of the default CSP in skins/bootstrap/header.txt with "$default_csp", allowing the TH1 setup script to override the CSP as in all the other stock skins. (Bootstrap is the last stock skin to define a custom <head> element.) check-in: 14ac2cacdd user: wyoung tags: trunk
2019-08-20
19:16
Fix memcpy() compiler warnings. check-in: 7ae4b1a719 user: drh tags: trunk
16:11
Fix possible misaligned pointer to a 16-bit object. check-in: f7c41be825 user: drh tags: trunk
15:04
Updated and expanded documentation on how to set up a Fossil server. check-in: f146e21af9 user: drh tags: trunk
14:55
Add the --with-sanitizer option to the ./configure script. check-in: 231d693314 user: drh tags: trunk
07:01
Fixed a link punctuation bug introduced in [74a6578c]. Closed-Leaf check-in: c57e17931d user: wyoung tags: server-docs
06:45
The merge from trunk accidentally reverted part of the new text in www/embeddeddoc.wiki. (This part was manually merged, and I missed a diff relative to trunk.) check-in: 8976a9dae3 user: wyoung tags: server-docs
06:35
Missed a link to server.wiki that should have been checked in with [74a6578c]. check-in: d5def0c8c4 user: wyoung tags: server-docs
06:34
Merged in trunk improvements check-in: 42d28c0286 user: wyoung tags: server-docs
06:28
Reverted src/doc.c to the trunk version. The "Plan Z" reversion in [8264fd75] was incomplete, causing bad TH1 variable expansion. I believe this explains the symptom I worked around in [9bdf650f0b8]. This check-in also cherry-picks [3d6a4fd95c] onto the branch. check-in: 3cdf764c2c user: wyoung tags: server-docs
06:03
Updated all of the internal hyperlinks referencing www/server.wiki to point at either www/server/index.html or one of the docs it now points at. check-in: 74a6578cd4 user: wyoung tags: server-docs
04:57
Fixed an unwanted "$nonce" variable expansion within the new customskin.md introduced by [9044fd2dbe] which only occurs *sometimes*: not on fossil-scm.org, and apparently not in my earlier ckout testing prior to checking it in, but now in a different ckout test. This has to be a TH1 thing, but I don't understand why we didn't see this earlier. Thi... check-in: 9bdf650f0b user: wyoung tags: trunk
04:34
Fixed a link from the new material in embeddeddoc.wiki to the new CSP material: that briefly lived in customskin.md before checking it in, but then I moved it to a new document and forgot to update the link. check-in: f4cbfd5acc user: wyoung tags: trunk
04:24
Fixed a couple of Tcl syntax fixes that caused the new --with-sanitizer code to a) run unconditionally irrespective of the option's setting and b) to check for the existence of libubsan whether it was actually needed or not. Closed-Leaf check-in: 66fdab7605 user: wyoung tags: configure-updates
04:07
Added www/defcsp.md, which documents the default Content Security Policy applied by Fossil to the HTML pages it serves. Linked that into embeddeddoc.wik and customskin.md, which touched on this topic before but didn't go into much detail. check-in: 4e6d36d7d4 user: wyoung tags: trunk
02:09
Fix a compiler warning in the security-audit page. check-in: 3243a6c148 user: drh tags: trunk
02:07 Edit [7907b6ffae6c6fa1|7907b6ffae]: Move to branch configure-updates. Edit check-in comment. artifact: a17726f924 user: drh
01:34
Added --with-sanitizer configure-time option for appending -fsanitize=VALUE to CFLAGS and LDFLAGS, plus automatic detection of -lubsan for GCC, which doesn't automatically link to that with -fsanitize=undefined as Clang does. EDIT: This check-in breaks the built on Ubuntu 18.04. check-in: 7907b6ffae user: wyoung tags: configure-updates
00:41
Removed "known to work with IIS" bit from www/server/index.html in the CGI section, since that is not actually true. We can put it back once someone figures out the IIS + CGI + Fossil CPU pegging problem. check-in: 8b7c17de3f user: wyoung tags: server-docs
00:37
Removed documentation of the nonce="$NONCE" feature in www/embeddeddoc.wiki, removed as part of [8264fd75]. check-in: d55f6b1501 user: wyoung tags: server-docs
2019-08-19
23:32
Fix a broken hyperlink on the new server-docs index page. check-in: 461c8f06fc user: drh tags: server-docs
19:29
Updating links in www/server/windows/stunnel.md to correct locations. check-in: 65d175aef0 user: ckennedy tags: server-docs
18:24
Plan Z check-in: 8264fd75bc user: drh tags: server-docs
17:18
Have the security-audit page analyze and display the content security policy. check-in: 9cf90a4f9d user: drh tags: trunk
13:04
Increase the default HTTP request timeout to 10 minutes. Provide the FOSSIL_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT compile-time option for setting an alternative default. check-in: 7979989dff user: drh tags: trunk
12:38
Added missing www/chroot.md file check-in: 80cd49f063 user: wyoung tags: server-docs
12:09
Updated www/server/index.html to no longer discuss launchd as a "maybe" option now that we have a document for it, and removed mention of Solaris SMF entirely. check-in: 1e6fbcf214 user: wyoung tags: server-docs
11:59
Added www/server/macos/service.md and then added macOS to the set of server OSes offered in www/server/index.html check-in: e0ad4b48b5 user: wyoung tags: server-docs
10:22
Assorted small tweaks to www/server/windows/iis.md check-in: b5fefeec23 user: wyoung tags: server-docs
10:10
Small tweaks to the new "Serving as a Standalone Server on Windows" article. check-in: 3995a3c7ae user: wyoung tags: server-docs
09:47
Assorted small tweaks to server docs, mainly around new systemd material. check-in: 9d4a478241 user: wyoung tags: server-docs
09:10
Added www/server/debian/service.md, demonstrating systemd configuration of Fossil for the first time in the official docs, both as a user serivce and in socket activation mode as a system-level service. check-in: 94763aed7c user: wyoung tags: server-docs
05:00
Clarity tweak check-in: bc678e1321 user: wyoung tags: server-docs
04:58
Grammar fix on previous check-in: d5c754f97b user: wyoung tags: server-docs
04:58
Title tweak on previous check-in: afc65312fa user: wyoung tags: server-docs
04:57
Added www/server/windows/none.md server setup article check-in: 3e55ddf754 user: wyoung tags: server-docs
03:44
Added explicit instructions on installing IIS within the new IIS server docs. It isn't installed by default, and in the CGI case, CGI isn't part of the default IIS install. check-in: b2f10ad585 user: wyoung tags: server-docs
01:17
The www/customskin.md document hadn't been updated since we removed the explicit <html><head> stuff from the default skins and moved that into the C code so we could insert the CSP and such automatically. Updated it to show the inner
tags that you actually get by default now, and talked about how the HTML document wrapper is added automatica...
check-in: 9044fd2dbe user: wyoung tags: trunk
00:51
Fix embedded HTML detection for the 'doc' web page when the 'data-title' attribute is not specified. check-in: 3d6a4fd95c user: mistachkin tags: trunk
00:30
Added links back to the top-level www/server/index.html article from the tail end of www/server/*/*.md. check-in: 0f6f151dd3 user: wyoung tags: server-docs
00:25
Justified the ordering of sections in www/server/index.html by including info on complexity. CGI remains last because CGI is only a "simple" option when someone else sets up the CGI security for you, as on old-style cheap hosting plans. Also added several inline sub-document references. check-in: 9f4121db3b user: wyoung tags: server-docs

Merged the lists of socket listener daemons into the Socket Listener section of www/server/index.html: the list of known-working daemons down from the numbered list at the top of the article, and the list of potentially-working daemons up from the <noscript>-cloaked document matrix below. Also reordered the sections from simplest to most complex. check-in: d9ab9c567c user: wyoung tags: server-docs

Reduced the number of columns in the server setup tutorial matrix by collapsing all of those for the OS's default web server down to a single shared column. Also dropped the xinetd column as obsolete. (We still have the explicit xinetd article link above.) check-in: 3f9f1bdf38 user: wyoung tags: server-docs
04:51
Moved inline CSS within www/server/index.html elements up into a <style> block at the top. Then used that to create a more even matrix layout.

Converted the backwards-compatibility sections in www/server.wiki into identified hyperlinks to the new docs, which allows existing external ".../server.wiki#cgi" URLs and such to work without needing the near-empty sections containing only a hyperlink just to anchor the link. check-in: 0bb59100f2 user: wyoung tags: server-docs

Split the HTTP-only parts out of www/tls-nginx.md into a new document discussing only the reverse-proxying of `fossil --scgi` to HTTP using nginx on Debian type OSes.

Broke most of the contents of www/server/wiki out into a series of www/server/*.md articles that are now linked from a checkmark table in its place, which also links to the new www/server/windows/*.md files created to start this branch off.

Enhance markdown to use the same hyperlink target resolving logic as Fossil wiki. That means that wiki page names and check-in and ticket hashes can now be used as markdown hyperlink URLs.

Deferred discussion of data modeling from the intro of fossil-v-git to section 2.3 where it's fully covered. This material now talks more clearly about Fossil's hybrid NoSQL/relational data model, rather than handwave it as "relational". check-in: e299892341 user: wyoung tags: trunk

Remove the SQLITE_ENABLE_DBPAGE_VTAB requirement from external SQLite libraries, as without it only the ".recover" command in "fossil sql" is omitted, and that is an obscure case. check-in: a4d7152517 user: drh tags: trunk

Many improvements to section "2.3 Durable" in fossil-v-git.wiki, largely involving the merger of a near-repeat of the same points down in section 3.1, but also adding more information emphasizing the durability of SQLite DBs in general and Fossil repos in specific. check-in: cd989fed40 user: wyoung tags: trunk

Extracted part of section 2.1 and merged it with the entire prior content of section 2.5 in fossil-v-git as a new section, "2.2 Efficient and Effective".

Updated image-format-vs-repo-size.ipynb to run within the Fossil tree checkout, to run under the Python 3 JupyterLab kernel, and to have the output SVG embedded in the notebook so it shows up in the notebook viewer without needing to run it first.
