Simplification to the JS used as part of anti-robot defenses. ... (check-in: 08535b22 user: drh tags: trunk)
11:22
Minor code cleanups and comment updates. ... (check-in: d17b5976 user: florian tags: diff-keyboard-navigation)
11:17
Add documentation, thanks @ams for help with wording. An alternative (but not less redundant) approach may be to create a new documentation-only web page to list available keyboard shortcuts for all pages (there's also the global ESC shortcut to close the Hamburger Menu) linked to from the individual command help screens. ... (check-in: 8773bb88 user: florian tags: diff-keyboard-navigation)
2022-09-29
15:19
Correct skintxt2config.c to be able to handle 0-byte input files. ... (check-in: c7c1c4e8 user: stephan tags: trunk)
11:56
Comment updates. ... (check-in: d1d5e99c user: florian tags: diff-keyboard-navigation)
11:30
Since dynamically added CSS classes to hide elements are discarded on back/forward navigation, reset all diff toggle checkboxes to checked to match what is actually visible. An alternative approach is to find the unchecked diff toggles and reapply the CSS classes to hide the corresponding diff blocks. ... (check-in: 4368a1c9 user: florian tags: diff-keyboard-navigation)
09:25
'skin:' CGI config directive now accepts an empty value for consistency with the --skin CLI flag. ... (check-in: 6362a98f user: stephan tags: trunk)
09:13
--skin "" now forces use of the current edited skin and the warning on the /skins page about a forced skin now distinguishes between /draft and --skin ... usage. ... (check-in: 816f6c04 user: stephan tags: trunk)
08:22
Import the latest 3.40.0 alpha version of SQLite into the tree. ... (check-in: fbad2772 user: drh tags: trunk)

add new "Related Work" page linked from the User Links page

Suggested by drh@ with lots of tweaks from wyoung@ ... (check-in: 8ab498bd user: mark tags: trunk)

14:48
Fix scrolling if there's only one diff block. ... (check-in: e41214d2 user: florian tags: diff-keyboard-navigation)
14:24
Implement Javascript-based keyboard navigation for web UI diffs. Shortcuts SHIFT+I or I show or hide all diffs, and P or O show the next or previous diff. See Forum Post a78f44576c for more information. ... (check-in: b7e089e0 user: florian tags: diff-keyboard-navigation)
12:28
improve login-group command documentation and output

Prompted by 58f01f6d92, a7d15cc071, and 1c639bcdea. Clarify semantics of -R|--repository in 'fossil login-group join' and make user output more helpful. While here, trim some trailing whitespace. ... (check-in: 83bc81e8 user: mark tags: trunk)

2022-09-27
20:46 Changes to wiki page "branch/markdown-tagrefs" ... (artifact: 071af69c user: stephan)
14:39
make chatbot message box transparent to avoid collisions

Suggested by mgagnon in /chat. Hint from stephan. ... (check-in: c8b3ec1e user: mark tags: trunk)

13:47
Fix a bug in the chat-robot. ... (check-in: b3f87ef7 user: drh tags: trunk)
11:11
print stash metadata when popping or applying stash

Feature request from Alfred M. Szmidt in ae3ad9c69f. Minor tweak of original patch by stephan@ ... (check-in: 1392710f user: mark tags: trunk)

2022-09-26
22:29
Replaced most of the speculation in the walmode section of the containers doc with a link to the walbanger project, where we'll be answering this question. ... (check-in: 96633067 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
12:08
The g.fJail global variable should always be set whenever a chroot jail has been entered. ... (check-in: 558cef7c user: drh tags: trunk)
08:11

07:08
Cherrypick [5ade6fb863e4], inadvertently checked in on a different branch. ... (check-in: 44c5d029 user: stephan tags: trunk)
06:47
Correct an outdated path and fix a typo reported in the forum. Doc changes only, no code. ... (check-in: 5ade6fb8 user: stephan tags: markdown-tagrefs)
06:43
Update the hyperlink for purchasing a SEE license. ... (check-in: c3ce8a42 user: danield tags: trunk)
2022-09-25
14:18
fix specified file path case in locate_unmanaged_files()

Only insert unmanaged files into the temp sfile table. This now makes the routine behave consistently whether file, directory, or no paths are passed on the command line, and fixes the `fossil changes --extra` bug report in 452ec8fac167. ... (check-in: 39eb451a user: mark tags: trunk)

13:44
tweak `fossil remote` cmd to update the "default" name

Don't delete the current default remote-url when the user invokes the invalid `fossil remote add default` command; instead, output correct usage to update the special "default" symbolic name. Tweak help text to make this more obvious. Prompted by 5748fcb117a99b43. ... (check-in: 2a3e851e user: mark tags: trunk)

07:35
Link keyboard and mouse navigation and enable changing keyboard focus with Ctrl+Click. ... (check-in: 29824137 user: florian tags: timeline-keyboard-navigation)

07:18
Minor changes to option handling for the `ui' command: (A) Abort early with an error message if the specified port number is invalid (instead of later with an assertion failure); (B) Add short form -p for --page; (C) Add short form -B for --nobrowser. ... (check-in: 1431ebae user: florian tags: trunk)
06:50
Prevent the web UI side-by-side diffs and their scrollbars from getting truncated on the right. Forum Post f9becc251c. ... (check-in: 1a668d35 user: florian tags: trunk)
2022-09-23
17:13
Enhancements to the "fossil finfo -i" command such that it only shows the first check-in for the file (unless -v is also used) and so that it shows the modification time as a separate line for easy parsing by scripts. ... (check-in: ac6edb35 user: drh tags: trunk)
16:44
Fix the help text for the previous check-in. ... (check-in: c0162a4f user: drh tags: trunk)
16:44
Fix the "finfo" command so that -r is not required with -i. If the -r is omitted, then "current" is used in its place. ... (check-in: 35c6d15a user: drh tags: trunk)
13:17
Remove an extra newline character from the output of the new "fossil remote hyperlink" command. ... (check-in: 76bc66a9 user: drh tags: trunk)
13:04
Add the "fossil remote hyperlink" and "fossil remote ui" subcommands. ... (check-in: b2e2fc03 user: drh tags: trunk)
2022-09-21
17:14
Backup any unmamaged files that are about to be overwritten by an update or merge. Potentially avoid the loss of a local file if the overwrite warning goes unnoticed, in which case undo is useless. ... (check-in: e99e58c5 user: mgagnon tags: trunk)
16:52
Fix a typo in comment (no code change) ... (check-in: 13561519 user: mgagnon tags: trunk)
2022-09-20
14:13
On the /tkthistory page supply each ticket change item with a corresponding id attribute and make the 'History' button within a submenu of a /tinfo page to link back to that particular element on the /tkthistory page. ... (check-in: 4bb91f38 user: george tags: deltify-tkt-blobs)
13:56
Minor optimization and refactoring. ... (check-in: b2049d64 user: george tags: deltify-tkt-blobs)
13:11 Edit [b8973500074aafd8|b8973500]: Mark "Closed". ... (artifact: b7f7349b user: danield)
13:06 Edit [bb5162fe163175c0|bb5162fe]: Mark "Closed". ... (artifact: 9adb0ad3 user: danield)
2022-09-17
12:45
Add a comment to the tree-view to explain that file ages are relative to the check-in time. ... (check-in: 0fb353c1 user: drh tags: trunk)
2022-09-15
17:48
Merge trunk into markdown-tagrefs branch. ... (check-in: 8ef0347f user: stephan tags: markdown-tagrefs)

Add documentation for chat-timeline-user. ... (check-in: 24c71dfb user: drh tags: trunk)
17:08
Add the chat-timeline-user setting to the 2.20 change log. ... (check-in: 0efd583a user: stephan tags: trunk)
16:58
Added lmtime value to chat-timeline-user's chat messages, using the server's local time, to fix time display in the /chat message popup. ... (check-in: e1ad4992 user: stephan tags: trunk)
15:51
Improved comments on the new chat-timeline-user feature. ... (check-in: c3ed2430 user: drh tags: trunk)
15:35
Improved chat messages for the chat-timeline-robot. ... (check-in: 974cf366 user: drh tags: trunk)
13:40
Improve /tkthistory page: render selected ticket fields as unified diffs. ... (check-in: b75a9d0f user: george tags: deltify-tkt-blobs)
2022-09-14
19:24
Do not require that the chat-timeline robot username be an actual user in the USER table. If the chat-timeline-user config variable exists, then timeline events are announced in chat, regardless. ... (check-in: 1f5474ec user: drh tags: trunk)
13:12
Remove redundant PRE tags on the /wdiff pages. ... (check-in: 0dd5451d user: george tags: deltify-tkt-blobs)
2022-09-13
20:11
Add the ability to designate a timeline robot user. If such a user exists, and if chat is enabled, then notifications of all timeline events appear in chat, from the robot user. ... (check-in: e9d7cf3e user: drh tags: trunk)
2022-09-09
18:26
Minor improvement to SEE integration. ... (check-in: 660c2b15 user: mistachkin tags: trunk)
17:22
Sync up custom makefile for MinGW. ... (check-in: a3ed29ea user: mistachkin tags: trunk)
2022-09-07
09:11
Mentioned containerd+nerdctl in place of runc in the containers doc. A tightened-up version of the prior runc and crun sections are now collected below the Podman section. This gives a better flow: each successive option is smaller than the last, excepting only nspawn, which is a bit bigger than crun. (We leave nspawn last because we can't get it to work!) ... (check-in: 457c14a4 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
07:35
Updated the "nojail" patch for our Dockerfile to track the recent changes: rename back from Dockerfile.in and the layer refactoring. It does essentially the same thing as before. ... (check-in: 19abf0ac user: wyoung tags: trunk)
2022-09-06
22:25
Merge trunk into remote-add-fix branch. ... (Leaf check-in: baf635cb user: stephan tags: remote-add-fix)
2022-09-05
14:03
Update the built-in SQLite to the latest 3.40.0 alpha. ... (check-in: 9d12e964 user: drh tags: trunk)
08:15
Broke the Dockerfile up into more layers to allow better local caching at build time. Further optimized build time by producing the Fossil source tarball from the local repo instead of hitting the home site if you use the container-image target, since we can be reasonably certain you're working from a repo checkout and thus have all the info available here locally already. ... (check-in: 1da464ee user: wyoung tags: trunk)
01:42
Expanded the paragraph on WAL mode interactions in the container doc into a full section, placed higher up, immediately after the first use of Docker's "--volume" flag, to explain why we don't map just the repo DB file, but the whole directory it sits in. Even if we later convince ourselves WAL is safe under this scenario, it'll be conditional at best, so some remnant of this section must remain, no matter which way the experiments go. ... (check-in: 698587d4 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
2022-09-04
23:46
Renamed Dockerfile.in back to Dockerfile so it can be used as-is on non-autosetup systems. Realized that we can pass the Fossil checkin hash prefix in as a build arg instead of regenerating the file on disk from auto.def. If you use the Dockerfile as-shipped, you get a "trunk" build, which risks a stale cache — it thinks it already has a tarball by that name and helpfully refuses to pull it again — but at least Windows users get *something* without hand-hacking the file. ... (check-in: b0c9c26a user: wyoung tags: trunk)
22:20
Added a /jail/log directory to the container so someone can pass --errorlog and such to the Fossil instance and have a place to put it. It also acts as a mountpoint for appending to a log out on the host. ... (check-in: ed50ceee user: wyoung tags: trunk)
21:58
/dev permissions were too tight in the container. They're still tighter than on a stock Ubuntu box, but they should suffice for Fossil's needs. ... (check-in: 8eeb95e1 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
12:55
Restricted the container listeners to localhost in section 6 of the containers doc, and mentioned a few other items related to reverse proxying with nginx. ... (check-in: c9ab736f user: wyoung tags: trunk)
12:14
Folded info from an exchange with the Podman devs into the container doc. ... (check-in: 80f4a1dd user: wyoung tags: trunk)
11:36
Added section numbers to the containers doc (it was getting confusing) and added a few internal fragment IDs. ... (check-in: 4d51d524 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
11:26
Finished all the new topics planned for the new containers doc, adding sections on rootful Podman containers and on building via Docker but running via Podman, using Docker Hub as an intermediary to avoid building on the remote host. ... (check-in: 9c96e499 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
09:27
Sanitized a local port number out of previous ... (check-in: 3dfa4581 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
09:25
Added my sad tale of failure and woe with systemd-nspawn to the container docs, both as a warning to those who follow, and as a cry for help to someone who can make this work. I can't be bothered to spend more time on it, but there's no point throwing the work away. ... (check-in: 1e8c6655 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
09:15
Documented another cause to modify the "m" variable in the runc examples in the container docs. ... (check-in: bf503088 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
08:09
Added more jq filters to the runc examples to remove further problematic things left in the automatic conversion from the Docker container configuration file to the one we provide to runc. ... (check-in: 4e8c7479 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
07:15
Worked through some difficulties here in applying the runc method on remote systems, then documented what I learned in the containers doc. ... (check-in: 56f4e2ce user: wyoung tags: trunk)
06:28
Small fix to previous ... (check-in: d5695c8e user: wyoung tags: trunk)
06:02
Expanded the runc section of the container doc to cover "bundle" terminology and to show a method for rsyncing the bundle across to a remote host. Also explained why this is a bad idea unless you've got a rather constrained use case, lest people avoid using podman/docker in places where they could provide real value. ... (check-in: f9f13ce7 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
04:32
Documented the runc and crun options for running a container, including the cryptic method for exporting an OCI bundle from Docker, allowing you to use both together: Docker Desktop on your big dev box in the office, then one of the two lightweight runtimes out in the cloud. ... (check-in: c9431ef4 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
02:35
Added explicit instructions for patching the Dockerfile for the nojail/podman method and for mapping a single Fossil repo into the container rather than a directory. Also included my best current advice on using WAL mode in these contexts. ... (check-in: 87a23d2a user: wyoung tags: trunk)
02:15
Removed a TODO-based section of the new containers doc that wasn't meant to be checked in yet. Made a few improvements to the new Podman material as well. ... (check-in: 5adf6c40 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
02:01
Added the "Lightweight Alternatives to Docker" section to the new containers doc, currently limited to a tutorial on converting the stock Dockerfile to work under Podman in its default mode, creating a rootless container. This brings in the second container-related file at the root of the repo, the patch file for this, so we don't have to maintain two nearly-parallel Dockerfiles. As a bonus, it allows us to point to the patch from the prose, making explicit what we had to change. ... (check-in: f0399ea9 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
01:53
Moved the busybox-config file from tools/ into a new containers/ subdirectory. We were using that as a junk-drawer directory, for lack of a better place to put it. Now that we're about to have a second container-related file in the repo, that weak excuse is wearing thin. ... (check-in: b08e2bb7 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
01:39
Referencing the new containers.md file from Dockerfile.in so we can remove a big redundant block comment from it. While in there, made a few style tweaks that will help the ongoing container document expansion. ... (check-in: be8f721d user: wyoung tags: trunk)
2022-09-03
23:34
Extracted the Docker containers material from www/build.wiki and moved it into a new document dedicated to the topic, containers.md. It was already pushing the bounds of how much info we want to provide in a single section of that doc, and it's about to get bigger.

As part of the conversion from wiki format to Markdown, did another edit pass on the doc, improving a few things along the way.

Dropped the "docker-" prefix from all internal IDs, as we no longer need them to disambiguate references to other parts of the build doc. ... (check-in: 7129dc98 user: wyoung tags: trunk)

2022-09-01
16:05
Address builtin_deliver_multiple_js_files() endless loop reported in forum post a9a60fab07. ... (check-in: 76c9bbb3 user: stephan tags: trunk)
10:52
Add aliases as a new command type and display these next to the corresponding main command in /help. Make sure that for the 'test-all-help' command and webpage each help string is output at most once. ... (check-in: db708494 user: danield tags: trunk)
01:29
Merge in trunk. Resolve a shadowed var in dispatch.c which led to an assigned-but-not-used warning. ... (Closed-Leaf check-in: a257fbd9 user: stephan tags: help-aliases-unique)
