Do not acquire check-in locks if autosync is pullonly, as the lock will not be cancelled by a subsequent push and will need to time out. ... (check-in: 0d5251d3 user: drh tags: trunk)
2019-09-17
18:33
Updates to the check-in locking protocol. The check-in lock timeout now defaults to 60 seconds, but the lock is renewed and fork and close-branch tests are repeated after an interactive check-in comment entry. ... (check-in: 18d58801 user: drh tags: trunk)

Rewrote the "One vs. Many Check-outs per Repository" section in fossil-v-git.wiki to focus more on default modes of operation and their consequences in response to nit-picking on the Lobste.rs thread about this article pointing out that you can make Git work in the Fossil style. Defaults matter. ... (check-in: 10a57cec user: wyoung tags: trunk)

11:12
Added section "7.0 Collapsing check-ins throws away valuable information" to rebaseharm.md, linked to from the previous throwaway comment about squashing a whole branch down to a single commit during rebase. This section explains an entire class of harms that come from rebase which wasn't previously covered. ... (check-in: c71fe99f user: wyoung tags: trunk)
10:46
Added section "2.8 Test Before Commit" to the fossil-v-git doc. ... (check-in: e5ba4578 user: wyoung tags: trunk)

2019-09-05
13:33
Remove the "Draft" notation from the rebase document. Link the new document into the documentation index. ... (check-in: 569cc741 user: drh tags: trunk)
03:45
Replaced ASCII art diagrams in the new rebase document with yEd SVG diagrams. Same semantic content. ... (check-in: d6222f89 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
02:33
Upper-case query parameter, POST parameter, and cookie names are converted to lower-case prior to entering them into the parameter set. Before this change, upper-case names were silently rejected. ... (check-in: 19bbd2c5 user: drh tags: trunk)

01:33
An extension of the now-merged code-in-pre branch to allow it to work on /artifact pages and such when the ln parameter is given. This branch is a proof of concept only, for demonstrating a point and experimentation, not to be merged. See the forum discussion for details. ... (Closed-Leaf check-in: a65834a7 user: wyoung tags: code-in-pre-with-ln)
00:41
Fixed a few spelling and grammar errors in www/rebaseharm.md ... (check-in: 708696d8 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
2019-09-04
23:44
Small tweaks to previous. ... (check-in: 1ff41dda user: wyoung tags: trunk)
23:37
Updated caps docs to cover the two "missing" caps on Admin and Setup users better, including this recent decision to deny them cap x. This check-in also fixes a number of links broken within these docs during the stage where we were breaking the docs up and moving things around, which should have been caught before merging this down to trunk. ... (check-in: 8a77f459 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
22:46
Removed 'x' from the string of caps reported for Admin and Setup users in capability_expand(), which is used within the SQLite extension function fullcaps(), which among other things affects the output of /setup_ucap_list. We were still reporting that Admin and Setup users have Private capability despite [bcdc4c55]. ... (check-in: 63581ec8 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
21:01
Remove a spurious line from the header comment of the makeheaders.c utility program. ... (check-in: d5a6ea96 user: drh tags: trunk)

Merge updates from trunk. ... (check-in: 20c64950 user: mistachkin tags: noJsonCgiFlag)
19:56
Setup and Admin users should not automatically have have the Private capability. This reverses the principal change from check-in [b241130222]. ... (check-in: bcdc4c55 user: mistachkin tags: trunk)
19:34
Fix a typo in the Rebase document. ... (check-in: 18e58e29 user: drh tags: trunk)
19:23
Minor edits to Rebase Considered Harmful, for clarity. ... (check-in: a2ea8151 user: drh tags: trunk)

Add initial draft of the "Rebase Considered Harmful" document. ... (check-in: 4f79941f user: drh tags: trunk)
15:41
Update the built-in SQLite to the latest 3.30.0 alpha, as an SQLite beta test. ... (check-in: f8823ae8 user: drh tags: trunk)
10:49
Update the 'reconstruct' command to issue an error instead of a warning on failure importing the list of private artifacts, so no new repository with all-public contents is created. ... (check-in: 8c4ef2c0 user: florian tags: private-branches)
10:34
Update the Private Branches document to explain how to publish private branches (i.e. how to make them non-private), and mention why the --integrate option is ignored when merging private branches. ... (check-in: 86ecdeef user: florian tags: private-branches)
10:09
Reflow the help screens for 'deconstruct' and 'reconstruct', and add the new --keep-private option. ... (check-in: dc8fcc7f user: florian tags: private-branches)
09:53
Enhance the 'deconstruct' and 'reconstruct' commands with a new command-line option to save and restore the list of private artifacts. ... (check-in: 66a14e93 user: florian tags: private-branches)
09:09
Update the 'commit --private' command to only apply default branch name ("private") and color ("orange") if not specified otherwise on the command-line, and if the parent is not already private, to simplify the management of private branches with distinct names. ... (check-in: 836a85cb user: florian tags: private-branches)
08:46
Make sure the check-in manifest of a merge child does not include a +close tag referring to the leaf check-in on a private branch, so as not to generate a missing artifact reference on repository clones without that private branch. ... (check-in: 8268c5da user: florian tags: private-branches)
08:32
Update the 'branch new' command to track the status of private branches in the PRIVATE table, instead of using +private tags. ... (check-in: 70849e76 user: florian tags: private-branches)
00:58
Merged caps-doc branch down to trunk, improving documentation of user capabilities in Fossil. ... (check-in: 779ddefa user: wyoung tags: trunk)

Fixed discussion of "x" cap in www/private.wiki to match its current implementation. ... (check-in: c5561039 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
2019-09-03
21:22
Back out check-in [3ad81c3c499599b4] which was causing sync to fail. ... (check-in: e1962ef6 user: drh tags: trunk)
20:36
Wiki test fixes. ... (check-in: b40f1ac1 user: drh tags: trunk)
20:22
Make calls to db_begin_write() instead of db_begin_transaction() where appropriate. ... (check-in: 3ad81c3c user: drh tags: trunk)
20:20
Include the "js" property in the configuration export for skins. ... (check-in: 498fc87a user: drh tags: trunk)
20:19
When displaying documents, provide class hints about the language of the document to syntax highlighter extensions. ... (check-in: 74b538f6 user: drh tags: trunk)
20:17
Improvements to /vdiff. Provide the branch= query parameter. In the name decoder, all "merge-in:BRANCH" to mean the most recent merge-in to BRANCH from its parent. Provide "Diff" links for branches that show all changes since the most recent merge-in. ... (check-in: e632a092 user: drh tags: trunk)
20:08
Fix a possible UNIQUE constraint violation in the new /vdiff logic. ... (Closed-Leaf check-in: 8e175a67 user: drh tags: vdiff-improvements)
17:17
Adds 'js' to CONFIGSET_SKIN so that skin javascript is included in exports, syncs, etc. Works okay outside of checkouts in my testing. Probably needs some review by drh before being merged. ... (Closed-Leaf check-in: 5d2299d8 user: ckennedy tags: js-skin-export)
2019-09-02
23:26
Added a new section to www/defcsp.md, "Serving Files Within the Limits". It pulls together a bit of info already in the document on the topic and then expands it considerably. The overall message is, "You probably don't have to override the default CSP." ... (check-in: 58883ecc user: wyoung tags: trunk)
19:54
In /artifact and similar pages, put HTML code tag inside pre with class="language-zExt" where zExt is the extension from the artifact's file name, if any. This allows JS code highlighting plugins to style such pre blocks automatically based on file name extension. ... (Closed-Leaf check-in: f3b91714 user: wyoung tags: code-in-pre)
2019-08-31
18:22
Minor typo correction in comment---no functional change. ... (check-in: ab2b8de8 user: andybradford tags: trunk)
18:09
Avoid warning about extra call to db_end_transaction() by returning at the end of a complete block. ... (check-in: 7b2350a8 user: andybradford tags: trunk)
17:09
If there is nothing to stash, issue an error. ... (check-in: d959c48a user: andybradford tags: trunk)
16:42
Merge in latest from trunk. ... (check-in: aa376391 user: andybradford tags: db-begin-txn-updates)
16:23
Merge in trunk latest developments. ... (Closed-Leaf check-in: 08291fec 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: 54fdd1a5 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: 9a2ec393 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: 6a59d33e 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 the capability documentation improvements. Without this checkin, the cap ref doesn't match the code's internal docs. ... (check-in: fd9ba57a 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: 0af0e146 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc)
00:45
Clarified meaning of EmailAlert (7) in cap ref. ... (check-in: 4aceb600 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc)
00:31
Merged in trunk changes ... (check-in: 493254b2 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: f304ba31 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, because some people new to Fossil expect 1:1 mapping and get disappointed when we tell them it just doesn't do that. ... (check-in: b72795a3 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc)
00:17
Fixed some URLs still referring to admin-v-setup.md in its old location. ... (check-in: 182c4d7a 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: 845b4594 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: 4671ddb1 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: 78ad8b74 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc)
22:42
Assorted small improvements to top-level caps doc ... (check-in: f21bfbee 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: 3ac560a2 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc)
19:52
Changed the hamburger menu link href from "#" to "/sitemap" so clicks on it do something useful in the noscript case. ... (check-in: b2379b31 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
16:08
Added 'or' help for checkin/ci alias, per forum request. ... (check-in: f616380d 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: b47b6b69 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 could make it a clearer-looking table, rather than its prior hard-to-read bullet list form. ... (check-in: c6cdf9ce 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: ee901c7b user: wyoung tags: caps-doc)
12:51
Change 'NO_JSON' to lowercase. Remove other branch changes that are now superfluous. ... (check-in: 8baac264 user: mistachkin tags: noJsonCgiFlag)
12:36
Add hyperlinks to the branch diff page from branch timeline and from /info. ... (check-in: 833b220a 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: 72c721ea user: drh tags: noJsonCgiFlag)
07:21
Restore legacy title handling behavior for TH1 docs (changed via check-in [8abeb62737c2b527]). ... (check-in: 42190026 user: mistachkin tags: noJsonCgiFlag)
06:50
Attempt to fix 'CONTENT_TYPE' detection when a suffix, e.g. '; charset=utf-8', is present. ... (check-in: 891bbc6f user: mistachkin tags: noJsonCgiFlag)
05:57
Improve comment. ... (check-in: 316dd394 user: mistachkin tags: noJsonCgiFlag)
05:55
More refinements. ... (check-in: c1f4a846 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: ab0d81f8 user: mistachkin tags: noJsonCgiFlag)
04:15
Make it possible to disable JSON auto-detection in the CGI subsystem. ... (check-in: a7754353 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: 689f7683 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: f4e3abce user: wyoung tags: skin-cap-matching)
02:08
Minor wording change in the header of /vdiff. ... (check-in: 69adb45d 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: b36dc6f1 user: drh tags: vdiff-improvements)
01:55
Rewrote explanation of "o" cap. ... (check-in: 208ca0d7 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: dcd8f1d8 user: drh tags: vdiff-improvements)
01:40
Disentangled discussion of "developer" vs "reader" in capabilities.md. ... (check-in: 869494eb 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: d48dff8f user: wyoung tags: caps-doc)
00:29
Merge in documentation enhancements from trunk. ... (check-in: c1b62c32 user: drh tags: vdiff-improvements)
00:29
Remove an unused subroutine. Fix a minor CSS problem. ... (check-in: 2078c746 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: 6e40f866 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 other cap checks in the skins to make sure they a) match what the C code checks for; and b) match each other. ... (check-in: 9cee8cf5 user: wyoung tags: skin-cap-matching)
2019-08-25
13:24
Added HTTP proxying info to Debian nginx server setup guide. ... (check-in: c6a033ce 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: a4bb92f7 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 there is not a pointless difference between these two nginx configs. ... (check-in: 653e90ca 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: 5a58ac31 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
2019-08-24
18:32
Merge fork ... (check-in: 6c6aae97 user: andygoth tags: trunk)
2019-08-23
12:42

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. ...

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: ba88f4f2 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc)

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: 3b10e644 user: drh tags: trunk)

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. This is on a branch because although it's quite useful already, it could use some work before being merged down. At the barest minimum, there are some unanswered questions in the new doc that need addressing.

This new doc does not replace the existing documentation in the UI. It may be that we end up paring that down a bit now that we have a full doc to refer to, but that is a topic for the forum thread that will appear shortly after this checkin. ... (check-in: 832f107e user: wyoung tags: caps-doc)

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: 09c65d75 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: 739cd872 user: wyoung tags: trunk)

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: 092eeebf user: wyoung tags: trunk)

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.

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.

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 Default CSP". ...

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.
