   1Release 1.4.0
   2=============

   4New features to troubleshoot a git-multimail installation
   5---------------------------------------------------------
   6
   7* One can now perform a basic check of git-multimail's setup by
   8  running the hook with the environment variable
   9  GIT_MULTIMAIL_CHECK_SETUP set to a non-empty string. See
  10  doc/troubleshooting.rst for details.
  11
  12* A new log files system was added. See the multimailhook.logFile,
  13  multimailhook.errorLogFile and multimailhook.debugLogFile variables.
  14
  15* git_multimail.py can now be made more verbose using
  16  multimailhook.verbose.
  17
  18* A new option --check-ref-filter is now available to help debugging
  19  the refFilter* options.
  20
  21Formatting emails
  22-----------------
  23
  24* Formatting of emails was made slightly more compact, to reduce the
  25  odds of having long subject lines truncated or wrapped in short list
  26  of commits.
  27
  28* multimailhook.emailPrefix may now use the '%(repo_shortname)s'
  29  placeholder for the repository's short name.
  30
  31* A new option multimailhook.subjectMaxLength is available to truncate
  32  overly long subject lines.
  33
  34Bug fixes and minor changes
  35---------------------------
  36
  37* Options refFilterDoSendRegex and refFilterDontSendRegex were
  38  essentially broken. They should work now.
  39
  40* The behavior when both refFilter{Do,Dont}SendRegex and
  41  refFilter{Exclusion,Inclusion}Regex are set have been slightly
  42  changed. Exclusion/Inclusion is now strictly stronger than
  43  DoSend/DontSend.
  44
  45* The management of precedence when a setting can be computed in
  46  multiple ways has been considerably refactored and modified.
  47  multimailhook.from and multimailhook.reponame now have precedence
  48  over the environment-specific settings ($GL_REPO/$GL_USER for
  49  gitolite, --stash-user/repo for Stash, --submitter/--project for
  50  Gerrit).
  51
  52* The coverage of the testsuite has been considerably improved. All
  53  configuration variables now appear at least once in the testsuite.
  54
  55This version was tested with Python 2.6 to 3.5. It also mostly works
  56with Python 2.4, but there is one known breakage in the testsuite
  57related to non-ascii characters. It was tested with Git
  581.7.10.406.gdc801, 1.8.5.6, 2.1.4, and 2.10.0.rc0.1.g07c9292.
  59
  60Release 1.3.1 (bugfix-only release)
  61===================================
  62
  63* Generate links to commits in combined emails (it was done only for
  64  commit emails in 1.3.0).
  65
  66* Fix broken links on PyPi.
  67
  68Release 1.3.0
  69=============
  70
  71* New options multimailhook.htmlInIntro and multimailhook.htmlInFooter
  72  now allow using HTML in the introduction and footer of emails (e.g.
  73  for a more pleasant formatting or to insert a link to the commit on
  74  a web interface).
  75
  76* A new option multimailhook.commitBrowseURL gives a simpler (and less
  77  flexible) way to add a link to a web interface for commit emails
  78  than multimailhook.htmlInIntro and multimailhook.htmlInFooter.
  79
  80* A new public function config.add_config_parameters was added to
  81  allow custom hooks to set specific Git configuration variables
  82  without modifying the configuration files. See an example in
  83  post-receive.example.
  84
  85* Error handling for SMTP has been improved (we used to print Python
  86  backtraces for legitimate errors).
  87
  88* The SMTP mailer can now check TLS certificates when the newly added
  89  configuration variable multimailhook.smtpCACerts.
  90
  91* Python 3 portability has been improved.
  92
  93* The documentation's formatting has been improved.
  94
  95* The testsuite has been improved (we now use pyflakes to check for
  96  errors in the code).
  97
  98This version has been tested with Python 2.4 and 2.6 to 3.5, and Git
  99v1.7.10-406-gdc801e7, 2.1.4 and 2.8.1.339.g3ad15fd.
 100
 101No change since 1.3 RC1.
 102
 103Release 1.2.0
 104=============
 105
 106* It is now possible to exclude some refs (e.g. exclude some branches
 107  or tags). See refFilterDoSendRegex, refFilterDontSendRegex,
 108  refFilterInclusionRegex and refFilterExclusionRegex.
 109
 110* New commitEmailFormat option which can be set to "html" to generate
 111  simple colorized diffs using HTML for the commit emails.
 112
 113* git-multimail can now be ran as a Gerrit ref-updated hook, or from
 114  Atlassian BitBucket Server (formerly known as Atlassian Stash).
 115
 116* The From: field is now more customizeable. It can be set
 117  independently for refchange emails and commit emails (see
 118  fromCommit, fromRefChange). The special values pusher and author can
 119  be used in these configuration variable.
 120
 121* A new command-line option, --version, was added. The version is also
 122  available in the X-Git-Multimail-Version header of sent emails.
 123
 124* Set X-Git-NotificationType header to differentiate the various types
 125  of notifications. Current values are: diff, ref_changed_plus_diff,
 126  ref_changed.
 127
 128* Preliminary support for Python 3. The testsuite passes with Python 3,
 129  but it has not received as much testing as the Python 2 version yet.
 130
 131* Several encoding-related fixes. UTF-8 characters work in more
 132  situations (but non-ascii characters in email address are still not
 133  supported).
 134
 135* The testsuite and its documentation has been greatly improved.
 136
 137Plus all the bugfixes from version 1.1.1.
 138
 139This version has been tested with Python 2.4 and 2.6 to 3.5, and Git
 140v1.7.10-406-gdc801e7, git-1.8.2.3 and 2.6.0. Git versions prior to
 141v1.7.10-406-gdc801e7 probably work, but cannot run the testsuite
 142properly.
 143
 144Release 1.1.1 (bugfix-only release)
 145===================================
 146
 147* The SMTP mailer was not working with Python 2.4.
 148
 149Release 1.1.0
 150=============
 151
 152* When a single commit is pushed, omit the reference changed email.
 153  Set multimailhook.combineWhenSingleCommit to false to disable this
 154  new feature.
 155
 156* In gitolite environments, the pusher's email address can be used as
 157  the From address by creating a specially formatted comment block in
 158  gitolite.conf (see multimailhook.from in README).
 159
 160* Support for SMTP authentication and SSL/TLS encryption was added,
 161  see smtpUser, smtpPass, smtpEncryption in README.
 162
 163* A new option scanCommitForCc was added to allow git-multimail to
 164  search the commit message for 'Cc: ...' lines, and add the
 165  corresponding emails in Cc.
 166
 167* If $USER is not set, use the variable $USERNAME. This is needed on
 168  Windows platform to recognize the pusher.
 169
 170* The emailPrefix variable can now be set to an empty string to remove
 171  the prefix.
 172
 173* A short tutorial was added in doc/gitolite.rst to set up
 174  git-multimail with gitolite.
 175
 176* The post-receive file was renamed to post-receive.example. It has
 177  always been an example (the standard way to call git-multimail is to
 178  call git_multimail.py), but it was unclear to many users.
 179
 180* A new refchangeShowGraph option was added to make it possible to
 181  include both a graph and a log in the summary emails.  The options
 182  to control the graph formatting can be set via the new graphOpts
 183  option.
 184
 185* New option --force-send was added to disable new commit detection
 186  for update hook. One use-case is to run git_multimail.py after
 187  running "git fetch" to send emails about commits that have just been
 188  fetched (the detection of new commits was unreliable in this mode).
 189
 190* The testing infrastructure was considerably improved (continuous
 191  integration with travis-ci, automatic check of PEP8 and RST syntax,
 192  many improvements to the test scripts).
 193
 194This version has been tested with Python 2.4 to 2.7, and Git 1.7.1 to
 1952.4.
 196
 197Release 1.0.0
 198=============
 199
 200* Fix encoding of non-ASCII email addresses in email headers.
 201
 202* Fix backwards-compatibility bugs for older Python 2.x versions.
 203
 204* Fix a backwards-compatibility bug for Git 1.7.1.
 205
 206* Add an option commitDiffOpts to customize logs for revisions.
 207
 208* Pass "-oi" to sendmail by default to prevent premature termination
 209  on a line containing only ".".
 210
 211* Stagger email "Date:" values in an attempt to help mail clients
 212  thread the emails in the right order.
 213
 214* If a mailing list setting is missing, just skip sending the
 215  corresponding email (with a warning) instead of failing.
 216
 217* Add a X-Git-Host header that can be used for email filtering.
 218
 219* Allow the sender's fully-qualified domain name to be configured.
 220
 221* Minor documentation improvements.
 222
 223* Add this CHANGES file.
