Changelog

4.0.0 (2019-10-19)

Deprecations and Removals

• The --recreate-search-index option was replaced with the devpi-clear-search-index command.

• Dropped support for Python 2.7.

Features

• project.pt: implement #319 - add link to latest version and summary of latest version to project view

• doc.pt: implement #339: when viewing older documentation, show link to latest and stable documentation.

• implement #346: add support for ‘latest’ and ‘stable’ versions for project version URLs

• version.pt, style.css: implement #347 - show navigation link when newer version is available

• status.pt: Fix #500 - the outside url in +status is now clickable.

• Fix 564: set response headers to not cache anything for “latest” and “stable” documentation URLs.

• index.pt, toxresult.pt, version.pt, style.css: Fix #632 - show warning symbol when no tests were run in tox results.

• The search indexing is now performed in a separate thread. Indexing prioritizes private indexes, then projects downloaded from mirrors and lastly never downloaded projects from mirrors.

• On server start a refresh run for the search index is started automatically. In addition to that the indexing is done in smaller batches, which allows resuming of indexing the large pypi project lists.

• In many cases re-indexing is now avoided.

• The master url in the +status view is now clickable.

• Add new --documentation-path option to set the path where documentation is unzipped to.

• version.pt, common.js: all list like metadata is now collapsed to ~3 lines instead of only classifiers.

• The --recreate-search-index option now just removes the whole index. Upon server restart the index is rebuilt automatically in the background.

• Indexing of mirrors will not trigger a refresh of the simple links for projects which have downloaded releases. This allows quicker indexing for new replicas and in case the search index is rebuilt using --recreate-search-index.

• root.pt: added new view for user

• The path for Whoosh index files can now be specified as an option like this: --indexer-backend whoosh:path=/...

• Indexer backend options can now be specified as a dict in yaml config files.

Bug Fixes

• Fix #567: the pip search view is no longer proxied to the master.

• Pass query string on to documentation iframe, this fixes Sphinx search among other things.

Other Changes

• macros.pt, version.pt, style.css: moved separators to css.

• The minimum supported version of devpi-server is now 5.2.0.

• The interface of update_projects for search indexers has changed. The list of projects is now a list of ProjectIndexingInfo objects instead of dict. To get the dictionary as before, call preprocess_project on the object.

3.5.2 (2019-06-28)

Bug Fixes

• iterate over mirror projects instead of building full list for indexing.

3.5.1 (2019-04-26)

Bug Fixes

• when mirror names are indexed a full reindex was triggered, now only the project names of the mirror are indexed.

• require –offline mode when using –recreate-search-index option. Otherwise reindexing may hang when trying to index a mirror.

• feature #193: adding support for using markdown in package descriptions.

Bug Fixes

• fix #594: fix more url in search results

3.4.1 (2018-09-18)

Bug Fixes
