Auth-token: allow other authentication types to use auth-token. Accounts associated with other types like LDAP, or PAM can now use auth-tokens to authenticate via RhodeCode.
Performance#
Core: made all RhodeCode components gevent compatible. RhodeCode can now make use of async workers. You can handle dozens of concurrent operations using a single worker. This works only with new HTTP backend.
Core: added new very efficient HTTP backend can be used to replace pyro4.
Core: Set ‘gzip_responses’ to false by default. We no longer require any gzip computations on backed, thus speeding up large file transfers.
UI: optimized events system for JavaScript to boost performance on large html pages.
VCS: moved VCSMiddleware up to pyramid layer as wrapper around pylons app. Skips few calls, and allows slightly faster clones/pulls and pushes.
Fixes#
VCS: add vcsserver cache invalidation to mercurial backend. Fixes multi-process problems after Mercurial 3.8.X release with server side merges.
VCS: clear caches on remap-and-rescan option.
VCS: improved logic of updating commit caches in cases of rebases.
Caches: Add an argument to make the cache context thread scoped. Brings support to gevent compatible handling.

Full text search: whoosh schema uses now bigger ints, fixes #4035
File browser: optimized cached tree calculation, reduced load times by 50% on complex file trees.
Styling: #4086 fixing bug where long commit messages did not wrap in file view.
SVN: Ignore the content length header from response, fixes #4112. Fixes the “svn: E120106: ra_serf: The server sent a truncated HTTP response body.”
