Review Board 2.0.8 Release Notes¶
Release date: September 24, 2014
Upgrade Notes¶
This release fixes some compatibility issues involving the newly-released Python-Markdown 2.5.
Python-Markdown 2.5 does not work with Python 2.6. Users who have recently installed or upgraded Review Board on Python 2.6 may have noticed several error messages involving “importlib,” which are due to that new release.
Review Board 2.0.8 and higher now install Python-Markdown 2.4.1, which is compatible with Python 2.6.
This release doesn’t contain any new database schema changes.
New Features¶
Clicking Discard Review in the Review dialog now prompts for confirmation. (Bug #3300)
Patch by Justin Maillet.
Added some enhanced debugging for incorrect review request issue counts.
Some people have reported bugs when upgrading to Review Board 2.0.x where the issue counts shown on the dashboard were incorrect. We are working to track those down, and in this release, we’ve made it easier to provide debug information to us.
A new
rb-site manage <path> reset-issue-counts
management command has been added, which will reset the counts for individual review requests, or for all review requests in the database.If you are encountering a review request with broken issue counts, please run:
rb-site manage <path> reset-issue-counts -- --recalculate --verbosity=2 <id>
Where
<path>
is the path to your Review Board site directory, and<id>
is the ID of the review request. This will provide some debug information.If the count for that review request is still incorrect, please file a bug report with the output.
Web API¶
Review Request List Resource now allows admin users to list all users’ unpublished review requests. (Bug #2766)
When querying this resource, pass
?show-all-unpublished=
to specify that all review requests, published or unpublished, should be shown. This requires the user performing the request to have full admin access.Patch by Ryan Done.
