Upgrading from Prior Versions
Please see the separate "upgrade" file, a peer to this file.
License
Please see the separate "license" file, a peer to this file.
Known Limitations
Access Control
Older versions of the Perforce Server (before 2013.1/659207) lack
the 'dm.keys.hide' configuration setting. Swarm stores much of its
metadata in keys in Perforce (e.g. comments, activity, projects).
By default these keys can be read from and written to by any user
with review access.
If using a new enough server, run 'p4 configure set dm.keys.hide=2'
to require admin access to read and write keys.
LibreOffice
Due to issues with LibreOffice's "headless" mode on the Mac
platform, Swarm cannot display DOC, PPT, XLS and RTF file formats
if it is installed on the Mac platform.
Task Stream Reviews
Pre-commit reviews in a task stream are not yet supported.
Trigger script for Windows
We include a trigger script for both Linux/Mac and Windows;
however, the Windows variant currently lacks support for the
'enforce' (enforce that submits are tied to an approved Swarm
review) and 'strict' (ensure the content of submits matches the
content of their associated approved Swarm review) trigger types.
Trigger table entries with '%quote%' not supported on 2010.2
The Swarm trigger scripts (found in p4-bin/scripts) document the
trigger table entries to add, making use of '%quote%' to surround
the pathname to the script; however, '%quote%' is not supported on
2010.2 Perforce Servers (they are harmless though). If you're
running 2010.2, ensure there are no spaces in the path to the
trigger script.
2014.2 RPM Package Upgrade Issue
Upgrades from 2014.2 RPM packages are incorrectly treated as new
installations by the packaging system. This is due to the package
being renamed in 2014.3. Minor configuration issues might result.
RHEL/CentOS 7.x Support
Multiple issues prevent Swarm RPM packages from installing
correctly on RedHat Enterprise Linux, or CentOS, versions 7.0 or
higher.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Major new functionality in 2015.2
#1071421, #1203684, #1204593, #1206600, #1207516, #1207537 (Bug #64896)
Comments are now editable. If you are logged in as the user that
authored a comment, you will now see an 'Edit' link in the comment
footer. Clicking this link presents an in-place edit form that
allows modification of the comment body and attachments.
#1206282, #1207388 (Bugs #79595, #79596)
Added localizations for Simplified Chinese and Korean.
Incoming JA, KO, and ZH-CN localizations from AlphaCRC, along with
changes to the assembleLocaleData.php script to process the new
languages.
#1100113, #1205196, #1206305, #1206658 (Bugs #79174, #70714)
Added support for multi-site deployments. Swarm is now compatible
with edge and commit servers. Use of the new Perl-based trigger
is required.
#1099584, #1101368 (Bugs #75355, #75653, #76342, #77572)
Added a new version of the Swarm trigger implemented in Perl.
The usage of this trigger is compatible with the existing bash
trigger. The new version of the trigger adds support for edge
servers and fixes a bug with the strict enforcement mode and ktext
files.
Minor new functionality in 2015.2
#1212292 (Bug #80033)
Updated the Swarm trigger package to use the new Perl trigger.
#1207511 (Bug #79934)
Changed the subject for change submit email notifications from
'Change @54321' to 'Commit @54321'.
#1206503, #1207071 (Bug #78167)
IP protections emulation now includes proxy rules. Previously,
proxy rules were not taken into account. Now, we treat Swarm
as an intermediary and apply proxy rules according to the end
user's IP address.
#1206494 (Bug #78996)
Added an option to limit configuration of project branches to
admin users. With the projects > edit_branches_admin_only option
set to true, only admins are able to configure branches.
#1205521, #1205762 (Bug #72454)
We now list jobs and changed files in review email notifications.
#1204727, #1207016 (Bugs #78995, #78996)
Added an option to limit editing project names to admin users.
With the projects > edit_name_admin_only option set to true, only
admins are able to rename projects.
#1202977 (Bug #79396)
Added an option to the Swarm trigger to skip the enforce and strict
checks if the change only contains files of the specified type(s).
File types to skip can be specified via the EXEMPT_EXTENSIONS
config option.
#1202975 (Bug #79609)
Moderators now receive email notification for commits and reviews
against branches they moderate even if they are not members of the
affected projects.
#1198459, #1198806, #1206279 (Bug #79295)
Refreshed the login page. Added a nice background image of some
fine folks having coffee and doing important creative work.
#1197879, #1197890, #1198475 (Bug #66465)
Moved the project edit button to the project toolbar and renamed it
to 'Settings'. Tweaked the project form to render with the project
toolbar and sidebar when editing.
#1171636 (Bug #70542)
Swarm now generates host-unlocked tickets on login. This is needed
to integrate with other Perforce services like p4-search.
#1171629 (Bug #79944)
Tweaked line hash handling (ie. #l123) to position the targeted
line 1/4 of the way down the page. Previously it was positioned
100px down the page which often felt too high.
#1149485 (Bug #78994)
Added an option to the Swarm trigger to skip the enforce and strict
checks if the change contains more than a given number of files.
The number of files can be specified via the new EXEMPT_FILE_COUNT
config option.
#1126994, #1144472, #1206760 (Bug #79386)
Fixed a performance problem that could occur with large numbers
of users, groups and projects. With 5000 users, 5000 groups and
500 projects load times for the project listing have been reduced
by >20x.
#1099546, #1100888, #1101371, #1101414 (Bug #79315)
Simplified the email notification template. The revised template
eliminates the grey border and reduces margins.
#1072284, #1197886 (Bug #79214)
Renamed the 'History' tab and 'History' links to 'Commits'.
#1071674, #1073354 (Bug #79203)
Comment counts now reflect the number of open (non-archived)
comments. Hovering over the number of comments shows the number
of archived comments. Previously we only showed the total number
of comments for a given topic.
#1069597 (Bug #79182)
Improved the visibility of 'more context' rows. We now render a
horizontal grey line help delineate diff chunks.
#1068547, #1209330 (Bug #73003)
Updated rules for review transitions to optionally deny authors
approving their own reviews. If the reviews > disable_self_approve
option is true, then authors are not able to approve their own
reviews (even if they are also moderators).
#1067114 (Bug #76362)
Imagick module now converts ".tif" files. Previously, only the
".tiff" extension was recognized.
Bugs fixed in 2015.2 Patch 1 (since 2015.2/1223788)
#1235955, #1236887 (Bug #80784)
Fix an issue where downloading files could consume excessive
memory under some configurations due to output buffering.
#1228298 (Bug #80404)
Fixed an issue where the follow project button did not work due to
an invalid link.
#1209988 (Bug #79984)
Fixed a bug where the count of project followers was null in the
project sidebar.
#1209708 (Bug #79003)
Updated P4PHP binaries compiled against P4API 2015.1/1126382.
Bugs fixed in 2015.2
#1214397 (Bug #80087)
Fixed a problem where Swarm could continuously reload a review if
it had unexpected commit-status data (due to a race condition).
#1208398 (Bug #76535)
Fixed a bug where OVA setup script did not work with SSL enabled
Perforce servers.
#1207465 (Bug #79269)
Fixed a bug where our handling of Emojis was not compatible with
newer versions of Gemoji.
#1207464 (Bug #79856)
Fixed a bug where some of our 'infinitely scrolling' lists were not
loading more items. At some zoom levels Chrome reported a lower
than expected scroll position. This caused our code to conclude the
user had not reached the bottom of the page. Now we consider the
user to have scrolled to the bottom if they are within a couple of
pixels.
#1206727 (Bug #79800)
Fixed a bug where attempting to archive a specific version of a
file resulted in a 500 error.
#1205188 (Bug #79945)
Fixed an issue where the project save button could be erroneously
enabled if a project name is entered and user data has not yet
loaded (despite having no project members).
#1152722, #1205188 (Bug #79945)
Fixed a bug where the project save button could be enabled when
it should be disabled. Specifically, this could occur when the
list of users had not yet loaded, or while waiting to redirect
to a newly created or updated project page.
#1066846 (Bugs #74987, #76629)
Fixed a bug where file and directory names could be missing
characters if they contained non-ascii bytes and the web-server
was using to a non-UTF-8 locale.
We now detect the available system locales and explicitly select
one that supports UTF-8.
#1065005 (Bug #78165)
Fixed a bug where notification emails were not threading properly
in Microsoft Outlook. Outlook uses a non-standard 'Thread-Index'
header to group 'conversations' and Swarm was not sending this
header.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Major new functionality in 2015.1
#1024336, #1027042, #1035289, #1035631, #1039648 (Bug #66715)
Added support for localization. User-facing strings now run
through a translation component that supports string replacement,
escapement and pluralization. The default and fallback locales can
be set in the configuration file. The user's locale is detected
from the browser's HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE header automatically
(this behavior can be disabled).
Both the web browser and the web server support translation.
The same methods are available in each environment and behave
in the same way. The same messages are available in both
contexts and whichever locale is configured or detected on
the server will be selected in the browser.
#993239, #1003694, #1029826, #1034069, #1038235 (Bug #71596)
Files and folders can now be downloaded as ZIP archives.
Any depot path can be archived, however, it must not be larger
than the archives => 'max_input_size' setting. The default value
for this setting is 512 MB.
Archives are built in the background and a progress bar is
presented to the user as files are synced and compressed.
Each archive is cached for 12 hours (by default) before being
erased. This ensures that subsequent requests to download the
same archive go quickly.
The archives => 'archive_timeout' setting controls how long
a process can spend building a ZIP archive (default is 30m).
#1034946, #1035427, #1039713 (Bugs #66965, #77519)
We now limit the number of files displayed in a changelist.
Previously if you viewed a particularly large change (many
thousands of files) Swarm might run out of memory. Now limit
the number of files displayed to 1000 (by default). This can be
adjusted via the p4 => 'max_changelist_files' setting.
If the P4D server is 2014.1+ the number of files will be limited
in Perforce. Otherwise they will be limited in Swarm. In the
latter case, Swarm can still run out of memory on large changes.
However, the threshold has been raised because the list of files
is trimmed fairly early.
Minor new functionality in 2015.1
#1038843 (Bug #77610)
Enhanced JIRA integration to better find references to issues
when they are surrounded by punctuation. Specifically, Swarm
now detects JIRA issues that are wrapped in round brackets '()'
and curly braces '{}'.
#1033167 (Bug #78159)
Improved the XHProf module to automatically clean-up old report
files. Previously if XHProf was enabled, the number of log files
would continue to grow over time. Due to their large size these
files could end up consuming a significant amount of disk space.
Note: XHProf is a profiler developed by Facebook.
#1011531 (Bug #77468)
Added a reviews => 'commit_timeout' setting to provide control
over how long processes can spend submitting files to Perforce.
By default this is set to 30 minutes.
#1006502 (Bug #67720)
We now detect errors connecting to Perforce and report them as 503
(service unavailable). This should assist in debugging p4 port,
user and password problems.
#1003872, #1005554 (Bug #78347)
Minor visual refresh. User avatars now appear rounded. Rows in
tables no longer appear with alternating background colors.
These changes are purely aesthetic.
#1001768, #1006500 (Bug #77277)
Added a notice to the top of the home page if there are no
workers running. This should assist in debugging a common server
configuration problem.
#991098 (Bug #76671)
Improved the rules governing review state transitions. Authors
are now permitted to approve or reject their own reviews if they
are branch moderators.
Bugs fixed in 2015.1
#1039199 (Bug #74656)
Fixed an issue where version 1.1 of the web-services API added
a new required reviewers field and erroneously made it available
to version 1.0 of the API. We no longer accept required reviewers
on v1.0.
#1035544, #1035560 (Bug #66917)
Fixed an issue that can cause a commit to be partially processed.
In some cases if a user unshelved files in a review and one or
more of those files had pending resolves, Swarm would be unable to
remove files from the review and would abort processing the commit.
If the server version is 2014.2+, we now use the -f flag to ensure
that we are able to remove shelved files. Additionally, we ignore
the error that will occur if this situation arises on an older
version of P4D.
#1033935 (Bug #78332)
The blame button is now disabled for files that have no content.
Previously an error would occur if blame was used on an empty file.
#1022486 (Bug #76571)
Fixed javascript error occurring when switching to History tab
while viewing a file in Swarm.
#1022324 (Bug #77803)
Removed legacy rewrite rules for adding tasks to the queue.
These rules were left there temporarily for backwards
compatibility. Currently, the tasks are added to the queue via
posting to http://<swarm-host>/queue/add/<swarm-token> that has a
separate rewrite rule.
#1019647 (Bug #77678)
Fixed a bug where the swarm-trigger's optional 'strict' and
'enforce' modes did not work against a unicode enabled server.
#1016421 (Bug #71596)
Fixed an issue where progress bar status text was not legible until
the bar was at least as wide as the text. Now the text appears in
black over the background and white over the finished portion of
the progress bar.
#1011943 (Bug #78436)
Fixed a performance regression where the projects sidebar could
take a long time to load. This was most prominent when there was
a bad link between Swarm and the Perforce server. In some cases,
the projects sidebar now loads 8x faster.
#1006678 (Bug #77394)
Improved validation of branches in project configuration.
Previously the server would accept branches that had no paths
defined. Now the server-side validation matches the client-side
validation and such branches produce an error.
#1003822 (Bug #78437)
Attempting to access the '/view' or '/download' URIs for a folder
(not a file) now produces a 404 response.
#997596, 1015136 (Bug #77206)
Minor aesthetic fixes. Adjusted the position of popover and tooltip
arrows when the browser's view is magnified. Improved the contrast
of keyboard shortcut hints.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Major new functionality in 2014.4
#982485 (Bug #76736)
Swarm is now distributed under a BSD-style two-clause license.
#965185 (Bug #76239)
Performance has been significantly improved for sites with a
large number of protections entries. This should be particularly
noticeable when browsing files.
#905488, #962547 (Bug #73830)
Added options to disable sending emails to all project members for
commits and new review requests. The project edit page now has two
checkboxes that can control project notification emails.
Minor new functionality in 2014.4
#986364 (Bug #76961)
Added 'apiVersions' to the output of the 'version' endpoint. This
field includes a list of all of the api versions supported by the
instance of Swarm (e.g. 1, 1.1).
#970399 (Bug #70284)
It is now possible to limit the range of changes shown on the
history tab to a specific range using change numbers, dates,
labels, etc.
#968015 (Bug #66742)
Project creation can be limited to only users under specific
group(s) by setting 'add_project_groups' under the 'security'
config. This feature is disabled by default.
#967909 (Bug #76291)
Swarm can now be configured to leave reviews in an approved state
even if they are updated with modified files. By default, reviews
will still revert to 'needs review' when they are updated with
modified files. To have reviews stay approved even when modified
files are added set 'unapprove_modified' to false under the
'reviews' configuration.
#965024 (Bug #74656)
It is now possible to specify required reviewers when creating
reviews via the API.
Bugs fixed in 2014.4 Patch 1 (since 2014.4/988814)
#1000792 (Bug #77218)
Fixed an issue where the workers could stop running if upgrading
from 2014.2 via RPM packages.
#991899, #992629 (Bug #77048)
Fixed an issue where the RPM packages could erroneously disable
the Perforce PHP extension on upgrade.
#990382 (Bug #76971)
Fixed an issue where the RPM packages did not require the DOM
or mbstring extensions needed for RSS feeds and multi-byte strings.
Bugs fixed in 2014.4
#986536 (Bug #76569)
Fixed a problem where buttons did not always disable properly when
submitted. This only affected some browsers and appeared to be
caused by a race condition between the click and blur events.
#985713 (Bug #76963)
Fixed an issue with our icon sprites. Previously when scaling up
your browser view, some icons would erroneously show pixels from
adjacent icons. Now the sprites have generous spacing to avoid this
issue.
#972442 (Bug #76382)
Fixed an issue where the submit button on the "Add a Commit" and
"Already Committed" dialogs could erroneously stay disabled
after a change had been selected.
#968046, #969029 (Bug #74760)
When emulating IP protections, enabled by default, Swarm will
now correctly treat protection entries as as case-insensitive
when dealing with a case-insensitive Perforce server.
#968037 (Bug #75488)
Fixed an issue where @mentioned and @*mentioned users were not
added as reviewers when creating a review using the API.
#967896, #967998 (Bug #73701)
Fixed an issue where committing to a streams depot via the Swarm
web interface could erroneously report 'No files to submit'.
#950565 (Bug #72392)
Fixed an issue where LibreOffice could become unresponsive.
Generating doc previews should now be significantly more reliable.
#939315 (Bug #74463)
When a 'strict' or 'enforce' Swarm trigger fails due to bad
credentials, include the active P4PORT setting in the error message
to help diagnose problems more easily.
#933049, #933477 (Bug #74860)
Updating an approved review with unchanged ktext files will no
longer cause it to erroneously revert to the needs review state.
Note, this fix only works when operating against a 2012.2 or
newer Perforce server.
#898943 (Bug #72908)
Fixed an issue where the horizontal scrollbar could disappear if
a collapsed file toggled between side-by-side and inline diff.
#897986 (Bug #66554)
Fixed an issue where logging in to comment on the left hand side
of a side-by-side diff would collapse the comment row.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Major new functionality in 2014.3 Patch 2 (since 2014.3/958056)
#967594 (Bug #75006)
Swarm is now free of charge for all Perforce users.
A Swarm license file is no longer required for operation.
Major new functionality in 2014.3
#890602 (Bug #66725)
Added the option to show 10 more lines of context on diffs by
clicking on the blank row that separates the diffs.
#889932 (Bug #73703)
When a review is updated with modified files, existing votes will
now be marked as 'stale'. Stale votes will be shown with a faded
icon and will not count towards up-votes or down-votes.
#889492 (Bug #63260)
It is now possible to mark files in reviews as 'read'. To mark a
file as read, click the 'eye' button on the far right of the
file header. The read flag is remembered independently for each
user along with the version and file digest information. If the
contents of the file change, the 'read' flag automatically clears.
This feature can be helpful when reviewing lots of files.
#884641, #887942, #889744, #890743 (Bug #63263)
Swarm now supports treating comments as light-weight tasks. Tasks
can be marked as 'addressed' and may optionally be 'verified'.
#877136 (Bug #73157)
If a change has been associated to a review, Swarm will always
update the review when files are shelved or the change is
committed.
Previously, if the #review-123 or [review-123] style keyword
wasn't present, the review would not have been updated.
#854977, #863042, #873042, #875837, #876579, #889563 (Bug #70664)
Swarm now has an API that exposes and documents various tasks
that were previously difficult to accomplish.
The API supports listing reviews, retrieving information about an
individual review, creating a review from an existing pending or
submitted change, adding a change to a review (making it the new
Head revision of that review), listing projects, and creating new
entries in the Activity list.
Authentication is handled using standard HTTP Basic Auth, with
either a password or a ticket. Note that passwords will not work
in higher-security configurations, so a ticket may be required.
Minor new functionality in 2014.3 Patch 1 (since 2014.3/896879)
#957494 (Bug #74292)
Added support for optional POST params when configuring automated
tests on a project. Data can be specified in either get=param
style or as {"json" : "values"}
Minor new functionality in 2014.3
#886023 (Bug #73067)
Comment attachments will now be cached by the browser for 12 hours.
This will decrease jumpiness when rendering attached images.
#882741 (Bug #73058)
The Swarm cron script now supports starting workers on SSL-enabled
Swarm hosts that utilize a self-signed certificate.
#879274 (Bugs #62048, #69646, #71743, #72202)
The Reviews page now updates the URL to reflect search terms. This
allows users to bookmark or share searches and ensures the search
results are shown correctly when navigating browsers history.
#878436 (Bug #73357)
Swarm will now linkify occurrences of "changelist <#>" in comments
and changelist descriptions.
#878206, #878814, #879346, #879579 (Bug #72736)
The Swarm OVA is now built using Swarm packages. This allows the
user to more easily upgrade Swarm.
#875126 (Bug #66253)
The jobs page now updates the URL to reflect search terms. This
allows users to bookmark or share searches and ensures the search
results are shown correctly when navigating browsers history.
#871859 (Bug #66355)
Dropdown menus in Swarm can now be operated via the keyboard.
#870337, #870357 (Bugs #70905, #71325, #72767)
Several enhancements have been made to the Swarm JIRA module. JIRA
Swarm links now include a snippet of the change/review description.
Additionally, editing a submitted change description or
adding/removing jobs on a change or review will update JIRA Swarm
links. Note, old links are not automatically updated to include
descriptions.
#862937, #870621 (Bug #69205)
Swarm now has a default tab-size of 4 in Chrome, Firefox and
Safari. Internet Explorer does not support tab-size and will
still display a tab width of 8.
#860398 (Bug #66357)
Added a 'system' avatar for activity not associated with a
particular user (for example when tests pass or fail).
#860346 (Bug #73032)
Swarm now allows changes by specific users to be ignored from the
perspective of starting and updating reviews. This is enabled by
specifying 'ignored_users' under the 'reviews' config.
#860321 (Bug #73057)
Mainlines are now listed first under the Review queue's branch
filter.
#855740 (Bug #67654)
Added support for rendering SVG images in file preview, file diffs
and comment attachments.
#853423 (Bug #72412)
The #review keyword is now more forgiving of nearby punctuation.
#848771 (Bug #72359)
Swarm now automatically reverts review state back to 'Needs Review'
when approved reviews are updated with modified files.
#846902 (Bug #72448)
Added a swarm of bees that fly around your cursor on the error
page. As you move your mouse more bees surround your cursor. Over
time, if you hold your mouse still, the bees go away.
#842916, #851529 (Bug #72559)
We now do a case insensitive lookup for @mentioned jobs.
#842660 (Bug #73720)
Basic Auth is now a supported means of authentication. This means
that actions which previously required 2 steps (performing a login,
writing the resulting cookie to a cookie jar, and then performing
the actual action) can now be streamlined into a single request.
The username must match a valid perforce user with permissions to
perform the action, and the password can be a valid ticket or the
user's password.
Note: Some p4d security levels only allow the use of tickets in
this context.
#840855 (Bug #72696)
Upgraded jQuery to 1.11.1 and added the jQuery sourcemap.
#839881 (Bug #72704)
Adjusted the sorting of files and directories when browsing to put
hidden (e.g. '.foo') files and directories last.
#836802 (Bug #72385)
For inline comments, the row will now collapse when the last open
comment is archived.
Bugs fixed in 2014.3 Patch 2 (since 2014.3/958056)
#967444 (Bug #73582)
Fixed an issue where the Debian packages could fail to properly
install the Perforce PHP extension. The Debian packages now work
correctly on Ubuntu 13.10, 14.04, 14.10.
Bugs fixed in 2014.3
#893456 (Bug #73882)
Fixed an issue where URL-encoded characters could erroneously show
up in filenames under the activity feed or comments tab.
#892728 (Bug #73833)
Logging in with the incorrect cAsE user id on a case insensitive
p4d will no longer prevent transitioning and approving reviews.
#892681 (Bug #73832)
Fixed an issue where using characters like % and # in your filename
would cause errors when trying to show full context.
#892564 (Bug #73824)
Fixed an issue where placeholder text in IE erroneously acted as
default values for new inline comments under sideways diff mode.
#892532 (Bug #73826)
Fixed an issue where the comments could overlay code lines if the
comment was wide enough to wrap and diff scrollbars were showing.
#891999 (Bug #73759)
Swarm will display a warning if thread-safe PHP is detected. This
is because P4PHP is does not support threaded operation.
#891941 (Bug #71531)
Ensure all emails are set to use UTF-8 encoding so extended
characters display properly.
#890428 (Bug #71549)
Attempting to commit a review with out of date files no longer logs
an exception. An error is still shown to the user in the Swarm UI.
#890422 (Bug #72918)
If Swarm encounters a task file it cannot delete; it will no
longer process it and will abort the worker. This will prevent
endlessly reprocessing the task.
#890342, #892319 (Bug #73718)
The windows trigger script now wraps the path to curl in quotes
allowing curl.exe to be under a path with spaces.
#888871 (Bug #73599)
Fixed an issue where using the context menu to paste content
into the comment form would fail to enable the post button.
#887895 (Bug #71805)
Adding a new comment will no longer show files that were attached
to a previously posted comment.
#886698 (Bug #73581)
Performance improvements for rendering larger files in IE.
Performance was increased by about 30% for the rendering of the
side-by-side Diff mode. For files with more than 1000 lines this
can still be very slow, we plan to continue making improvements.
#880741 (Bug #65586)
Introduced tab history tracking for IE9. Previously IE9 would load
the correct tabs for urls with tab ids but would not insert tab
ids when navigating tabs in Swarm.
#879459 (Bug #67480)
ARIA labels have been added to the filter buttons on the Reviews
Queue in order to expose their meaning to screen readers.
#877109 (Bug #73296)
Swarm will no longer enter an endless loop when the 'swarm' group
references recursive sub-groups.
#873881 (Bug #73084)
Fixed an issue where users would sometimes be required to login to
comment despite having recently logged in.
#863379 (Bug #66712)
Swarm will no longer fail to update reviews when the Swarm admin
user has changed.
#861147 (Bug #73037)
The json output for projects no longer leaks automated test and
deploy settings. These values can include sensitive data such as
auth tokens.
#860313, #861755 (Bug #73056)
Improved handling of empty descriptions in commit and review email
notifications. We no longer append a trailing '-' to the subject
and we no longer output an empty description block in the body.
#855747 (Bug #72716)
Fixed a bug where selecting the already active project/branch
filter would erroneously clear the filter.
#860349 (Bug #61897)
We now prevent service and operator type users from logging in.
#851970 (Bug #72825)
Fixed an issue where Swarm was generating 'Unknown command' errors
on Perforce Server's using structured logs. Instead of running a
null command, we now run 'help' to avoid the error. Further, we
only test the connection if it appears necessary which should
provide a minor performance boost.
#849546 (Bug #72860)
Following an inline comment link to a file open for 'add' no longer
produces a JavaScript error.
#848957 (Bug #72845)
The trigger script will now fallback to curl if wget returns an
exit code of 126 or higher. Previously we only fellback for 127.
#842648 (Bug #72680)
We now correctly detect files of type 'import' as being adds.
#842413 (Bug #72707)
Reviews now only reference projects/branches impacted by the
current version.
#841620 (Bug #70219)
Invalid/non-existent jobs added to a change no longer result in a
HTTP-500 error.
#841606 (Bug #71843)
Uploading a directory now results in an error message, not an
unreadable white bar.
#836796 (Bug #72523)
IE11 is no longer erroneously detected as being Firefox by Swarm's
generic error handling code.
#836814 (Bug #72435)
Modal dialogs now display on top of tooltips, previously they could
erroneously overlap the dialog.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Major new functionality in 2014.2
#825537, #825687 (Bug #72144)
Reviews can now optionally have required reviewers. A review cannot
be approved until all required reviewers have up-voted the review.
To aid in managing reviewers and defining who is required, a new
'Edit Reviewers' dialog has been added. The review author, perforce
admins and perforce super users are always able to edit reviewers.
Additionally, the following individuals may edit reviewers:
- If the review is moderated, the moderators
- If the review is part of a project, but not moderated, all
project members
- If the review is not part of a project, any authenticated user
Lastly, individuals may now leave a review, make their vote
required or make their vote optional by clicking their own avatar
under the reviewers listing. This is in addition to the existing
options to join, vote-up and vote-down.
#823254, #825263 (Bugs #67052, #67054)
Branches can now optionally have moderators. If moderators are
defined, only those users are allowed to 'approve' or 'reject'
reviews under the branch.
When a review is associated with a moderated branch:
- Only moderators can approve or reject the review; they can also
perform all other transitions.
- Authors can move between needs-review/needs-revision/archived and
can attach commits; they cannot approve or reject review (even if
they are a moderator)
- Members can move between needs-review/needs-revision and can
attach commits; they cannot approve/reject or archive.
- Users that are not project members, moderators or the author
cannot perform any transitions.
Note, for the author and project members, if the review is not
presently in one of their permitted states (e.g.: it is rejected)
they cannot transition it.
#805100, #805438 (Bug #66173)
By default, reviews that are committed via the Swarm web UI will
now be credited to the review author. Activity and email
notifications will include both the committer and review author's
details. This is a configuration option which defaults to true.
#804532, #820256 (Bug #67053)
A project can now optionally specify one or more owners. When a
project has owners, only the owners (as well as admin or super
level users) can edit the project.
#796111, #796324, #804292, #803304 (Bug #69605)
Comment boxes now support file attachments via drag-and-drop
upload. To enable this feature create a "//.swarm" depot or set the
depot storage base path to a location Swarm can write to.
Minor new functionality in 2014.2
#834780 (Bug #72549)
Updated the P4PHP binaries to be built with a patched P4API that
does not reference the Heartbleed-vulnerable OpenSSL version.
#825849 (Bug #66469)
The Swarm favicon is now larger.
#824751 (Bug #72388)
Fixed a bug where trigger tokens were not protected from non-super
users that requested JSON formatted '/about' output.
#820025 (Bug #71330)
Multiple Swarm instances can now safely operate on the same machine
where the address only varies by port, even if SERVER_PORT is
misreporting.
#811552, #814057, #814086 (Bug #67051)
Project creation can be limited to admin users by setting
'add_project_admin_only' under the 'security' config. This feature
is disabled by default.
#810137, #812142 (Bug #66408)
Ensured the horizontal scroll bar is always visible when viewing a
change or review diff.
#805410, #805415, #805458 (Bug #72039)
Upgraded Zend Framework from 2.1.4 to 2.2.6 for a number of fixes
and enhancements.
#805070 (Bug #72042)
Enhanced the queue status to report future-tasks separately.
#801759 (Bug #71598)
Added support for GitHub style line links (e.g.: '#L123') and
highlighting of linked line; additionally, if you specify a range
of lines (e.g.: '#10-20'), Swarm will highlight all of the lines in
the range.
#800253 (Bug #71712)
Improved the configuration error message to alert the user if the
data directory is unwriteable, or no php.ini is found.
#797479, #799428, #800567, #801819 (Bugs #71679, #71718)
Added a new URL shortening feature. This adds a small 'bookmark'
button to the file browser page. Clicking the button generates a
short URL and displays it in a small popover dialog that the user
can easily copy from. A short link like this will redirect the user
to a (presumably) much longer address. Also added support for a
dedicated short-link hostname; this is a domain to use for short
links to make them even shorter. Short links are handy for email,
chat, etc.
#796834, #803372 (Bugs #71521, #71738)
Enhanced the trigger script to operate with in-place edits, or
externalized configuration (implicit and explicit via -c config).
This is helpful so that configuration can be more easily separated
from the script itself.
#791347 (Bug #71159)
Expose a configuration setting to allow suppressing the Reply-To:
email header field. This is helpful when you don't want to expose
Perforce user email addresses in email notifications.
#790928 (Bug #71396)
When copying lines of text from a review or changes page, line
numbers in diff no longer end up in your clipboard. All supported
browsers still display the line numbers. IE still copies the line
numbers if you multi-select lines.
#790472 (Bug #71366)
Remove the border styles from the diff table to provide a cleaner
look, and also reduce visual glitches to table borders.
#789318 (Bug #71717)
Swarm now compresses JSON sent to the browser for better
performance.
#789217, #789221 (Bug #66706)
Upgraded jQuery from 1.9.1 to 1.11.1 for performance improvements.
#787961 (Bug #70991)
Workers will effectively restart if Swarm detects the config.php
file has been changed. This helps prevent the long running workers
from using stale config.php settings.
#782170, 794566 (Bugs #71160, #71327)
Improved the performance of the home page, particularly when there
are large numbers of projects or activity events.
#781997 (Bug #70687)
Display a tip at the bottom of review and change pages indicating
the user can use the N and P keys to move between the changes.
#781805 (Bug #71393)
Upgraded JSRender from 1.0pre to 1.0.0beta.
Bugs fixed in 2014.2 Patch 2 (since 2014.2/841040)
#853220 (Bug #72903)
Administrators can now disable system info along with the related log
and php info pages by setting 'disable_system_info' to true under the
'security' config. By default, system info is still accessible to
authenticated admin or super level users.
#853054, #853496, #853533 (Bug #72881)
The CSRF token is now passed as a POST param not a GET param. This
should reduce the risk of exposure in logs, referrers, etc.
#846204, #853041 (Bug #72805)
Fixed a local XSS vulnerability in error messages when posting
forms in Swarm.
Bugs fixed in 2014.2 Patch 1 (since 2014.2/835154)
#840956 (Bug #72712)
Made the details about changes to reviewers (e.g. 'Added user as a
required reviewer') easier to distinguish from the description of
the review in email notifications.
#840731 (Bug #72698)
Adjusted edit reviewers activity to clearly report when users are
added. Previously we just stated 'Made user a required reviewer';
it was unclear if they were being added or edited.
#839300 (Bug #72658)
When upgrading Swarm, browsers would sometimes hold onto outdated
CSS and JavaScript potentially resulting in errors. Links to the
minified CSS/JS now include the Swarm patch number to avoid this.
#838036, #838043, #838150 (Bug #61429)
Added CSRF protection to all mutative actions. For authenticated
users, requests that are not a GET (e.g. POST, DELETE, PATCH, etc.)
must now include a valid _csrf token. Actions which are
'login_exempt' or 'csrf_exempt' do not require the token to be
passed.
#835869 (Bug #72611)
Fixed an issue where Swarm was not setting the 'Remember me' cookie
with the secure flag when appropriate.
#835868 (Bugs #72548, #72568)
Swarm can now be used in deployments where a proxy/balancer handles
encryption and forwards plain HTTP traffic on to the Swarm server.
When 'https_strict' is enabled, we now always send the HSTS header
and we always flag cookies as secure only. Additionally, we now
allow the administrator to disable the HTTPS redirect for HTTP
clients by setting 'https_strict_redirect' to false under the
'security' config.
#835821 (Bug #72565)
We now only start a session when needed (e.g. anonymous users don't
get a session until they try to login). We also attempt to clear
the session cookie on logout or session expiration.
#835815, #835866 (Bug #72678)
The diff endpoint will now produce a 404 error when attempting to
diff a non-existent file. Previously a 500 error was produced.
#835789 (Bug #72566)
Swarm now supports specifying a session lifetime. If the session is
not accessed for the specified duration, the user will be logged
out. By default the duration is 30 days but can be adjusted by
setting the 'gc_maxlifetime' under the 'session' config. This
feature will apply when using the default file based session
storage. Other storage backends are presently unverified.
#835577 (Bug #72564)
Swarm no longer sends two Set-Cookie headers for the SWARM session
ID on login. There is no functional change, this is just an
aesthetic improvement to the response.
#835554 (Bug #72571)
Fixed an issue where toggling the 'Remember me' checkbox on login
did not correctly adjust the session lifetime.
Bugs fixed in 2014.2
#833850 (Bug #72510)
Fixed an issue on Safari 5.1 where comment user avatars were not
being sized correctly.
#833609 (Bug #72505)
Fixed an issue to ensure commits via Swarm keep the restricted or
public type of the authoritative shelf.
#827517 (Bug #72362)
Fixed an issue where it was not possible to @mention a user that
contained a backslash (such as an AD domain user).
#826264 (Bug #72378)
Fixed an issue with the job dialog automatically refreshing when
attempting to select a row.
#821123 (Bug #72390)
Fixed a race-condition where automated tests for a review could
fail if the pending review was committed before the tests ran.
#821027 (Bug #72248)
Fixed an issue where you could not change the review status of a
review that was somehow stuck. Now, such a review can be
transitioned to Needs Review, Needs Revision or Archive to clear
the status.
#820630 (Bug #72225)
Fixed an issue in Firefox where the archive comment tooltips would
get orphaned.
#820120 (Bug #72391)
Fixed an issue where the reviews queue would reload when the search
input loses focus, even if the search value had not changed.
#820005 (Bug #71764)
Fixed an issue where Safari 5.1.x would throw a JavaScript error
when navigating files using the back or forward buttons.
#819959 (Bug #71459)
Fixed a bug where protection table entries with spaces caused
errors.
#819822 (Bug #72224)
Fixed an issue where no error message was displayed for
browser-to-Swarm network errors.
#814092, #824517 (Bug #64793)
Fixed an issue where timezones were incorrect when Swarm was
connected to a Windows p4d server.
#813797 (Bug #72064)
Fixed an issue where modal cancel buttons were being marked as
ARIA-hidden.
#809521 (Bug #71986)
Fixed an issue with the 3D model viewer where it was looking at
0,0,0 instead of the center of the model.
#804290 (Bug #71851)
Fixed a bug where the reviews page would issue excessive XHR
requests, impairing browsing performance.
#800358, #801075 (Bug #72003)
Adjusted avatar styles to only show the default avatars when the
user's Gravatar has finished loading. This prevents a momentary
flash of the default avatar that could sometimes occur if Gravatar
was slow.
#799622 (Bug #71367)
Swarm now normalizes the hostname specified in the config file to
properly handle schemes and non-standards ports.
#799558 (Bug #71680)
Swarm no longer prevents the browser from handling control/command
clicks in the Swarm File Browser.
#794840 (Bugs #70317, #70295)
Fixed several small issues with the file browser. Previously the
handling of what controls were shown on different tabs was spread
out and inconsistent. We also previously missed detecting all the
cases where the tab had changed.
#792725 (Bug #65644)
Fixed an issue on IE9 where the archived comments area would toggle
twice the first time it was clicked, so you would need to click
again.
#792034 (Bug #71138)
Fixed an issue where certain special characters, like '@', '#', and
'%' were escaped in email depot paths.
#790454 (Bug #70231)
Fixed an issue where linking to an archived comment did not expand
the collapsed archive area to scroll to the comment.
#790437 (Bug #71372)
Enhance the N/P keydown listener to only handle one keydown per
keypress. This should prevent issues with the focus moving further
than expected.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Major new functionality in 2014.1
#774422, #775409 (Bug #70659)
Swarm now renders 3D model files (.STL, .OBJ or .DAE) in the file
browser and diff. The viewer will attempt to pull in referenced
resources, including MTL files, in the model objects, but will only
be able to display textures if they are web-safe images (e.g.: .PSD
textures will not render). If using a modern browser, and hardware
acceleration is available, the viewer should run smoothly. If using
a modern browser, and there is no hardware acceleration available,
the viewer will run without WebGL, and may be slow; we don't
auto-rotate in this case to reduce CPU utilization. If you are not
using a modern browser, you will just receive a 'viewer not
supported' message.
#772465 (Bug #68885)
Git users may now perform pre-commit reviews using Swarm, via
Perforce Git Fusion. To start a pre-commit review, simply push to
/reviews/master/new, where 'master' is the target branch. More
details on usage are available in the Swarm documentation.
#767962, #775774, #776148 (Bug #66723)
Restricted changes are filtered from the UI if the user does not
have permission to view them.
Minor new functionality in 2014.1
#775670 (Bug #65494)
Swarm checks for the existence of the config.php file and if not
present, displays a suitable error to the user.
#775412 (Bug #68201)
RTF files, although text, will now be rendered through the
LibreOffice module if present.
#772469 (Bug #70803)
The strict and enforce trigger types can now be scoped to just
changes in a review using the -r flag. This allows unreviewed
changes to proceed, but changes in a review must be approved.
#771462 (Bug #70758)
When calling automated tests for a review, Swarm now lists only
branches impacted by the current change in the {branch} and
{branchName} keywords.
#770126 (Bug #70798)
The amount of time and memory that worker processes use is now
constrained. Previously, a worker could use an unlimited amount of
memory and run for ever (no limits). Now, the limits for a worker
can be set in the config file and default to 1GB and 30min
respectively. The 30min timeout is reset for each task. No task
can spend more than 30min of CPU time.
#765295 (Bug #70583)
For a project's branches listed on the project page, the mainline
branches are displayed first, and the remaining are now sorted
alphabetically.
#762726, #763003, #770626, #773997 (Bugs #70611, #70612, #70613)
Further reduced memory consumption in the processing of users and
groups. For example, with 10,000 users and over 1,000 groups, Swarm
previously used ~140MB of memory when populating the caches and
~120MB when reading from the caches; with these changes, memory
usage drops to ~35MB and ~12MB respectively.
Bugs fixed in 2014.1
#777472 (Bug #70940)
Fixed an issue where improper permissions on the token directory
would result in an infinite loop.
#774788 (Bug #70842)
Fixed an issue in Chrome when viewing a large image retrieved from
cache would cause the page to continually refresh.
#773886 (Bug #70813)
Fixed display issues in IE with the filename bar on a review page.
#772345 (Bug #70774)
Improved the scrolling performance in Chrome on Review pages by
manually instructing the browser which areas to repaint when
scrolling a file.
#769901 (Bug #70797)
Fixed an issue where filenames with special characters were
improperly displayed in a comment tagline.
#769859 (Bug #69623)
Fixed an IE11 performance issue when viewing the Reviews page.
#766082 (Bug #70599)
Fixed an issue when browsing project files would cause a HTTP 500
error if one of the project's branch definitions contained a path
ending with a slash (as opposed to '/...').
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Major new functionality in 2013.3
#749961, #750778, #751112 (Bug #69119)
Swarm now allows participants to vote up or down on a review. The
reviews page replaces the participants columns with an up/down
votes column.
#730156, #747698, #748957 (Bug #69279)
Swarm can now emulate IP-based Perforce protections. Swarm will
check the user's IP address and use it to apply any necessary
restrictions, such as when browsing files, viewing file content,
viewing & adding comments on files.
#724625 (Bug #60905)
Added ability to comment at the file-level on reviews and changes.
Files in changes and reviews will now have a footer to display and
add comments similar to the existing inline comment interface.
Minor new functionality in 2013.3
#751165 (Bugs #68207, #69624)
Eliminated redundant commit activity and email notification. This
would occur when a change linked to a review was committed. Now,
the commit is reported only once.
#751085 (Bug #69749)
Old invalidated cache files are now cleared out periodically.
#750074 (Bug #70114)
Swarm will log warnings when Perforce commands take longer than a
prescribed time. By default, the print, submit, sync, shelve, and
unshelve commands' threshold is 10 seconds; for all others, it is 3
seconds.
#749100 (Bug #70023)
Swarm will perform XHProf profiling if the 'xhprof' PHP extension
is present and requests take longer than a prescribed time (by
default, 3 seconds). Data collected will be placed in the
data/xhprof directory.
#748526 (Bug #70110)
When browsing a project's branches, mainlines now appear first and
are bolded as they are the most frequently accessed codelines.
#747404 (Bug #70017)
The Swarm distribution now includes P4PHP binaries for PHP 5.5.
#745637 (Bug #69980)
Commit email notifications now include a link to their associated
review.
#734207, #751251 (Bug #69487)
Swarm can now display deleted files and folders when browsing
files.
#732930 (Bug #69636)
Added support for hashtag (more formally known as "octothorpe"!)
style review keywords; e.g. #review or #review-1234. Note the
keyword is only honoured if it is preceeded and followed by either
whitespace or EOL/SOL. Unlike the square-bracket convention
[review], the hashtag style review keyword can appear anywhere in
the description, not just at the beginning or end.
#728989 (Bug #60909)
Users can now comment on jobs in Swarm under the new 'Comments' tab
on the job page. When there is a new comment, Swarm will send an
email notification to users listed in 'user' fields in the job,
@mentioned in the job description and users of associated changes.
#728163 (Bug #69542)
Avoid session locking to improve performance when making multiple
simulatenous requests. This should improve the ability to browse in
other tabs while file previews are being converted/transferred.
#723845 (Bug #64834)
Added a system information page (/info), accessible to users with
admin privileges. The page displays Perforce Server information,
PHP info, and the Swarm log, which can be downloaded.
#722080 (Bug #69406)
Enhanced the 'jobs' route to automatically prepend 'job0...' if the
given ID is numeric and doesn't exactly match an existing job. For
example, /jobs/12345 will resolve to /jobs/job012345.
#721850 (Bug #69380)
Added a new 'disable_commit' option under the 'reviews' section in
the configuration. Enabling this option will remove the "Approve
and Commit" and "Commit" options from the Swarm web interface.
External commits via traditional Perforce clients will still be
possible. This setting is false by default.
#720456 (Bug #69290)
If a user adds themselves as a review participant, Swarm will no
longer email the new participant, though all other participants
will still be notified.
#719792, #719938 (Bug #69245)
Added icons next to changes listed on the jobs page to indicate
their type (review, commit, pending).
#718564 (Bug #69206)
Added new 'http_client_options' configuration. This allows
administrators to specify HTTP communication options (particularly
useful for HTTPS related options) either globally, or host-
specific.
#716765 (Bug #65289)
Improved HTTPS support via a 'strict_https' option. When enabled,
viewing an HTTP link will include a meta-refresh to the HTTPS
version, a strict transport security header will be included for
all HTTPS requests (pinning the browser to HTTPS for 30 days), all
qualified URLs will use HTTPS for the scheme, and cookies on HTTPS
connections will be flagged HTTPS-only
#716542 (Bug #66938)
Updated the Jobs page to allow selecting and re-ordering columns
representing job fields.
Columns can now be selected via the 'Select Columns' drop-down
button located beside the search box. Users can select columns to
show in the table below by checking them in the drop-down (showing
all available fields, where the selected ones are always located at
the top of the list).
Selected columns can also be re-ordered, either by dragging them
into desired spot in the drop-down or in the table header.
#714786, #715519, #715658, #719803, #720491 (Bugs #69093, #69647)
Swarm has a new design that is cleaner and brighter with fewer
borders. The projects sidebar has been moved to the left-hand side
of the home page. This fixes an issue loading activity on mobile
devices. Events in the activity table are now color-coded (with a
thin vertical line on the far-right edge) to indicate the type of
activity.
#714421 (Bug #69090)
Enhanced our emojify filter to make use of Gemoji images if they
are installed under public/vendor/gemoji. Gemoji provides support
for more emojis and works on more browsers and platforms than the
unicode codepoints we normally use. For more information about
Gemoji, see https://github.com/github/gemoji.
#713201 (Bug #68815)
Introduced 'use_bcc' configuration item under 'mail' to address
recipients of changelist notifications via the BCC field instead of
the TO field. See the Email configuration section under
Administration of the documentation.
Bugs fixed in 2013.3 patch 1 (since 2013.3/759531)
#762450 (Bug #70489)
Fixed an issue with the automated test and deployment integrations
where the branch ID was passed but documented as the branch name.
We now provide both the ID and name for branches and projects, and
the documentation has been corrected.
#762417 (Bug #70490)
Addressed a browser performance problem involving collapsed files
on review and changes pages.
#761990, #762232 (Bug #70467)
Improved the efficiency of processing Perforce groups to reduce
memory consumption. For example, with thousands of users and
groups, memory consumption is reduced by approximately 80%.
#761155 (Bug #70461)
Fixed the queue location when using the SWARM_DATA_PATH override.
Bugs fixed in 2013.3
#757302 (Bug #69995)
Fixed a bug where multibyte UTF-8 sequences in user ID's could lead
to HTTP 500 errors.
#755964 (Bug #70225)
Fixed the activity display for a user whose ID contains a period.
#751230 (Bug #69672)
Fixed erroneous 'approved' email when committing a review from
Swarm where the review was already approved.
#751219 (Bug #69696)
Fixed an issue where including an invalid change number when adding
a commit to a review would throw an exception instead of returning
a nicely formatted error.
#751195 (Bug #65646)
Fixed an issue where the 'Commit' button in the Commit Review
dialog became prematurely enabled.
#751100 (Bug #69666)
Fixed an issue where some errors were not being displayed when
failing to commit a review from Swarm.
#751043 (Bug #67471)
Fixed an issue where a long description of a history entry would
not be collapsed.
#751013 (Bug #68809)
Fixed an issue where a change description that contained a line
with only a period as its content would cause email notifications
to be truncated at that point.
#747494 (Bug #69651)
When showing historic context lines on comments, the old context
will now only be shown once when it applies to multiple sequential
comments.
#747607 (Bug #70022)
Swarm now properly disconnects from the mail server after sending
an email. Previously, a timeout error could occur if a worker
processed multiple email related tasks.
#746579 (Bug #65666)
Swarm no longer throws an HTTP 500 error when an invalid depot is
entered within the change select dialog.
#745635 (Bug #69981)
When editing a review description, mentioning a user (via @user)
will now actually add that user as a review participant.
#745911 (Bug #69204)
On the history tab, searching for a user with invalid characters
will no longer generate an error.
#743323 (Bug #69928)
Previews of office type documents no longer silently fail on CentOS
and Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
#736065 (Bug #69737)
Work around a Chrome bug where clearing out the password field on a
long page would freeze the browser. See http://crbug.com/180868 for
details.
#736112 (Bug #69743)
Fixed a race condition that could cause the commit status to become
erroneously stuck at 'unshelving...'.
#732093 (Bug #66240)
Fixed a bug where login would fail against a case-insensistive
Perforce server if the username did not match case exactly.
#719604 (Bug #69248)
Fixed a bug where Unicode or UTF-16 text files were not displaying
properly in Swarm; Perforce converts them to UTF-8 and Swarm now
flags them as such.
#716735 (Bug #69129)
Fixed a bug where the wrong timestamp would be shown in the
activity feed for certain timezones (e.g. AEST).
#712670 (Bug #68949)
Fixed a minor bug where the user could erroneously select a header
row in the 'Select Job' dialog.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Major new functionality in 2013.2
#680316, #681228, #691940 (Bugs #66717, #65503)
Code reviews are now versioned. A historic copy of proposed work is
maintained when the review is updated. This allows users to see
each incremental change made to a review, as well as diff between
adjacent versions to the review using the new Review Timeline.
#679062 (Bug #66799)
Several notable enhancements to the JIRA module. When a change is
submitted or a review is created/updated, we find any associated
JIRA issues, via associated jobs or callouts in the description,
and ensure the JIRA issues link back to the review or change in
Swarm. Further, the JIRA project list is now fetched automatically
so you no longer need to hard-code it in the config.php.
#676580 (Bugs #60923, #67538)
Added support for committing streams-based reviews in Swarm. With
this change, it is now possible use Streams-based projects.
#668325, #680003 (Bugs #67216, 67653)
Added support for viewing office type documents, such as Word,
PowerPoint, Excel, Visio and rich text file formats. LibreOffice
must be installed on the Swarm web server to take advantage of this
feature. The Swarm OVA comes with the necessary LibreOffice
components installed to enable this feature.
#667587 (Bug #66586)
Added support for previewing BMP, EPS, PSD, TGA, and TIFF formats.
The ImageMagick PHP extension must be installed and enabled on the
Swarm web server to take advantage of this feature. The Swarm OVA
comes with this extension to enable this feature.
#667207, #677868, #688353 (Bugs #64759, #65017, #67979)
Swarm reviews and changes now provide a richer jobs integration.
Users can add or remove job associations for changes and reviews.
Swarm now allows job selection in the 'Commit Review' dialog,
similar to P4V. Also, if jobs are present when updating a reviews
files the jobs will be added to the review.
Minor new functionality in 2013.2
#695725 (Bug #60941)
Users with permissions to edit projects can now also delete them
via a new 'Delete' button in the 'Edit Project' page (confirmation
is required via the tooltip).
#695350 (Bug #68256)
The default diff mode is now side-by-side; your last used diff mode
will be remembered so this change primarily affects new users.
#692127 (Bug #68153)
Swarm now includes Linux variants of P4PHP that are built with
glibc 2.3.3 to support older distributions, such as Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.9. See the INSTALL.txt for more information.
#689920 (Bug #68028)
Swarm's session name now defaults to 'SWARM' for web servers
running on port 80 or 443. For Swarm instances running on any other
port, the session name defaults to SWARM-1234 where 1234 is the
port number in use. This allow running several Swarm instances on a
single server differentiating them by port and session name.
#689744 (Bug #66724)
Revised icons for added, deleted and edited files. These icons are
colorful with larger +, - and pencil symbols. They should make it
easier to distinguish between the various actions.
#689613 (Bug #67755)
Swarm can now be configured to use a custom avatar URL pattern
allowing administrators to provide their own avatar server or
disable custom avatars altogether. By default, custom avatars
continue to come from Gravatar.
#688945 (Bug #68046)
Added a goto route for full or partial Git Fusion SHA1 commits that
will redirect to the corresponding changelist. e.g.:
http://myswarmhost/42697a7a79
#680508 (Bug #62181)
Swarm now anchors the file toolbar to the top of the window on
changes/review pages so it stays in view while you are scrolling
through a file.
#675826 (Bug #67413)
Added support for emoji shorthand (e.g. :smile:); see
http://www.emoji-cheat-sheet.com for the full list.
#672699 (Bug #66610)
Users can now filter the history tab by user when browsing.
#672363 (Bug #63199)
Added a apple-touch-icon for iOS (and apparently Android) devices.
Just one size (144x144) for simplicity.
#671993 (Bug #67389)
Restyled the error pages to incorporate our new mascot Bizzy
Heisenbug and be more scalable/responsive.
#669938, #693013 (Bugs #66534, #68206)
Swarm no longer emails the user who commented or performed a review
state change. Other interested parties are still emailed.
Additionally, editing a review's description no longer generates an
email.
#666778 (Bug #67154)
Added a new 'prevent_login' configurable to specify a list of
Perforce users that are not allowed to log in to Swarm.
#665482 (Bug #67108)
We now collapse multiple occurrences of certain characters (e.g.:
ASCII lines) in the subject lines of change notification emails.
#664426 (Bug #67065)
Added hooks for previewing non-web-safe file fomats. A custom
module is required to add support for other formats. In the
module's bootstrap method you can grab the format manager and add a
new handler. See the Imagick or LibreOffice modules for example
usage.
#664389 (Bug #65015)
Added a 'My Reviews' filter to the review queue to show only
reviews the current user is participating in.
#661459 (Bug #66679)
Improve configuration error page displayed if PHP-specific
misconfigurations are detected (such as an unsupported PHP version,
or missing PHP extensions). All detected misconfigurations are now
shown in a list. Also, the path to all php ini files is shown to
ease administration.
#660436, #669261 (Bug #66573)
Email notifications from Swarm now include additional email
headers, 'X-Swarm-Host' and 'X-Swarm-Version'.
#657062 (Bugs #66598, #66599)
We now show the text of comments and the description of file
updates on the review history tab.
#656605 (Bug #66931)
Added the ability to set the DATA_PATH via environment variable,
SWARM_DATA_PATH. This can facilitate hosting multiple Swarm
instances using a single Swarm installation.
Bugs fixed in 2013.2
#704590 (Bug #68710)
Queueing tasks will no longer log a PHP warning in the Apache error
log when multiple tasks are added in the same millisecond.
#703451 (Bug #68531)
Fixed an issue where Swarm would display a 404 error if attempting
to access the Apache info or status modules' handler paths. Swarm
now detects if those modules are enabled, and if so, allows access
to their paths.
#696121 (Bug #67233)
Fixed an issue when using Safari where PDF documents would be cut
off strangely at the bottom of the window.
#696076 (Bug #68041)
Fixed an issue when using Internet Explorer where hitting enter in
a text field would erroneously trigger nearby buttons.
#691483, #692576 (Bug #68129)
Swarm no longer "linkifies" deleted user IDs when showing the author
of a change, comment, activity, etc.
#689915 (Bug #68056)
Fixed a bug where URLs using IP addresses were not being linkified.
#689661 (Bug #68044)
Fixed issue where Swarm would fail if the 'json' or 'session' PHP
extensions were not installed; Swarm now checks for the presence of
these extensions.
#688137 (Bug #68043)
Fixed .htaccess rules to allow viewing of documentation when PHP is
not installed.
#686394 (Bug #67908)
Fixed an issue where older systems (e.g.: RHEL/CentOS) would not
recognize a form of regular expression named capture groups; Swarm
now uses a more backwards-compatible form.
#686358 (Bug #67905)
Fixed an issue where older systems (e.g.: RHEL/CentOS) would fail
to fetch activity or reviews due to unexpectedly treating the ID as
a float instead of an integer.
#685439 (Bug #66446)
Fixed an issue where the initial activity import could result in
out of order activity records.
#684802 (Bug #67816)
Fixed an issue where token-based auth (alone) wouldn't work for
deploy and automated test integration if require_login was enabled.
#681666 (Bug #67720)
Fixed an issue where it was possible to get an unexpected connect
exception when accessing Swarm with a partially expired session.
#681586 (Bug #67507)
When logging warnings and errors, we no longer include context.
Large values and excessive escapement made context useless.
#680229 (Bug #67669)
Fixed a race-condition where committing through Swarm could fail if
the change was renumbered upon submit.
#680188 (Bug #67652)
Fixed display issues exposed in Firefox when navigating files.
#679223 (Bug #67616)
Fixed validation of group names. The rules we were enforcing in
Swarm did not match the rules enforced by the server.
#678458 (Bug #67592)
Fixed a bug that prevented the minified consolidated web assets
from being included in the distribution.
#676317 (Bug #67445)
Fixed an issue where the Comments 'Archive' and 'Restore' buttons
weren't labelled for screen readers.
#673297 (Bug #67431)
Fixed a bug where Swarm only matched the first keyword and stopped.
If someone used the [review] keyword at the start and end of their
description this would have left one behind.
#671254 (Bug #67342)
Fixed a bug where commenting above a padding line caused a comment
indicator to appear on the padding line.
#671092 (Bug #67126)
Added roles and ARIA labels to fix an issue where the All Projects/
My Projects dropdown was undiscoverable by NVDA, and where the Add
Project Link wasn't being described at all by NVDA.
#669528 (Bug #67262)
Fixed a bug where the display of ignored whitespace on context
lines in Swarm was inconsistent with p4 diff/P4Merge if you used
the 'Show Full Context' feature.
#668045 (Bug #67214)
Improved handling of purged files in diff. We no longer attempt to
show or diff purged files.
#668043 (Bug #67162)
Fixed a bug where searching within Help was not working.
#667916 (Bug #67195)
Improved Approve & Commit error handling to ensure the attempted
change is deleted on failure.
#667915 (Bug #67106)
Fixed an issue where the pdf preview area was very small on Firefox
and Internet Explorer.
#667770 (Bug #67185)
Fixed an endless loop that could occur when Swarm attempted to
obtain a client to use from its client pool if file permissions
were invalid.
#667226 (Bug #67166)
Fixed an issue in Swarm Jobs Search where it would still reload
your query on search blur even after you had just loaded the query
using the enter key.
#666601 (Bugs #65684, #67055)
Fixed an issue where using the back button on a Job page would take
you back to search page with the previous search filled into the
field, but not properly filtered in the results.
#665678 (Bug #67210)
Fixed a bug where a changelist description that had a numbered list
item could be linkified if the previous line ended with "change".
#657378 (Bug #66826)
Fixed a bug where avatar selection was not consistent when using
the Suhosin version of PHP. This is because srand() is disabled for
security reasons.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Major new functionality in 2013.1
#647347 (Bug #66023)
Replaced the grab/release review feature with multiple reviewers.
It is no longer possible to grab or release a review. Instead,
anyone other than the auther who participates in a review (e.g.
comments on, changes the status of, pushes code to, etc.) becomes a
'reviewer'. Swarm now displays a row of reviewer avatars beneath
the description of a review. The avatars are preceeded by the text
'Reviewers' and are aligned right. Users can click to add
themselves to a review.
On the reviews queue, the 'Reviewer' column has been removed and a
new 'Reviewers' column has been added. The reviewers column shows a
count of reviewers and, when hovered, lists the names of all
reviewers in a tooltip. Similarly, the assigned/unassigned filter
has been replaced with a has-reviewers/no-reviewers filter.
#647277, #647325 (Bug #65934)
Swarm now requires a license to run against a licensed Perforce
server. Without a Swarm license, Swarm's functionality is not
restricted in any way, however a license violation notification
appears for every page.
Swarm does not require a license to run against an unlicensed
Perforce server.
If Swarm is licensed for fewer users than the Perforce server, only
members of the 'swarm' group, or a sub-group, are allowed to login
to Swarm. If a non-member attempts to login and the swarm group is
not already at capacity, an attempt will be made to automatically
add them to the group so long as: security => disable_autojoin
hasn't been set to true (by default it is false).
Auto-join is not available on Perforce Server versions prior to
2012.1. In that case it is akin to auto-join being disabled and
Swarm will handle the login failure gracefully.
Contact sales@perforce.com to purchase a license or start a free
trial.
#645705, #646629, #647327 (Bugs #63686, 65936)
Swarm now has additional trigger types for review enforcement and
strict content checking. The '-t enforce' type enforces that
submits are associated to an approved review. The '-t strict' type
goes further and ensures that the content being submitted matches
the content of its approved review. Using '-g <group>' with either
allows an exempt user group that isn't subject to the check. See
the documentation on triggers for further information.
#645011, #645217 (Bugs #60966, #63100)
Swarm can optionally act as a review daemon, emailing notifications
about changes to paths that users have expressed interest in via
reviews entries in their user form; see the documentation on email
notifications.
Minor new functionality in 2013.1
#652213 (Bug #66450)
Swarm pages now include meta information that inform Internet
Explorer to always use the latest document standards when
rendering. This prevents users from accidentally running Swarm in
Compatibility Mode, which is not supported.
#650691 (Bug #65055)
Swarm now supports additional browser versions: Apple Safari 5.1+
and Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.
#648677 (Bug #66005)
Added logic to automatically upgrade review records anytime they
are saved. This is necessary to accommodate changes made to review
records since 2013.1.BETA/629891.
#648653
Added .ico files to the list of 'viewable' (browser-safe) image
file types.
#648129, #648274 (Bug #66473)
The Swarm virtual appliance (OVA) is now based on Ubuntu 12.04.2
LTS. Connections to SSL-enabled Perforce Servers is now possible.
The supplied config.php file contains more default entries to make
customization easier (logging level, notifications to honor P4
reviews). PHP upgraded to 5.4.15 and is now available in the path.
#648004 (Bug #66467)
Swarm now supports a facility for automated deployment for code
reviews. When configured, a 'Try it out' button will appear on code
reviews so that reviewers can run the code with minimal effort.
This facility works very much like the automated tests integration.
You can optionally specify a 'deploy' url and can pass it
paramaters such as {change}, {status}, {review}, {project},
{branch}, {success} and {fail}.
Everytime a code review is started or its files updated, the deploy
url will be called. If the build works, your deploy script simply
requests the {success} address and includes a 'url' get or post
parameter. If the build fails, your deploy script can optionally
request the {fail} address. Including a failure url parameter is
optional but supported.
#647030 (Bug #66255)
Changed the title for the personal activity stream from 'Activity'
to 'Followed Activity'.
#646877
Removed the 'Re:' prefix from comment email subjects. They were
interferring with threading in Gmail.
#646335 (Bug #66376)
For Perforce activity initiated from Swarm, the Perforce Server log
now correctly shows the client as Swarm instead of P4PHP.
#645421 (Bug #66365)
Users can now associate additional submitted changes to an existing
review.
#645245 (Bug #65597)
Update the included P4PHP binaries from 2013.1/617119 to the latest
patched version (2013.1/644389), which includes a crash fix.
#642465
Added two links to the committed change on the review page. One
link is in the byline: '... committed 2 days ago in 54321' (the
change number is a link). The second link is left of the
add/edit/delete file count. Previously Swarm showed the change
number in this location, but it was not a link.
#640209 (Bug #65894)
From the Reviews page, Users can click the review state icon to go
to the review detail page.
#640072 (Bug #65935)
Swarm can now properly operate behind a forwarding Perforce
replica.
#639765
The Swarm trigger now tries to use 'wget' first, then 'curl', as
'wget' is more common. Also modified added the -o flag for
displaying its trigger table entries.
#639202, #639414, #639415, #639426, #647014, #647348 (Bug #65937)
JavaScript performance improvments were made to fix issues around
logging in and commenting when having many files expanded.
On a change with 20,000 lines of code, Chrome was taking 140
seconds to log in; now it takes under a second to log in or
comment. The expand all on that change was taking around 20 seconds
in Chrome, but now takes about 3 seconds.
#637198
Renamed comment 'close/reopen' to 'archive/restore'.
#636834 (Bug #64168)
A notice is displayed if there is no activity to display.
#636826 (Bug #66031)
Swarm now allows ticket based login for end-users.
#636565
Users @mentioned in change descriptions or comments were not
previously notified.
#634561
Don't send email notification for passing tests unless they were
previously failing.
#634313 (Bug #65893)
Searching on the review page is now case-insensitive.
#633930
Swarm now shows the 'committed' icon for reviews that are both
approved and committed. This is just one more visual clue that the
review you are looking at is committed.
#630853 (Bug #65040)
Swarm now has a new logo; ooh, ahh.
#620870 (Bug #65042)
Improve the layout for editing a Swarm project.
Bugs fixed since 2013.1/667767
#674403 (Bug #67464)
Fixed a bug where invalid email addresses could prevent valid
email addresses from receiving messages.
#673093 (Bug #67415)
If the change spec was missing the 'Type' field, viewing changes
was not possible. Swarm is now tolerant of Type not being present.
#673030 (Bug #67381)
Fixed a race condition when grabbing tasks out of the queue; in
some cases, two workers could grab the same task. This manifested
as unlink warnings in the Swarm log file.
#672407, #674413 (Bug #67397)
If custom triggers send output to stdout or stderr, it could cause
Swarm to malfunction when processing Perforce forms. Swarm is now
more tolerant of noisy triggers.
#672230 (Bug #67274)
If the Perforce Server was restarted during the lifetime of a Swarm
worker (e.g. a p4d restart), the worker's connection would become
unusable causing it to throw away tasks. The workers now attempt to
auto-reconnect to Peforce and they will only process tasks if they
have a valid connection.
#671840 (Bug #67299)
Updated the license validator to handle any command exception; this
fixes an error that could occur at login on 2010.2 Servers.
#671322 (Bug #67354)
Fixed a bug where Swarm's defense against ClickJacking attacks was
not properly enabled.
#671321 (Bug #67350)
Fixed an XSS vulnerability in branch name rendering.
#670131 (Bug #67309)
Fixed a bug where users were not being emailed notifications for
submitted changes against projects they followed (but were not
members of).
Bugs fixed since 2013.1/652715
#667718 (Bug #67180)
Noisy change triggers could prevent Swarm from capturing the number
of newly created changelists. Swarm now skips over trigger output.
#667713, #667741 (Bug #67179)
Certain empty fields in jobs (such as 'user') could cause a 500
internal server error. Swarm now checks for empty values before
performing additional processing on special job fields.
#665389 (Bug #67021)
Swarm did not show or diff the contents of Unicode or UTF16 files.
These file types are now treated as text and safe to show or diff.
#664119 (Bug #67045)
Swarm's enforce trigger (designed to prevent un-approved submits)
would occassionally reject an approved submit because of a subtle
inconsistency in how Swarm was writing review records.
#662273 (Bug #66963)
Login and other operations that checked a user's group membership
could fail with a 500 internal server error if the Perforce Server
contained any groups with a null id (ultimately due to Perforce
Server Bug #37630).
#661073 (Bug #66703)
The reviews page could issue an excessive number of XHR requests
against the Swarm server when loading more reviews. Fixed the logic
that throttles these requests.
#660074 (Bug #66886)
Fixed an issue where Swarm could produce a 500 internal server
error when connecting to a SSL enabled Perforce Server for the
first time.
Bugs fixed in 2013.1
#652570 (Bugs #64063, #65566, #65711)
Dates and times of committed changes and created/updated jobs shown
on various Swarm pages (Change, Changes, Job, Jobs, Review) were
incorrect if the user's client machine was in a different timezone
than Swarm and/or the Perforce server.
#652515 (Bug #65637)
IE10 failed to load a single file change if your page first loaded
with a tab other than Files, such as Comments or History.
#651899 (Bug #66551)
The undocumented activity delete action would not function when
using the -m <max> argument.
#651855 (Bug #66540)
If require_login was enabled, console actions would not function.
#651312 (Bug #66593)
Web-safe images were not being properly displayed if their filename
extension was in upper case.
#647388 (Bug #65304)
Branches with multiple paths did not map correctly into the
project's file's branch folder.
#647380 (Bugs #65525, #65555)
Filtering the activity or the review queue too quickly would result
in the toggled filter buttons being out of sync with the actual
filtered content.
#647349 (Bug #65831)
Searching for jobs using an invalid field would cause an HTTP-500
error.
#646245 (Bug #65581)
Logging in would always redirect you to the homepage instead of
refreshing the current page if the config.php setting
require_login=true was set.
#645363 (Bug #65053)
The changes pages would show up blank when navigating to them using
your back/forward buttons in your browser.
#645356
Made the 'already committed' change selector dialog work even if
the current change has no base path defined. Previously, if there
was no base path Swarm would report a 500 error.
#645338
Fixed an issue where the review state menu was inoperable if a
commit was underway. This was happening because Swarm polls for
commit-status every second and rebuilds the menu. Now, Swarm only
rebuilds the menu if there is new data.
#645255 (Bug #65051)
Avatars' height could be slow to render; Swarm now makes avatars
take up their proper space before they are loaded.
#642636 (Bug #65052)
Browsing history against a remote depot incorrectly would report
'no matching changes'; Swarm now correctly reports that change
details are not available.
#640153 (Bug #64605)
Email notifications would show occasional signs of corruption.
#638212 (Bug #66076)
Invalid UTF-8 characters in a Perforce user name could prevent the
add/edit project functionality from working correctly; Swarm now
filters out invalid UTF-8 characters.
#637913 (Bug #66053)
Swarm would not warn if the P4PHP extension was missing or not
loaded; it now displays a message with a link to the documentation
on how to configure it.
#637871 (Bug #66073)
Authentication triggers that outputted additional text could
prevent Swarm from processing the login correctly; Swarm is now
more tolerant of "noisy" authentication triggers.
#637643 (Bugs #65236, #65474, #65491)
Empty paths, embedded wildcards or non-existent depots in a
project's branch definition would cause an error at the project's
files page; these scenarios are now guarded against during entry.
#636855 (Bug #66021)
Swarm would duplicate activity if activity occurred after its
triggers were provisioned, but before any workers were provisioned.
#636427 (Bug #65632)
If the user's ticket expired, an error to be shown the first time
a page was shown after session expiration.
#635184 (Bug #65978)
Browsing files for a project produced 404 errors due to malformed
URLs in certain environments.
#634443 (Bug #64376)
Collapsing comments in inline mode wouldn't work correctly in
certain scenarios.
#633171 (Bug #65558)
Under certain circumstances with user auto-creation, new users
could not log in, due to the user form-commit trigger not firing;
Swarm now handles this situation properly.
#632803 (Bug #65567)
Swarm would incorrectly display a caret on the review state button
if you weren't logged in.
#632794 (Bug #65833)
The blame button would dissapear when using the view or download
button in the file browser.
#631059 (Bug #65790)
Plain text files were inappropriately syntax-highlighted.
#630180 (Bug #65549)
Line numbers could be duplicated in browse files view after
revisiting the page.

Reviews that were created upon submit by including the [review]
keyword did not show in either the opened or closed tabs after
being approved.

Swarm OVA has PHP timezone hard-coded to America/Los Angeles. This
causes Swarm to show the incorrect time for events if the OVA runs
in a different time zone.
#618219, #624007 (Bug #64760)
The Blame button would sometimes result in an HTTP-404 or an
HTTP-500 error.
