New Trac shortens Timeline feed messages

[andreasf]

I am subscribed to the RSS feed of Trac's Timeline page (in Mac OS X Mail). The feed used to contain the full commit messages. Since the server move it contains only one line, shortened by ellipsis. The feed URL was not changed.

Having the info in the feed again would be more convenient to read and better for the server load, as I wouldn't have to visit every interesting-sounding changeset page then.

Same here with Opera's built-in RSS reader. For example this message comes like this:

According to TracRss they are now trying to make the RSS mimic the contents of the page it is on. If you want a fuller RSS commit log, try fetching a feed from ​http://dev.haiku-os.org/log. Let me know whether that satisfies your needs.

Kind regards,

There are SVN changes only, without Trac changes. And even with SVN it have issues with carriage return.

* Changed TerminalLine::length from int16 to uint16. * BasicTerminalBuffer::Init() no longer uses _ClearLines() to clear the screen lines, since that expects the lines to be somewhat valid at least and also needlessly updates the dirty region. * _ClearLines() always clears lines, even if they were empty. This way the "softBreak" flag is cleared too. * Be a bit more careful when multiplying a potentially negative signed number by an unsigned one. Shouldn't have caused a problem in this case, though. Either of the first three items should fix #2379.

Niels,

If it's an official, irreversible decision by the Trac develoepers we'll have to close it as WONTFIX.

As diver says, the Log feed you pointed us to doesn't contain the ticket changes, so we'll have to subscribe to two feeds now (one commits, one tickets/Wiki).

I have tried the Log feed now and I'm seeing the newline problem, too. Will open a separate ticket for that.

Logged as #2449. Sorry, forget to cc you, diver.

Upstream ticket: ​#7136

Since this is now an official ticket (and even scheduled), I'm going to assign the ticket to me.

A bit late, but marked as 'invalid' now. Note that the #2449 was fixed.
