[Codestriker-user] Codestriker 1.7.5 released

[David S. <si...@us...>]

Hi everyone,

Codestriker 1.7.5 has just been released.  I've pasted the changelog here, 
which spells out all the new goodies in it.  Enjoy!

Cheers,
David

Version 1.7.5

* Added in support for parsing VSS diffs, and retrieving file data
  from a VSS repository.  VSS support is not complete yet, as the
  script for generated the diff text has not been submitted yet.

The following changes below were from Aaron Kardell
<aka...@al...>:

* Modified unidiff parser so that diffs created with
  --show-function-line and --show-c-function can be parsed and
  displayed in the view topic screen.

* Incoporated SubmitCodeReview.pl script, which can be used for
  automating the submission of a code review topic from the command
  line.  It also has support for incremental code reviews.  See the
  script and its help text for more details.

* Added an option to the view topic screen which controls how text is
  wrapped.  This can be useful for reviews with long source code lines.

The following changes below were from Jason Remillard
<jre...@ya...>:

* The topic view page has been modified so that a non-diff topic makes
  better use of screen real-estate.

* Non-diff topic text uploads now include the filename, rather than
  just "unknown".

* Turned off more project-specific display that should be hidden when
  projects are not enabled.

* Delete topic button moved to topic state option on view topic
  screen.

* List comments page modified so that it is now possible to filter by
  user and/or comment state.  It is also possible to show the context
  text associated with each comment.  This page can now be used as a
  form of a printable report, suitable for code inspection meetings.

* Configuration option $allow_comment_email (default true) which
  indicates if an email is sent for each comment made.  If the Cc
  field in the add comment page is filled, an email will be sent to
  that address regardless.

* The default page shown by Codestriker is the list of open topics,
  rather than all topics in the system.

* Introduced the notion of soft and hard topic text length limits,
  specified in the configuration file.  By default, the limits are not
  set, and therefore not enforced.  The rationale is code inspections
  become less effective as the size of the review increases.  If a
  review is longer than the hard limit, the topic will not be created.
  If the topic text length is greater than the soft limit, a warning
  message is displayed in the view topic page.
