Changelog

v1.1.0

New Features

• Grouping repositories by gitweb-compatible category (opt-in, see the added ui.category.* options). For how to set a category for a repository, wefer to gitweb's document.
• Added "Preferences" dialog to let users (visitors) allow customize theme color and file list appearance.
• Tooltip on commit / author datetime now has relative time. E.g., 1 year ago
• When $DIR_DIR/description file is absent, legit now reads gitweb.description git config and use it as a description text, for gitweb compatibility.
• Added staticDirRevision config / build flag for browser-cache busting.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed git clone and git fetch are unavailable on OCI image.
• Fixed ignored repository reveal using URL-encoded slash character, such as .%2Fprivate_repo.
• Fixed description file in a checked out worktree being treated as a description file.
• Fixed broken layout of 404/500 pages.

Security

• Switched to more robust repository directory path check for more secure filesystem access outside OpenBSD and Linux.

Other Changes

• Tab width selector has been moved to the new "Preferences" dialog.
• Made the repository list page (/) cache-friendly by outputting timestamp rather than relative time. If user enabled JS in a browser, this change is effectively no-op.
• Added -compileTemplatesOnRequest, -dirs.static and -dirs.templates CLI flags.
• Fixed links that always 307 redirects due to lack of trailing slash.

v1.0.0

This entry states changes from the original legit.

New Features

• Completely new default CSS / HTML for better screen real estate utilization.
• Customizable page footer.
• Tab-width selector (requires JavaScript.)
• Pagination for commits (log) page.
• HTML preview for Markdown files on blob page.
• Image display support for Markdown files, both on blob page and summary page.

• Syntax highlight theming: HTML no longer contains hardcoded colors, so edit CSS for theme customization.

Bug Fixes

Performance

Security

Other Changes

• Data type of template variables (data passed Go template) are defined in routes/data.go.
• You can start legit without -config option, as long as you provide -repo.scanPath CLI flag.
• Easy to use Dockerfile (only web interface. git clone and git fetch is not available for now.)
• Added NixOS module and Home Manager module to Nix Flake file.
• Default templates and static files are embedded in the binary. You can omit dirs.templates and dirs.static options. (icyphox/legit#10)
