Review Board 4.0.6 Release Notes¶

Release date: March 2, 2022

Packaging¶

File Diff Resource now provides binary file state.

The binary flag will represent whether the file is a binary file or a text file.

This is available for diffs generated for most SCMs.

When parsing a diff representing a symlink, information on the old and new symlink targets are now available in the extra_data field as old_symlink_target and new_symlink_target keys.

This currently applies to newly-uploaded Git diffs, Git-like Mercurial diffs, and DiffX files.

When parsing a diff containing UNIX file mode changes, information on the old and new file modes are now now available in the extra_data field as old_unix_mode and new_unix_mode.

This currently applies to newly-uploaded Git diffs, Git-like Mercurial diffs, and DiffX files.
