Review Board 2.0.17 Release Notes¶

Release date: June 15, 2015

Packaging¶

Review Board now installs PyCrypto 2.6+ as a dependency.
The README is no longer missing from the package.

Extensions¶

Extensions reading/writing extra data on reviews through JavaScript can now do so through RB.Review().

Bug Fixes¶

Diff Viewer¶

Diffs for files that were copied without being modified weren’t being shown in the diff viewer.

Patch by Steven MacLeod.
Internal errors when generating diffs are now shown on the page, rather than a generic HTTP 500.

Reviews¶

Fixed the review dialog not emitting the publishing and published events, which are needed by some extensions.
Modifying a draft for a review request that depends on multiple review requests, each listing the same reviewer, who has private profiles enabled, no longer results in an HTTP 500 error.

Web API¶

Fixed some errors and regressions in showing error messages from publishing or reopening review requests.

Administration¶

Fixed database entries for reviews in the administration UI not showing the extra_data field.
