Review Board 2.5.9 Release Notes¶

Release date: February 15, 2017

Packaging¶

pytz 2015.1 or higher is now required. (Bug #4519)

Newer versions are recommended. If older versions are required for packaging purposes, check to be sure there’s a pytz.exceptions module available.

Added support for browsing commits on Mercurial repositories in the New Review Request page. (Bug #4032)

This requires Mercurial 3.9 or higher.

Patch by André Klitzing.

Added additional information to the reviewboard.reviews.signals.review_request_reopened signal.

Signal handlers can now make use of the old_status and old_public arguments to determine what the state of the review request was before it was reopened.
Fixed the My Account page not respecting the visibility of custom forms.

The User Resource now allows for displaying users who have been disabled (marked as “inactive”).

To display these users, pass ?include-inactive=1 in the query. By default, these users are not returned, but can be accessed directly.

Each user also now has a is_active field indicating this status.
Fixed a regression with logging in to Review Board using an API token.
Fixed a regression with the default ordering of results in comment-based resources.

Fixed a crash that could occur when calling certain logging statements on older versions of Python. (Bug #4523)
