Today's release of Review Board 4.0.4 introduces support for Amazon SES as an e-mail service, improves code highlighting in text areas, cron support for our Docker image, and fixes a handful of bugs.
Amazon SES
Amazon SES is a widely-used e-mail service for users of Amazon Web Services. While Review Board could communicate with it before, it wasn't compatible with SES's method of threading e-mails.
Review Board now adds direct support for SES and its e-mail threading. It will automatically detect SES and enable the correct behavior. If you're using SES today, there's nothing you need to do.
Code Highlighting
We've updated CodeMirror, which we use for text fields, from 5.48.4 to 5.62. This adds improved syntax highlighting for:
- CSS
- JSX
- Markdown
- Pascal
- Python format strings
- SQL
- Shell scripts
- TypeScript
- XML
If you've run into code highlighting problems in the past, give it a try now!
Cron for Docker
Our Docker image now supports using crontabs to run automated tasks, such as search indexing. This is done by pointing the REVIEWBOARD_CRONTAB environment variable at a cron file to load.
See the documentation for usage instructions.
Bug Fixes
That's not all. We've fixed several new bugs and regression from previous releases, including:
- Packaging fixes for Python 2.7
- Scrolling through commits in the New Review Request page
- Downloading diffs for Mercurial
- Status Updates loading issues for automated code review
- Subversion diff parsing
And more. See the release notes for the full list of changes.
