List of Public Subversion Repositories

A new page has been added that lists all public Subversion repositories on XP-Dev.com. This is an opt-in list.

To get your open source repository listed on this page, you will have to:

You need to be the repository owner to be able to perform the following steps

1. Head over to your subversion homepage
2. Select the repository of your choice
3. Edit your repository (click on the edit link on the right)
4. Ensure that the following settings are turned on:
   1. Public
   2. List on Page
5. Click on Save

You should see your repository listed on the public Subversion repositories page

Minimum Commit Log Length

Subversion repositories can be configured to ensure that all comments are of a certain length. The idea is to be able to:

1. Enforce that all commits have a comment/log message
   Set Min Comment Length to 1
2. Enfore that all commits have a comment/log message of a certain length
   Set Min Comment Length to the desired length

Having a Min Comment Length of 0 (default) allows commits without any comment/log message.

Comments Editing

Comment owners can edit their comments. This applies to all commentable pages – Blogs, Forums, Support Tickets, Stories, Tasks, Bugs, etc.

Timezone Overrides

All times displayed on XP-Dev.com pages default to GMT. Users can now override this from their settings page and set their local timezones there.

This will take effect immediately and display all dates in the overridden timezone.

Notification E-Mail Encoding

Notification emails are sent out whenever certain entities (Stories, Tasks, Bugs, etc) have been created, updated or deleted. This release fixes an issue with these emails where the encoding was not set, which resulted in non-ascii characters being displayed incorrectly.

All notification emails are set to UTF-8 now. This applies to Subversion post commit emails as well.

Remember-Me Login

You can save the trouble of logging in again by turning on the “Remember Me” option at the login form.

Please do not enable this for shared/public workstations.

The cookie has a lifetime of 2 weeks and you will need to re-login after this period.

If you don’t turn this option on, you will be automatically logged out after 3 hours of inactivity.
