Actions

Summary of changes from December 30, 2016 to January 6, 2017.

• These changes were promoted to stable.

General

• The major changes in this period are infrastructure changes to Differential, broadly covered in T11114. These shouldn't have much user-facing impact, although the comment UI in Differential now uses the newer "stacked action" UI that has been present in Maniphest and some other applications for some time.

Security

• No notes in this period.

Migrations

"Duration" is the duration for this install, and may not be representative.

Upgrading / Compatibility

• No notes in this period.

Minor Changes

• Fixed an issue where PHABRICATOR_ENV would not be passed to subprocesses with E omitted from variables_order.
• In commit messages, "Differential Revision" is now parsed when followed by ad-hoc fields.
• Fixed an issue where diff policies could improperly fail when they belonged to a revision using an object-dependent visibility policy like "Subscribers".
• Interacting with revisions that are related to objects the viewer can not see (like restricted projects or reviewers) from the command line should now be more consistent.
• The first line of commit message is now always parsed as a title, even if it begins with a recognized field label like "Reviewers:" or "Tests:". Older versions of arc may misbehave when the diff --reviewers option is used.
• Pastes which have titles set or unset now use more natural language.
• Fixed an issue where "Can Use Application" policy checks were inconsistently applied if, for example, a user who could not use Differential became subscribed to a revision.
• Redirects which add trailing slashes now respect custom ports.
• Unusual, hand-crafted artisan Git commits without timestamp information now survive import.
• Tweaked diff "old" and "new" colors to make them more distinguishable, particularly to colorblind users.
• Owners packages can now be selected by monogram in the "Reviewers" typeahead.
• Differential now shows a note about Harbormaster build status in the comment area.
• JX.Tooltip has been given a stern reprimand about rendering offscreen.
• Assigning a recurrence end date to an event which did not previously have one should no longer fatal.
