ChangeLog:

* Tue Nov 15 2011 Stephen Gallagher <sgallagh at redhat.com> - 1.5.7-1
- New upstream security release 1.5.7
- Security Fixes:
-    A script injection vulnerability was discovered in the commenting system.
     This affected the diff viewer and screenshot pages, and allowed a
     commenter to break the page and execute JavaScript
* Mon Aug 22 2011 Stephen Gallagher <sgallagh at redhat.com> - 1.5.6-1
- New upstream release 1.5.6
- http://www.reviewboard.org/docs/releasenotes/dev/reviewboard/1.5.6/
- New Features:
-   The PATH environment variable is now shown in the error when patch.exe
    can't be found, in order to help figure out where it needs to go
-   rb-site more clearly informs that an existing database with valid
    permissions is needed for installation
-   rb-site now lists recommendations for different services, and lists
    options that aren’t officially supported
-   Tabs in the diff viewer are now marked up, allowing custom stylesheets to
    display them differently. By default, they don’t look any different
-   Added Fedora Hosted to the hosting provider options
-   Editing a field and then canceling it on a review request now prompts for
    confirmation before discarding the new text
-   Control-S now saves the current text in review request fields
-   We now support storing lots of text in the Description and Testing Done
    fields on MySQL
- Performance Improvements:
-   Review Board now requires Pygments 1.4 or higher. Older installations
    running older versions of Pygments should get a performance increase when
    rendering diffs
- Bug Fixes:
-   Using Review Board with wsgi without mod_python installed on the system no
    longer prevents Review Board from breaking
-   Screenshot draft captions are now always displayed correctly. Previously,
    only the main caption would display, making them appear blank on new
    uploads
-   Changing screenshot draft captions now invalidates the cache, allowing
    them to be seen when reloading the page
-   When sending an e-mail, we no longer crash if the sender has no e-mail
    address
-   Caching really long files or diffs now works more consistently.
    Previously, it was possible for the data to not be stored correctly
-   Fixed a date range calculation sometimes causing the log viewer to fail on
    the first of the month
-   Failing to load the Review Board News feed in the administration UI due to
    a proxy will no longer cause an HTTP 500 error to display
-   Invalid bug tracker URLs (those containing more than one %s, for example)
    in the administration UI no longer breaks review requests
-   The Mercurial support no longer overrides the SSH client configuration if
    one is already provided
-   The recaptcha_client dependency has been renamed to recaptcha-client. Both
    technically work, but the former is more correct and makes packaging
    easier
-   Fixed a few occasional errors that could show up on the dashboard under
    certain conditions
* Fri Jun 17 2011 Stephen Gallagher <sgallagh at redhat.com> - 1.5.5-2
- Resolves: rhbz#598463 - rb-site suggest that I use an unsafe temporary
-                         directory
