Kiln release notes:
- The Kiln client is now available for Mac OS X. If you're on Mac OS X, you can now use Tortoise, complete with full auto-update capabilities, drag-and-drop install, and more.
- Reviews are now live. If you edit a review, everyone else in the review sees it immediately, automatically. No more hitting "Reload" every few seconds.
- You can now create a review at push time by using the new
push --reviewcommand. - Problems with diff timeouts have largely been fixed. This is a tough one; a lot of you like to make absolutely massive changesets, which pose interesting problems for us. We're not all the way there, but the situation's a lot better.
- Problems with non-ASCII file encodings causing source code content indexing to hang have been fixed. Note that non-ASCII file names may not be properly indexed, but it shouldn't hang your Kiln Storage Service, either. (We're working on a new elasticsearch-based code search solution that'll be available son and will solve this problem completely.)
- Problems with IE8 and IE9 have been fixed. As a reminder, IE7 is no longer supported.
- Firefox 10 (its current beta, anyway) works again with Kiln.
- We've landed numerous performance improvements, especially for very large Kiln accounts and their activity feeds.
- Lots of small bug fixes and UI improvements, including an improved URL scheme for projects and repositories.
No database upgrade is required, so the process should be very quick.
