Describe the Scenario

We have a page with 1000+ revisions in count (and 650 rows in database), when trying to access this page revisions history, the error occurs (see logs below).

We already increased PHP and Nginx memory limits, but it's not working anymore.
We are using Nginx + PHP 7.4 + MySQL from Ubuntu repos (5.7.38-0ubuntu0.18.04.1).

Exact BookStack Version

Thanks for reporting @rockenren,

I can confirm that data fetching for the revisions list display is done very inefficiently. The revision content is being loaded in, which it does not need to be for this view, hence exhausting memory limits.

I've assigned this to be addressed for the next patch release (Targeted for release tomorrow) to directly address these inefficiencies.
I've also opened up #3638 as a longer-term improvement to dealing with high revision counts.

[ssddanbrown]

This has now been addressed as part of 031c67b and will be part of the next patch release as mentioned above. I'll therefore close this off but please still comment if you continue to experience any issues after updating once the release has been deployed.

[rockenren]

Can confirm, issue is resolved after updating to v22.07.3.
Thank you.

[ssddanbrown]

@rockenren Awesome, thanks for confirming!
