+Bug Fixes
+---------
+
+* link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=2801[Issue 2801]:
+Set default for review SSH command to `notify=ALL`.
++
+In 2.9 the default was incorrectly set to `notify=NONE`, which prevented
+mail notifications from being sent for review comments that were added by
+build jobs based on the Gerrit Trigger plugin.
+
+* link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=2879[Issue 2879]:
+Remove fixed limit of results returned by secondary index query.
++
+The limit was hard-coded to 1000 results, which overrode the value set in
+the global query limit capability.
+
+* Don't require secondary index when running server in daemon mode.
++
+The server failed to start if a secondary index was not present when starting
+the daemon in slave mode.
++
+Now the daemon can be started in slave mode without requiring the index
+to be present.
++
+The reindex program and the ssh query command are no longer available on
+a server that is running in slave mode.
+
+* Add full names for options on list groups REST API.
+
+* Add full names for options on list projects REST API.
+
+* link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=2878[Issue 2878]:
+Make `-S` an alias of `--start` in changes query REST API.
+
+* Run change hooks and ref-updated events after indexing is done.
++
+The change hooks and ref-updated events were run parallel to the change
+(re)indexing. This meant that the event-stream sent events to the clients
+before the change indexing was finished.
+
+* link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=2877[Issue 2877]:
+Fix NullPointerException when ReviewInput's message is empty.
+
+* link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=2500[Issue 2500],
+link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=1748[Issue 1748]:
+Fix replication of tags.
+
+* Fix NullPointerException in `/projects/{name}/children?recursive` when a
+project has a parent project that is does not exist.
+
+* Fix NullPointerException when submitting review with inline comments via REST.
+
+* Improve error logging in MergeabilityChecker.
+
+* Gracefully skip mergeability checking on broken changes.
+
+* link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=2861[Issue 2861]:
+Replace "line" with "end_line" when range is given in inline comment.
++
+Also update the documentation with an example of a range comment.
+
+* Fix mutual exclusivity of --delete and --submit review command options.
+
+* link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=2848[Issue 2848]:
+Add support for CSharp syntax highlighting.
+
+* link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=2831[Issue 2831]:
+Add missing call to ref-updated hook for submodule updates.
+
+* link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=2773[Issue 2773]
+Fix stale dates in committer field.
+
+* Prevent NullPointerException when trying to add an account that doesn't
+exist as a reviewer.
+
+* Fix potential NullPointerException in cherry-pick submit strategy.
+
+* Add `--start` option to skip changes in ssh `query` command.
+
+* Fix loading of javascript plugins when using non-root Gerrit URLs.
++
+When Gerrit is not on the root URL path the javascript plugins failed to
+load because of the exact matching required on the request URL.
+
+* link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=2279[Issue 2279]:
+Display parents for all changes, not only merge commits.
++
+In the new change screen the parent commit is now also shown for regular
+commits, as well as merge commits. This makes it consistent with the old
+change screen.
