If a change could not be loaded from the database, for example if it was

manually removed from the changes table but references to it were remaining
|

in other tables, a null change was returned which would then lead to an
|

'Internal Server Error' that was difficult to track down. Now an error is
|

raised earlier which will help administrators to find the root cause.

* Allow plugins to get the caller in merge validation requests.

caller (the user who initiated the merge) in the `onPreMerge` method.

Fix repeated reloading of plugins when running on OpenJDK 8.

|

OpenJDK 8 uses nanotime precision for file modification time on systems that

are POSIX 2008 compatible. This leads to precision incompatibility when
|
||||
comparing the plugin's JAR file timestamp, resulting in the plugin being

reloaded every minute.
