+Release notes for Gerrit 2.4.1
+==============================
+
+Gerrit 2.4.1 is now available:
+
+link:http://code.google.com/p/gerrit/downloads/detail?name=gerrit-2.4.1.war[http://code.google.com/p/gerrit/downloads/detail?name=gerrit-2.4.1.war]
+
+
+There are no schema changes from 2.4.  However, if upgrading from
+anything but 2.4, follow the upgrade procedure in the 2.4
+link:ReleaseNotes-2.4.html[ReleaseNotes].
+
+
+Bug Fixes
+---------
+* Catch all exceptions when async emailing
++
+This fixes email notification issues reported
+link:https://groups.google.com/group/repo-discuss/browse_thread/thread/dd157ebc55b962ef/652822d6fbe61e71[here].
+
+* Fixed cleanup of propagated SshScopes
++
+This improves error reporting in case of email notification errors.
+
+* issue 1394 Fix lookup of the 'Commit Message' file in patch set
++
+There is an assumption that the commit message is always first in the list of
+files of a patch set. However, there was another place in Gerrit code, which
+did binary search through the list of the files, without taking this assumption
+into account. In case when a patch set contained a file which lexicographically
+sorted before '/COMMIT_MSG' (like '.gitignore' for example) it could have
+happened that the commit message was not found and, as a side effect, it wasn't
+possible to review it.
+
+* issue 1162 Fix deadlock on destroy of CommandFactoryProvider
+
+* Honor the sendmail.smtpUser from gerrit.config on upgrade
++
+If sendmail.smtpUser was not present in the gerrit.config then don't set it in
+site upgrade.
+
+* issue 1420 Forge committer bypassed
++
+It was possible to forge committer even without having permission for that.
+This was a regression from 2.3.
+
+* Make sure the "Object too large..." error message is printed when an object
+larger than receive.maxObjectSizeLimit is rejected by Gerrit
+
+* Display proper error if file diff fails because content is too large
+
+* Get around a log4j bug that causes AsyncAppender-Dispatcher thread to die and
+block other threads
+** Make async logging buffer size configurable
+** Make logging events discardable, prevent NPE in AsyncAppender-Dispatcher thread
