It is therefore important to upgrade the +site with the `init` program, rather than only copying the .war file over the +existing one. + +It is recommended to run the `init` program in interactive mode. Warnings will +be suppressed in batch mode. + +---- + java -jar gerrit.war init -d site_path +---- + +Bug Fixes +--------- + +ssh +~~~ + +* Update SSHD to 0.13.0. ++ +This fixes link:https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SSHD-348[SSHD-348] which +was causing ssh threads allocated to stream-events clients to get stuck. ++ +Also update SSHD Mina to 2.0.8 and Bouncycastle to 1.51. + +Database +~~~~~~~~ + +* Update gwtorm to 1.14. ++ +The primary key column order for compound keys was wrong for some Gerrit +database tables. This caused poor performance for those SQL queries which rely +on using a prefix of the primary key column sequence in their WHERE conditions. ++ +This version of gwtorm fixes the issue for new sites. For existing sites that +were initialised with Gerrit version 2.6 or later, the primary key column +order will be fixed during initialisation when upgrading to 2.9.2. + +Secondary Index +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +* Fix "400 cannot create query for index" error in "Conflicts With" list. ++ +The new +link:https://gerrit-documentation.storage.googleapis.com/Documentation/2.9.2/config-gerrit.html#index.defaultMaxClauseCount[ +index.defaultMaxClauseCount] setting allows to increase the BooleanQuery limit +for the Lucene index. ++ +Raising the limit avoids failing a query with `BooleanQuery.TooManyClauses`, +preventing users from seeing a "400 cannot create query for index" error +in the "Conflicts With" section of the change screen. + +* link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=2996[Issue 2996]: +Delete a change from the index if it is not in the database. ++ +If for some reason the secondary index is out of date, i.e. a change was deleted +from the database but wasn't deleted from the secondary index, it was impossible +to re-index (remove) that change. ++ +Automatically remove the change from the secondary index if it doesn't exist in +the database. If a user clicks on search result from a stale change, they will +get a 404 page and the change will be removed from the index. + +Change Screen +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +* link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=2964[Issue 2964]: +Fix comment box font colors of dark CodeMirror themes. ++ +When using a dark-colored theme, for example "Twilight", the comments were +shown in a light color on a light background making them unreadable. + +* link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=2918[Issue 2918]: +Fix placement of margin column in side-by-side diff. ++ +The margin was placed approximately 10% too far to the right. + +* link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=2970[Issue 2970]: +Fix display of accented characters in side-by-side diff. ++ +On some browsers, accented characters were not displayed correctly +because the line was not high enough. + +* link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=2960[Issue 2960]: +Show filename in side-by-side diff screen. ++ +In the old side-by-side diff screen, the name of the file being diffed was shown +in the window title. This feature was missed in the new side-by-side diff screen. + +* Remove 'send email' checkbox from reply box on change screen. + +Plugins +~~~~~~~ + +* link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=543[Issue 543] +Replication plugin: Prevent creating repos on extra servers. ++ +If using a group to replicate only certain repositories, it was possible +to be in a state where the authGroup is used on some servers but not +others. If this happened, Gerrit would create the repository on all +servers, even if the authGroup would prevent replicating code to it. +By ensuring the authGroup can see the project first, the repository is +not created if it's not needed. + +Security +~~~~~~~~ + +* Do not throw away bytes from the CNSPRG when generating HTTP passwords. ++ +The implementation generated LEN bytes of cryptography-safe random data and +applied base64 encoding on top of that. The base64 transformation, however, +inflated the size of the data by 33%, and this meant that only 9 bytes of +randomness were actually used. + +* Increase the size of HTTP passwords. ++ +The length of generated HTTP passwords is increased from 12 to 42 characters. + +* Consider rule action while constructing local owners list ++ +Previously rule action was not considered during computation of the local +owners list. This meant that members of a group that was given OWNER permission +with BLOCK or DENY action were considered as project owners. + + +Miscellaneous Fixes +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +* link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=2911[Issue 2911]: +Fix Null Pointer Exception after a MergeValidationListener throws +MergeValidationException. + +* link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=2989[Issue 2989]: +Fix incorrect submodule subscriptions. ++ +The gitlinks update failed after deleting a branch in a super project which had +other branches subscribed to the same submodule branch. + +* Fix infinite loop when checking group membership. + +* Fix quoted-printable encoding of e-mail addresses. ++ +The "(Code Review)" part of the e-mail sender name was truncated when the +author's name was not pure ASCII. diff --git a/ReleaseNotes/index.txt b/ReleaseNotes/index.txt index 0b9b6112ab..028d4845ba 100644 --- a/ReleaseNotes/index.txt +++ b/ReleaseNotes/index.txt @@ -4,6 +4,7 @@ Gerrit Code Review - Release Notes [[2_9]] Version 2.9.x ------------- +* link:ReleaseNotes-2.9.2.html[2.9.2] * link:ReleaseNotes-2.9.1.html[2.9.1] * link:ReleaseNotes-2.9.html[2.9]
