Release notes for Gerrit 2.6
|
||||
============================
|
||||
|
||||
Gerrit 2.6 is now available:
|
||||
|
||||
link:http://code.google.com/p/gerrit/downloads/detail?name=gerrit-full-2.6.war[http://code.google.com/p/gerrit/downloads/detail?name=gerrit-full-2.6.war]
|
||||
|
||||
Schema Change
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
*WARNING:* This release contains schema changes. To upgrade:
|
||||
----
|
||||
java -jar gerrit.war init -d site_path
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
*WARNING:* Upgrading to 2.6.x requires the server be first upgraded to 2.1.7 (or
|
||||
a later 2.1.x version), and then to 2.6.x. If you are upgrading from 2.2.x.x or
|
||||
newer, you may ignore this warning and upgrade directly to 2.6.x.
|
||||
|
||||
New Features
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
Review UI
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
* The reviewer matrix on a change displays gray boxes where
|
||||
permissions do not allow voting in that category. The coloring
|
||||
enables authors to quickly identify if another reviewer is
|
||||
necessary to continue the change.
|
||||
|
||||
* New 'Rebase If Necessary' submit type. This is similar to cherry
|
||||
pick, but honors change dependency information.
|
||||
* Submit type displayed per-change in the info block.
|
||||
* Submit type selectable per-change by `submit_type` Prolog rules.
|
||||
|
||||
* Rebase button is hidden when patch set is current.
|
||||
|
||||
* `suggest.from` configures a minimum number of characters before
|
||||
matches for reviewers, accounts, groups or projects are offered.
|
||||
|
||||
Access Controls
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
* Remove Reviewer is a new permission.
|
||||
|
||||
* LDAP group names are configurable, `cn` is still the default.
|
||||
* LDAP cache reduces the number of recursive group queries.
|
||||
* Kerberos authentication to LDAP servers is now supported.
|
||||
|
||||
* Basic project properities are now inherited by default from parent
|
||||
projects: Use Content Merge, Require Contributor Agreement, Require
|
||||
Change Id, Require Signed Off By.
|
||||
|
||||
Hooks
|
||||
~~~~~
|
||||
* Change topic is passed to hooks as `--topic NAME`.
|
||||
* New `reviewer-added` hook called when a reviewer is added.
|
||||
* New `reviewer-added` event is sent by stream-events.
|
||||
|
||||
SSH
|
||||
~~~
|
||||
* `create-account --http-password` enables setting/resetting the
|
||||
HTTP password of role accounts, for Git or JSON API access.
|
||||
|
||||
* `ls-projects --has-acl-for` lists projects that mention a group
|
||||
in an ACL, identifying where rights are granted.
|
||||
|
||||
* `query` includes submit record information from Prolog rules.
|
||||
* `query` includes `resumeSortKey` in summary block.
|
||||
* `query` includes author and change size information when given
|
||||
certain options on the command line.
|
||||
|
||||
Plugins
|
||||
~~~~~~~
|
||||
* Plugins can contribute Prolog facts/predicates from Java.
|
||||
* Plugins can prompt for parameters during `init` with `InitStep`.
|
||||
* Plugins can now contribute JavaScript to the web UI. UI plugins can
|
||||
also be written and compiled with GWT.
|
||||
* New Maven archetypes for JavaScript and GWT plugins.
|
||||
|
||||
EMail
|
||||
~~~~~
|
||||
* Email footers now include `Gerrit-HasInlineComments: {Yes|No}`.
|
||||
* Notifications configured in project.config can now be addressed
|
||||
using any of To, CC, or BCC headers.
|
||||
|
||||
* `#if($email.hasInlineComments())` can be used in templates to test
|
||||
if there are comments to be included in this email.
|
||||
|
||||
Upgrades
|
||||
~~~~~~~~
|
||||
* Embedded Jetty is now 8.1.7.v20120910.
|
||||

|
||||
* JGit is now 2.1.0.201209190230-r.
|
||||
|
||||
Bug Fixes
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
Web UI
|
||||
~~~~~~
|
||||
* CLA hyperlink on registration page was broken.
|
||||
* Links to CGit were broken when remove-suffix was enabled.
|
||||
* Improved creation of inline comment editors, avoiding multiple
|
||||
draft editors on the same line of code.
|
||||
|
||||
Hooks
|
||||
~~~~~
|
||||
* `draft-published` event is now fired.
|
||||
|
||||
Git
|
||||
~~~
|
||||
* The regex wildcard `.` is now permitted in reference names.
|
||||
* Checking if a change is mergeable no longer writes to the repository.
|
||||
* Improved `git ls-remote` and `git fetch` performance by caching
|
||||
changes, decreasing database queries and traffic.
|
||||
* Commits pushed without a Change-Id now warn with instructions on how
|
||||
to download and install the commit-msg hook.
|
||||
* Submitted but unmerged changes are periodically retried. This is
|
||||
necessary for a multi-master configuration where the second master
|
||||
may need to retry a change not yet merged by the first. Please note
|
||||
we still do not believe this is sufficient to enable multi-master.
|
||||
|
||||
Tools
|
||||
~~~~~
|
||||
* `GREP_OPTIONS` is ignored in `commit-msg` hook, to prevent errors
|
||||
when users have the value set in the environment.
