New Features
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
General
|
||||
~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
* New `copyMaxScore` setting for labels.
|
||||
+
|
||||
Labels can be link:http://gerrit-documentation.googlecode.com/svn/Documentation/2.7/config-labels.html#label_copyMaxScore[
|
||||
configured] to copy approvals forward to the next patch set.
|
||||
|
||||
* Comment links can be link:http://gerrit-documentation.googlecode.com/svn/Documentation/2.7/config-gerrit.html#commentlink[
|
||||
defined per project in the project configuration].
|
||||
|
||||
* Gerrit administrators can define project-specific themes.
|
||||
+
|
||||
Themes can be link:http://gerrit-documentation.googlecode.com/svn/Documentation/2.7/config-themes.html[
|
||||
configured site-wide or per project].
|
||||
|
||||
* New '/a/tools' URL.
|
||||
+
|
||||
This allows users to download the `commit-msg` hook via the command line if the
|
||||
Gerrit server requires authentication globally.
|
||||
|
||||
* New 'Stream Events' global capability.
|
||||
+
|
||||
The link:http://gerrit-documentation.googlecode.com/svn/Documentation/2.7/access-control.txt#capability_streamEvents[
|
||||
Stream Events capability] controls access to the `stream-events` ssh command.
|
||||
+
|
||||
Only administrators and users having this capability are allowed to use `stream-events`.
|
||||
|
||||
* Allow opening new changes on existing commits.
|
||||
+
|
||||
The %base argument can be used with refs/for/ to identify a specific revision the server should
|
||||
start to look for new commits at. Any commits in the range $base..$tip will be opened as a new
|
||||
change, even if the commit already has another change on a different branch.
|
||||
|
||||
* New setting `gitweb.linkDrafts` to control if gitweb links are shown on drafts.
|
||||
+
|
||||
By default, Gerrit will show links to gitweb on all patch sets. If the
|
||||
link:http://gerrit-documentation.googlecode.com/svn/Documentation/2.7/config-gerrit.html#gitweb.linkDrafts[
|
||||
gitweb.linkDrafts setting] is set to 'false', links will not be shown on
|
||||
draft patch sets.
|
||||
|
||||
* Allow changes to be automatically submitted on push.
|
||||
+
|
||||
Teams that want to use Gerrit's submit strategies to handle contention on busy
|
||||
branches can use %submit to create a change and have it
|
||||
link:link:http://gerrit-documentation.googlecode.com/svn/Documentation/2.7/user-upload.html#auto_merge[
|
||||
immediately submitted], if the caller has Submit permission on refs/for/<ref>.

||||

|
||||

Don't discard inline comments when escape key is pressed.
|

|
||||
* link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=1863[Issue 1863]:
|
||||
Drop Arial Unicode MS font and request only sans-serif.
|
||||
+
|
||||
Arial Unicode MS does not have a bold version. Selecting this font prevents
|

and allow the browser to use the user's preferred font in this family.
