|

|
||||
* Add a "revert change"-button to a submitted patchset
|
||||
+
|
||||
Clicking "Revert Change" creates a new change with the inverse of
|
||||
the submitted patch set ready for review and submission. This makes
|

it easy to undo a build-breaking change right from the web UI.
|
||||
|
||||
* issue 194 Diff patch sets
|
||||
+
|
||||
Change pages now offer a selection box, "Old Version History",
|
||||
to compare patch sets against one another and view only the files
|
||||
that differ between two patch sets. This new feature can speed up
|
||||
re-reviewing a change.
|
||||
|
||||
* issue 913 Support different color pallete when not signed in
|
||||
+
|
||||
Site administrators can configure a different theme in gerrit.config for
|
||||
the signed-in and signed-out states, making it more obvious to site users
|
||||
they are currently signed-in (or not).
|

|
||||
* Add parent info to each change screen Patch Set

|

This mirrors the data shown in the 'Commit Message' file, making

it easy to identify the parent(s) of the commit without opening

up the Commit Message or gitweb.

|
||||
* Remove the SSH key loading applet
|
||||
+
|
||||
The Java based SSH key loading applet is no longer included as part of
|
||||
the Gerrit Code Review interface. Users need to copy and paste their
|
||||
SSH public key files by hand.

Changes are automatically closed during direct push to branch only if

changes were closed automatically if only the Change-Id matched,
