Release notes for Gerrit 2.1.6.1 ================================ Gerrit 2.1.6.1 is now available: link:https://www.gerritcodereview.com/download/gerrit-2.1.6.1.war[https://www.gerritcodereview.com/download/gerrit-2.1.6.1.war] Schema Change ------------- If upgrading from 2.1.6, there are no schema changes. Replace the WAR and restart the daemon. If upgrading from 2.1.5 or earlier, there are schema changes. To upgrade: ---- java -jar gerrit.war init -d site_path ---- New Features ------------ * Display the originator of each access rule + The project access panel now shows which project each rule inherits from. This can be informative when the inheritance chain is more than 1 project deep (for example C inherits from B, which inherits from A, which inherits from \-- All Projects \--). * Improved user->gerrit push speed + Pushing changes for review (or directly to a branch) should be quicker now, especially if the project contains many changes. * Allow Owner permission to inherit + The project Owner permission can now be inherited from any parent project, provided that the parent project is not the root level \-- All Projects \--. Bug Fixes --------- * Fix disabled intraline difference checkbox + Intraline difference couldn't be enabled once it was disabled by a user in their user preferences. Fixed. * Fix push over HTTP + Users couldn't push to Gerrit over http://, due to a bug in the way user authentication was handled for the request. Fixed. * issue 751 Update displayed owner group after group rename + The group owner field didn't update when a group was self-owned, and the self-owned group was renamed. This left the owner name at the old name, leaving the user to wonder if the group owner was also reassigned by another user. Fixed. * init: Fix string out of bounds when importing projects + Project importing died when the top level directory contained a ".git" directory (usually by accident by the site administrator). Fixed.
