------------
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|

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.
