|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
Gerrit 2.0.22 is now available in the usual location:
|
|
|
|
link:https://www.gerritcodereview.com/download/index.html[https://www.gerritcodereview.com/download/index.html]
|
|

|
Schema Change
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
There is no schema change in this release.
|
|
|
|
* Restriction on SSH Username
|
|
+
|
|
There is a new restriction placed on the SSH Username field
|
|
within an account. Users who are using invalid names should
|
|
be asked to change their name to something more suitable.
|
|
Administrators can identify these users with the following query:
|
|
----
|
|
-- PostgreSQL
|
|
SELECT account_id,preferred_email,ssh_user_name
|
|
FROM accounts
|
|
WHERE NOT (ssh_user_name ~ '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9._-]*[a-zA-Z0-9]$');
|
|
|
|
-- MySQL
|
|
SELECT account_id,preferred_email,ssh_user_name
|
|
FROM accounts
|
|
WHERE NOT (ssh_user_name REGEXP '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9._-]*[a-zA-Z0-9]$');
|
|
----
|
|
Administrators can force these users to select a new name by
|
|
setting ssh_user_name to NULL; the user will not be able to
|
|
login over SSH until they return and select a new name.
|
|
|
|
|
|
New Features
|
|
------------
|
|
* GERRIT-280 create-project: Add --branch and cleanup arguments
|
|
+
|
|
The --branch option to create-project can be used to setup the
|
|
default initial branch to be a name other than 'master'.
|
|
Argument parsing also changed slightly, especially around the
|
|
boolean options and submit type. Please recheck the documentation
|
|
and/or the output of --help.
|
|
|
|
* GERRIT-216 Add slave mode to ssh daemon
|
|
+
|
|
The standalone SSH daemon can now be run in a read-only
|
|
mode. This allows use Gerrit's access control database for
|
|
access decisions when serving a read-only copy of the project
|
|
repositories. Placing a read-only slave local to a remote office
|
|
may reduce sync times for those closer to the slave server.
|
|
|
|
* Enable multi-line comment highlighting for Scala code
|
|
+
|
|
Scala source code now highlights more like Java source code does,
|
|
especially for multiline `/** ... */` style comments.
|
|
|
|
* GERRIT-271 Enable forcing ldap.accountSshUserName to lowercase
|
|
+
|
|
The following properties may now be configured from LDAP using
|
|
more complex expressions: accountFullName, accountEmailAddress,
|
|
accountSshUserName. Property expressions permit forcing
|
|
to a lowercase string, or performing string concatenation.
|
|
These features may help some environments to better integrate
|
|
with their local LDAP server.
|
|
|
|
* Support username/password authentication by LDAP
|
|
+
|
|
A new auth.type of LDAP was added to support Gerrit prompting
|
|
the end-user for their username and password, and then doing a
|
|
simple bind against the LDAP server to authenticate the user.
|
|
This can simplify installation in environments which lack a
|
|
web based single-sign-on solution, but which already have a
|
|
centralized LDAP directory for user management.
|
|
|
|
* Inform submitter of merge failure by dialog box
|
|
+
|
|
When a change submit fails, a dialog box is now displayed showing
|
|
the merge failure message. This saves the user from needing to
|
|
scroll down to the end of the change page to determine if their
|
|
submit was successful, or not.
|
|
|
|
* Better submit error messages
|
|
+
|
|
Missing dependency submit errors are now much more descriptive
|
|
of the problem, helping the user to troubleshoot the issue on
|
|
their own. Merge errors from projects using the cherry-pick
|
|
and fast-forward submit types are also more descriptive of the
|
|
real cause. Unfortunately path conflict errors are not any more
|
|
descriptive, but path conflict is now only reported when there
|
|
is actually a path conflict.
|
|
|
|
* issue 285 Include pull command line in email notifications
|
|
+
|
|
Sample git pull lines are now included in email notifications.
|
|
|
|
Bug Fixes
|
|
---------
|
|
* create-project: Document needing to double quote descr...
|
|
+
|
|
The --description flag to create-project require two levels
|
|
of quoting if the new description string contains whitespace.
|
|
The documentation has been updated to reflect that, and shows some
|
|
examples . Unfortunately this is not easily fixed in software,
|
|
due to the way the SSH client passes the command line to the
|
|
remote server.
|
|
|
|
* GERRIT-281 daemon: Remove unnecessary requirement of HttpServletR...
|
|
+
|
|
The standalone SSH daemon now starts correctly, without needing
|
|
to put the Java servlet API into the CLASSPATH.
|
|
|
|
* Enforce Account.sshUserName to match expression
|
|
* Restrict typeable characters in SSH username
|
|
* Disallow ., `_` and - in end of SSH Username
|
|
+
|
|
SSH usernames were permitted to contain any character, including
|
|
oddball characters like '\0' and '/'. We really want them to
|
|
be a restricted subset which won't cause errors when we try to
|
|
map SSH usernames as file names in a Git repository as we try
|
|
to move away from an SQL database.
|
|
|
|
* GERRIT-282 Fix reply to comment on left side
|
|
+
|
|
Clicking 'Reply' to a comment on the left hand side sometimes
|
|
generated a server error due to a subtle bug in how the reply
|
|
was being setup. Fixed.
|
|
|
|
* issue 282 Fix NullPointerException if ldap.password is missing
|
|
+
|
|
The server NPE'd when trying to open an LDAP connection if
|
|
ldap.username was set, but ldap.password was missing. We now
|
|
assume an unset ldap.password is the same as an empty password.
|
|
|
|
* issue 284 Make cursor pointer when hovering over OpenID links
|
|
+
|
|
The cursor was wrong in the OpenID sign-in dialog. Fixed.
|
|
|
|
* Use abbreviated Change-Id in merge messages
|
|
+
|
|
Merge commits created by Gerrit were still using the older style
|
|
integer change number; changed to use the abbreviated Change-Id.
|
|
|
