Release notes for Gerrit 2.1.5
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
Gerrit 2.1.5 is now available:
|
|
|
|
link:https://www.gerritcodereview.com/download/gerrit-2.1.5.war[https://www.gerritcodereview.com/download/gerrit-2.1.5.war]
|
|
|
|
This is primarily a bug fix release to 2.1.4, but some additional
|
|
new features were included so its named 2.1.5 rather than 2.1.4.1.
|
|
|
|
Upgrade Instructions
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
If upgrading from version 2.1.4, simply replace the WAR file in
|
|
`'site_path'/bin/gerrit.war` and restart Gerrit.
|
|
|
|
If upgrading from version 2.1.3 or earlier, stop Gerrit, use
|
|
`java -jar gerrit.war init -d 'site_path'` to upgrade the schema,
|
|
and restart Gerrit.
|
|
|
|
New Features
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Web UI
|
|
~~~~~~
|
|
* issue 361 Enable commenting on commit messages
|
|
+
|
|
The commit message of a change can now be commented on inline, and
|
|
even compared between patch sets, just like any other file contents.
|
|
The message is presented as a magical file called 'Commit Message',
|
|
in the first row of every change.
|
|
|
|
* issue 312 Implement 'Restore Change' to undo 'Abandon Change'
|
|
+
|
|
Any user who can abandon a change (the change owner, project owner,
|
|
or any site administrator) can now restore the change from Abandoned
|
|
status back to Review in Progress.
|
|
|
|
* issue 583 Enable/disable download protocols
|
|
+
|
|
The new download section in `gerrit.config` controls how the patch
|
|
set download links are presented in the web UI. Administrators
|
|
can use this section to enable `repo download`, `git://`, or to
|
|
disable `http://` style URLs. This section replaces the older
|
|
repo.showDownloadCommand.
|
|
|
|
* issue 499 Display the size of a patch (lines added/removed)
|
|
+
|
|
A 'diffstat' is shown for each file, summarizing the size of the
|
|
change on that file in terms of number of lines added or deleted.
|
|
|
|
Email Notifications
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
* issue 452 Include a quick summary of the size of a change in email
|
|
+
|
|
After the file listing, a summary totaling the number of files
|
|
changed, lines added, and lines removed is displayed. This may
|
|
help reviewers to get a quick estimation on the time required for
|
|
them to review the change.
|
|
|
|
Bug Fixes
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
Web UI
|
|
~~~~~~
|
|
* issue 639 Fix keyboard shortcuts under Chrome/Safari
|
|
+
|
|
Keyboard shortcuts didn't work properly on modern WebKit browsers
|
|
like Chrome and Safari. We kept trying to blame this on the browser,
|
|
but it was Gerrit Code Review at fault. The UI was using the wrong
|
|
listener type to receive keyboard events in comment editors. Fixed.
|
|
|
|
* Make 'u' go up to the last change listing
|
|
+
|
|
Previously the 'u' key on a change page was hardcoded to take
|
|
the user to their own dashboard. However, if they arrived at the
|
|
change through a query such as `is:starred status:open`, this was
|
|
quite annoying, as the query had to be started over again to move
|
|
to the next matching change. Now the 'u' key goes back to the
|
|
query results.
|
|
|
|
* issue 671 Honor user's syntax coloring preference in unified view
|
|
+
|
|
The user's syntax coloring preference was always ignored in the
|
|
unified view, even though the side-by-side view honored it. Fixed.
|
|
|
|
* issue 651 Display stars in dependency tables
|
|
+
|
|
The 'Depends On' and 'Needed By' tables on a change page did not
|
|
show the current user's star settings, even though the star icon
|
|
is present and will toggle the user's starred flag for that change.
|
|
Fixed.
|
|
|
|
Access Control
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
* issue 672 Fix branch owner adding exclusive ACL
|
|
+
|
|
Branch owners could not add exclusive ACLs within their branch
|
|
namespace. This was caused by the server trying to match the leading
|
|
`-` entered by the branch administrator against patterns that did
|
|
not contain `-`, and therefore always failed. Fixed by removing
|
|
the magical `-` from the proposed new specification before testing
|
|
the access rights.
|
|
|
|
* '@' in ref specs shouldn't be magical.
|
|
+
|
|
The dk.brics.automaton package that is used to handle regular
|
|
expressions on branch access patterns supports '@' to mean
|
|
"any string". We don't want that behavior. Fixed by disabling
|
|
the optional features of dk.brics.automaton, thereby making '@'
|
|
mean a literal '@' sign as expected.
|
|
|
|
* issue 668 Fix inherited Read Access +2 not inheriting
|
|
+
|
|
Upload access (aka Read +2) did not inherit properly from the parent
|
|
project (e.g. '\-- All Projects \--') if there was any branch level
|
|
Read access control within the local project. This was a coding
|
|
bug which failed to consider the project inheritance if any branch
|
|
(not just the one being uploaded to) denied upload access.
|
|
|
|
Misc.
|
|
~~~~~
|
|
* issue 641 Don't pass null arguments to hooks
|
|
+
|
|
Some hooks crashed inside of the server during invocation because the
|
|
`gerrit.canonicalWebUrl` variable wasn't configured, and the hook
|
|
was started out of an SSH or background thread context, so the URL
|
|
couldn't be assumed from the current request. The bug was worked
|
|
around by not passing the `\--change-url` flag in these cases.
|
|
Administrators whose hooks always need the flag should configure
|
|
`gerrit.canonicalWebUrl`.
|
|
|
|
* issue 652 Fix NPE during merge failure on new branch
|
|
+
|
|
Submitting a change with a missing dependency to a new branch
|
|
resulted in a NullPointerException in the server, because the server
|
|
tried to create the branch anyway, even though there was no commit
|
|
ready because one or more dependencies were missing. Fixed.
|
|
|
|
* Fix NPE while matching `file:^` pattern on deleted files
|
|
+
|
|
Sending email notifications crashed with NullPointerException if the
|
|
change contained a deleted file and one or more users had a project
|
|
watch on that project using a `file:^` pattern in their filter.
|
|
Fixed.
|
|
|
|
* issue 658 Allow to use refspec shortcuts for push replication
|
|
+
|
|
A push refspec of `refs/heads/\*` in replication.config is now
|
|
supported as a shorthand notation for `refs/heads/\*:refs/heads/\*`.
|
|
|
|
* issue 676 Fix clearing of topic during replace
|
|
+
|
|
The topic was cleared if a replacement patch set was uploaded without
|
|
the topic name. The topic is now left as-is during replacement
|
|
if no new topic was supplied. If a new topic is supplied, it is
|
|
changed to match the new topic given.
|
|
|
|
* Allow ; and & to separate parameters in gitweb
|
|
+
|
|
gitweb.cgi accepts either ';' or '&' between parameters, but
|
|
Gerrit Code Review was only accepting the ';' syntax. Fixed
|
|
to support both.
|
|
|
|
Documentation
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
* Fixed example for gerrit create-account.
|
|
* gerrit.sh: Correct /etc/default path in error message
