|
|
*WARNING:* Upgrading to 2.12.x requires the server be first upgraded to 2.8 (or
|
|
2.9) and then to 2.12.x. If you are upgrading from 2.8.x or later, you may ignore

|
this warning and upgrade directly to 2.12.x.

|
|
|
*WARNING:* When upgrading from version 2.8.4 or older with a site that uses
|
|
Bouncy Castle Crypto, new versions of the libraries will be downloaded. The old
|
|
libraries should be manually removed from site's `lib` folder to prevent the
|
|
startup failure described in
|
|
link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=3084[Issue 3084].
|
|
|

|
|
`sshd.enableCompression` setting].

|
+

|

|
|
link:https://gerrit-documentation.storage.googleapis.com/Documentation/2.12/config-gerrit.html#changeCleanup[

|
|
changes and automatically abandon them.
|
|

|
|
|
|
* Download commands plugin: Use commit IDs for download commands when change refs are hidden.
|
|
+
|
|
Git has a configuration option to hide refs from the initial advertisement
|
|
(`uploadpack.hideRefs`). This option can be used to hide the change refs from
|
|
the client. As consequence this prevented fetching changes by change ref from
|
|
working.
|
|
+
|
|
Setting `download.checkForHiddenChangeRefs` in the `gerrit.config` to true
|
|
allows the download commands plugin to check for hidden change refs.
