gerrit/ReleaseNotes/ReleaseNotes-2.9.txt
Yuxuan 'fishy' Wang 4f5ad9d313 Use buck rule for ReleaseNotes instead of Makefile 
This eliminates the last Makefile in our code base.

Also change the section style within ReleaseNotes from asciidoc style to
asciidoctor style.

Also I feel that put images/link.png under ReleaseNotes and deal with
all the resource packing is too stupid, so I used the unicode emoji
instead of the picture ("🔗"). If this is too crazy, we can also use "#"
instead :) This also affects documentation rendering.

Other side effects:

1. The css of release notes switched from default asciidoc css into
default asciidoctor css.
2. The section anchors for ReleaseNotes/index.html changed from "2_13"
to "s2_13", because asciidoctorj is unhappy with anchors without
letters.

link:https://www.gerritcodereview.com/download/gerrit-2.9.war[
https://www.gerritcodereview.com/download/gerrit-2.9.war]
*WARNING:* Support for Java 1.6 has been discontinued.
As of Gerrit 2.9, Java 1.7 is required.
Gerrit 2.9 includes the bug fixes done with
link:ReleaseNotes-2.8.1.html[Gerrit 2.8.1],
link:ReleaseNotes-2.8.2.html[Gerrit 2.8.2],
link:ReleaseNotes-2.8.3.html[Gerrit 2.8.3],

link:ReleaseNotes-2.8.6.1.html[Gerrit 2.8.6.1].
These bug fixes are *not* listed in these release notes.
== Important Notes
*WARNING:* This release contains schema changes. To upgrade:
----
java -jar gerrit.war init -d site_path
java -jar gerrit.war reindex --recheck-mergeable -d site_path
----
*WARNING:* Upgrading to 2.9.x requires the server be first upgraded to 2.1.7 (or
a later 2.1.x version), and then to 2.9.x. If you are upgrading from 2.2.x.x or
later, you may ignore this warning and upgrade directly to 2.9.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].
*WARNING:* Support for query via the SQL index is removed. The usage of
a secondary index is now mandatory.
*WARNING:* The `sortkey` and `sortkey_prev` options on the query changes
REST endpoint are link:#sortkey-deprecation[deprecated].
*WARNING:* The new change screen only displays download commands if the
`download-commands` core plugin or any other plugin providing download
commands is installed. The `download-commands` plugin provides the
standard download schemes and commands. It is packaged together with
Gerrit and can be installed, or upgraded, during the
link:https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/pgm-init.html[
site initialization]:
.Installing the plugin for the first time
- Batch init:
+
By default the batch init does *not* install any core plugin. To
install the `download-commands` plugin during batch init, specify the
'--install-plugin download-commands' option:
+
----
$ java -jar gerrit-2.9.war init -d site --batch --install-plugin download-commands
----
- Interactive init:
+
There is a question whether the `download-commands` plugin should be
installed. To install the plugin the question must be answered with `y`:
+
----
Install plugin download-commands version v2.9 [y/N]? y
----
.Upgrading the plugin
Pay attention that the `download-commands` plugin from Gerrit 2.8 is
*not* compatible with Gerrit 2.9 and must be upgraded:
- Batch init:
+
With the batch init it is *not* possible to upgrade core plugins.
- Interactive init:
+
The interactive init asks whether the plugin should be upgraded:
+
----
Install plugin download-commands version v2.9 [y/N]? y
version v2.8.6.1 is already installed, overwrite it [y/N]? y
----
- Manual upgrade:
+
The plugin can be upgraded manually by copying the new plugin jar into
the site's `plugins` folder.
== Release Highlights
* link:http://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=2065[Issue 2065]:

documentation of the new review UI] describes the new screens in detail
and highlights the important functionality with screenshots.
+
Users that are accessing the new change screen for the first time are
informed about the new change screen by a welcome popup. The welcome
popup links to the review UI documentation and allows users to go back
to the old change screen.

create-branch] command.
=== REST API
==== Changes
[[sortkey-deprecation]]
* Results returned by the
link:https://gerrit-documentation.storage.googleapis.com/Documentation/2.9/rest-api-changes.html#list-changes[
query changes] endpoint are now paginated using offsets instead of sortkeys.
+
The `sortkey` and `sortkey_prev` parameters on the endpoint are deprecated. The
results are now paginated using the `--limit` (`-n`) option to limit the number
of results, and the `-S` option to set the start point.
+
Queries with sortkeys are still supported against old index versions, to enable
online reindexing while clients have an older JS version.
==== Projects
* link:https://gerrit-documentation.storage.googleapis.com/Documentation/2.9/rest-api-projects.html#get-content[
Get content of a file from HEAD of a branch].
==== Documentation
* link:https://gerrit-documentation.storage.googleapis.com/Documentation/2.9/rest-api-documentation.html#search-documentation.html[
Search documentation].
=== Access Rights
* New link:https://gerrit-documentation.storage.googleapis.com/Documentation/2.9/access-control.html#capability_viewAllAccounts[
global capability for viewing all accounts].
* New link:https://gerrit-documentation.storage.googleapis.com/Documentation/2.9/access-control.html#capability_viewPlugins[
global capability for viewing the list of installed plugins].
* link:http://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=1993[Issue 1993]:
New `Change Owner` group that allows to assign label permissions to the change owner.
* Support link:https://gerrit-documentation.storage.googleapis.com/Documentation/2.9/access-control.html#category_submit_on_behalf_of[
on behalf of for submit].
* Allow service users to access REST API if `auth.gitBasicAuth = true`.
+
If link:https://gerrit-documentation.storage.googleapis.com/Documentation/2.9/config-gerrit.html#auth.gitBasicAuth[
auth.gitBasicAuth] is set to `true` in the `gerrit.config` file all
HTTP traffic is authenticated using standard `BasicAuth` and the
credentials are validated using the same auth method as configured for
the Gerrit Web UI. E.g. for LDAP this means that users must use their
LDAP password for Git over HTTP and for accessing the REST API.
+
Service users are technical users that were created by the
`create-account` SSH command. These users only exist in Gerrit and
hence they do not have any LDAP password. This is why service users
were not able to make use of the REST API if `auth.gitBasicAuth` was
set to `true`.
+
Now if `auth.gitBasicAuth` is set to `true` users that exist only in
Gerrit but not in LDAP are authenticated with their HTTP password from
the Gerrit database.

conflicts] search operator.
+
Finds changes that conflict with the specified change.
* New operators for absolute last-updated-on search.

Instead, use Lucene's QueryBuilder with an analyzer to convert a
full-text search word/phrase into a phrase query.

* Update Lucene to 4.6.0

== Plugins
=== Replication
* Default push refSpec is changed to `refs/*:refs/*` (non-forced push).
+
The default push refSpec for the replication plugin has changed from `forced`
to `non-forced` push (was `+refs/*:refs/*` and now is `refs/*:refs/*`). This change
should not impact typical replication topologies where the slaves are read-only
and can be pushed by their masters only. If you wanted explicitly to overwrite
all changes on the slaves, you need to add a `push=+refs/*:refs/*` configuration
entry for each replication target.
* Support replication of HEAD updates.
* Stream events for ref replication.
* Replications failed due to "failed to lock" errors are retried.
* Configuration changes can be detected and replication is
automatically restarted.
=== Issue Tracker System plugins
*WARNING:* The `hooks-*` plugins (`plugins/hooks-bugzilla`,
`plugins/hooks-jira` and `plugins/hooks-rtc`) are deprecated with
Gerrit 2.9.
There are new plugins for the integration with Bugzilla, Jira and IBM
Rational Team Concert:
* link:https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/#/admin/projects/plugins/its-bugzilla[plugins/its-bugzilla]
* link:https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/#/admin/projects/plugins/its-jira[plugins/its-jira]
* link:https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/#/admin/projects/plugins/its-rtc[plugins/its-rtc]
The new issue tracker system plugins have a common base which is
link:https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/#/admin/projects/plugins/its-base[plugins/its-base].
The configuration of the new plugins is slightly different than the
configuration of the old plugins because they use different section
names in the Gerrit configuration. For easy migration the new plugins
have an init step that allows to take over the configuration from the
old plugins during the Gerrit initialization phase.
New Features:
* The issue tracker integration can be enabled/disabled per project.
* Parent projects can enforce the issue tracker integration for their
child projects.
* It can be configured for which branches of a project the issue
tracker integration is enabled.
* Whether the issue tracker integration is enabled/disabled for a
project can be changed from the ProjectInfoScreen in the Gerrit
WebUI.
