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.

== Bug Fixes
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== Secondary Index
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Disable `commitWithin` when running Reindex.
|
|
+
|
|
If `commitWithin` was set to a low value, it caused poor performance
|
|
when running the Reindex program on sites with a large amount of changes.
|
|
+
|
|
The `commitWithin` setting is now disabled from within Reindex by overriding
|
|
the configuration with '-1'. Index updates are auto-flushed but not
|
|
auto-committed, which is the least safe but the most efficient for reindexing
|
|
the entire site.
|
|
|
|
* Fix memory leak in Lucene index.
|
|
+
|
|
`SubIndex.NrtFuture` objects were being added as listeners of `searchManager`
|
|
and never released.
|
|
|
|
=== Change Screen
|
|
|
|
|
|
* link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=2456[Issue 2456]:
|
|
Respect the comment visibility preference in the new change screen.
|
|
+
|
|
The "Expand All" and "Collapse All" settings now work like they did on
|
|
the old change screen.
|
|
|
|
* link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=2538[Issue 2538]:
|
|
Don't show the "Patch File" download for merge commits.
|
|
+
|
|
The patch file download does not work for commits with more than one
|
|
parent (i.e. merges) and results in an error being displayed. Now the
|
|
link is not shown for merge commits; a solution for merge patches will
|
|
be investigated for future releases.
|
|
|
|
* link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=2526[Issue 2526]:
|
|
Hide the `refs/heads/` prefix in branch suggestion list for cherry-picks.
|
|
+
|
|
Regular branches like `refs/heads/stable/` will now be displayed as
|
|
just `stable` in the suggestion list when cherry-picking a change in the
|
|
Web UI.
|
|
|
|
* Disable the "Save" button after it is pressed when editing the commit
|
|
message.
|
|
+
|
|
The "Save" button was not being disabled, and could be pressed multiple
|
|
times while the message was being saved, resulting in multiple new patch
|
|
sets being created.
|
|
|
|
* Fix syntax highlighting for shell files in new side-by-side diff.
|
|
|
|
* Fix inconsistent behavior of diff view when viewing binary files.
|
|
+
|
|
In the new change screen, if the user clicked on a binary file in
|
|
the file list, the unified view was used. Then when navigating to
|
|
a previous or next file that is not binary, the diff view stayed in
|
|
the old unified setting.
|
|
|
|
* Make the skip bar more user friendly in side-by-side diff.
|
|
+
|
|
The whole "skipped xxx common lines" text is now a link, rather
|
|
than just the number.
|
|
|
|
* Show previous and next file shortcut keys in new side-by-side
|
|
navigation arrow tooltips.
|
|
+
|
|
In the top right corner of a file the navigation cluster has a
|
|
tooltip on the up arrow but did not show the tooltip on the left
|
|
or right arrows.
|
|
|
|
=== Plugins
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Fix ChangeListener auto-registered implementations.
|
|
+
|
|
Add missing `@ExtensionPoint` in `ChangeListener` so implementors can
|
|
use `@Listen` to register.
|
|
|
|
* Escape dollar sign in plugin manifest entries.
|
|
+
|
|
Plugins could be built, but not loaded, if they had any manifest entries
|
|
that contained a dollar sign.
|
|
|
|
=== Misc
|

|
|

|
|
Emit ref-updated event when editing project access via Web UI.
|
|
|
|
* link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=2557[Issue 2557]:
|
|
By default don't allow admins to create new branches by push.
|
|
+
|
|
When pushing changes it is easy to make a typo in the refspec and in this case
|
|
new branches should not be created. If administrators want to create branches
|
|
by push they should explicitly assign themselves the needed access rights.
|
|
|
|
* Do not refresh project list if filter did not change.
|
|
+
|
|
The project list was being refreshed on every key event even if the
|
|
filter did not change, e.g. moving the cursor inside the text entry was
|
|
causing the list to update unnecessarily.
|
|
|
|
* Fix mail thread getting stuck when waiting for response from SMTP server.
|
|
+
|
|
It is now possible to configure the default thread pool size, the size of
|
|
the thread pool for sending emails, and the SMTP server connection timeout.
|
|
|
|
* link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=2215[Issue 2215]:
|
|
Paginate the project list screen.
|
|
+
|
|
The project list screen was taking a long time to render over a large
|
|
amount of projects (1,000+) and with even larger number of projects
|
|
(3,000+), it could make the browser unresponsive.
|
|
+
|
|
The project list screen now uses pagination to resolve this issue. The
|
|
number of projects displayed is determined by the 'Maximum Page Size'
|
|
user preference.
|
|
+
|
|
Option 'S' is added to the projects REST API to support query offset.
|
|
|
|
* link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=2599[Issue 2599]:
|
|
Always auto confirm adding reviewers in `set-reviewers` SSH command.
|
|
+
|
|
If a group contains more than 'addreviewer.maxWithoutConfirmation'
|
|
members, adding it as reviewer to a change requires a confirmation. A
|
|
user should only be asked for the confirmation when reviewers are
|
|
added from the Web UI but not when the `set-reviewers` SSH command is
|
|
used.
|
|
|
|
* Set uploader to current user in `patchset-created` event upon cherry-picking.
|
|
+
|
|
When using the Web UI (both old and new change screens) to cherry-pick a
|
|
change to a branch that already has this change (e.g. cherry-picking
|
|
on the same branch to get rid of dependencies), the corresponding
|
|
`patchset-created` event had its `patchSet.uploader` set to the change's
|
|
owner instead of the current user. It is now set to the current user,
|
|
so stream-events consumers can properly detect who uploaded the
|
|
rebased patch set.
|
|
|
|
=== Documentation
|
|
|
|
|
|
* link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=1273[Issue 1273]:
|
|
Update the MySQL documentation concerning character sets.
|
|
+
|
|
The setup documentation is updated to mention that there is no need to use
|
|
latin1 encoding if you are using an engine other than MyISAM.
|
|
|
|
* Use consistent grammatical tense in ssh command descriptions.
|
|
|
|
* Add more detail about `refs/drafts` in
|
|
link:https://gerrit-documentation.storage.googleapis.com/Documentation/2.8.4/access-control.html[
|
|
access control documentation].
