Schema Change
|

|
|

Patch 2.1.1.1
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
* Update MINA SSHD to SVN 897374
|
|
+
|
|
A deadlock was recently discovered in the SSHD, causing an
|
|
IoProcessor thread to freeze and stop servicing clients. This
|
|
manifests itself as spotty SSH service; sometimes a connection
|
|
works, sometimes it hangs and never executes the command. Fixed.
|
|
|
|
* issue 376 Fix deletion of comments on publish comments screen
|
|
+
|
|
Discarding a comment from the publish comments screen caused
|
|
a ConcurrentModificationException. Fixed.
|
|
|
|
New Features
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
* issue 322 Update to GWT 2.0.0
|
|
+
|
|
JavaScript code generation is now based upon GWT 2.0, which
|
|
is the latest stable release available. One benefit of this
|
|
is the initial JavaScript download is smaller, by omitting
|
|
less-frequently used sections of the UI like the admin screens
|
|
or user preferences.
|
|
|
|
* Support creating new users in `DEVELOPMENT_BECOME_ANY_`...
|
|
+
|
|
Developers can now create new users (to facilitate testing
|
|
scenarios) through the /become URL, rather than manually
|
|
inserting account records or switching over to OpenID/LDAP.
|
|
|
|
* issue 371 Make gitweb url links customizable, add support for c...
|
|
+
|
|
The linkage to gitweb is now more configurable, and we also
|
|
support linking to cgit, a popular C based alternative to the
|
|
Perl based gitweb.cgi.
|
|
|
|
* Log SSH activity to $site_path/logs/sshd_log
|
|
+
|
|
SSH authentication failures and commands are now logged, including
|
|
execution times, so administrators can monitor server activity.
|
|
The log file is local to the server running the daemon process,
|
|
and came about to help replace the lastUsedOn columns which were
|
|
dropped from the database (see below).
|
|
|
|
* Drop the lastUsedOn from AccountSshKeys, AccountExternalIds
|
|
* Implement automatic schema upgrading
|
|
+
|
|
The lastUsedOn column is no longer updated in the database,
|
|
and was actually removed by a schema upgrade in this release.
|
|
|
|
* issue 162 Record submitters as the author of a merge commit
|
|
+
|
|
Merge commits created by Gerrit during change submission now
|
|
use the submitter's identity as the author identity, and generic
|
|
Gerrit user identity as the committer identity.
|
|
|
|
* issue 162 Summarize single change merges with short description
|
|
+
|
|
The short description of a merge commit including exactly
|
|
one change into the branch now includes that change's short
|
|
description, making the log easier to read.
|
|
|
|
* Reload GerritSiteHeader, GerritSiteFooter, GerritSite...
|
|
+
|
|
The site header/footer files are reloaded on the fly if they are
|
|
modified, allowing the administrator to abuse the header for a
|
|
"message of the day" feature, if desired.
|
|
|
|
* Reduce the size (and cost) of the host page
|
|
* Use server side permutation selection
|
|
* Allow ?s=0 to disable server side permutation
|
|
+
|
|
The host page was compacted slightly, and the CPU time used on
|
|
the server to send it to a client was reduced by reusing as much
|
|
work as possible between sessions.
|
|
Additionally, the host page now selects the correct JavaScript
|
|
based on the User-Agent HTTP header, removing one HTTP round
|
|
trip during initial page load, and saving ~5 KiB of transfer.
|
|
|
|
* Make hyperlinks update URL when screen is visible
|
|
+
|
|
The address bar now only updates when the corresponding content
|
|
is actually visible. This matches the behavior used within
|
|
other AJAX applications like Gmail.
|
|
|
|
* Use a glass pane behind our dialogs, make most modal
|
|
+
|
|
Error dialogs are now more noticable, and less easily dismissed
|
|
by an accidential click. This is especially useful when there
|
|
is a merge error during submit.
|
|
|
|
Bug Fixes
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
* issue 359 Allow updates of commits where only the parent changes
|
|
+
|
|
Commit replacements were sometimes rejected when the only thing
|
|
that changed as the parent pointer, e.g. rebasing a change because
|
|
the parent's commit message was modified to correct a typo.
|
|
We now allow these replacements, with a warning to the console.
|
|
|
|
* gsql: Fix \d table missing first column
|
|
+
|
|
The gsql tool skipped the first column of any table, e.g. when
|
|
showing "\d accounts" the registered_on column wasn't displayed.
|
|
|
|
* Default to the en locale
|
|
* Limit permutations to only the en locale
|
|
+
|
|
The WAR file shrank because we deleted a large chunk of JavaScript
|
|
which was never used. GWT created this code in case the browser
|
|
didn't get forced into the 'en' locale, but we always force it to
|
|
use the 'en' locale because the top of our HTML page demands it.
|
|
|
|
* issue 364 Fix SchemaCreatorTest to work when localized errors a...
|
|
+
|
|
This test failed when the JVM's default locale wasn't en_US, as it
|
|
was testing a translated string against an English expected value.
|
|
|
|
* issue 365 Skip CommitMsgHookTest on Win32
|
|
+
|
|
This test failed on Windows platforms, where there is no shell
|
|
or perl available from a native Win32 application like the JVM.
|
|
For now, we skip the test.
|
|
|
|
* issue 369 Add missing repositories to build search path
|
|
+
|
|
The out-of-the-box build of Gerrit's own source code didn't work,
|
|
due to missing Maven repository URLs in our pom.xml. I never
|
|
noticed the failure because my local repository already had the
|
|
required JARs present.
|
|
|
|
* Fix MSIE 8 compatibility
|
|
+
|
|
Releases between 2.0.18 and 2.1.1 have not supported MSIE 8,
|
|
due to a broken GWT upgrade. Fixed.
|
|
|
|
* Ensure gitweb.cgi pipes are closed
|
|
+
|
|
Exceptions may have allowed our internal gitweb CGI invocations
|
|
to leak file descriptors, as pipes to the external CGI were not
|
|
always closed. Fixed.
