General
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
* Only add "cherry picked from" when cherry picking a merged change.
|
|
+
|
|
The "(cherry picked from commit ...)" line was being added in the commit
|
|
message when cherry picking from closed changes, which included abandoned.
|
|
|
|
* Fix PUSH permission check for draft changes.
|
|
+
|
|
It was not possible to block pushes to the `refs/drafts` namespace.
|
|
|
|
* Don't allow project owners to create branches if create is blocked.
|
|
+
|
|
Project owners were able to create branches through the WebUI, REST and SSH
|
|
even when the 'create reference' permission was actually blocked for them.
|
|
|
|
* link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=2397[Issue 2397]:
|
|
Remove quotes and trailing period from "topic edited" messages.
|
|
+
|
|
The quotes and trailing period were causing linkification to fail for topics
|
|
that were set to a URL.
|
|
|
|
* Check if user can read HEAD commit when resolving detached HEAD.
|
|
+
|
|
If HEAD was detached the `GetHead` REST endpoint refused to resolve HEAD
|
|
when the user was not a project owner.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Change Screen / Diff Screen
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
* link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=2398[Issue 2398]:
|
|
Enable syntax highlighting for Groovy, Clojure, Lisp, Ruby and Perl.
|
|
|
|
* link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=2416[Issue 2416]:
|
|
Fix copy functionality in Firefox and Safari.
|
|
+
|
|
Ctrl-C/Cmd-C was activating the 'insert comment' feature, and preventing the
|
|
browser from copying the selected text to the clipboard.
|
|
|
|
* link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=2428[Issue 2428]:
|
|
Fix truncation of long lines in side-by-side diff.
|
|
+
|
|
Lines whose length exceeded the width of the window were being truncated
|
|
and only shown fully after zooming out/in on the browser.
|
|
|
|
* Fix handling of the enter key when editing the topic.
|
|
+
|
|
The enter key was causing the file diff view to open, instead of confirming
|
|
the topic edit.
|
|
|
|
* Fix wrong button being passed to the 'revert' action.
|
|
+
|
|
The action was using the cherry-pick button instead of the revert button.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ssh

|
---
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Support for nio2 backend is removed.
|
|
+
|
|
The nio2 backend is link:https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SSHD-252[
|
|
broken in MINA SSHD]. Support is removed until the next release of MINA
|
|
SSHD in which it is fixed.
|
|
|
|
* link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=2424[Issue 2424]:
|
|
Add descriptions on commands that are disabled in slave mode.
|
|
+
|
|
Commands that are disabled on a server running in slave mode were being listed
|
|
with an empty description.
|
|
|
|
* Remove obsolete commands from slave mode commands list.
|
|
+
|
|
The `approve` and `replicate` commands, which no longer exist, were still being
|
|
listed in the available commands shown when running the ssh `gerrit` command
|
|
without any arguments on a server running in slave mode.
|
|
|
|
* Remove 'including replication' from the `show-queue` command description.
|
|
+
|
|
The `replication` command is provided by the replication plugin, so it is no
|
|
longer relevant to mention this in the description of a core command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Replication Plugin
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Never replicate automerge-cache commits.
|
|
+
|
|
Commits in the `automerge-cache` namespace are used on the master to
|
|
improve performance of the diff UI. They are not needed on remote
|
|
mirrors and it is wasteful to replicate them.
|
|
|
|
* link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=2420[Issue 2420]:
|
|
Fix failure to create missing remote repository via git:// protocol.
|
|
+
|
|
When replicating to a mirror over the anonymous git:// protocol and the
|
|
repository did not exist on the remote (i.e. if the remote was offline
|
|
when the repository was originally created), the replication failed with
|
|
a "remote repository error", rather than the expected "no repository".
|
|
|
|
* Improve info logging related to repository creation and deletion, and
|
|
differentiate between local and remote repository errors.
|
|
|
|
* Update documentation to clarify replication of refs/meta/config when
|
|
refspec is 'all refs'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Documentation
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Add missing documentation of the secondary index configuration.
|
|
+
|
|
Document that open and closed changes are indexed in separate indexes,
|
|
and for Lucene indexes the RAM buffer size and maximum buffered documents
|
|
can be configured.
|
|
|
|
* Correct the Gerrit download link.
|
|
+
|
|
The link on the documentation index was pointing to the Google Code page,
|
|
which has not been used for some time.
|
|
|
|
* Correct the description of the `revisions` field in the REST API's
|
|
`ChangeInfo` entity.
|
|
|
|
* Add a link from the plugin documentation to the validation listeners API
|
|
documentation.
