On some repositories, +no-op Git client requests can go from 7.910s to 0.550s. Since all +of the time reduction is server CPU, this is a major performance +improvement for busy servers. + +* Substantially speed up pushing changes for review ++ +Pushing changes to big projects was very slow, for similar issues +as the READ level access controls. Push checks have been improved, +reducing the amount of server CPU required to validate a push for +review is connected to the branch its intended for. + +* Avoid costly findMergedInto during push to refs/for/* ++ +Checking to see if a new commit uploaded for review has already been +merged into a branch turns out to be expensive, and not very useful. +Since the commit is brand new to the server, it cannot possibly ever +have been merged. Skip the merge check to get a major performance +improvement on upload to big projects. + +* Allow serving static files in subdirectories ++ +The /static/ subdirectory can now serve static files contained within +subdirectories. This change also patches the code to perform better +checks to ensure the requested URL is actually in the subdirectory. +These additional checks are only relevant on Windows servers, where +MS-DOS compatibility may have permitted access to special device +files in any directory, rather than just the "\\.\" device namespace. + +Bug Fixes +--------- +* issue 518 Fix MySQL counter resets ++ +MySQL databases lost their change_id, account_id counters after +server restarts, causing duplicate key insertion errors. Fixed. + +* issue 1019 Normalize OpenID URLs with http:// prefix ++ +OpenID standards require sites to add "http://" to an OpenID +identifier if the user did not enter it themselves. + +* Ignore PartialResultException from LDAP. ++ +Instead of crashing with an exception, partial results are ignored +when configured to be ignored. diff --git a/ReleaseNotes/index.txt b/ReleaseNotes/index.txt index d340a09018..48bf6efa4d 100644 --- a/ReleaseNotes/index.txt +++ b/ReleaseNotes/index.txt @@ -4,6 +4,7 @@ Gerrit Code Review - Release Notes [[2_1]] Version 2.1.x ------------- +* link:ReleaseNotes-2.1.8.html[2.1.8], * link:ReleaseNotes-2.1.7.2.html[2.1.7.2], * link:ReleaseNotes-2.1.7.html[2.1.7], * link:ReleaseNotes-2.1.6.html[2.1.6], |
