To upgrade: ----- - java -jar gerrit.war init -d site_path ----- - -== New Features - -=== Change Management - -* issue 504 Implement full query operators -+ -The search box now implements a wide range of operators and boolean -expressions, permitting complex queries such as `is:open CodeReview>=1 -(has:draft OR is:starred)` to locate open changes that have been code -reviewed, but still have unpublished drafts or were starred by the -current user. The full range of supported operators is documented -in the user guide. - -* Change lists now use query operators -+ -All current change lists have been reimplemented using query -operators, so selecting 'All open changes' actually performs the query -'is:open'. This is to help end-users learn the different operators -that are supported, and simplifies the internal implementation -considerably by removing redundant code. - -* issue 51 Tag changes with topic branches -+ -Changes can be tagged with a topic name during upload. To add the tag -'query' when pushing to branch 'master', use `git push URL -HEAD:refs/for/master/query`. To add a topic name with `repo upload` -use the `-t` command line flag. Topic names are displayed next to the -branch name in the web UI, and can be searched for with the `topic:` -query operator. - -* Filter the list of open changes by watched projects -+ -The query operator `is:watched` matches changes matching the user's -watched project list, and a new menu item was added under the My menu -to select open changes matching these watched projects. - -=== Web UI - -* issue 579 Remember diff formatting preferences -+ -Formatting options at the top of a side-by-side or unified diff page -are now remembered by saving the current preferences into the user's -account whenever 'Update' is clicked. - -* issue 680 Show commit message on the per-file review pages - -* issue 498 Improved keyboard navigation -+ -More keyboard bindings have been added, reducing the need to switch to -the mouse while navigating through a change and performing a review. - -* issue 395 Open new window/new tab for all files in a change -+ -New buttons permit opening all modified files of a change into -new windows or tabs. - -* issue 440 Add copy to clipboard button for change-id -+ -The Change-Id field in the upper left side of a change now support to -copy "Change-Id: I...." onto the clipboard, making it easier to paste -into a commit message. - -* issue 559 Allow copying user public ssh key to clipboard - -* issue 509 Make branch columns link to changes on that branch - -=== Email Notifications - -* issue 311 No longer CC a user by default -+ -The user who causes a notification to be sent is no longer CC'd on the -email when it is sent. This reduces the number of messages sent to a -user, but can be re-enabled through a checkbox in the Settings > -Preferences panel. - -* issue 535 Enable watching of all projects -+ -Adding the magic `\-- All Projects \--` to the watched project list -permits the user to be notified of any change occurring in any -project. Project specific entries override the notification settings -for all projects. - -* issue 492 Allow watching specific branches or any other search query -+ -In addition to watching a project, users can register a query string -to match specific changes, reducing notifications to be a smaller -subset of the changes that occur in a project. - -* issue 70 Allow file:^regex to match affected files -+ -The file:^path operator can be used in a watch filter to receive -notifications only when files matching the regular expression are -modified by the change. - -* issue 623 Include Gerrit-Owner, Gerrit-Reviewer in email footers -+ -New fields in the email footer provide additional detail, enabling -better filtering and classification of messages. - -=== Access Control - -* Support regular expressions for ref access rules -+ -References in an access rule can now be specified by regular -expression by prefixing the reference name with ^. - -* issue 577 Support $\{username\} in access rules -+ -Adding `$\{username\}` into a reference causes the current username to -be inserted at that position. When combined with the Push Branch -permission this creates a per-user branch namespace feature, giving -each user their own "sandbox" to push changes to. - -* issue 313 ssh gerrit create-group -+ -Groups can now be created over SSH by administrators using the -`gerrit create-group` command. - -=== Authentication - -* Remove password authentication over SSH -+ -Adding password authentication over SSH turned out to be a major -mistake. Users primarily use SSH public keys, and the password -prompt just got in the way or confused them. Password support has -been removed from the SSH server. - -* Username cannot be changed once assigned -+ -Once a username has been selected for a user account, it -cannot be modified by the user. - -* issue 555 Make LDAP sessions persistent for the session age -+ -Web sessions are now persistent for the cache.web_sessions.maxAge -setting, rather than expiring when the browser closes. (Previously -sessions expired when the browser exited.) - -=== Misc. - -* Add topic, lastUpdated, sortKey to ChangeAttribute -+ -Additional change fields are now exported as part of the -stream-events output. - -* issue 504 gerrit query SSH command -+ -Queries to lookup change information can be executed over SSH through -the `gerrit query` command, with results output in either human -readable text or machine readable JSON. Change queries can also be -run over HTTP with the `/query?q=<query>&format=JSON` URL. Both -interfaces are intended for automated tools. - -* Remove git diff-tree dependency -+ -Gerrit no longer requires `git` in the PATH; differences are now -constructed in pure Java code. Remote repository initialization over -SSH still requires `git` on the remote host's PATH. - -* Internal dependencies updated -+ -Updated JGit to 0.8.4.89-ge2f5716, log4j to 1.2.16, GWT to 2.0.4, -sfl4j to 1.6.1, easymock to 3.0, JUnit to 4.8.1. - -== Bug Fixes - -=== Web UI - -* issue 352 Confirm branch deletion in web UI -+ -Deleting a branch now presents a confirmation dialog to give the user -a second chance to abort the destructive operation. - -* Fix some JavaScript errors under Chrome -+ -The GWT compiler started to define symbols in the same namespace as -the prettify syntax highlighting library. We moved the prettify -library into its own iframe so it has a different JavaScript namespace -in the browser. - -* Close button on OpenId register / sign-in dialog -+ -There was no obvious way to leave the sign-in dialog. Fixed. - -* Links in OpenId sign-in dialog not focusable -+ -Keyboard navigation to standard links like 'Google Accounts' -wasn't supported. Fixed. - -=== Misc. - -* issue 614 Fix 503 error when Jetty cancels a request -+ -A bug was introduced in 2.1.3 that caused a server 503 error -when a fetch/pull/clone or push request timed out. Fixed. - -== Version - -ae59d1bf232bba16d4d03ca924884234c68be0f2 |
