-= Release notes for Gerrit 2.1.5
-
-Gerrit 2.1.5 is now available:
-
-link:https://www.gerritcodereview.com/download/gerrit-2.1.5.war[https://www.gerritcodereview.com/download/gerrit-2.1.5.war]
-
-This is primarily a bug fix release to 2.1.4, but some additional
-new features were included so its named 2.1.5 rather than 2.1.4.1.
-
-== Upgrade Instructions
-
-If upgrading from version 2.1.4, simply replace the WAR file in
-`'site_path'/bin/gerrit.war` and restart Gerrit.
-
-If upgrading from version 2.1.3 or earlier, stop Gerrit, use
-`java -jar gerrit.war init -d 'site_path'` to upgrade the schema,
-and restart Gerrit.
-
-== New Features
-
-=== Web UI
-* issue 361 Enable commenting on commit messages
-+
-The commit message of a change can now be commented on inline, and
-even compared between patch sets, just like any other file contents.
-The message is presented as a magical file called 'Commit Message',
-in the first row of every change.
-
-* issue 312 Implement 'Restore Change' to undo 'Abandon Change'
-+
-Any user who can abandon a change (the change owner, project owner,
-or any site administrator) can now restore the change from Abandoned
-status back to Review in Progress.
-
-* issue 583 Enable/disable download protocols
-+
-The new download section in `gerrit.config` controls how the patch
-set download links are presented in the web UI. Administrators
-can use this section to enable `repo download`, `git://`, or to
-disable `http://` style URLs. This section replaces the older
-repo.showDownloadCommand.
-
-* issue 499 Display the size of a patch (lines added/removed)
-+
-A 'diffstat' is shown for each file, summarizing the size of the
-change on that file in terms of number of lines added or deleted.
-
-=== Email Notifications
-* issue 452 Include a quick summary of the size of a change in email
-+
-After the file listing, a summary totaling the number of files
-changed, lines added, and lines removed is displayed. This may
-help reviewers to get a quick estimation on the time required for
-them to review the change.
-
-== Bug Fixes
-
-=== Web UI
-* issue 639 Fix keyboard shortcuts under Chrome/Safari
-+
-Keyboard shortcuts didn't work properly on modern WebKit browsers
-like Chrome and Safari. We kept trying to blame this on the browser,
-but it was Gerrit Code Review at fault. The UI was using the wrong
-listener type to receive keyboard events in comment editors. Fixed.
-
-* Make 'u' go up to the last change listing
-+
-Previously the 'u' key on a change page was hardcoded to take
-the user to their own dashboard. However, if they arrived at the
-change through a query such as `is:starred status:open`, this was
-quite annoying, as the query had to be started over again to move
-to the next matching change. Now the 'u' key goes back to the
-query results.
-
-* issue 671 Honor user's syntax coloring preference in unified view
-+
-The user's syntax coloring preference was always ignored in the
-unified view, even though the side-by-side view honored it. Fixed.
-
-* issue 651 Display stars in dependency tables
-+
-The 'Depends On' and 'Needed By' tables on a change page did not
-show the current user's star settings, even though the star icon
-is present and will toggle the user's starred flag for that change.
-Fixed.
-
-=== Access Control
-* issue 672 Fix branch owner adding exclusive ACL
-+
-Branch owners could not add exclusive ACLs within their branch
-namespace. This was caused by the server trying to match the leading
-`-` entered by the branch administrator against patterns that did
-not contain `-`, and therefore always failed. Fixed by removing
-the magical `-` from the proposed new specification before testing
-the access rights.
-
-* '@' in ref specs shouldn't be magical.
-+
-The dk.brics.automaton package that is used to handle regular
-expressions on branch access patterns supports '@' to mean
-"any string". We don't want that behavior. Fixed by disabling
-the optional features of dk.brics.automaton, thereby making '@'
-mean a literal '@' sign as expected.
-
-* issue 668 Fix inherited Read Access +2 not inheriting
-+
-Upload access (aka Read +2) did not inherit properly from the parent
-project (e.g. '\-- All Projects \--') if there was any branch level
-Read access control within the local project. This was a coding
-bug which failed to consider the project inheritance if any branch
-(not just the one being uploaded to) denied upload access.
-
-=== Misc.
-* issue 641 Don't pass null arguments to hooks
-+
-Some hooks crashed inside of the server during invocation because the
-`gerrit.canonicalWebUrl` variable wasn't configured, and the hook
-was started out of an SSH or background thread context, so the URL
-couldn't be assumed from the current request. The bug was worked
-around by not passing the `\--change-url` flag in these cases.
-Administrators whose hooks always need the flag should configure
-`gerrit.canonicalWebUrl`.
-
-* issue 652 Fix NPE during merge failure on new branch
-+
-Submitting a change with a missing dependency to a new branch
-resulted in a NullPointerException in the server, because the server
-tried to create the branch anyway, even though there was no commit
-ready because one or more dependencies were missing. Fixed.
-
-* Fix NPE while matching `file:^` pattern on deleted files
-+
-Sending email notifications crashed with NullPointerException if the
-change contained a deleted file and one or more users had a project
-watch on that project using a `file:^` pattern in their filter.
-Fixed.
-
-* issue 658 Allow to use refspec shortcuts for push replication
-+
-A push refspec of `refs/heads/\*` in replication.config is now
-supported as a shorthand notation for `refs/heads/\*:refs/heads/\*`.
-
-* issue 676 Fix clearing of topic during replace
-+
-The topic was cleared if a replacement patch set was uploaded without
-the topic name. The topic is now left as-is during replacement
-if no new topic was supplied. If a new topic is supplied, it is
-changed to match the new topic given.
-
-* Allow ; and & to separate parameters in gitweb
-+
-gitweb.cgi accepts either ';' or '&' between parameters, but
-Gerrit Code Review was only accepting the ';' syntax. Fixed
-to support both.
-
-=== Documentation
-* Fixed example for gerrit create-account.
-* gerrit.sh: Correct /etc/default path in error message
