Administrators may -also continue to use `gerrit create-project`. - -* Move "projects" table into Git -+ -The projects table columns are now stored in the `project.config` -file of the `refs/meta/config` branch of each managed Git repository. - -* Move "ref_rights" table into Git -+ -The "ref_rights" table is now stored in the "access" sections of -the `project.config` file on the `refs/meta/config` branch of each -managed Git repository. This brings version control auditing to the -access data of each project. - -* New project Access screen to edit access controls -+ -The Access panel of the project administration has been rewritten -with a new UI that reflects the new Git based storage format. - -== Bug Fixes - -=== Project Administration -* Avoid unnecessary updates to $GIT_DIR/description -+ -Gerrit always tried to rewrite the gitweb "description" file when the -project was modified. This lead to unnecessary changes in the local -filesystem, leading to more data to rsync to backups than necessary. -Fixed to only update the file if the content changes. |
