| Important Notes |
| --------------- |
| |
| *WARNING:* There are no schema changes from |
| link:ReleaseNotes-2.9.2.html[2.9.2], but when upgrading from an existing site |
| that was initialized with Gerrit version 2.6 to version 2.9.1 the primary key |
| column order will be updated for some tables. It is therefore important to |
| upgrade the site with the `init` program, rather than only copying the .war file |
| over the existing one. |
| |
| It is recommended to run the `init` program in interactive mode. Warnings will |
| be suppressed in batch mode. |
| |

| java -jar gerrit.war init -d site_path |

| |
| *WARNING:* When upgrading from version 2.8.4 or older with a site that uses |
| Bouncy Castle Crypto, new versions of the libraries will be downloaded. The old |
| libraries should be manually removed from site's `lib` folder to prevent the |
| startup failure described in |
| link:https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=3084[Issue 3084]. |

| Bug Fixes |
| --------- |
| |
| *Downgrade SSHD to 0.9.0-4-g5967cfd* |
| |
| In Gerrit version 2.9.2 SSHD was upgraded to 0.13.0 which included a fix for |
| link:https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SSHD-348[SSHD-348 (SSH thread pool |
| exhaustion)]. |
| |
| It turned out that SSHD 0.13.0 still suffers from this issue, which causes |
| problems for users of the stream-events in Gerrit 2.9.2. |
| |
| SSHD 0.9.0 is known to be free from this particular issue, but we cannot |
| downgrade to that version because it includes some other known issues: |
| |
| * link:https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SSHD-254[SSHD-254 ('authenticated |
| with partial success' error)] |
| * link:https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SSHD-330[SSHD-330 (sporadic |
| handshake failures)]. |
| |
| SSHD version 0.9.0-4-g5967cfd is based on 0.9.0 and includes fixes for SSHD-254 |
| and SSHD-330. |
| |
| Due to the downgrade of SSHD, the following libraries are also downgraded: |
| |
| * Bouncycastle from 1.51 to 1.49 |
| * Mina Core from 2.0.8 to 2.0.7 |
