+Release notes for Gerrit 2.5.1
+==============================
+
+Gerrit 2.5.1 is now available:
+
+link:http://code.google.com/p/gerrit/downloads/detail?name=gerrit-full-2.5.1.war[http://code.google.com/p/gerrit/downloads/detail?name=gerrit-full-2.5.1.war]
+
+There are no schema changes from 2.5, or 2.5.1.
+
+However, if upgrading from anything earlier version, follow the upgrade
+procedure in the 2.5 link:ReleaseNotes-2.5.html[Release Notes].
+
+Security Fixes
+--------------
+* Correctly identify Git-over-HTTP operations
++
+Git operations over HTTP should be classified as using AccessPath.GIT
+and not WEB_UI. This ensures RefControl will correctly test for Create,
+Push or Delete access on a reference instead of Owner.
++
+E.g. without this fix project owners are able to force push commits
+via HTTP that are already in the history of the target branch, even
+without having any Push access right assigned.
+
+* Make sure only Gerrit admins can change the parent of a project
++
+Only Gerrit administrators should be able to change the parent of a
+project because by changing the parent project access rights and BLOCK
+rules which are configured on a parent project can be avoided.
++
+The `set-project-parent` SSH command already verifies that the caller
+is a Gerrit administrator, however project owners can change the parent
+project by modifying the `project.config` file and pushing to the
+`refs/meta/config` branch.
++
+This fix ensures that changes to the `project.config` file that change
+the parent project can only be pushed/submitted by Gerrit
+administrators.
++
+In addition it is now not possible anymore to
+- set a non-existing project as parent (as this would make the project
+  be orphaned)
+- set a parent project for the `All-Projects` root project (the root
+  project by definition has no parent)
+by pushing changes of the `project.config` file to `refs/meta/config`.
+
+Bug Fixes
+---------
+* Fix RequestCleanup bug with Git over HTTP
++
+Decide if a continuation is going to be used early, before the filter
+that will attempt to cleanup a RequestCleanup. If so don't allow
+entering the RequestCleanup part of the system until the request is
+actually going to be processed.
++
+This fixes the IllegalStateException `Request has already been cleaned
+up` that occurred when running on Jetty and pushing over HTTP for URLs
+where the path starts with `/p/`.
+
+* Match all git fetch/clone/push commands to the command executor
++
+Route not just `/p/` but any Git access to the same thread pool as the
+SSH server is using, allowing all requests to compete fairly for
+resources.
+
+* Fix auto closing of changes on direct push
++
+When a commit is directly pushed into a repository (bypassing code
+review) and this commit has a Change-Id in its commit message then the
+corresponding change is automatically closed if it is open.
+
+* Allow assigning `Push` for `refs/meta/config` on `All-Projects`
++
+The `refs/meta/config` branch of the `All-Projects project` should only
+be modified by Gerrit administrators because being able to do
+modifications on this branch means that the user could assign himself
+administrator permissions.
++
+In addition to being administrator we already require that the
+administrator has the `Push` access right for `refs/meta/config` in
+order to be able to modify it (just as with all other branches
+administrators do not have edit permissions by default).
++
+The problem was that assigning the `Push` access right for
+`refs/meta/config` on the `All-Projects` project was not allowed.
++
+Having the `Push` access right for `refs/meta/config` on the
+`All-Projects` project without being administrator already has no
+effect.
++
+Prohibiting to assign the Push access right for `refs/meta/config` on
+the `All-Project` project was anyway pointless since it was e.g.
+possible to assign the `Push` access right on `refs/meta/*`.
