 | Bug Fixes | 
 | --------- | 
 | * Catch all exceptions when async emailing | 
 | + | 
 | This fixes email notification issues reported | 
 | link:https://groups.google.com/group/repo-discuss/browse_thread/thread/dd157ebc55b962ef/652822d6fbe61e71[here]. | 
 |  | 
 | * Fixed cleanup of propagated SshScopes | 
 | + | 
 | This improves error reporting in case of email notification errors. | 
 |  | 
 | * issue 1394 Fix lookup of the 'Commit Message' file in patch set | 
 | + | 
 | There is an assumption that the commit message is always first in the list of | 
 | files of a patch set. However, there was another place in Gerrit code, which | 
 | did binary search through the list of the files, without taking this assumption | 
 | into account. In case when a patch set contained a file which lexicographically | 
 | sorted before '/COMMIT_MSG' (like '.gitignore' for example) it could have | 
 | happened that the commit message was not found and, as a side effect, it wasn't | 
 | possible to review it. | 
 |  | 
 | * issue 1162 Fix deadlock on destroy of CommandFactoryProvider | 
 |  | 
 | * Honor the sendmail.smtpUser from gerrit.config on upgrade | 
 | + | 
 | If sendmail.smtpUser was not present in the gerrit.config then don't set it in | 
 | site upgrade. | 
 |  | 
 | * issue 1420 Forge committer bypassed | 
 | + | 
 | It was possible to forge committer even without having permission for that. | 
 | This was a regression from 2.3. | 
 |  | 
 | * Make sure the "Object too large..." error message is printed when an object | 
 | larger than receive.maxObjectSizeLimit is rejected by Gerrit | 
 |  | 
 | * Display proper error if file diff fails because content is too large | 
 |  | 
 | * Get around a log4j bug that causes AsyncAppender-Dispatcher thread to die and | 
 | block other threads | 
 | ** Make async logging buffer size configurable | 
 | ** Make logging events discardable, prevent NPE in AsyncAppender-Dispatcher thread |
