| |
| Schema Change |
| ------------- |
| |
| There is no schema change in this release. |
| |
| * Restriction on SSH Username |
| + |
| There is a new restriction placed on the SSH Username field |
| within an account. Users who are using invalid names should |
| be asked to change their name to something more suitable. |
| Administrators can identify these users with the following query: |
| ---- |
| -- PostgreSQL |
| SELECT account_id,preferred_email,ssh_user_name |
| FROM accounts |
| WHERE NOT (ssh_user_name ~ '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9._-]*[a-zA-Z0-9]$'); |
| |
| -- MySQL |
| SELECT account_id,preferred_email,ssh_user_name |
| FROM accounts |
| WHERE NOT (ssh_user_name REGEXP '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9._-]*[a-zA-Z0-9]$'); |
| ---- |
| Administrators can force these users to select a new name by |
| setting ssh_user_name to NULL; the user will not be able to |
| login over SSH until they return and select a new name. |
| |
| |
| New Features |
| ------------ |
| * GERRIT-280 create-project: Add --branch and cleanup arguments |
| + |
| The --branch option to create-project can be used to setup the |
| default initial branch to be a name other than 'master'. |
| Argument parsing also changed slightly, especially around the |
| boolean options and submit type. Please recheck the documentation |
| and/or the output of --help. |
| |
| * GERRIT-216 Add slave mode to ssh daemon |
| + |
| The standalone SSH daemon can now be run in a read-only |
| mode. This allows use Gerrit's access control database for |
| access decisions when serving a read-only copy of the project |
| repositories. Placing a read-only slave local to a remote office |
| may reduce sync times for those closer to the slave server. |
| |
| * Enable multi-line comment highlighting for Scala code |
| + |
| Scala source code now highlights more like Java source code does, |
| especially for multiline `/** ... */` style comments. |
| |
| * GERRIT-271 Enable forcing ldap.accountSshUserName to lowercase |
| + |
| The following properties may now be configured from LDAP using |
| more complex expressions: accountFullName, accountEmailAddress, |
| accountSshUserName. Property expressions permit forcing |
| to a lowercase string, or performing string concatenation. |
| These features may help some environments to better integrate |
| with their local LDAP server. |
| |
| * Support username/password authentication by LDAP |
| + |
| A new auth.type of LDAP was added to support Gerrit prompting |
| the end-user for their username and password, and then doing a |
| simple bind against the LDAP server to authenticate the user. |
| This can simplify installation in environments which lack a |
| web based single-sign-on solution, but which already have a |
| centralized LDAP directory for user management. |
| |
| * Inform submitter of merge failure by dialog box |
| + |
| When a change submit fails, a dialog box is now displayed showing |
| the merge failure message. This saves the user from needing to |
| scroll down to the end of the change page to determine if their |
| submit was successful, or not. |
| |
| * Better submit error messages |
| + |
| Missing dependency submit errors are now much more descriptive |
| of the problem, helping the user to troubleshoot the issue on |
| their own. Merge errors from projects using the cherry-pick |
| and fast-forward submit types are also more descriptive of the |
| real cause. Unfortunately path conflict errors are not any more |
| descriptive, but path conflict is now only reported when there |
| is actually a path conflict. |
| |
| * issue 285 Include pull command line in email notifications |
| + |
| Sample git pull lines are now included in email notifications. |
| |
| Bug Fixes |
| --------- |
| * create-project: Document needing to double quote descr... |
| + |
| The --description flag to create-project require two levels |
| of quoting if the new description string contains whitespace. |
| The documentation has been updated to reflect that, and shows some |
| examples . Unfortunately this is not easily fixed in software, |
| due to the way the SSH client passes the command line to the |
| remote server. |
| |
| * GERRIT-281 daemon: Remove unnecessary requirement of HttpServletR... |
| + |
| The standalone SSH daemon now starts correctly, without needing |
| to put the Java servlet API into the CLASSPATH. |
| |
| * Enforce Account.sshUserName to match expression |
| * Restrict typeable characters in SSH username |
| * Disallow ., `_` and - in end of SSH Username |
| + |
| SSH usernames were permitted to contain any character, including |
| oddball characters like '\0' and '/'. We really want them to |
| be a restricted subset which won't cause errors when we try to |
| map SSH usernames as file names in a Git repository as we try |
| to move away from an SQL database. |
| |
| * GERRIT-282 Fix reply to comment on left side |
| + |
| Clicking 'Reply' to a comment on the left hand side sometimes |
| generated a server error due to a subtle bug in how the reply |
| was being setup. Fixed. |
| |
| * issue 282 Fix NullPointerException if ldap.password is missing |
| + |
| The server NPE'd when trying to open an LDAP connection if |
| ldap.username was set, but ldap.password was missing. We now |
| assume an unset ldap.password is the same as an empty password. |
| |
| * issue 284 Make cursor pointer when hovering over OpenID links |
| + |
| The cursor was wrong in the OpenID sign-in dialog. Fixed. |
| |
| * Use abbreviated Change-Id in merge messages |
| + |
| Merge commits created by Gerrit were still using the older style |
| integer change number; changed to use the abbreviated Change-Id. |
| |
