| |
| New Features |
| ------------ |
| |
| * Add 'checkout' download command to patch sets |
| + |
| The Download area of a patch set now offers a command line to fetch |
| and checkout the patch set on a detached HEAD. This is more suitable |
| for building and testing the change locally. |
| |
| Bug Fixes |
| --------- |
| |
| * issue 545 Fallback to ISO-8859-1 if charset isn't supported |
| + |
| Some input files are misrecognized by the jchardet library that is |
| used to automatically guess a character set. A guessed charset |
| might not even be supported by the local JRE. In such cases the |
| ISO-8859-1 character set is used as a fallback, so the file content |
| is still visible. |
| |
| * Update JGit to 0.7.1.34-gf36df5d to fix empty tree bug |
| + |
| Repositories which contained an empty tree object (very uncommon, its |
| technically a bug to produce a repository like this) wouldn't clone |
| properly from the embedded Gerrit SSH or HTTP daemon. Fixed upstream |
| in JGit 0.7.0, but we never picked up the bug fix release. |
| |
| Documentation Corrections |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| * documentation: Elaborate on branch level Owner |
| + |
| Documentation didn't describe that the Owner permission within a |
| project can be used to delegate control over a branch namespace to |
| another group. |
| |
| * documentation: Document Read Access +2 aka Upload Access |
| + |
| The documentation didn't describe what Read +2 means. |
