| |
| Schema Change |
| ------------- |
| |
| *WARNING* This release contains a schema change. To upgrade: |
| ---- |
| java -jar gerrit.war init -d site_path |
| ---- |
| |
| Patch 2.1.1.1 |
| ------------- |
| |
| * Update MINA SSHD to SVN 897374 |
| + |
| A deadlock was recently discovered in the SSHD, causing an |
| IoProcessor thread to freeze and stop servicing clients. This |
| manifests itself as spotty SSH service; sometimes a connection |
| works, sometimes it hangs and never executes the command. Fixed. |
| |
| * issue 376 Fix deletion of comments on publish comments screen |
| + |
| Discarding a comment from the publish comments screen caused |
| a ConcurrentModificationException. Fixed. |
| |
| New Features |
| ------------ |
| |
| * issue 322 Update to GWT 2.0.0 |
| + |
| JavaScript code generation is now based upon GWT 2.0, which |
| is the latest stable release available. One benefit of this |
| is the initial JavaScript download is smaller, by omitting |
| less-frequently used sections of the UI like the admin screens |
| or user preferences. |
| |
| * Support creating new users in `DEVELOPMENT_BECOME_ANY_`... |
| + |
| Developers can now create new users (to facilitate testing |
| scenarios) through the /become URL, rather than manually |
| inserting account records or switching over to OpenID/LDAP. |
| |
| * issue 371 Make gitweb url links customizable, add support for c... |
| + |
| The linkage to gitweb is now more configurable, and we also |
| support linking to cgit, a popular C based alternative to the |
| Perl based gitweb.cgi. |
| |
| * Log SSH activity to $site_path/logs/sshd_log |
| + |
| SSH authentication failures and commands are now logged, including |
| execution times, so administrators can monitor server activity. |
| The log file is local to the server running the daemon process, |
| and came about to help replace the lastUsedOn columns which were |
| dropped from the database (see below). |
| |
| * Drop the lastUsedOn from AccountSshKeys, AccountExternalIds |
| * Implement automatic schema upgrading |
| + |
| The lastUsedOn column is no longer updated in the database, |
| and was actually removed by a schema upgrade in this release. |
| |
| * issue 162 Record submitters as the author of a merge commit |
| + |
| Merge commits created by Gerrit during change submission now |
| use the submitter's identity as the author identity, and generic |
| Gerrit user identity as the committer identity. |
| |
| * issue 162 Summarize single change merges with short description |
| + |
| The short description of a merge commit including exactly |
| one change into the branch now includes that change's short |
| description, making the log easier to read. |
| |
| * Reload GerritSiteHeader, GerritSiteFooter, GerritSite... |
| + |
| The site header/footer files are reloaded on the fly if they are |
| modified, allowing the administrator to abuse the header for a |
| "message of the day" feature, if desired. |
| |
| * Reduce the size (and cost) of the host page |
| * Use server side permutation selection |
| * Allow ?s=0 to disable server side permutation |
| + |
| The host page was compacted slightly, and the CPU time used on |
| the server to send it to a client was reduced by reusing as much |
| work as possible between sessions. |
| Additionally, the host page now selects the correct JavaScript |
| based on the User-Agent HTTP header, removing one HTTP round |
| trip during initial page load, and saving ~5 KiB of transfer. |
| |
| * Make hyperlinks update URL when screen is visible |
| + |
| The address bar now only updates when the corresponding content |
| is actually visible. This matches the behavior used within |
| other AJAX applications like Gmail. |
| |
| * Use a glass pane behind our dialogs, make most modal |
| + |
| Error dialogs are now more noticable, and less easily dismissed |
| by an accidential click. This is especially useful when there |
| is a merge error during submit. |
| |
| Bug Fixes |
| --------- |
| |
| * issue 359 Allow updates of commits where only the parent changes |
| + |
| Commit replacements were sometimes rejected when the only thing |
| that changed as the parent pointer, e.g. rebasing a change because |
| the parent's commit message was modified to correct a typo. |
| We now allow these replacements, with a warning to the console. |
| |
| * gsql: Fix \d table missing first column |
| + |
| The gsql tool skipped the first column of any table, e.g. when |
| showing "\d accounts" the registered_on column wasn't displayed. |
| |
| * Default to the en locale |
| * Limit permutations to only the en locale |
| + |
| The WAR file shrank because we deleted a large chunk of JavaScript |
| which was never used. GWT created this code in case the browser |
| didn't get forced into the 'en' locale, but we always force it to |
| use the 'en' locale because the top of our HTML page demands it. |
| |
| * issue 364 Fix SchemaCreatorTest to work when localized errors a... |
| + |
| This test failed when the JVM's default locale wasn't en_US, as it |
| was testing a translated string against an English expected value. |
| |
| * issue 365 Skip CommitMsgHookTest on Win32 |
| + |
| This test failed on Windows platforms, where there is no shell |
| or perl available from a native Win32 application like the JVM. |
| For now, we skip the test. |
| |
| * issue 369 Add missing repositories to build search path |
| + |
| The out-of-the-box build of Gerrit's own source code didn't work, |
| due to missing Maven repository URLs in our pom.xml. I never |
| noticed the failure because my local repository already had the |
| required JARs present. |
| |
| * Fix MSIE 8 compatibility |
| + |
| Releases between 2.0.18 and 2.1.1 have not supported MSIE 8, |
| due to a broken GWT upgrade. Fixed. |
| |
| * Ensure gitweb.cgi pipes are closed |
| + |
| Exceptions may have allowed our internal gitweb CGI invocations |
| to leak file descriptors, as pipes to the external CGI were not |
| always closed. Fixed. |
