Yuxuan 'fishy' Wang4f5ad9d2016-05-03 16:18:58 -070013== Bug Fixes
Sasa Zivkov7c1a56f2012-06-05 17:56:05 +020014* Catch all exceptions when async emailing
15+
16This fixes email notification issues reported
17link:https://groups.google.com/group/repo-discuss/browse_thread/thread/dd157ebc55b962ef/652822d6fbe61e71[here].
18
19* Fixed cleanup of propagated SshScopes
20+
21This improves error reporting in case of email notification errors.
22
23* issue 1394 Fix lookup of the 'Commit Message' file in patch set
24+
25There is an assumption that the commit message is always first in the list of
26files of a patch set. However, there was another place in Gerrit code, which
27did binary search through the list of the files, without taking this assumption
28into account. In case when a patch set contained a file which lexicographically
29sorted before '/COMMIT_MSG' (like '.gitignore' for example) it could have
30happened that the commit message was not found and, as a side effect, it wasn't
31possible to review it.
32
33* issue 1162 Fix deadlock on destroy of CommandFactoryProvider
34
35* Honor the sendmail.smtpUser from gerrit.config on upgrade
36+
37If sendmail.smtpUser was not present in the gerrit.config then don't set it in
38site upgrade.
39
40* issue 1420 Forge committer bypassed
41+
42It was possible to forge committer even without having permission for that.
43This was a regression from 2.3.
44
45* Make sure the "Object too large..." error message is printed when an object
46larger than receive.maxObjectSizeLimit is rejected by Gerrit
47
48* Display proper error if file diff fails because content is too large
49
50* Get around a log4j bug that causes AsyncAppender-Dispatcher thread to die and
51block other threads
52** Make async logging buffer size configurable
53** Make logging events discardable, prevent NPE in AsyncAppender-Dispatcher thread
