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