| 2 | ============================== |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Gerrit 2.0.2 is now available for download: |

| 7 | |
| 8 | Important Notes |
| 9 | --------------- |
| 10 | |
| 11 | Starting with this version, Gerrit is now packaged as a single WAR file. |
| 12 | Just download and drop into your webapps directory for easier deployment. |
| 13 | The WAR file itself is also executable via "java -jar gerrit.war", so tools |
| 14 | like CreateSchema are easier to invoke ("java -jar gerrit.war |
| 15 | CreateSchema"). |
| 16 | |
| 17 | The following optional 3rd party JARs are not included in the WAR: |
| 18 | |
| 19 | * Bouncy Castle Crypto API |
| 20 | * H2 JDBC Driver |
| 21 | * c3p0 pooled DataSource |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | Existing Gerrit administrators either need to change the SSH host key used |
| 24 | by their servers, or download the Bouncy Castle Crypto API. The OpenSSH key |
| 25 | file format can only be read if Bouncy Castle is available, so you need to |
| 26 | install that library to continue using an existing host key. If you are |
| 27 | using Jetty, you can download the library ( |
| 28 | http://www.bouncycastle.org/java.html) to $JETTY_HOME/lib/plus, then restart |
| 29 | Jetty. |
| 30 | If you use H2 as your database, you will need to download the JDBC driver |
| 31 | and insert it into your container's CLASSPATH. But I think all known |
| 32 | instances are on PostgreSQL, so this is probably not a concern to anyone. |
| 33 | |
