20New Features
21------------
22* Display the originator of each access rule
23+
24The project access panel now shows which project each rule inherits
25from. This can be informative when the inheritance chain is more
26than 1 project deep (for example C inherits from B, which inherits
27from A, which inherits from \-- All Projects \--).
28
29* Improved user->gerrit push speed
30+
31Pushing changes for review (or directly to a branch) should be
32quicker now, especially if the project contains many changes.
33
34* Allow Owner permission to inherit
35+
36The project Owner permission can now be inherited from any parent
37project, provided that the parent project is not the root level
38\-- All Projects \--.

40Bug Fixes
41---------
42* Fix disabled intraline difference checkbox
43+
44Intraline difference couldn't be enabled once it was disabled by
45a user in their user preferences. Fixed.
46
47* Fix push over HTTP
48+
49Users couldn't push to Gerrit over http://, due to a bug in the
50way user authentication was handled for the request. Fixed.
51
52* issue 751 Update displayed owner group after group rename
53+
54The group owner field didn't update when a group was self-owned,
55and the self-owned group was renamed. This left the owner name
56at the old name, leaving the user to wonder if the group owner was
57also reassigned by another user. Fixed.
58
59* init: Fix string out of bounds when importing projects
60+
61Project importing died when the top level directory contained a
62".git" directory (usually by accident by the site administrator).
63Fixed.
