## Bugfix Releases
-### 2.16.18
+### 2.16.18 (In development)
* Breaking Changes
- * Minimum git version is increased to 2.15.0 for the `commit-msg` hook.
+ * [Issue 12527](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=12527):
+ Remove support for discontinued Elasticsearch v5.6, v6.0 up to v6.4.
- The `commit-msg` hook now uses the `--where` option on the
- `git-interpret-trailers` command. This option was introduced in
- git version 2.15.0.
+ * Plugin API: Remove deprecated draft workflow methods, remove deprecated ChangeApi.getEdit method.
+
+ * Metrics: make cache disk stat metric computation optional.
+
+ Disable the cache disks stat metrics for persistent caches by default
+ because is a very expensive and can block a thread for several minutes on
+ larger installations.
+
+* New Features
+
+ * Make legacy version of the commit-msg hook available
+
+ Make the older version of the commit-msg hook from gerrit 2.15.x,
+ which does not use git-intepret-trailers, available from the site so that
+ users who have an older client can download it.
* Bug Fixes
- * [Issue 12546](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=12546):
- Fix `Change-Id` being inserted at end of trailers instead of start.
-
- The `commit-msg` hook inserted the `Change-Id` at the end of the trailers,
- which could result in other trailers such as `Signed-off-by` being added
- multiple times.
-
* Fix handling of ambiguous name in `visibleto` search predicate
If the `visibleto` search predicate was used with a display name that
resolved to more than one account, the first account in the result was
arbitrarily used. Now, this case will result in an error.
+ * [Issue 11625](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=11625):
+ Avoid multiple notifications for existing reviewers.
+
+* PolyGerrit UI Fixes

+ Fix for Memory leak in gr-plugin-endpoints.
