+➊ without merge commits
+
+== Patch Sets with draft comments are highlighted
+
+This makes it more obvious that there are unpublished comments.
+

+
+== Better support for images in diff screens
+
+.Side-by-Side
+image:../../img/image-comparison-side-by-side.png[]
+
+.Unified-Diff
+image:../../img/image-comparison-unified-diff.png[]
+
+== Option to show relative times in change tables
+
+A new preference setting allows the user to decide if absolute or
+relative dates should be shown in change tables.
+
+.Relative Dates
+image:../../img/relative-dates.png[]
+
+== Support for user avatars
+
+.On Change Screen

+
+.For Inline Comments

+
+== Auto-Merge on Push
+
+Teams that want to use Gerrit’s submit strategies to handle contention
+on busy branches can use `%submit` to create a change and have it
+link:http://gerrit-documentation.googlecode.com/svn/Documentation/2.7/user-upload.html#auto_merge[
+immediately submitted], if the caller has Submit permission on
+`refs/for/<ref>`.
+
+
+== Project specific configuration
+
+It is now possible to define
+link:http://gerrit-documentation.googlecode.com/svn/Documentation/2.7/config-gerrit.html#_a_id_commentlink_a_section_commentlink[
+commentlinks] and
+link:http://gerrit-documentation.googlecode.com/svn/Documentation/2.7/config-themes.html[
+themes] on project level.
+
+== Sticky approvals for review labels
+
+Review labels can now be configured so that the highest possible
+positive value for the label is copied forward when a new patch set is
+uploaded. This is done by setting
+link:http://gerrit-documentation.googlecode.com/svn/Documentation/2.7/config-labels.html#label_copyMaxScore[
+copyMaxScore] on the label.
+
+== REST API
+
+Several new
