WARNING: This version contains a schema change.

Schema upgrade:

java -jar gerrit.war --cat sql/upgrade006_007.sql | psql reviewdb

This version has some major bug fixes for JGit. I strongly encourage people to upgrade, we had a number of JGit bugs identified last week, all of them should be fixed in this release.

New Features

  • Allow users to subscribe to submitted change events

    Someone asked me on an IRC channel to have Gerrit send emails when changes are actually merged into a project. This is what triggered the schema change; there is a new checkbox on the Watched Projects list under Settings to subscribe to these email notifications.

    A long standing "bug"/feature request. I had a small chunk of time I didn’t know what else to do with on Friday… it was too small for most items on the open list, so this got done instead.

Bug Fixes

  • Make sure only valid ObjectIds can be passed into git d…

  • GERRIT-92 Upgrade JGit to 0.4.0-262-g3c268c8

    The JGit bug fixes are rather major. I would strongly encourage upgrading.
