Schema Change

If upgrading from 2.1.6, there are no schema changes. Replace the WAR and restart the daemon.

If upgrading from 2.1.5 or earlier, there are schema changes. To upgrade:

  java -jar gerrit.war init -d site_path

New Features

  • Display the originator of each access rule

    The project access panel now shows which project each rule inherits from. This can be informative when the inheritance chain is more than 1 project deep (for example C inherits from B, which inherits from A, which inherits from -- All Projects --).

  • Improved user→gerrit push speed

    Pushing changes for review (or directly to a branch) should be quicker now, especially if the project contains many changes.

  • Allow Owner permission to inherit

    The project Owner permission can now be inherited from any parent project, provided that the parent project is not the root level -- All Projects --.

Bug Fixes

  • Fix disabled intraline difference checkbox

    Intraline difference couldn’t be enabled once it was disabled by a user in their user preferences. Fixed.

  • Fix push over HTTP

    Users couldn’t push to Gerrit over http://, due to a bug in the way user authentication was handled for the request. Fixed.

  • issue 751 Update displayed owner group after group rename

    The group owner field didn’t update when a group was self-owned, and the self-owned group was renamed. This left the owner name at the old name, leaving the user to wonder if the group owner was also reassigned by another user. Fixed.

  • init: Fix string out of bounds when importing projects

    Project importing died when the top level directory contained a ".git" directory (usually by accident by the site administrator). Fixed.
