| |
| ## Release highlights |
| |
| ### Java 21 |
| |
| The language level used for Gerrit source code is set to Java 21, matching its distributed code level |
| since [Gerrit v3.11](https://www.gerritcodereview.com/3.11.html#java-21). |
| |
| It is now mandatory to migrate the Java Virtual Machine to Java 21 and there is no possibility to |
| rebuild Gerrit source code with Java 17 anymore. Also, all the non-core plugins need to be rebuilt |
| and verified with Java 21; existing Java 17 plugins may not load or work properly. |
| |
| ### Gitattributes configuration support in JGit merge driver |
| |
| Gerrit now supports gitattributes with merge driver configuration, introduced in |
| [Change 441721](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/gerrit/+/441721). |
| |
| When Gerrit performs server-side merges, it now supports reading and processing [gitattributes](https://git-scm.com/docs/gitattributes.html#_built_in_merge_drivers) |
| from the global, repo, and in-tree gitattributes files. |
| |
| The support of gitattributes is implemented for the built-in `binary` |
| and `union` merge drivers. |
| |
| ### Allow global site-wide override for label's copyCondition |
| |
| There are two new config variables introduced with [Change 446062](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/gerrit/+/446062): |
| |
| - `label.<name>.labelCopyEnforcement` |
| for enforcing an additional copy condition for all labels on all projects |
| |
| - `label.<name>.labelCopyRestriction` |
| for reducing forcibly any copy condition for all labels on all projects |
| |
| When the two settings are defined in `gerrit.config`, then for every project, the final |
| copyCondition is equivalent to `(<labelCondition> AND NOT <copyRestriction>) OR <copyEnforcement>` |
| |
| This new behaviour is covered by the experiment feature flag |
| `GerritBackendFeature__enable_central_override_for_code_review_copy_condition`. |
| |
| Example of `labelCopyEnforcement` is making sure all negative votes are copied; similarly |
| `labelCopyRestriction` could be used for making sure only trusted contributors are allowed to submit |
| changes without reviewers re-confirming that their comments have been addressed. |
| |
| ### Introduce group deletion functionality |
| |
| It is possible to allow users to delete groups through a new `deleteGroup` global capability. |
| All the users and groups with the new capability, will have access to the delete group REST-API that |
| allow to remove Gerrit groups. |
| |
| In order for a group to be deleted, there are some prerequisites that need to be satisfied: |
| |
| - The given group is not a system group |
| - The given group is an internal group (it is assumed that we will not |
| allow to delete external groups) |
| - The given group is not the owner of any other group(s) |
| - The given group is not used in any ref permissions for any projects |
| |
| ### New H2 v2 storage backend for persistent caches |
| |
| The H2 library is upgraded to v2 which provides fully multi-threaded operations |
| and a lower memory footprint, as presented in the [GerritMeets of March 2025](https://youtu.be/T2ApofhyF10?feature=shared). |
| Migrating from H2 to H2 v2 requires either the rebuild of the persistent caches |
| from scratch or the execution of a [migration tool](https://github.com/manticore-projects/H2MigrationTool) |
| to translate the legacy cache files to the new format. |
| |
| ## Contributors |

| - Tran Tuan Khai Phan |
| - Zhechen Yan |
| - Narendra Kumar |
| |
| ## Important Notes |
| |
| ### Schema and index changes |
| |
| Gerrit schema version is unchanged; however, because of the Lucene library bump |
| to 10.1.0, the on-line upgrade is possible only from Gerrit v3.11 and not from |
| earlier releases. |
| |
| All the indexes versions have been increased therefore requiring a reindex: |
| - `accounts` index version updated to `15`. |
| - `changes` index version updated to `87`. |
| - `groups` index version updated to `12`. |
| - `projects` index version updated to `10`. |
| |
| ### Offline upgrade |
| |
| - Download the new `gerrit.war` |
| - Stop Gerrit |
| - Backup the existing indexes in case a rollback is required |
| - Ensure all installed plugins are compatible with the new API |
| - Run init `java -jar gerrit.war init -d site_path --batch` |
| - Reindex all indexes: |
| |
| `java -jar gerrit.war reindex -d site_path` |
| |
| See the |
| [reindex](https://gerrit-documentation.storage.googleapis.com/Documentation/3.12.0/pgm-reindex.html) |
| command for other options. |
| |
| ### Online upgrade with zero-downtime |
| |
| Gerrit v3.12.x supports zero-downtime upgrade from Gerrit v3.11 when configured |
| using either |
| [high-availability](https://gerrit.googlesource.com/plugins/high-availability/+/refs/heads/master/README.md) |
| or |
| [multi-site](https://gerrit.googlesource.com/plugins/multi-site/+/refs/heads/master/README.md) |
| setup. |
| |
| During the zero-downtime upgrade, Gerrit end-users will not experience any |
| outage or service disruption and will be able to perform any read/write Gerrit |
| operation seamlessly. |
| |
| The zero-downtime upgrade process for high-availability or multi-site setups |
| consists of the following steps ([demo](https://youtu.be/vK5qsb0W7q4)): |
| |
| 1. Have Gerrit servers running v3.11 in high-availability or multi-site |
| configuration, healthy and able to handle the incoming traffic properly. |
| 2. Set one of the Gerrit servers to unhealthy. |
| 3. Shutdown the Gerrit server, update gerrit.war, plugins and libs to v3.12.x and start Gerrit again. |
| 4. Verify that the Gerrit server is working properly (e.g. run automated smoke |
| tests) and then make it healthy again. |
| 5. Ensure the Gerrit server is fully caught up with the events that happened while |
| it was down before directing traffic to it. |
| 6. Repeat steps 2 to 5 for each of the remaining Gerrit servers. |
| |
| ### Downgrade |
| |
| Downgrade to Gerrit v3.11 release is possible, but requires the following |
| manual steps: |
| |
| 1. Shutdown all migrated Gerrit servers |
| 2. Update the gerrit.war and plugins to the previous v3.11 version |
| 3. Init Gerrit |
| |
| ```sh |
| java -jar gerrit.war init -d site_path --batch |
| ``` |
| |
| ### Native packaging |
| |
| The GPG keys for GerritForge's distribution site have changed and need to be reimported |
| before the upgrade. |
| |
| - On Debian / Ubuntu): |
| `apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 55787ed781304950` |
| |
| - on AlmaLinux / RedHat / Fedora: |
| `rpm --import 'https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x72adb205736d7147da56e8c955787ed781304950’` |
| |
| The Docker-based distributions have been updated: |
| |
| - AlmaLinux bumped to 9.5 |
| |
| - Ubuntu bumped to Eclipse Temurin 21.0.6_7 (24.04.1 LTS) |
| |
| ## Security Fixes |
| |
| * [Change 435337](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/gerrit/+/435337) |
| REST API responses are now rendered in the browser rather than downloaded, with XSS protection |
| and blocking the use in i-frame. |
| |
| ### Known issues |
| |
| * [Issue 309098227](https://issues.gerritcodereview.com/issues/309098227) |
| [Change 360646](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/360646): |
| The introduction of a per-request ref cache for better performance may break |
| the repository consistency |
| |
| The addition of a new `core.usePerRequestRefCache` setting, true by |
| default, introduced a per request (currently per request thread) ref |
| cache, helping reduce the overhead of checking if the packed-refs file |
| was outdated. However, in some scenarios, such as multi-site or |
| concurrency between `git-receive-pack` and `git-gc`, it may lead to |
| split-brain inconsistencies and, in the worst-case scenario, to the |
| corruption of the underlying repository. |
| |
| * [Issue 416196171](https://issues.gerritcodereview.com/issues/416196171): |
| Concurrent change insertion fails on ref-table-enabled repositories over NFS. |
| |
| Gerrit may encounter lock failures, when multiple ref-updates happen concurrently in a repository |
| that uses the ref-table format and is hosted on an NFS-mounted filesystem. |
| A fix is not yet available, and users relying on high-concurrency change creation should avoid |
| using ref-table over NFS. |
| |
| ### Breaking Changes |
| |
| * [Change 447781](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/gerrit/+/447781) |
| Disabled loading and executing 'rules.pl' by default. |
| |
| Prolog rules have been deprecated since Gerrit 3.6; they are now officially disabled |
| by default. Gerrit administrators are required to inform all the project owners |
| and convert the Prolog rules to Submit Requirements. |
| |
| > **NOTE**: It is still possible to enable the Prolog rules processing again with |
| > `rules.enable = true` in `gerrit.config`, bearing in mind that the option may not be |
| > available anymore in future versions of Gerrit, therefore should be used only |
| > as temporary workaround during the migration from Prolog to Submit Requirements. |
| |
| |
| * [Change 440743](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/gerrit/+/440743) |
| Do not notify listeners when performing online reindexing. |
| |
| When performing online reindexing, the notification to listeners and consequent |
| sending of the index-change messages in high-availability and multi-site scenarios |
| was potentially causing unnecessary traffic and CPU utilisation during the |
| schema index updates. |
| |
| > **NOTE**: If the reindexing is performed for refreshing outdated index records |
| > the online reindexing commands would need to be executed against all the nodes |
| > of the Gerrit cluster, as the missed listeners notifications would not trigger |
| > the reindexing elsewhere. |
| |
| * [Change 449321](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/gerrit/+/449321) |
| [Change 448244](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/gerrit/+/448244) |
| Set Verified label default function to NoBlock for new sites. |
| |
| Label functions are deprected and the submittability of changes needs to |
| be encoded as Submit Requirements, therefore new Gerrit sites are encouraged |
| to define their submittability rather than relying on the legacy label functions |
| deprecated since Gerrit v3.6. |
| |
| > **NOTE**: Existing sites would not be impacted, unless they were relying on the |
| > default label function; however, Gerrit project owners are invited to remove the |
| > use of label functions and use Submit Requirements instead. |
| |
| * [Issue 390443239](https://issues.gerritcodereview.com/issues/390443239) |
| Swap project-created/ref-updated in stream events upon project creation |
| |
| Gerrit always produced the project-created/ref-updated in the wrong order, |
| generating the ref-update of inexistent projects just created. The order is |
| now rectified; however, existing stream events consumers may rely on the |
| previous incorrect ordering and potentially break. |
| |
| |
| * [Change 457802](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/gerrit/+/457802): |
| Users with the `Administrate Server` can see all changes, branches and tags, including |
| private changes and `refs/meta/config`. |
| |
| Administrators own the Gerrit service and are responsible for investigating |
| issues; allowing access to everything simplifies troubleshooting, avoiding |
| them to first assign permissions to themselves, investigate the issue and then |
| remember to undo the permission changes. |
| |
| Also note that the `skip-visibility` option when querying changes is deprecated |
| and effectively ignored. It will be removed in the next version of Gerrit. |
| |
| > **NOTE**: With this change, Gerrit would no longer allow to separate the |
| > roles of security administrator and service management, therefore it |
| > is highly recommended to carefully review all the users and groups with the |
| > `Administrate Server`. |
| |
| * [Change 435338](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/gerrit/+/435338): |
| Patchsets are now downloaded as plain-text patch files using the ?raw parameter and |
| not base64 or ziped. |
| |
| * [Change 465369](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/gerrit/+/465369): |
| Robot comments are disabled by default. Support for robot comments will be removed with the |
| next release. Checks should be used instead. |
| |
| ### New Features |

| Added support for creating a branch on an empty commit. |
| |
| Similar to creating a project with an empty commit, allow to create a branch |
| not having any initial commit. |
| |
| * [Issue 401141848](https://issues.gerritcodereview.com/issues/401141848): |
| Fix ref existance check when creating new refs |
| |
| Gerrit v3.6 introduced a [new check](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/gerrit/+/287790) |
| for verifying the existance of refs before crating new refs and avoiding misleading |
| `LOCK_FAILURE` errors. The check was implemented using a `Repository.resolve()` |
| API which would expand the ref name as it was a logical name resolution |
| causing the inability to push some refs, like tags that use the |
| _git describe_ in their names. The issue is fixed by using |
| a proper refs finding and brings back the full refs creation functionality. |
| |
| * [Change 439226](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/gerrit/+/439226): |
| The new configuration style, where index name is explicitly provided as |

| Fix header layout for very long subjects. |
| |
| The reviewers list UI component was hiding a reviewer who had voted (e.g., `+2`) if they were |

| Add HTTP request header to distinguish plugins from core. |
| |

| or `plugin:<plugin-name>` for requests originated from plugins. |
| |
