### Current Release
**%VERSION%** ([go](http://code.google.com/p/gitblit/downloads/detail?name=%GO%) | [war](http://code.google.com/p/gitblit/downloads/detail?name=%WAR%) | [express](http://code.google.com/p/gitblit/downloads/detail?name=%EXPRESS%) | [fedclient](http://code.google.com/p/gitblit/downloads/detail?name=%FEDCLIENT%) | [manager](http://code.google.com/p/gitblit/downloads/detail?name=%MANAGER%) | [api](http://code.google.com/p/gitblit/downloads/detail?name=%API%)) based on [%JGIT%][jgit] *released %BUILDDATE%*
<div class="alert alert-info">
<h4>Update Note</h4>
If you are updating from an 0.9.x release AND you have indexed branches with the Lucene indexing feature, you need to be aware that this release will completely re-index your repositories. Please be sure to provide ample heap resources as appropriate for your installation. See details below.
</div>
#### fixes
- Fixes to relative path determination in repository searh algorithm for symlinks (issue 116)
- Output real RAW content, not simulated RAW content (issue 114)
- Fixed Lucene charset encoding bug when reindexing a repository (issue 112)
- Fixed null pointer in LdapUserSerivce if account has a null email address (issue 110)
#### changes
- Added *git.searchRecursionDepth=-1* to control how deep Gitblit will recurse into *git.repositoriesFolder* looking for repositories (issue 103)
- Blob page now supports displaying images (issue 6)
- Non-image binary files can now be downloaded using the RAW link
- Updated Polish translation
**1.0.0** *released 2012-07-14*
#### fixes
- Fixed bug in Lucene search where old/stale blobs were never properly deleted during incremental updates. This resulted in duplicate blob entries in the index.
- Fixed intermittent bug in identifying line numbers in Lucene search (issue 105)
- Adjust repository identification algorithm to handle the scenario where a repository name collides with a group/folder name (e.g. foo.git and foo/bar.git) (issue 104)
- Fixed bug where a repository set as *authenticated push* did not have anonymous clone access (issue 96)
- Fixed bug in Basic authentication if passwords had a colon (Github/peterloron)
- Fixed bug where the Gitblit Manager could not update a setting that was not referenced in reference.properties (issue 85)
#### changes
- **Updated Lucene index version which will force a rebuild of ALL your Lucene indexes**
Make sure to properly set *web.blobEncodings* before starting Gitblit if you are updating! (issue 97)
- Changed default layout for web ui from Fixed-Width layout to Responsive layout (issue 101)
- IUserService interface has changed to better accomodate custom authentication and/or custom authorization
The default `users.conf` now supports persisting display names and email addresses.
- Updated Japanese translation (Github/zakki)
#### additions
- Added setting to allow specification of a robots.txt file (issue 99)
**New:** *web.robots.txt =*
- Added setting to control Responsive layout or Fixed-Width layout (issue 101)
Responsive layout is now the default. This layout gracefully scales the web ui from a desktop layout to a mobile layout by hiding page components. It is easy to try, just resize your browser or point your Android/iOS device to the url of your Gitblit install.
**New:** *web.useResponsiveLayout = true*
- Added setting to control charsets for blob string decoding. Default encodings are UTF-8, ISO-8859-1, and server's default charset. (issue 97)
**New:** *web.blobEncodings = UTF-8 ISO-8859-1*
- Exposed JGit's internal configuration settings in gitblit.properties/web.xml (issue 93)
Review your `gitblit.properties` or `web.xml` for detailed explanations of these settings.
**New:** *git.packedGitWindowSize = 8k*
**New:** *git.packedGitLimit = 10m*
**New:** *git.deltaBaseCacheLimit = 10m*
**New:** *git.packedGitOpenFiles = 128*
**New:** *git.streamFileThreshold = 50m*
**New:** *git.packedGitMmap = false*
- Added default access restriction. Applies to new repositories and repositories that have not been configured with Gitblit. (issue 88)
**New:** *git.defaultAccessRestriction = NONE*
- Added Ivy 2.2.0 dependency which enables Groovy Grapes, a mechanism to resolve and retrieve library dependencies from a Maven 2 repository within a Groovy push hook script
- Added setting to control Groovy Grape root folder (location where resolved dependencies are stored)
[Grape](http://groovy.codehaus.org/Grape) allows you to add Maven dependencies to your pre-/post-receive hook script classpath.
**New:** *groovy.grapeFolder = groovy/grape*
- Added LDAP User Service with many new *realm.ldap* keys (Github/jcrygier)
- Added support for custom repository properties for Groovy hooks (Github/jcrygier)
Custom repository properties complement hook scripts by providing text field prompts in the web ui and the Gitblit Manager for the defined properties. This allows your push hooks to be parameterized.
- Added script to facilitate proxy environment setup on Linux (Github/mragab)
- Added Polish translation (Lukasz Jader)
- Added Spanish translation (Eduardo Guervos Narvaez)

- Expanded commit age coloring from 2 days to 30 days (issue 57)
#### additions
- Added optional Lucene branch indexing (issue 16)
**New:** *web.allowLuceneIndexing = true*
**New:** *web.luceneIgnoreExtensions = 7z arc arj bin bmp dll doc docx exe gif gz jar jpg lib lzh odg odf odt pdf ppt png so swf xcf xls xlsx zip*
Repository branches may be optionally indexed by Lucene for improved searching. To use this feature you must specify which branches to index within the *Edit Repository* page; _no repositories are automatically indexed_. Gitblit will build or incrementally update enrolled repositories on a 2 minute cycle. (i.e you will have to wait 2-3 minutes after respecifying indexed branches or pushing new commits before Gitblit will build/update the repository's Lucene index.)
If a repository has Lucene-indexed branches the *search* form on the repository pages will redirect to the root-level Lucene search page and only the content of those branches can be searched.
If the repository does not specify any indexed branches then repository commit-traversal search is used.
**Note:** Initial indexing of an existing repository can be memory-exhaustive. Be sure to provide your Gitblit server adequate heap space to index your repositories (e.g. -Xmx1024M).
See the [setup](setup.html) page for additional details.
- Allow specifying timezone to use for Gitblit which is independent of both the JVM and the system timezone (issue 54)
**New:** *web.timezone =*
- Added a built-in AJP connector for integrating Gitblit GO into an Apache mod_proxy setup (issue 59)
**New:** *server.ajpPort = 0*
**New:** *server.ajpBindInterface = localhost*
- On the Repositories page show a bang *!* character in the color swatch of a repository with a working copy (issue 49)
Push requests to these repositories will be rejected.
- On all non-bare Repository pages show *WORKING COPY* in the upper right corner (issue 49)
- New setting to prevent display/serving non-bare repositories
**New:** *git.onlyAccessBareRepositories = false*
- Added *protect-refs.groovy* (Github/plm)
- Allow setting default branch (relinking HEAD) to a branch or a tag (Github/plm)
- Added Ubuntu service init script (issue 72)
- Added partial Japanese translation (Github/zakki)

<hr/>
**0.8.2** ([go](http://code.google.com/p/gitblit/downloads/detail?name=gitblit-0.8.2.zip) | [war](http://code.google.com/p/gitblit/downloads/detail?name=gitblit-0.8.2.war) | [express](http://code.google.com/p/gitblit/downloads/detail?name=express-0.8.2.zip) | [fedclient](http://code.google.com/p/gitblit/downloads/detail?name=fedclient-0.8.2.zip) | [manager](http://code.google.com/p/gitblit/downloads/detail?name=manager-0.8.2.zip) | [api](http://code.google.com/p/gitblit/downloads/detail?name=gbapi-0.8.2.zip)) based on [JGit 1.2.0 (201112221803-r)][jgit] *released 2012-01-13*
#### fixes
- Fixed bug when upgrading from users.properties to users.conf (issue 41)
<hr/>
**0.8.1** *released 2012-01-11*
#### fixes
- Include missing icon resource for the manager (issue 40)
- Fixed sendmail.groovy message content with incorrect tag/branch labels
<hr/>
**0.8.0** *released 2012-01-11*
#### additions
- Platform-independent, Groovy push hook script mechanism.
Hook scripts can be set per-repository, per-team, or globally for all repositories.
**New:** *groovy.scriptsFolder = groovy*
**New:** *groovy.preReceiveScripts =*
**New:** *groovy.postReceiveScripts =*
- *sendmail.groovy* for optional email notifications on push.
You must properly configure your SMTP server settings in `gitblit.properties` or `web.xml` to use *sendmail.groovy*.
- New global key for mailing lists. This is used in conjunction with the *sendmail.groovy* hook script. All repositories that use the *sendmail.groovy* script will include these addresses in the notification process. Please see the Setup page for more details about configuring sendmail.
**New:** *mail.mailingLists =*
- *com.gitblit.GitblitUserService*. This is a wrapper object for the built-in user service implementations. For those wanting to only implement custom authentication it is recommended to subclass GitblitUserService and override the appropriate methods. Going forward, this will help insulate custom authentication from new IUserService API and/or changes in model classes.
- New default user service implementation: *com.gitblit.ConfigUserService* (`users.conf`)
This user service implementation allows for serialization and deserialization of more sophisticated Gitblit User objects without requiring the encoding trickery now present in FileUserService (users.properties). This will open the door for more advanced Gitblit features.
For those upgrading from an earlier Gitblit version, a `users.conf` file will automatically be created for you from your existing `users.properties` file on your first launch of Gitblit <u>however</u> you will have to manually set *realm.userService=users.conf* to switch to the new user service.
The original `users.properties` file and it's corresponding implementation are **deprecated**.
**New:** *realm.userService = users.conf*
- Teams for specifying user-repository access in bulk. Teams may also specify mailing lists addresses and pre- & post- receive hook scripts.
- Gravatar integration
**New:** *web.allowGravatar = true*
- Activity page for aggregated repository activity. This is a timeline of commit activity over the last N days for one or more repositories.
**New:** *web.activityDuration = 14*
**New:** *web.timeFormat = HH:mm*
**New:** *web.datestampLongFormat = EEEE, MMMM d, yyyy*
- *Filters* menu for the Repositories page and Activity page. You can filter by federation set, team, and simple custom regular expressions. Custom expressions can be stored in `gitblit.properties` or `web.xml` or directly defined in your url (issue 27)
**New:** *web.customFilters=*
- Flash-based 1-step *copy to clipboard* of the primary repository url based on Clippy
**New:** *web.allowFlashCopyToClipboard = true*
- JavaScript-based 3-step (click, ctrl+c, enter) *copy to clipboard* of the primary repository url in the event that you do not want to use Flash on your installation
- Empty repositories now link to an *empty repository* page which gives some direction to the user for the next step in using Gitblit. This page displays the primary push/clone url of the repository and gives sample syntax for the git command-line client. (issue 31)
- Repositories with a *gh-pages* branch will now have a *pages* link which will serve the content of this branch. All resource requests are against the repository, Gitblit does not checkout/export this branch to a temporary filesystem. Jekyll templating is not supported.
- Gitblit Express bundle to get started running Gitblit on RedHat's OpenShift cloud <span class="label label-warning">BETA</span>
#### changes
- Dropped display of trailing .git from repository names
- Gitblit GO is now monolithic like the WAR build. (issue 30)
This change helps adoption of GO in environments without an internet connection or with a restricted connection.
- Unit testing framework has been migrated to JUnit4 syntax and the test suite has been redesigned to run all unit tests, including rpc, federation, and git push/clone tests
