Current Release

%VERSION% (go | war | express | fedclient | manager | api) based on %JGIT%   released %BUILDDATE%

• added: Groovy 1.8.4 and sample pre- and post- push Groovy hook scripts. Hook scripts can be set per-repository or globally for all repositories.
  Unfortunately this adds another 6 MB to the 8MB Gitblit package, but it allows for a very powerful, flexible, platform-independent hook script mechanism.
  New: groovy.scriptsFolder = groovy
  New: groovy.preReceiveScripts =
  New: groovy.postReceiveScripts =
• added: New key for mailing lists. This is currently used in conjunction with the example sendemail.groovy post-receive hook script.
  New: mail.mailingLists =
• added: 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 and will open the door for more advanced Gitblit features. For upgrading installations, a users.conf file will automatically be created for you from your existing users.properties file on your first launch of Gitblit. 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
• added: Teams for specifying user-repository access in bulk
• added: Gitblit Express bundle to get started running Gitblit on RedHat’s OpenShift cloud
• added: optional Gravatar integration
  New: web.allowGravatar = true
  
• added: multi-repository activity page. 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
  
• fixed: several a bugs in FileUserService related to cleaning up old repository permissions on a rename or delete
• added: optional flash-based 1-step copy to clipboard of the primary repository url
• added: javascript-based 3-step (click, ctrl+c, enter) copy to clipboard of the primary repository url New: web.allowFlashCopyToClipboard = true
  
• improved: empty repositories now link to the 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)
• improved: 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
