0.9.0 released 2012-03-27

security

  • Fixed session fixation vulnerability where the session identifier was not reset during the login process (issue-62)

changes

  • Reject pushes to a repository with a working copy (i.e. non-bare repository) (issue-49)
  • Changed default web.datetimestampLongFormat from EEEE, MMMM d, yyyy h:mm a z to EEEE, MMMM d, yyyy HH:mm Z (issue-50)

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 page for additional details.

    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)

Older Releases

0.8.2 (go | war | express | fedclient | manager | api) based on JGit 1.2.0 (201112221803-r)   released 2012-01-13

fixes

  • Fixed bug when upgrading from users.properties to users.conf (issue-41)

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

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 however 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 BETA

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
