Current Release

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

  • updated: 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.
  • added: Groovy 1.8.4 and a push hook script mechanism. 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: sendmail.groovy for optional email notifications on push
  • added: New key for mailing lists. This is used in conjunction with the sendmail.groovy hook script.
    New: mail.mailingLists =
  • added: 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 insulate customized behavior from new IUserService API and changes in model classes.
  • 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 a new 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
