GER-740 Gerrit LFS will not work for a non-replicated repository. The work-around is to create a single-node replication group which contains the repository. This deficiency will be fixed in the next version of GerritMS.

GER-834 Important note if running Gerrit 2.13.11 on SLES 11.3
If you are running Gerrit 2.13.11 on SLES 11.3, then you may encounter an issue that prevents Gerrit from starting up after a shutdown. This is because Gerrit uses start-stop-daemon to manage the process which happens to be incompatible with the SLES version of the start-stop-daemon).

# START_STOP_DAEMON
#   If set to "0" disables using start-stop-daemon.  This may need to
#   be set on SuSE systems.

GER-589 - Percona 5.6 is now required for running GerritMS 1.9.3. Support for Percona 5.7 has been removed to prevent deadlock.

GER-584 - Enabled trading processor consumption against index and event replication delays via tunable properties.

GER-613 - Time Zone offset is now properly computed for all possible timezones (some Linux timezones are not possible due to JAVA issue).

GER-498, GER-568 - sync_repo.sh enhanced to prevent attempts to add inappropriate repositories, better logging.

GER-551 - Fixed a bug preventing cloning of large repositories (fails at 30 second mark).

GER-555, GER-575, GER-582, GER-594 - Fixed bugs preventing proper Gerrit index and event replication.

GER-564, GER-567 - Fixed bugs preventing proper handling of JSON files in Gerrit event replication.

GER-570 - reindex.sh script fixed to handle proper index path creation in certain cases.

GER-573 - Fixed a bug where indexing could be delayed by 2 hours.

GER-620, GER-632, GER-646 - Fixed an indexing issue for newly created accounts.

GER-562 - During the GitMS upgrade of a GitMS/GerritMS system the json files in the …​/gerrit/gerrit_events tree need to be removed. Remove them when GitMS is fully down. These files are internally formatted in a release dependent manner so could cause problems after the upgrade if they are not removed.

GER-628 - When using the Gerrit Delete Project plugin there will be 2 ignorable errors generated into the Gerrit error_log file on all of the nodes other than that where the clean up request was made.

GER-630 - CentOS/RHEL 7 and SLES 12: To avoid Gerrit Event and Indexing replication issues, use these instructions for setting your system timezone.

You must login to the Gerrit UI on a node before you can clone (or use REST API endpoints) from that node. This will be fixed in the next version of GerritMS.

GER-654 - In order to use OAuth with Gerrit you will need to use OAuth 2.13.6 and Java 8.

GER-656 - The gerrit#serverId configuration value must be the value it was first created with. This will be the same at all sites.

GER-665 - The Gerrit war file for some of the built-in plugins contains the tag 2.13.11 and not 2.13.9 as would be expected. For those plugins the 2.13.9 and 2.13.11 tags are on the same commit. Our build process simply chose the wrong tag to include. You will see this in the following instances:

GER-552 - Cherry-picked a bugfix that enables the cloning of very large repos - see bugs.chromium.org for more information.

GER-554 - Before upgrading from a previous version you must set the following properties in the gerrit.config file:

[cache "diff"]
    timeout = 15000
[cache "diff_intraline"]
    timeout = 15000

GER-562 - During the GitMS upgrade of a GitMS/GerritMS system the json files in the …​/gerrit/gerrit_events tree need to be removed. Remove them when GitMS is fully down. These files are internally formatted in a release dependent manner so could cause problems after the upgrade if they are not removed.

GER-571 - If you want specific Gerrit features that had previously been used, then after upgrade you need to run the following:

GER-572 - If using Gerrit with Percona then nodes may fail to start due to an error in the mysqld_safe script. For more information see the Percona website.
A work around is to edit the mysqld_safe script with the following:

GER-439 - There is now full support for the Gerrit "Delete Project" Plugin. See Delete projects for more information.

GER-441 - GerritMS now supports Java 8.

GER-443 - You can now specify sub-second values for Gerrit Events replication properties. See Gerrit event stream for more information.

GER-492 - Gerrit 2.13.9 is now supported.

GER-324 - Fixed a rare bug where repositories would take a long time to deploy.

GER-359 - Fixed a bug where a replicated change event would generate a MissingObjectException.

GER-429 - There are now better error message delivered to users whose push failed because of a prior push.

GER-432 - There are now better error message when repository deployment failed due to existing on-disk artifacts.

GER-468 - Fixed a bug where time differences between sites were incorrectly calculated during Daylight Savings Time periods for specific Time Zones.

GER-454 - For successful upgrade you need to remove any redundant slashes before upgrade is attempted. Redundant slashes include any duplication of slashes or a slash at the end of the string.
The following steps need to be performed for any GerritMS repositories that have redundant slashes in their GitMS file path. The example uses the example repository All-Users.git:

GER-512 - Before upgrading to a new version you need to edit the <gerrit.home>/etc/gerrit.config file to contain the following:

[container]
        startupTimeout = 200

GER-535 - The my.cnf needs to be changed due to a clash between Gerrit’s use of zeros for dates and in dates, and the SQL standard change to disallow such values. Specifically, the "sql-mode" must not have NO_ZERO_IN_DATE nor NO_ZERO_DATE. See the Percona XtraDB section for more information.
