6 (finally!) allow limited symlinks within ~/repositories;
7 see commit 8e36230 for details
9 perms command now lists available roles
11 minor backward compat breakage: 'perms -l repo' no longer
12 works; see 'perms -h' for new usage
14 allow gitolite-shell to be used as $SHELL (experts only;
15 no support, no docs; see commit 9cd1e37 for details)
17 help with 'git push --signed' using a post-receive hook to
18 adopt push certs into 'refs/push-certs'; for details see
19 contrib/hooks/repo-specific/save-push-signatures
21 new 'transparent proxy' feature for git repos; see
22 src/lib/Gitolite/Triggers/TProxy.pm for details
24 2014-11-10 v3.6.2 disable ../ everywhere (see mailing list thread for
27 VREF/NAME_NC -- like VREF/NAME but for new commits only.
28 Details within src/VREF/NAME_NC.
30 allow gitolite.conf to be tested locally; details within
31 contrib/utils/gitolite-local
33 2014-06-22 v3.6.1 experimental rc format convertor for "<= 3.3" users who
34 have already upgraded the *code* to ">= v3.4". Program is
37 giving shell access to a few users got a lot easier (see
38 comments in the rc file).
40 allow logging to syslog as well (see comments in the rc
45 redis caching redone and now in core; see
46 http://gitolite.com/gitolite/cache.html
48 2014-05-09 v3.6 (cool stuff) the access command can now help you debug
49 your rules / understand how a specific access decision was
52 mirroring: since mirroring is asynchronous (by default
53 anyway), when a 'git push --mirror' fails, you may not
54 know it unless you look in the log file on the server.
55 Now gitolite captures the info and -- if the word 'fatal'
56 appears anywhere within it, it saves the entire output and
57 prints it to STDERR for anyone who reads or writes the
58 repo on the *master* server, until the error condition
61 mirroring: allow 'nosync' slaves -- no attempt to
62 automatically push to these slaves will be made. Instead,
63 you have to manually (or via cron, etc) trigger pushes.
65 (backward compat breakage) the old v2 syntax for
66 specifying gitweb owner and description is no longer
69 macros now allow strings as arguments (thanks to Jason
70 Donenfeld for the idea/problem).
72 the 'info' command can print in JSON format if asked to.
74 repo-specific hooks: now you can specify more than one,
75 and gitolite runs all of them in sequence.
77 new trigger 'expand-deny-messages' to show more details
78 when access is denied.
80 git-annex support is finally in master, yaaay!
82 new 'readme' command, modelled after 'desc'. Apparently
83 gitweb can use a README.html file in the *bare* repo
84 directory -- who knew!
86 2013-10-14 v3.5.3 catch undefined groupnames (when possible)
88 mirroring: async push to slaves
90 (some portability fixes)
92 (a couple of contrib scripts - querying IPA based LDAP
93 servers for group membership, and user key management)
95 allow groups in subconf files (this *may* slow down
96 compilation in extreme cases)
98 make adding repo-specific hooks easier (see cust.mkd or
99 cust.html online for docs)
101 smart http now supports git 1.8.2 and above (which changed
102 the protocol requirements a wee bit)
104 2013-07-10 v3.5.2 allow ENV vars to be set from repo options, for use in
107 bug-fix: the new set-default-roles feature was being
108 invoked on every run of "perms" and overriding it!
110 2013-03-24 v3.5 (2 minor backward compat breakages)
111 1. 'DEFAULT_ROLE_PERMS' replaced by per repo
112 'default.roles' option
113 2. 'gitolite list-memberships' now requires a '-r' or a
116 new 'gitolite owns' command (thanks to Kevin Pulo)
118 2013-03-05 v3.4 new rc file format makes it much easier to enable specific
121 2012-12-29 v3.3 bug fix: gl-perms propagation to slaves broke sometime
122 after v3.2 (so if you're only picking up tagged releases
125 the "D" command now allows rm/unlock to be totally
128 new trigger: update-gitweb-daemon-from-options; another
129 way to update gitweb and daemon access lists
131 new 'create' command for explicit wild repo creation, and
132 new AutoCreate trigger to control auto-creation
134 allow simple macros in conf file
136 2012-11-14 v3.2 major efficiency boost for large setups
138 optional support for multi-line pubkeys; see

142 config lines and no access rules
144 new 'bg' trigger command to put long jobs started from a
145 trigger into background
147 %GL_REPO and %GL_CREATOR now work for 'option's also

175 minor backward compat breakage in 'gitolite query-rc'
177 'perms' command can now create repo if needed
