25 subdirectories, and allow the multi-hook driver to be
26 placed in some other location of your choice
28 allow simple test code to be embedded within the
29 gitolite.conf file; see contrib/utils/testconf for how.
30 (This goes on the client side, not on the server)
32 allow syslog "facility" to be changed, from the default of
35 allow @group names in config values to be expanded; it is
36 replaced with a space separated list of members
38 2016-09-08 v3.6.6 simple but important fix for a future perl deprecation
39 (perl will be removing "." from @INC in 5.24)
41 'perms' now requires a '-c' to activate batch mode
42 (should not affect interactive use but check your scripts

61 'mirror status all all' prints a list of repos that have
62 *some* error, which is arguably more useful for further
65 allow incrementally adding more repo-specific hooks
67 2015-11-01 v3.6.4 a ref-create bug in wild repos was fixed

75 the 'default roles' setting
77 make 'who-pushed' more efficient (local push logs, and
80 'gitolite query-rc' learns '-d' ('--dump') option
82 2015-04-26 v3.6.3 allow limited use of 'git config' using the new 'config'

87 (finally!) allow limited symlinks within ~/repositories;
88 see commit 8e36230 for details

96 no support, no docs; see commit 9cd1e37 for details)

102 new 'transparent proxy' feature for git repos; see
103 src/lib/Gitolite/Triggers/TProxy.pm for details
105 2014-11-10 v3.6.2 disable ../ everywhere (see mailing list thread for
108 VREF/NAME_NC -- like VREF/NAME but for new commits only.
109 Details within src/VREF/NAME_NC.
111 allow gitolite.conf to be tested locally; details within
112 contrib/utils/gitolite-local
114 2014-06-22 v3.6.1 experimental rc format convertor for "<= 3.3" users who
115 have already upgraded the *code* to ">= v3.4". Program is
118 giving shell access to a few users got a lot easier (see
119 comments in the rc file).
121 allow logging to syslog as well (see comments in the rc
126 redis caching redone and now in core; see
127 http://gitolite.com/gitolite/cache.html
129 2014-05-09 v3.6 (cool stuff) the access command can now help you debug
130 your rules / understand how a specific access decision was
133 mirroring: since mirroring is asynchronous (by default
134 anyway), when a 'git push --mirror' fails, you may not
135 know it unless you look in the log file on the server.
136 Now gitolite captures the info and -- if the word 'fatal'
137 appears anywhere within it, it saves the entire output and
138 prints it to STDERR for anyone who reads or writes the
139 repo on the *master* server, until the error condition
142 mirroring: allow 'nosync' slaves -- no attempt to
143 automatically push to these slaves will be made. Instead,
144 you have to manually (or via cron, etc) trigger pushes.
146 (backward compat breakage) the old v2 syntax for
147 specifying gitweb owner and description is no longer
150 macros now allow strings as arguments (thanks to Jason
151 Donenfeld for the idea/problem).
153 the 'info' command can print in JSON format if asked to.
155 repo-specific hooks: now you can specify more than one,
156 and gitolite runs all of them in sequence.
158 new trigger 'expand-deny-messages' to show more details
159 when access is denied.
161 git-annex support is finally in master, yaaay!
163 new 'readme' command, modelled after 'desc'. Apparently
164 gitweb can use a README.html file in the *bare* repo
165 directory -- who knew!
167 2013-10-14 v3.5.3 catch undefined groupnames (when possible)
169 mirroring: async push to slaves
171 (some portability fixes)
173 (a couple of contrib scripts - querying IPA based LDAP
174 servers for group membership, and user key management)
176 allow groups in subconf files (this *may* slow down
177 compilation in extreme cases)
179 make adding repo-specific hooks easier (see cust.mkd or
180 cust.html online for docs)
182 smart http now supports git 1.8.2 and above (which changed
183 the protocol requirements a wee bit)
185 2013-07-10 v3.5.2 allow ENV vars to be set from repo options, for use in
188 bug-fix: the new set-default-roles feature was being
189 invoked on every run of "perms" and overriding it!
191 2013-03-24 v3.5 (2 minor backward compat breakages)
192 1. 'DEFAULT_ROLE_PERMS' replaced by per repo
193 'default.roles' option
194 2. 'gitolite list-memberships' now requires a '-r' or a
197 new 'gitolite owns' command (thanks to Kevin Pulo)
199 2013-03-05 v3.4 new rc file format makes it much easier to enable specific
202 2012-12-29 v3.3 bug fix: gl-perms propagation to slaves broke sometime
203 after v3.2 (so if you're only picking up tagged releases
206 the "D" command now allows rm/unlock to be totally
209 new trigger: update-gitweb-daemon-from-options; another
210 way to update gitweb and daemon access lists
212 new 'create' command for explicit wild repo creation, and
213 new AutoCreate trigger to control auto-creation
215 allow simple macros in conf file
217 2012-11-14 v3.2 major efficiency boost for large setups
219 optional support for multi-line pubkeys; see
220 src/triggers/post-compile/ssh-authkeys-split
222 bug fix for not creating gl-conf when repo para has only
223 config lines and no access rules
225 new 'bg' trigger command to put long jobs started from a
226 trigger into background
228 %GL_REPO and %GL_CREATOR now work for 'option's also

246 new 'list-dangling-repos' command

249 override system-installed ones
251 new 'upstream' trigger-cum-command to maintain local
252 copies of external repos
256 minor backward compat breakage in 'gitolite query-rc'
258 'perms' command can now create repo if needed
260 migrated 'symbolic-ref' command
262 'gitolite setup --hooks-only'
264 2012-05-23 v3.03 fix major bug that allowed an admin to get a shell
266 2012-05-20 v3.02 packaging instructions fixed up and smoke tested
268 make it easier to give some users a full shell
270 allow aliasing a repo to another name
272 simulate POST_CREATE for new normal (non-wild) repos
274 (just for kicks) a VREF that allows for voting on changes
277 bug fix: smart http was not running PRE_ and POST_GIT
282 2012-04-29 v3.01 mostly BSD and Solaris compat
283 also fork command added
