10 New Features

12
13
14 - Full-text search: added support for ElasticSearch 6.X (ES6)
15 - Full-text search: Expose a quick way to search within repository groups using ES6.
16 - Full-text search: Add quick links to broaden/narrow search scope to repositories or
17 repository groups from global search.
18 - Full-text search: ES6 backend adds new highlighter, and search markers for better UX when searching.
19 - Full-text search: ES6 backend has enabled advanced `query string syntax`
20 adding more search and filtering capabilities.
21 - Full-text search: ES6 engine will now show added information where available such as line numbers file size.
22 - Files: added option to use highlight marker to show keywords inside file source. This
23 is used now for ES6 backend extended highlighting capabilities
24 - Artifacts (beta): EE edition exposes new feature called storage_api this allows storing
25 binary files outside of Version Control System, but in the scope of a repository or group.
26 This will soon become an Artifacts functionality available in EE edition.
27 - Authentication: introduced `User restriction` and `Scope restriction` for RhodeCode authentication plugins.
28 Admins can limit usage of RhodeCode plugins to super-admins user types, and usage in Web, or VCS protocol only.
29 This is mostly to help to migrate users to SAML, keeping the super-admins to manage instances via local-logins,
30 and secondly to force usage of AuthenticationTokens instead of re-using same credentials for
31 WEB and VCS authentication.
32 - API: added basic upload API for the storage_api. It's possible to store files using internal
33 API. This is a start for attachments upload in RhodeCode.
34 - API: added store_exception_api for remote exception storage. This is used by a new
35 indexer that will report any problems back into the RhodeCode instance in case of indexing problems.
36 - API: added function to fetch comments for a repository.
37 - Quick search: improve the styling of search input and results.
38 - Pull requests: allowed to select all forks and parent forks of target repository in creation UI.
39 This is a common workflow supported by GitHub etc.

86 Security
87 ^^^^^^^^

96 Performance
97 ^^^^^^^^^^^
98
99 - Summary page: don't load repo size when showing expanded information about repository.
100 Size calculation needs to be triggered manually.

105 Fixes
106 ^^^^^
107
108 - Installer: fixed 32bit package builds broken in previous releases.
109 - Git: use iterative fetch to prevent errors about too many arguments on
110 synchronizing very large repositories.
111 - Git: pass in the SSL dir that is exposed from wire for remote GIT commands.
112 - LDAP+Groups: improve logging, and fix the case when extracting group name from LDAP
113 returned nothing. We should warn about that, but not FAIL on login.
114 - Default reviewers: fixed submodule support in picking reviewers from annotation for files.
115 - Hooks: handle non-ascii characters in hooks new pull-requests open template.
116 - Diffs: fixed missing limited diff container display on over-size limit diffs.
117 - Diffs: fixed 500 error in case of some very uncommon diffs containing only Unicode characters.
118 - Repositories: handle VCS backend unavailable correctly in advanced settings for the repository.
119 - Remap & rescan: prevent empty/damaged repositories to break the remap operation.
120 - Visual: fixed show revision/commit length settings.
121 - Mercurial submodules: only show submodule in the path that it belongs too.
122 Before even submodules from root node were shown in subdirectories.
123 - UI/Files: fixed icons in file tree search.
124 - WebHook integration: quote URL variables to prevent URL errors with special chars
125 like # in the title.
126 - API: pull-requests, fixed invocation of merge as another user.
127 - VCS: limit fd leaks on subprocessio calls.
128 - VCS: expose SSL certificate path over the wire to the vcsserver, this solves some
129 remote SSL import problems reported.

132 Upgrade notes
133 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
134
135 This release brings the new Full-text search capabilities using ElasticSearch 6.
136 If you use Elastic Search backend a backward compatibility mode is enabled and
137 ElasticSearch backend defaults to previously used ElasticSearch 2.
138
139 To use new features a full index rebuild is required, in addition ```--es-version=6``` flag
140 needs to be used with indexer and ```search.es_version = 6``` should be set in rhodecode.ini
141
142 Additionally new mapping format is available for the indexer that has additional capabilities
143 for include/exclude rules. Old format should work as well, but we encourage to
144 generate a new mapping.ini file using rhodecode-index command, and migrate your repositories
145 to the new format.
146
147 Please refer to the :ref:`indexing-ref` documentation for more details.
