New Features

General

• RSS: use permalinks without slashes for feeds. Fixes #5557. RSS feed will now use links that won't change when a repository is renamed, and in addition they now have better compatibility with Outlook.
• Pull Requests: make merge state calculation default to disabled. This causes a lot of performance problems and should default to faster way
• Pull Requests: add indication of state change in list of pull-requests and actually show them in the list. Before PRs that were in states like "merging" were hidden from the PR list. Now we show them with grey-out display indicating PR is changing states.
• API: extended upload api to be able to upload files with ACL checks enabled

Security

Performance

• Pull Requests: don't calculate merge state several times for repo on each pr display object state.
• Logging: http logging should limit the data to some sane amount. In some cases we could log 100MBs into logs that weren't useful at all.

Fixes

• config: fixed special character in gunicorn config that caused problems during installation.
• path-filter: enable checking for files access for quick search menu in files view.
• rcextensions: improved messaging on rcextensions load fail
• Repository permissions: enable shortcut to set private mode in permission page.
• UI: fixed style for ancestor commit. Fixes #5558
• Events: ensure stable execution of integrations (in order: global, per-group, per-repo)
• Settings: custom header/footer code message correction
• Artifacts: don't crash when metadata isn't complete. This can be a case for edited upload attachements

Upgrade notes

• Scheduled release addressing problems in 4.17.X releases.
