Release Notes for Helix GitSwarm Version 2015.3 Introduction Helix GitSwarm extends the Gitlab Community Edition (CE) software to let users using Git maintain their code repositories in Perforce Helix, facilitating contributions and collaboration between users using Git and users using P4 on complex products containing source code and binaries. Additionally, by maintaining the code repository in the Helix Versioning Engine, GitSwarm enables an enterprise to manage and secure all of its Intellectual Property (IP) in one place. GitSwarm offers users an interface to manage code repositories, means to fork repositories hosted in Helix and collaborate on a project using a "pull-request" style code review workflow. Please send all feedback to support@perforce.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Documentation GitSwarm Release 2015.3 documentation is included in the distribution and can be accessed from within GitSwarm from the "?" menu on the top toolbar Supported Client Browsers GitSwarm supports the following client web browsers and versions: * Chrome (Latest stable version) * Firefox (Latest released version and latest ESR version) * Safari 7+ (known problem: required fields in html5 do not work) * Opera (Latest released version) * IE 10+ We recommend the use of the latest stable version of the browsers listed above for the best experience when using GitSwarm. Other web browsers might also work, including prior, development or beta builds of the above web browsers, but these browsers are not officially supported. Installation and Supported Platforms Please see the separate "install" file, a peer to this file. Upgrading Please see the separate "upgrade" file, a peer to this file. Known Issues * Importing large repos into GitSwarm can take long enough that a timeout is reached, causing the import to fail. The workaround is to manually prepare a local repository, and push that repo into GitSwarm. * Git Fusion HTTP(S) authentication is not supported on CentOS 7 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Major new functionality in 2015.3 #8491fa96, #d307adc4, #eb9349ae, #fc04a46a (PGL-841, PGL-842, PGL-849, PGL-859, PGL-860, PGL-861) Introduced a new all-in-one package that includes a default Helix Server for trying out the product #a8940a55, #5fe7603f (PGL-993, PGL-997, PGL-1043) Add configuration options for connecting to multiple Git Fusion Servers #61ff0890, #93bd4d8a, #cf5ff0c8 (PGL-995, PGL-996, PGL-998, PGL-999, PGL-1050) Add support for creating new repos in Git Fusion when creating a new project GitLab 7.13 - Allow users to send abuse reports - Support commenting on diffs in side-by-side mode (Stan Hu) - Allow users to customize their default Dashboard page. - Reporter role can manage issue tracker now: edit any issue, set assignee or milestone and manage labels - Redesign project page.
