Hi,
After much delay, Gerrit 2.6 will be coming to our servers. This release brings a *lot* of really cool features and fixes, but I'd like to outline a couple of the major ones:
* A stable, documented RESTful api * Plugin support: ** We'll be replacing Gitweb with Gitblit once the initial dust of the upgrade settles ** We've got a plugin to let us delete projects ** We're working on plugins for renaming projects, as well as providing some Bugzilla integration * IE9 & IE10 are now supported * The code formatter got some updates, which should solve some of the ArrayIndexOutOfBounds errors you saw in some diffs. * Ability to leave comments on a whole file (instead of just a line in a file) * Search suggestions * More unicorns!
We're planning to do this on 1:00-2:00UTC on February 12th (that's 17:00-18:00 PST on February 11th) -- that's one week from today.

I can't believe I forgot to mention two of my favorite new features: * Editing topics and commit messages directly from the UI :)

I realized a little bit ago that I was a bit ambitious in calling the deployment 2.6, so please let me clarify.
Gerrit doesn't name their master 2.6alpha like we do 1.21alpha, which was the source of my confusion. We're actually going to use 2.5.1-1225-gd52acbc, which is based on Wednesday's nightly build of d52acbc from master. This is effectively what will become 2.6 upstream when they finally release ;-)
Just wanted to be explicit about which version we're deploying, since I got some questions on IRC a bit ago about 2.5 vs. 2.6.
Rest assured--we will still be getting the latest and greatest. And we're still on target for late Monday/early Tuesday.

Friendly reminder that Gerrit will be coming down in about an hour for the upgrade. During the upgrade, you may be able to hit Gerrit intermittently as it'll restart several times. Once the dust has settled, I'll be sure to let everyone know.

Took a few minutes longer than expected, but we're back up and everything's live. We had to deploy a newer version to grab one last fix we spotted during the upgrade. Our deployed version is now 2.5.1-1266-gcc231e1.
There might be a few problems left over with the IRC notifications, I'll tackle those tomorrow (making sure replication is working properly now). If you spot any other problems, please let me know.
