Summary of changes from December 14th, 2019 to January 30th, 2020.

• These changes were promoted to stable.

General

• [] Fixed an issue with git rev-parse --show-toplevel, which has changed in Git 2.25. Older versions of Phabricator will not be able to update observed repositories if the installed version of Git is 2.25 or newer.

Security

• No notes in this period.

Migrations

• No migrations in this period.

Upgrading / Compatibility

• Some Herald rule behavior has changed slightly. See below.
• Query compiler classes have moved from libphutil/ to phabricator/.

Herald

See T13480 for most of these changes.

• The Herald "Committer" and "Author" fields for "Commit" and "Pre-Commit" rules now use repository identities. If you have bound a particular identity (like Alice <alice@personal-domain.org>) to a user (like @afletcher), Herald will now respect that binding when evaluating rules. Previously, Herald only used the raw identity resolution rules (attempting to match email addresses, usernames, and real names).
• Added an "Author's packages" field for revision, commit, and pre-commit rules.
• Added a "Committer's packages" field for commit and pre-commit rules.
• [] Added "Project tags added" and "Project tags removed" fields. These fields allow you to take an action when a tag is added or removed, rather than acting only on the final object state.
• Muting a Herald rule no longer fatals (but it doesn't do anything useful). See T13469.
• Herald transcripts should now render more fields in a more readable way.

Minor

• [] Fixed an issue where the last line of a block-based diff (like a Juypter notebook) could be hidden incorrectly. See T13468.
• [] Improved arc land compatibility with very old versions of Git. See T13481.
• Fixed some code which raised warnings in very new versions of PHP. See T13471 and T13472.
• [] When long header tags or policy controls in certain dialog wrap on narrow displays, they no longer visually overlap. See T13476.
• [] Remarkup checklists no longer render completed items with a strikethrough style. See T13482.
• [] Timeline stories which require MFA if MFA is configured no longer receive a "MFA Authenticated" badge if the user who took the action does not actually have MFA configured. See T13475.
