Hello,
I will be *upgrading Gerrit* from the 3.6 series (Upgraded on Jan 11) to
the 3.7 series. I have scheduled the upgrade for *Monday January 22nd at
9am UTC*. It is immediately after the UTC morning backport & config window.
The upgrade will require the Gerrit service to be stopped for the
duration of the upgrade. This upgrade requires a full reindexing of the
nearly million of changes accross the couple thousands of repositories,
and if I remember well that step alone takes ~ 40 minutes.
Gerrit 3.7 brings:
* Full markdown support in comments (3.6 already added support for
|`backticks`| )
* Mention of users via |@<user>| which is disabled by default but we
might enable
* Bulk actions from the change list to add reviewer, topics or hashtags
* Auto switch between light and dark theme based on OS preference
* And more UI changes
