Fisheye 4.7 release notes
Upgrade to Jetty 9.4
This is the largest technical change made in Fisheye 4.7. We upgraded the underlying Jetty server from 8.1 to the 9.4, which is the latest and most actively supported version. Jetty 9.4 comes with over 3100 bug fixes and improvements implemented, including a number of security fixes, migration from Glassfish to Apache JSP engine, update of Servlet API to 3.1, JSP to 2.3, EL to 3.0 and many more. Jetty 9.4 itself is also compatible with Java 11 and fully supports the IPv6 stack. We plan to migrate Fisheye to Java 11 and add IPv6 support in future releases, so Jetty 9.4 is a step forward on this road.
SVNKit 1.9.3
We upgraded SVNKit to the 1.9.3 version. This version contains a number of bug fixes, including an important fix for logical addressing introduced in Subversion 1.9 repository format. So if you have a large SVN repositories in 1.9 format, we strongly recommend upgrading to Fisheye 4.7.
Support for new platforms
We're happy to announce support for the following new platforms:
- Git 2.19 and 2.20
- PostgreSQL 10, 10.5, and 11
- Oracle 12c R2
- SQL Server 2016 and 2017 (Fisheye 4.7.1 or higher)
- migrated from jTDS to Microsoft JDBC driver (Fisheye 4.7.1 or higher)
MySQL UTF8 4-byte encoding
MySQL's UTF8 character encoding supports only up to 3-byte characters, so till now you weren't able to use emojis like 🍻in your code review. With Fisheye 4.7 you can use migrate your database to 4-byte UTF8 encoding (utf8mb4) and express full palette of emotions with emoticons 😊🙀🙌. We created an article which will guide you how to migrate.

As a Fisheye administrator you will love this. We delivered new REST endpoints so that you can automate Fisheye administration even more:

managing global permissions./rest-service-fecru/admin/pluginsettings
access to plugin settings./rest-service-fecru/admin/repository-permissions/

User endpoints
As an end-user you may find these endpoints useful for your scripts:

paged list of activity items for a review./rest-service/reviewer-search
