Side-by-side diff

Recently, GitHub supported side-by-side diff. In GitBucket 2.4 has been supported side-by-side diff too. You can switch merged style and side-by-side style in the diff view.

Side-by-side diff

GitBucket had some problems in resolving relative path in Markdown redering (e.g. Wiki, README.md and blob view for Markdown files).

In this release, this problem has been fixed, so relative path is available as links or images. For example, the following Markdown was not rendered in GitBucket 2.3, but it renders the image correctly in 2.4.

Plugin System is disabled in default

Plugin system has been disabled in default in this release, because it need many improvements but we can’t do it soon. If you want to enable plugin system, add -Denable.plugin=true to the JavaVM option.

In addition, some bug fix and improvements are contained in this release. See all closed issues in this release to know details.

Enjoy GitBucket!
