The 2.10 series release notes contain important changes in this release series.

Security Fixes

• LOW: The TLS cipher list did not include ciphers that offer forward secrecy for legacy browsers.
• Packages have been updated to the latest security versions.

Bug Fixes

• ghe-repl-status-pages showed a critical status if run while a sync is in progress.
• The Management Console password could not be reset using ghe-set-password when the appliance is in recovery mode.
• ghe-diagnostics could output Connection refused line items when Redis, Memcached, or Elasticsearch services aren't running.
• Background job errors could cause Redis to consume large amounts of memory.
• Viewing a pull request could fail with a 500 Internal Server Error if it contained a review request from a deleted user.
• The mobile view of the pull request dashboard displayed "No issues to show" instead of "No pull requests to show".
• The site admin cache indicator always displayed the memcached service as being active.
• Fetching a list of reviews from the API could have returned an empty page.

Known Issues

• We incorrectly redirect to the dashboard if you accessed GitHub Enterprise using an alias while in private mode. This might happen if you set a fully qualified domain name but the subdomain resolves correctly.
• Images uploaded to issues save with an absolute URL, so they can be broken if the hostname changes.
• On a freshly set up GitHub Enterprise without any users, an attacker could create the first admin user.
• Custom firewall rules aren't maintained during an upgrade.
• svn checkout may timeout while the repository data cache is being built. In most cases, subsequent svn checkout attempts will succeed.
• Git LFS tracked files uploaded through the web interface are incorrectly added directly to the repository.
• GitHub Enterprise clustering can not be configured without https.
• Deleting a search index doesn't delete all associated metadata, which are then incorrectly reused if a new search index is created. This causes search index repair jobs to be reported as finished in the site admin when they were not.
• After changing the visibility of a repository, wiki search results have a conflicting number of displayed search results. Administrators can reindex the wiki through the site admin dashboard. (updated 2017-11-09)
• The create team API endpoint returns a 500 error if LDAP Sync is enabled and the team already exists. (updated 2018-01-09)
• Pull request reviewer usernames were not updated if a reviewer was mapped to a different username when migrating repositories using ghe-migrator. (updated 2018-04-12)
