The 2.16 series release notes contain important changes in this release series.

Security Fixes

• Packages have been updated to the latest security versions.

Bug Fixes

• Using ghe-migrator or exporting from GitHub.com, an export would silently fail to export pull request review comments when a repository was archived.
• Rename conflicts were not detected while importing from some 3rd party systems using ghe-migrator.

Changes

• Adjusted the memcached graph to include the memory "used" in addition to the memory "free".
• client_id and client_secret were added to the JSON payload when creating a GitHub App via manifest.

Known Issues

• 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.
• Issues cannot be closed if they contain a permalink to a blob in the same repository where the file path is longer than 255 characters.
• Resque workers may not be cleaned up following a configuration run leading to a growing number of stale workers which in turn could lead to high memory consumption.
• GitHub Enterprise Server incorrectly enforces a version of Backup Utilities that is the same or newer than the precise patch version of GitHub Enterprise Server. (updated 2019-06-25)
