Release Notes for Buildbot 0.8.14
====================================

..
    Any change that adds a feature or fixes a bug should have an entry here.
    Most simply need an additional bulleted list item, but more significant
    changes can be given a subsection of their own.

The following are the release notes for Buildbot 0.8.14.

Master
------

Features
~~~~~~~~

* :bb:step:`Git` supports an "origin" option to give a name to the remote repo.

* two new general steps are added to handle related builds -- :bb:step:`CancelRelatedBuilds` and :bb:step:`StopRelatedBuilds` -- as well as Gerrit specific ones -- :bb:step:`CancelGerritRelatedBuilds` and :bb:step:`StopGerritRelatedBuilds`.
  More information in :ref:`the manual <handle-related-builds>`.

* :class:`~buildbot.status.github.GitHubStatus` now accepts a ``context`` parameter to be passed to the GitHub Status API.

* :bb:sched:`Triggerable` now accepts a ``reason`` parameter.

Fixes
~~~~~

* Cloning :bb:step:`Git` repository with submodules now works with Git < 1.7.6 instead of failing due to the use of the unsupported ``--force`` option.
