* Emails are now sent in html format by default instead of the old default of plain text.
* ssh-eddsa is now supported which means a more securer code review server. https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/#/c/100998/ (though there was a bug that actually prevented this from working, Fix was released upstream and is included in gerrit master branch which is soon to be 2.15)
