 ## Bugfix releases
 
+### 3.7.7
+
+* Breaking changes
+
+  * [Change 404018](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/gerrit/+/404018):
+  Add option to populate 'starred' field for change queries.
+
+    `star` option can must now be provided to include the `starred` field in
+    `ChangeInfo`, which indicates if the change is starred by the current user or not.
+
+* New Features
+
+  * [Change 406237](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/gerrit/+/406237):
+  Add metrics for `git/upload-pack/bitmap_index_misses_count` and a separate one for missing bitmap indexes.
+
+    JGit packer tracks the number of times that an object was not
+    found in the bitmap index or if the bitmap index was completely
+    missing.
+    Added the `git/upload-pack/bitmap_index_misses_count` for being used
+    in performance graphs, while the `git/upload-pack/no_bitmap_index`
+    should be more suitable for alerts.
+
+  * [Change 406004](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/gerrit/+/406004):
+  Add timer for git/upload-pack/phase_searching_for_* phases.
+
+    Add metrics for the  "Finding sources" phase, which is critical for an optimal
+    Git/HTTP performance.
+
+  * [Change 404718](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/gerrit/+/404718):
+  Add timer for `git/upload-pack/phase_negotiating`.
+
+    Added the `git/upload-pack/phase_negotiating` so that the Gerrit admin
+    can graph how these are performing and spot any potential issues.
+    JGit packer tracks time spent in the negotiation phase.
+    This statistic was only exposed in the sshd_log and is not available
+    when the client uses Git/HTTP.
+
+  * [Change 402497](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/gerrit/+/402497):
+  Introduce configurable shutdown timeout
+
+    Added `container.shutdownTimeout` to configure the maximum time (in seconds)
+    to wait before terminating Gerrit.
+
+  * [Change 393037](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/gerrit/+/393037):
+  Bazel: Add support for BuildBuddy RBE provider.
+
+    BuildBuddy provides an open-core suite of enterprise features for Bazel.
+
+* Performance Fixes
+
+  * [Change 392634](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/gerrit/+/392634):
+  Improved performance for conflicts: operator and other mergeability checks when submit type is `Merge-If-Necessary`.
+
+* Bug Fixes
+
+  * [Change 404937](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/gerrit/+/404937):
+  Fix copyable change links when base URL has a path.
+
+    Removed extra base URL prefix in `gr-copy-links`. The links are crafted from
+    createChangeUrl which already returns an URL with the base URL.
+
+  * [Issue 311925527](https://issues.gerritcodereview.com/issues/311925527):
+  Fix canonical web url binding in Git over HTTP.
+
+    Fix a problem encountered in the `virutalhost` plugin, where
+    despite proper configuration for tenant canonical web URL, the git push
+    output would use the value of `gerrit.canonicalweburl` configuration option.
+
+  * [Issue 314113030](https://issues.gerritcodereview.com/issues/314113030):
+  Fail the change reindex operation upon StorageException(s).
+
+    Allows some of the indexing operations to fail, so that if a change indexing
+    throws a `StorageException`, so that the change does not disappear
+    from the index.
+
+  * [Issue 318745940](https://issues.gerritcodereview.com/issues/318745940):
+  Fix serverId in identity parsing for imported human comments.
+
+    Remapping of account-ids correctly adapts the comment's author account-ids
+    and `serverId` fixing the inconsistent identity of the comments.
+
+  * [Change 395741](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/gerrit/+/395741):
+  Fix event parse exception when changing repository HEAD.
+
+    Explicitly registered a type and class for `ProjectHeadUpdatedEvent` in `EventType`
+    in order to successfully deserialize events.
+
+* Dependency Updates
