| Git 2.33 Release Notes |
| ====================== |
| |
| Backward compatibility notes |
| ---------------------------- |
| |
| * The "-m" option in "git log -m" that does not specify which format, |
| if any, of diff is desired did not have any visible effect; it now |
| implies some form of diff (by default "--patch") is produced. |
| |
| You can disable the diff output with "git log -m --no-patch", but |
| then there probably isn't much point in passing "-m" in the first |
| place ;-). |
| |
| |
| Updates since Git 2.32 |
| ---------------------- |
| |
| UI, Workflows & Features |
| |
| * "git send-email" learned the "--sendmail-cmd" command line option |
| and the "sendemail.sendmailCmd" configuration variable, which is a |
| more sensible approach than the current way of repurposing the |
| "smtp-server" that is meant to name the server to instead name the |
| command to talk to the server. |
| |
| * The "-m" option in "git log -m" that does not specify which format, |
| if any, of diff is desired did not have any visible effect; it now |
| implies some form of diff (by default "--patch") is produced. |
| |
| * The userdiff pattern for C# learned the token "record". |
| |
| |
| Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. |
| |
| * The code to handle the "--format" option in "for-each-ref" and |
| friends made too many string comparisons on %(atom)s used in the |
| format string, which has been corrected by converting them into |
| enum when the format string is parsed. |
| |
| * Use the hashfile API in the codepath that writes the index file to |
| reduce code duplication. |
| |
| * Repeated rename detections in a sequence of mergy operations have |
| been optimize out. |
| |
| |
| Fixes since v2.32 |
| ----------------- |
| |
| * We historically rejected a very short string as an author name |
| while accepting a patch e-mail, which has been loosened. |
| (merge 72ee47ceeb ef/mailinfo-short-name later to maint). |
| |
| * The parallel checkout codepath did not initialize object ID field |
| used to talk to the worker processes in a futureproof way. |
| |
| * Rewrite code that triggers undefined behaviour warning. |
| (merge aafa5df0df jn/size-t-casted-to-off-t-fix later to maint). |
| |
| * The description of "fast-forward" in the glossary has been updated. |
| (merge e22f2daed0 ry/clarify-fast-forward-in-glossary later to maint). |
| |
| * Recent "git clone" left a temporary directory behind when the |
| transport layer returned an failure. |
| (merge 6aacb7d861 jk/clone-clean-upon-transport-error later to maint). |
| |
| * "git fetch" over protocol v2 left its side of the socket open after |
| it finished speaking, which unnecessarily wasted the resource on |
| the other side. |
| (merge ae1a7eefff jk/fetch-pack-v2-half-close-early later to maint). |
| |
| * The command line completion (in contrib/) learned that "git diff" |
| takes the "--anchored" option. |
| (merge d1e7c2cac9 tb/complete-diff-anchored later to maint). |
| |
| * "git-svn" tests assumed that "locale -a", which is used to pick an |
| available UTF-8 locale, is available everywhere. A knob has been |
| introduced to allow testers to specify a suitable locale to use. |
| (merge 482c962de4 dd/svn-test-wo-locale-a later to maint). |
| |
| * Update "git subtree" to work better on Windows. |
| (merge 77f37de39f js/subtree-on-windows-fix later to maint). |
| |
| * Remove multimail from contrib/ |
| (merge f74d11471f js/no-more-multimail later to maint). |
| |
| * Make the codebase MSAN clean. |
| (merge 4dbc55e87d ah/uninitialized-reads-fix later to maint). |
| |
| * Work around inefficient glob substitution in older versions of bash |
| by rewriting parts of a test. |
| (merge eb87c6f559 jx/t6020-with-older-bash later to maint). |
| |
| * Avoid duplicated work while building reachability bitmaps. |
| (merge aa9ad6fee5 jk/bitmap-tree-optim later to maint). |
| |
| * We broke "GIT_SKIP_TESTS=t?000" to skip certain tests in recent |
| update, which got fixed. |
| |
| * The side-band demultiplexer that is used to display progress output |
| from the remote end did not clear the line properly when the end of |
| line hits at a packet boundary, which has been corrected. |
| |
| * Some test scripts assumed that readlink(1) was universally |
| installed and available, which is not the case. |
| (merge 7c0afdf23c jk/test-without-readlink-1 later to maint). |
| |
| * Recent update to completion script (in contrib/) broke those who |
| use the __git_complete helper to define completion to their custom |
| command. |
| (merge cea232194d fw/complete-cmd-idx-fix later to maint). |
| |
| * Output from some of our tests were affected by the width of the |
| terminal that they were run in, which has been corrected by |
| exporting a fixed value in the COLUMNS environment. |
| (merge c49a177bec ab/fix-columns-to-80-during-tests later to maint). |
| |
| * On Windows, mergetool has been taught to find kdiff3.exe just like |
| it finds winmerge.exe. |
| (merge 47eb4c6890 ms/mergetools-kdiff3-on-windows later to maint). |
| |
| * When we cannot figure out how wide the terminal is, we use a |
| fallback value of 80 ourselves (which cannot be avoided), but when |
| we run the pager, we export it in COLUMNS, which forces the pager |
| to use the hardcoded value, even when the pager is perfectly |
| capable to figure it out itself. Stop exporting COLUMNS when we |
| fall back on the hardcoded default value for our own use. |
| (merge 9b6e2c8b98 js/stop-exporting-bogus-columns later to maint). |
| |
| * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc. |
| (merge bfe35a6165 ah/doc-describe later to maint). |
| (merge f302c1e4aa jc/clarify-revision-range later to maint). |
| (merge 3127ff90ea tl/fix-packfile-uri-doc later to maint). |
| (merge a84216c684 jk/doc-color-pager later to maint). |
