| Git v2.3.2 Release Notes | |
| ======================== | |
| Fixes since v2.3.1 | |
| ------------------ | |
| * "update-index --refresh" used to leak when an entry cannot be | |
| refreshed for whatever reason. | |
| * "git fast-import" used to crash when it could not close and | |
| conclude the resulting packfile cleanly. | |
| * "git blame" died, trying to free an uninitialized piece of memory. | |
| * "git merge-file" did not work correctly in a subdirectory. | |
| * "git submodule add" failed to squash "path/to/././submodule" to | |
| "path/to/submodule". | |
| * In v2.2.0, we broke "git prune" that runs in a repository that | |
| borrows from an alternate object store. | |
| * Certain older vintages of cURL give irregular output from | |
| "curl-config --vernum", which confused our build system. | |
| * An earlier workaround to squelch unhelpful deprecation warnings | |
| from the compiler on Mac OSX unnecessarily set minimum required | |
| version of the OS, which the user might want to raise (or lower) | |
| for other reasons. | |
| * Longstanding configuration variable naming rules has been added to | |
| the documentation. | |
| * The credential helper for Windows (in contrib/) used to mishandle | |
| a user name with an at-sign in it. | |
| * Older GnuPG implementations may not correctly import the keyring | |
| material we prepare for the tests to use. | |
| * Clarify in the documentation that "remote.<nick>.pushURL" and | |
| "remote.<nick>.URL" are there to name the same repository accessed | |
| via different transports, not two separate repositories. | |
| * The pack bitmap support did not build with older versions of GCC. | |
| * Reading configuration from a blob object, when it ends with a lone | |
| CR, use to confuse the configuration parser. | |
| * We didn't format an integer that wouldn't fit in "int" but in | |
| "uintmax_t" correctly. | |
| * "git push --signed" gave an incorrectly worded error message when | |
| the other side did not support the capability. | |
| * "git fetch" over a remote-helper that cannot respond to "list" | |
| command could not fetch from a symbolic reference e.g. HEAD. | |
| * The insn sheet "git rebase -i" creates did not fully honor | |
| core.abbrev settings. | |
| * The tests that wanted to see that file becomes unreadable after | |
| running "chmod a-r file", and the tests that wanted to make sure it | |
| is not run as root, we used "can we write into the / directory?" as | |
| a cheap substitute, but on some platforms that is not a good | |
| heuristics. The tests and their prerequisites have been updated to | |
| check what they really require. | |
| * The configuration variable 'mailinfo.scissors' was hard to | |
| discover in the documentation. | |
| * Correct a breakage to git-svn around v2.2 era that triggers | |
| premature closing of FileHandle. | |
| * Even though we officially haven't dropped Perl 5.8 support, the | |
| Getopt::Long package that came with it does not support "--no-" | |
| prefix to negate a boolean option; manually add support to help | |
| people with older Getopt::Long package. | |
| Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups. |
