| Git v2.12.1 Release Notes |
| ========================= |
| |
| Fixes since v2.12 |
| ----------------- |
| |
| * Reduce authentication round-trip over HTTP when the server supports |
| just a single authentication method. This also improves the |
| behaviour when Git is misconfigured to enable http.emptyAuth |
| against a server that does not authenticate without a username |
| (i.e. not using Kerberos etc., which makes http.emptyAuth |
| pointless). |
| |
| * Windows port wants to use OpenSSL's implementation of SHA-1 |
| routines, so let them. |
| |
| * Add 32-bit Linux variant to the set of platforms to be tested with |
| Travis CI. |
| |
| * When a redirected http transport gets an error during the |
| redirected request, we ignored the error we got from the server, |
| and ended up giving a not-so-useful error message. |
| |
| * The patch subcommand of "git add -i" was meant to have paths |
| selection prompt just like other subcommand, unlike "git add -p" |
| directly jumps to hunk selection. Recently, this was broken and |
| "add -i" lost the paths selection dialog, but it now has been |
| fixed. |
| |
| * Git v2.12 was shipped with an embarrassing breakage where various |
| operations that verify paths given from the user stopped dying when |
| seeing an issue, and instead later triggering segfault. |
| |
| * The code to parse "git log -L..." command line was buggy when there |
| are many ranges specified with -L; overrun of the allocated buffer |
| has been fixed. |
| |
| * The command-line parsing of "git log -L" copied internal data |
| structures using incorrect size on ILP32 systems. |
| |
| Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. |
