| Git v2.50 Release Notes |
| ======================= |
| |
| UI, Workflows & Features |
| ------------------------ |
| |
| * A post-processing filter for "diff --raw" output has been |
| introduced. |
| |
| |
| Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. |
| -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| * A handful of built-in command implementations have been rewritten |
| to use the repository instance supplied by git.c:run_builtin(), its |
| caller. |
| |
| * "git fsck" becomes more careful when checking the refs. |
| |
| * "git fast-export | git fast-import" learns to deal with commit and |
| tag objects with embedded signatures a bit better. |
| |
| * The code paths to check whether a refname X is available (by seeing |
| if another ref X/Y exists, etc.) have been optimized. |
| |
| * First step of deprecating and removing merge-recursive. |
| |
| * In protocol v2 where the refs advertisement is constrained, we try |
| to tell the server side not to limit the advertisement when there |
| is no specific need to, which has been the source of confusion and |
| recent bugs. Revamp the logic to simplify. |
| |
| * Update meson based build procedure for breaking changes support. |
| |
| * Enable -Wunreachable-code for developer builds. |
| |
| * Build update. |
| (merge 7c8cd9c158 es/meson-building-docs-requires-perl later to maint). |
| |
| |
| Fixes since v2.49 |
| ----------------- |
| |
| * The refname exclusion logic in the packed-ref backend has been |
| broken for some time, which confused upload-pack to advertise |
| different set of refs. This has been corrected. |
| (merge 10e8a9352b tb/refs-exclude-fixes later to maint). |
| |
| * The merge-recursive and merge-ort machinery crashed in corner cases |
| when certain renames are involved. |
| (merge 3adba40858 en/merge-process-renames-crash-fix later to maint). |
| |
| * Certain "cruft" objects would have never been refreshed when there |
| are multiple cruft packs in the repository, which has been |
| corrected. |
| (merge 08f612ba70 tb/multi-cruft-pack-refresh-fix later to maint). |
| |
| * The xdiff code on 32-bit platform misbehaved when an insanely large |
| context size is given, which has been corrected. |
| (merge d39e28e68c rs/xdiff-context-length-fix later to maint). |
| |
| * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc. |
| (merge 227c4f33a0 ja/doc-block-delimiter-markup-fix later to maint). |
| (merge 2bfd3b3685 ab/decorate-code-cleanup later to maint). |
| (merge 5337daddc7 am/dir-dedup-decl-of-repository later to maint). |
| (merge 554051d691 en/diff-rename-follow-fix later to maint). |
| (merge a18c18b470 en/random-cleanups later to maint). |
| (merge 5af21c9acb hj/doc-rev-list-ancestry-fix later to maint). |
