  * "git status" now suggests to use 'git merge --continue', not 'git commit',

+ * A new 'uploadpack.lazyFetchTrusted' configuration variable has been

+ * Unicode character width table has been updated to match

+ * When recreating a merge conflict using 'git checkout -m', the
+   original conflict labels (such as branch names) were lost and
+   replaced with generic ones.  The merge machinery has been updated to
+   record the original labels in '.git/MERGE_LABELS', allowing 'git
+   checkout -m' to restore them.
+
+ * The git history command and its subcommands have been updated to
+   honor the commit.gpgSign configuration variable and accept the
+   --gpg-sign and --no-gpg-sign command-line options, ensuring both
+   rewritten commits and their replayed descendants are
+   cryptographically signed by the committer.
+
+ * The progress message emitted by the 'delta-islands' subsystem has
+   been updated to use the Q_() macro, allowing translators to properly
+   handle plural forms based on the number of islands marked.
