1 | Git 2.25 Release Notes |
2 | ====================== | |
3 | ||
4 | Updates since v2.24 | |
5 | ------------------- | |
6 | ||
7 | Backward compatibility notes | |
8 | ||
9 | ||
10 | UI, Workflows & Features | |
11 | ||
12 | * A tutorial on object enumeration has been added. | |
13 | ||
14 | * The branch description ("git branch --edit-description") has been | |
15 | used to fill the body of the cover letters by the format-patch | |
16 | command; this has been enhanced so that the subject can also be | |
17 | filled. | |
18 | ||
19 | * "git rebase --preserve-merges" has been marked as deprecated; this | |
20 | release stops advertising it in the "git rebase -h" output. | |
21 | ||
22 | * The code to generate multi-pack index learned to show (or not to | |
23 | show) progress indicators. | |
24 | ||
25 | * "git apply --3way" learned to honor merge.conflictStyle | |
26 | configuration variable, like merges would. | |
27 | ||
28 | * The custom format for "git log --format=<format>" learned the l/L | |
29 | placeholder that is similar to e/E that fills in the e-mail | |
30 | address, but only the local part on the left side of '@'. | |
31 | ||
228f5313 JH |
32 | * Documentation pages for "git shortlog" now list commit limiting |
33 | options explicitly. | |
34 | ||
35 | * The patterns to detect function boundary for Elixir language has | |
36 | been added. | |
37 | ||
38 | * The completion script (in contrib/) learned that the "--onto" | |
39 | option of "git rebase" can take its argument as the value of the | |
40 | option. | |
41 | ||
083378cc JH |
42 | * The userdiff machinery has been taught that "async def" is another |
43 | way to begin a "function" in Python. | |
44 | ||
45 | * "git range-diff" learned to take the "--notes=<ref>" and the | |
46 | "--no-notes" options to control the commit notes included in the | |
47 | log message that gets compared. | |
48 | ||
49 | * "git rev-parse --show-toplevel" run outside of any working tree did | |
50 | not error out, which has been corrected. | |
51 | ||
d9f6f3b6 JH |
52 | |
53 | Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. | |
54 | ||
55 | * Debugging support for lazy cloning has been a bit improved. | |
56 | ||
57 | * Move the definition of a set of bitmask constants from 0ctal | |
58 | literal to (1U<<count) notation. | |
59 | ||
60 | * Test updates to prepare for SHA-2 transition continues. | |
61 | ||
228f5313 JH |
62 | * Crufty code and logic accumulated over time around the object |
63 | parsing and low-level object access used in "git fsck" have been | |
64 | cleaned up. | |
65 | ||
66 | * The implementation of "git log --graph" got refactored and then its | |
67 | output got simplified. | |
68 | ||
69 | * Follow recent push to move API docs from Documentation/ to header | |
70 | files and update config.h | |
71 | ||
72 | * "git bundle" has been taught to use the parse options API. "git | |
73 | bundle verify" learned "--quiet" and "git bundle create" learned | |
74 | options to control the progress output. | |
75 | ||
76 | * Handling of commit objects that use non UTF-8 encoding during | |
77 | "rebase -i" has been improved. | |
78 | ||
083378cc JH |
79 | * The beginning of rewriting "git add -i" in C. |
80 | ||
81 | * A label used in the todo list that are generated by "git rebase | |
82 | --rebase-merges" is used as a part of a refname; the logic to come | |
83 | up with the label has been tightened to avoid names that cannot be | |
84 | used as such. | |
85 | ||
86 | * The logic to avoid duplicate label names generated by "git rebase | |
87 | --rebase-merges" forgot that the machinery itself uses "onto" as a | |
88 | label name, which must be avoided by auto-generated labels, which | |
89 | has been corrected. | |
90 | ||
91 | * We have had compatibility fallback macro definitions for "PRIuMAX", | |
92 | "PRIu32", etc. but did not for "PRIdMAX", while the code used the | |
93 | last one apparently without any hiccup reported recently. The | |
94 | fallback macro definitions for these <inttypes.h> macros that must | |
95 | appear in C99 systems have been removed. | |
96 | ||
97 | * Recently we have declared that GIT_TEST_* variables take the | |
98 | usual boolean values (it used to be that some used "non-empty | |
99 | means true" and taking GIT_TEST_VAR=YesPlease as true); make | |
100 | sure we notice and fail when non-bool strings are given to | |
101 | these variables. | |
102 | ||
103 | * Users of oneway_merge() (like "reset --hard") learned to take | |
104 | advantage of fsmonitor to avoid unnecessary lstat(2) calls. | |
105 | ||
559c6fc3 JH |
106 | * Performance tweak on "git push" into a repository with many refs |
107 | that point at objects we have never heard of. | |
108 | ||
109 | * PerfTest fix to avoid stale result mixed up with the latest round | |
110 | of test results. | |
111 | ||
d9f6f3b6 JH |
112 | |
113 | Fixes since v2.24 | |
114 | ----------------- | |
115 | ||
116 | * "rebase -i" ceased to run post-commit hook by mistake in an earlier | |
117 | update, which has been corrected. | |
118 | ||
119 | * "git notes copy $original" ought to copy the notes attached to the | |
120 | original object to HEAD, but a mistaken tightening to command line | |
121 | parameter validation made earlier disabled that feature by mistake. | |
122 | ||
123 | * When all files from some subdirectory were renamed to the root | |
124 | directory, the directory rename heuristics would fail to detect that | |
125 | as a rename/merge of the subdirectory to the root directory, which has | |
126 | been corrected. | |
127 | ||
128 | * Code clean-up and a bugfix in the logic used to tell worktree local | |
129 | and repository global refs apart. | |
130 | (merge f45f88b2e4 sg/dir-trie-fixes later to maint). | |
131 | ||
132 | * "git stash save" in a working tree that is sparsely checked out | |
133 | mistakenly removed paths that are outside the area of interest. | |
134 | (merge 4a58c3d7f7 js/update-index-ignore-removal-for-skip-worktree later to maint). | |
135 | ||
228f5313 JH |
136 | * "git rev-parse --git-path HEAD.lock" did not give the right path |
137 | when run in a secondary worktree. | |
138 | (merge 76a53d640f js/git-path-head-dot-lock-fix later to maint). | |
139 | ||
140 | * "git merge --no-commit" needs "--no-ff" if you do not want to move | |
141 | HEAD, which has been corrected in the manual page for "git bisect". | |
142 | (merge 8dd327b246 ma/bisect-doc-sample-update later to maint). | |
143 | ||
144 | * "git worktree add" internally calls "reset --hard" that should not | |
145 | descend into submodules, even when submodule.recurse configuration | |
146 | is set, but it was affected. This has been corrected. | |
147 | (merge 4782cf2ab6 pb/no-recursive-reset-hard-in-worktree-add later to maint). | |
148 | ||
149 | * Messages from die() etc. can be mixed up from multiple processes | |
150 | without even line buffering on Windows, which has been worked | |
151 | around. | |
152 | (merge 116d1fa6c6 js/vreportf-wo-buffering later to maint). | |
153 | ||
154 | * HTTP transport had possible allocator/deallocator mismatch, which | |
155 | has been corrected. | |
156 | ||
157 | * The watchman integration for fsmonitor was racy, which has been | |
158 | corrected to be more conservative. | |
159 | (merge dd0b61f577 kw/fsmonitor-watchman-fix later to maint). | |
160 | ||
161 | * Fetching from multiple remotes into the same repository in parallel | |
162 | had a bad interaction with the recent change to (optionally) update | |
163 | the commit-graph after a fetch job finishes, as these parallel | |
164 | fetches compete with each other. Which has been corrected. | |
165 | ||
166 | * Recent update to "git stash pop" made the command empty the index | |
167 | when run with the "--quiet" option, which has been corrected. | |
168 | ||
169 | * "git fetch" codepath had a big "do not lazily fetch missing objects | |
170 | when I ask if something exists" switch. This has been corrected by | |
171 | marking the "does this thing exist?" calls with "if not please do not | |
172 | lazily fetch it" flag. | |
173 | ||
174 | * Test update to avoid wasted cycles. | |
175 | (merge e0316695ec sg/skip-skipped-prereq later to maint). | |
176 | ||
177 | * Error handling after "git push" finishes sending the packdata and | |
178 | waits for the response to the remote side has been improved. | |
179 | (merge ad7a403268 jk/send-pack-remote-failure later to maint). | |
180 | ||
181 | * Some codepaths in "gitweb" that forgot to escape URLs generated | |
182 | based on end-user input have been corrected. | |
183 | (merge a376e37b2c jk/gitweb-anti-xss later to maint). | |
184 | ||
083378cc JH |
185 | * CI jobs for macOS has been made less chatty when updating perforce |
186 | package used during testing. | |
187 | (merge 0dbc4a0edf jc/azure-ci-osx-fix-fix later to maint). | |
188 | ||
189 | * "git unpack-objects" used to show progress based only on the number | |
190 | of received and unpacked objects, which stalled when it has to | |
191 | handle an unusually large object. It now shows the throughput as | |
192 | well. | |
193 | (merge bae60ba7e9 sg/unpack-progress-throughput later to maint). | |
194 | ||
195 | * The sequencer machinery compared the HEAD and the state it is | |
196 | attempting to commit to decide if the result would be a no-op | |
197 | commit, even when amending a commit, which was incorrect, and | |
198 | has been corrected. | |
199 | ||
200 | * The code to parse GPG output used to assume incorrectly that the | |
201 | finterprint for the primary key would always be present for a valid | |
202 | signature, which has been corrected. | |
203 | (merge 67a6ea6300 hi/gpg-optional-pkfp-fix later to maint). | |
204 | ||
205 | * "git submodule status" and "git submodule status --cached" show | |
206 | different things, but the documentation did not cover them | |
207 | correctly, which has been corrected. | |
208 | (merge 8d483c8408 mg/doc-submodule-status-cached later to maint). | |
209 | ||
210 | * "git reset --patch $object" without any pathspec should allow a | |
211 | tree object to be given, but incorrectly required a committish, | |
212 | which has been corrected. | |
213 | ||
214 | * "git submodule status" that is run from a subdirectory of the | |
215 | superproject did not work well, which has been corrected. | |
216 | (merge 1f3aea22c7 mg/submodule-status-from-a-subdirectory later to maint). | |
217 | ||
218 | * The revision walking machinery uses resources like per-object flag | |
219 | bits that need to be reset before a new iteration of walking | |
220 | begins, but the resources related to topological walk were not | |
221 | cleared correctly, which has been corrected. | |
222 | (merge 0aa0c2b2ec mh/clear-topo-walk-upon-reset later to maint). | |
223 | ||
559c6fc3 JH |
224 | * TravisCI update. |
225 | (merge 176441bfb5 sg/osx-force-gcc-9 later to maint). | |
226 | ||
227 | * While running "revert" or "cherry-pick --edit" for multiple | |
228 | commits, a recent regression incorrectly detected "nothing to | |
229 | commit, working tree clean", instead of replaying the commits, | |
230 | which has been corrected. | |
231 | (merge befd4f6a81 sg/assume-no-todo-update-in-cherry-pick later to maint). | |
232 | ||
d9f6f3b6 JH |
233 | * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc. |
234 | (merge 80736d7c5e jc/am-show-current-patch-docfix later to maint). | |
235 | (merge 8b656572ca sg/commit-graph-usage-fix later to maint). | |
