1 | Git v2.14.2 Release Notes |
2 | ========================= | |
3 | ||
4 | Fixes since v2.14.1 | |
5 | ------------------- | |
6 | ||
7 | * Because recent Git for Windows do come with a real msgfmt, the | |
8 | build procedure for git-gui has been updated to use it instead of a | |
9 | hand-rolled substitute. | |
10 | ||
11 | * "%C(color name)" in the pretty print format always produced ANSI | |
12 | color escape codes, which was an early design mistake. They now | |
13 | honor the configuration (e.g. "color.ui = never") and also tty-ness | |
14 | of the output medium. | |
15 | ||
16 | * The http.{sslkey,sslCert} configuration variables are to be | |
17 | interpreted as a pathname that honors "~[username]/" prefix, but | |
18 | weren't, which has been fixed. | |
19 | ||
20 | * Numerous bugs in walking of reflogs via "log -g" and friends have | |
21 | been fixed. | |
22 | ||
23 | * "git commit" when seeing an totally empty message said "you did not | |
24 | edit the message", which is clearly wrong. The message has been | |
25 | corrected. | |
26 | ||
27 | * When a directory is not readable, "gitweb" fails to build the | |
28 | project list. Work this around by skipping such a directory. | |
29 | ||
30 | * A recently added test for the "credential-cache" helper revealed | |
31 | that EOF detection done around the time the connection to the cache | |
32 | daemon is torn down were flaky. This was fixed by reacting to | |
33 | ECONNRESET and behaving as if we got an EOF. | |
34 | ||
94c9fd26 JH |
35 | * Some versions of GnuPG fail to kill gpg-agent it auto-spawned |
36 | and such a left-over agent can interfere with a test. Work it | |
37 | around by attempting to kill one before starting a new test. | |
38 | ||
39 | * "git log --tag=no-such-tag" showed log starting from HEAD, which | |
40 | has been fixed---it now shows nothing. | |
41 | ||
42 | * The "tag.pager" configuration variable was useless for those who | |
43 | actually create tag objects, as it interfered with the use of an | |
44 | editor. A new mechanism has been introduced for commands to enable | |
45 | pager depending on what operation is being carried out to fix this, | |
46 | and then "git tag -l" is made to run pager by default. | |
47 | ||
48 | * "git push --recurse-submodules $there HEAD:$target" was not | |
49 | propagated down to the submodules, but now it is. | |
50 | ||
51 | * Commands like "git rebase" accepted the --rerere-autoupdate option | |
52 | from the command line, but did not always use it. This has been | |
53 | fixed. | |
54 | ||
55 | * "git clone --recurse-submodules --quiet" did not pass the quiet | |
56 | option down to submodules. | |
57 | ||
58 | * "git am -s" has been taught that some input may end with a trailer | |
59 | block that is not Signed-off-by: and it should refrain from adding | |
60 | an extra blank line before adding a new sign-off in such a case. | |
61 | ||
62 | * "git svn" used with "--localtime" option did not compute the tz | |
63 | offset for the timestamp in question and instead always used the | |
64 | current time, which has been corrected. | |
65 | ||
66 | * Memory leaks in a few error codepaths have been plugged. | |
67 | ||
68 | * bash 4.4 or newer gave a warning on NUL byte in command | |
69 | substitution done in "git stash"; this has been squelched. | |
70 | ||
71 | * "git grep -L" and "git grep --quiet -L" reported different exit | |
72 | codes; this has been corrected. | |
73 | ||
74 | * When handshake with a subprocess filter notices that the process | |
75 | asked for an unknown capability, Git did not report what program | |
76 | the offending subprocess was running. This has been corrected. | |
77 | ||
78 | * "git apply" that is used as a better "patch -p1" failed to apply a | |
79 | taken from a file with CRLF line endings to a file with CRLF line | |
80 | endings. The root cause was because it misused convert_to_git() | |
81 | that tried to do "safe-crlf" processing by looking at the index | |
82 | entry at the same path, which is a nonsense---in that mode, "apply" | |
83 | is not working on the data in (or derived from) the index at all. | |
84 | This has been fixed. | |
85 | ||
86 | * Killing "git merge --edit" before the editor returns control left | |
87 | the repository in a state with MERGE_MSG but without MERGE_HEAD, | |
88 | which incorrectly tells the subsequent "git commit" that there was | |
89 | a squash merge in progress. This has been fixed. | |
90 | ||
91 | * "git archive" did not work well with pathspecs and the | |
92 | export-ignore attribute. | |
93 | ||
4010f1d1 JH |
94 | * "git cvsserver" no longer is invoked by "git daemon" by default, |
95 | as it is old and largely unmaintained. | |
96 | ||
97 | * Various Perl scripts did not use safe_pipe_capture() instead of | |
98 | backticks, leaving them susceptible to end-user input. They have | |
99 | been corrected. | |
100 | ||
edc74bc7 | 101 | Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. |

103 | Credits go to joernchen <joernchen@phenoelit.de> for finding the | |
104 | unsafe constructs in "git cvsserver", and to Jeff King at GitHub for | |
105 | finding and fixing instances of the same issue in other scripts. |
