1 | Git v2.4.7 Release Notes |
2 | ======================== | |
3 | ||
4 | Fixes since v2.4.6 | |
5 | ------------------ | |
6 | ||
7 | * A minor regression to "git fsck" in v2.2 era was fixed; it | |
8 | complained about a body-less tag object when it lacked a | |
9 | separator empty line after its header to separate it with a | |
10 | non-existent body. | |
11 | ||
12 | * We used to ask libCURL to use the most secure authentication method | |
13 | available when talking to an HTTP proxy only when we were told to | |
14 | talk to one via configuration variables. We now ask libCURL to | |
15 | always use the most secure authentication method, because the user | |
16 | can tell libCURL to use an HTTP proxy via an environment variable | |
17 | without using configuration variables. | |
18 | ||
19 | * When you say "!<ENTER>" while running say "git log", you'd confuse | |
20 | yourself in the resulting shell, that may look as if you took | |
21 | control back to the original shell you spawned "git log" from but | |
22 | that isn't what is happening. To that new shell, we leaked | |
23 | GIT_PAGER_IN_USE environment variable that was meant as a local | |
24 | communication between the original "Git" and subprocesses that was | |
25 | spawned by it after we launched the pager, which caused many | |
26 | "interesting" things to happen, e.g. "git diff | cat" still paints | |
27 | its output in color by default. | |
28 | ||
29 | Stop leaking that environment variable to the pager's half of the | |
30 | fork; we only need it on "Git" side when we spawn the pager. | |
31 | ||
32 | * Avoid possible ssize_t to int truncation. | |
33 | ||
34 | * "git config" failed to update the configuration file when the | |
35 | underlying filesystem is incapable of renaming a file that is still | |
36 | open. | |
37 | ||
38 | * A minor bugfix when pack bitmap is used with "rev-list --count". | |
39 | ||
40 | * An ancient test framework enhancement to allow color was not | |
41 | entirely correct; this makes it work even when tput needs to read | |
42 | from the ~/.terminfo under the user's real HOME directory. | |
43 | ||
44 | * Fix a small bug in our use of umask() return value. | |
45 | ||
46 | * "git rebase" did not exit with failure when format-patch it invoked | |
47 | failed for whatever reason. | |
48 | ||
49 | * Disable "have we lost a race with competing repack?" check while | |
50 | receiving a huge object transfer that runs index-pack. | |
51 | ||
52 | Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code | |
53 | clean-ups. |
