+ * 'git receive-pack' has been refactored to use ODB transaction
+   interfaces instead of directly managing 'tmp_objdir' for staging
+   incoming objects, bringing it closer to being ODB backend agnostic.
+
+ * The test script 't/t9811-git-p4-label-import.sh' has been
+   modernized to use 'test_path_is_file' and 'test_path_is_missing'
+   instead of raw 'test -f' and '! test -f' calls.
+
+ * A redundant strbuf_reset() call in the 'HAVE_GETDELIM' path of
+   strbuf_getwholeline() has been removed, as getdelim() overwrites the
+   buffer and the length is updated afterward.
+
+ * The object database enumeration interface odb_for_each_object() has
+   been taught to accept object filters, allowing the underlying backends
+   to optimize the traversal by using reachability bitmaps when
+   available.  'git cat-file --batch-all-objects' has been updated to use
+   this generic interface, simplifying its code and avoiding direct
+   access to ODB backend internals.
+
+ * The test script 't/t1100-commit-tree-options.sh' has been modernized
+   by converting test cases to the modern style (using single quotes and
+   tab indentation) and moving the creation of the expected file inside
+   the setup test so it runs under the protection of the test harness.
+
+ * The test script 't/t7614-merge-signoff.sh' has been updated to avoid
+   suppressing the exit code of 'git' commands in a pipe.
+
+ * The 'git rev-list --no-walk' command has been corrected to restore
+   pathspec filtering, which was lost when the streaming walk was
+   refactored.
