| Git v2.44 Release Notes |
| ======================= |
| |
| UI, Workflows & Features |
| |
| * "git add" and "git stash" learned to support the ":(attr:...)" |
| magic pathspec. |
| |
| * "git rebase --autosquash" is now enabled for non-interactive rebase, |
| but it is still incompatible with the apply backend. |
| |
| |
| Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. |
| |
| * Process to add some form of low-level unit tests has started. |
| |
| * Add support for GitLab CI. |
| |
| * "git for-each-ref --no-sort" still sorted the refs alphabetically |
| which paid non-trivial cost. It has been redefined to show output |
| in an unspecified order, to allow certain optimizations to take |
| advantage of. |
| |
| |
| Fixes since v2.43 |
| ----------------- |
| |
| * The way CI testing used "prove" could lead to running the test |
| suite twice needlessly, which has been corrected. |
| (merge e7e03ef995 js/ci-discard-prove-state later to maint). |
| |
| * Update ref-related tests. |
| |
| * "git format-patch --encode-email-headers" ignored the option when |
| preparing the cover letter, which has been corrected. |
| |
| * Newer versions of Getopt::Long started giving warnings against our |
| (ab)use of it in "git send-email". Bump the minimum version |
| requirement for Perl to 5.8.1 (from September 2002) to allow |
| simplifying our implementation. |
| (merge 6ff658cc78 tz/send-email-negatable-options later to maint). |
| |
| * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc. |
