| Git v2.46 Release Notes |
| ======================= |
| |
| Backward Compatibility Notes |
| |
| (None at this moment) |
| |
| UI, Workflows & Features |
| |
| * The "--rfc" option of "git format-patch" learned to take an |
| optional string value to be used in place of "RFC" to tweak the |
| "[PATCH]" on the subject header. |
| |
| * The credential helper protocol, together with the HTTP layer, have |
| been enhanced to support authentication schemes different from |
| username & password pair, like Bearer and NTLM. |
| |
| * Command line completion script (in contrib/) learned to complete |
| "git symbolic-ref" a bit better (you need to enable plumbing |
| commands to be completed with GIT_COMPLETION_SHOW_ALL_COMMANDS). |
| |
| * When the user responds to a prompt given by "git add -p" with an |
| unsupported command, list of available commands were given, which |
| was too much if the user knew what they wanted to type but merely |
| made a typo. Now the user gets a much shorter error message. |
| |
| * The color parsing code learned to handle 12-bit RGB colors, spelled |
| as "#RGB" (in addition to "#RRGGBB" that is already supported). |
| |
| |
| Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. |
| |
| * Advertise "git contacts", a tool for newcomers to find people to |
| ask review for their patches, a bit more in our developer |
| documentation. |
| |
| * In addition to building the objects needed, try to link the objects |
| that are used in fuzzer tests, to make sure at least they build |
| without bitrot, in Linux CI runs. |
| |
| * Code to write out reftable has seen some optimization and |
| simplification. |
| |
| * Tests to ensure interoperability between reftable written by jgit |
| and our code have been added and enabled in CI. |
| |
| * The singleton index_state instance "the_index" has been eliminated |
| by always instantiating "the_repository" and replacing references |
| to "the_index" with references to its .index member. |
| |
| |
| Fixes since v2.45 |
| ----------------- |
| |
| * "git rebase --signoff" used to forget that it needs to add a |
| sign-off to the resulting commit when told to continue after a |
| conflict stops its operation. |
| (merge a6c2654f83 pw/rebase-m-signoff-fix later to maint). |
| |
| * The procedure to build multi-pack-index got confused by the |
| replace-refs mechanism, which has been corrected by disabling the |
| latter. |
| (merge 93e2ae1c95 xx/disable-replace-when-building-midx later to maint). |
| |
| * The "-k" and "--rfc" options of "format-patch" will now error out |
| when used together, as one tells us not to add anything to the |
| title of the commit, and the other one tells us to add "RFC" in |
| addition to "PATCH". |
| (merge cadcf58085 ds/format-patch-rfc-and-k later to maint). |
| |
| * "git stash -S" did not handle binary files correctly, which has |
| been corrected. |
| (merge 5fb7686409 aj/stash-staged-fix later to maint). |
| |
| * A scheduled "git maintenance" job is expected to work on all |
| repositories it knows about, but it stopped at the first one that |
| errored out. Now it keeps going. |
| (merge c75662bfc9 js/for-each-repo-keep-going later to maint). |
| |
| * zsh can pretend to be a normal shell pretty well except for some |
| glitches that we tickle in some of our scripts. Work them around |
| so that "vimdiff" and our test suite works well enough with it. |
| (merge fedd5c79ff bc/zsh-compatibility later to maint). |
| |
| * Command line completion support for zsh (in contrib/) has been |
| updated to stop exposing internal state to end-user shell |
| interaction. |
| (merge 3c20acdf46 dk/zsh-git-repo-path-fix later to maint). |
| |
| * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc. |
| (merge 4cf6e7bf5e jt/doc-submitting-rerolled-series later to maint). |
| (merge a5a4cb7b27 rs/diff-parseopts-cleanup later to maint). |
