| Git v2.10.3 Release Notes |
| ========================= |
| |
| Fixes since v2.10.2 |
| ------------------- |
| |
| * Extract a small helper out of the function that reads the authors |
| script file "git am" internally uses. |
| This by itself is not useful until a second caller appears in the |
| future for "rebase -i" helper. |
| |
| * The command-line completion script (in contrib/) learned to |
| complete "git cmd ^mas<HT>" to complete the negative end of |
| reference to "git cmd ^master". |
| |
| * "git send-email" attempts to pick up valid e-mails from the |
| trailers, but people in real world write non-addresses there, like |
| "Cc: Stable <add@re.ss> # 4.8+", which broke the output depending |
| on the availability and vintage of Mail::Address perl module. |
| |
| * The code that we have used for the past 10+ years to cycle |
| 4-element ring buffers turns out to be not quite portable in |
| theoretical world. |
| |
| * "git daemon" used fixed-length buffers to turn URL to the |
| repository the client asked for into the server side directory |
| path, using snprintf() to avoid overflowing these buffers, but |
| allowed possibly truncated paths to the directory. This has been |
| tightened to reject such a request that causes overlong path to be |
| required to serve. |
| |
| * Recent update to git-sh-setup (a library of shell functions that |
| are used by our in-tree scripted Porcelain commands) included |
| another shell library git-sh-i18n without specifying where it is, |
| relying on the $PATH. This has been fixed to be more explicit by |
| prefixing $(git --exec-path) output in front. |
| |
| * Fix for a racy false-positive test failure. |
| |
| * Portability update and workaround for builds on recent Mac OS X. |
| |
| * Update to the test framework made in 2.9 timeframe broke running |
| the tests under valgrind, which has been fixed. |
| |
| * Improve the rule to convert "unsigned char [20]" into "struct |
| object_id *" in contrib/coccinelle/ |
| |
| Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups. |
