1 Git 2.12 Release Notes
2 ======================
4 Backward compatibility notes.
6 * Use of an empty string that is used for 'everything matches' is
7 still warned and Git asks users to use a more explicit '.' for that
8 instead. The hope is that existing users will not mind this
9 change, and eventually the warning can be turned into a hard error,
10 upgrading the deprecation into removal of this (mis)feature. That
11 is not scheduled to happen in the upcoming release (yet).
13 * The historical argument order "git merge <msg> HEAD <commit>..."
14 has been deprecated for quite some time, and will be removed in the
15 upcoming release.
18 Updates since v2.11
19 -------------------
21 UI, Workflows & Features
23 *
26 Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
28 *
31 Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
33 *
36 Fixes since v2.10
37 -----------------
39 Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.9 in the maintenance
40 track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases'
41 notes for details).
43 * We often decide if a session is interactive by checking if the
44 standard I/O streams are connected to a TTY, but isatty() that
45 comes with Windows incorrectly returned true if it is used on NUL
46 (i.e. an equivalent to /dev/null). This has been fixed.
47 (merge cbb3f3c9b1 js/mingw-isatty later to maint).
49 * "git svn" did not work well with path components that are "0", and
50 some configuration variable it uses were not documented.
51 (merge ea9a93dcc2 ew/svn-fixes later to maint).
53 * Other minor doc, test and build updates and code cleanups.
