1 Git 2.34 Release Notes
2 ======================
4 Updates since Git 2.33
5 ----------------------
7 UI, Workflows & Features
9 * Pathname expansion (like "~username/") learned a way to specify a
10 location relative to Git installation (e.g. its $sharedir which is
11 $(prefix)/share), with "%(prefix)".
13 * Use `ort` instead of `recursive` as the default merge strategy.
15 * The userdiff pattern for "java" language has been updated.
18 Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
20 * "git bisect" spawned "git show-branch" only to pretty-print the
21 title of the commit after checking out the next version to be
22 tested; this has been rewritten in C.
24 * "git add" can work better with the sparse index.
26 * Support for ancient versions of cURL library (pre 7.19.4) has been
27 dropped.
29 * A handful of tests that assumed implementation details of files
30 backend for refs have been cleaned up.
32 * trace2 logs learned to show parent process name to see in what
33 context Git was invoked.
35 * Loading of ref tips to prepare for common ancestry negotiation in
36 "git fetch-pack" has been optimized by taking advantage of the
37 commit graph when available.
39 * Remind developers that the userdiff patterns should be kept simple
40 and permissive, assuming that the contents they apply are always
41 syntactically correct.
43 * The current implementation of GIT_TEST_FAIL_PREREQS is broken in
44 that checking for the lack of a prerequisite would not work. Avoid
45 the use of "if ! test_have_prereq X" in a test script.
48 Fixes since v2.33
49 -----------------
51 * Input validation of "git pack-objects --stdin-packs" has been
52 corrected.
53 (merge 561fa03529 ab/pack-stdin-packs-fix later to maint).
55 * Bugfix for common ancestor negotiation recently introduced in "git
56 push" code path.
57 (merge 82823118b9 jt/push-negotiation-fixes later to maint).
59 * "git pull" had various corner cases that were not well thought out
60 around its --rebase backend, e.g. "git pull --ff-only" did not stop
61 but went ahead and rebased when the history on other side is not a
62 descendant of our history. The series tries to fix them up.
63 (merge 6f843a3355 en/pull-conflicting-options later to maint).
65 * "git apply" miscounted the bytes and failed to read to the end of
66 binary hunks.
67 (merge 46d723ce57 jk/apply-binary-hunk-parsing-fix later to maint).
69 * "git range-diff" code clean-up.
70 (merge c4d5907324 jk/range-diff-fixes later to maint).
72 * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
73 (merge 1d9c8daef8 ab/bundle-doc later to maint).
74 (merge 81483fe613 en/merge-strategy-docs later to maint).
75 (merge 626beebdf8 js/log-protocol-version later to maint).
76 (merge 00e302da76 cb/builtin-merge-format-string-fix later to maint).
77 (merge ad51ae4dc0 cb/ci-freebsd-update later to maint).
