1 Git v2.10.3 Release Notes
2 =========================
4 Fixes since v2.10.2
5 -------------------
7 * Extract a small helper out of the function that reads the authors
8 script file "git am" internally uses.
9 This by itself is not useful until a second caller appears in the
10 future for "rebase -i" helper.
12 * The command-line completion script (in contrib/) learned to
13 complete "git cmd ^mas<HT>" to complete the negative end of
14 reference to "git cmd ^master".
16 * "git send-email" attempts to pick up valid e-mails from the
17 trailers, but people in real world write non-addresses there, like
18 "Cc: Stable <add@re.ss> # 4.8+", which broke the output depending
19 on the availability and vintage of Mail::Address perl module.
21 * The code that we have used for the past 10+ years to cycle
22 4-element ring buffers turns out to be not quite portable in
23 theoretical world.
25 * "git daemon" used fixed-length buffers to turn URL to the
26 repository the client asked for into the server side directory
27 path, using snprintf() to avoid overflowing these buffers, but
28 allowed possibly truncated paths to the directory. This has been
29 tightened to reject such a request that causes overlong path to be
30 required to serve.
32 * Recent update to git-sh-setup (a library of shell functions that
33 are used by our in-tree scripted Porcelain commands) included
34 another shell library git-sh-i18n without specifying where it is,
35 relying on the $PATH. This has been fixed to be more explicit by
36 prefixing $(git --exec-path) output in front.
38 * Fix for a racy false-positive test failure.
40 * Portability update and workaround for builds on recent Mac OS X.
42 * Update to the test framework made in 2.9 timeframe broke running
43 the tests under valgrind, which has been fixed.
45 * Improve the rule to convert "unsigned char [20]" into "struct
46 object_id *" in contrib/coccinelle/
48 Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
