1 Git 2.33 Release Notes
2 ======================
4 Backward compatibility notes
5 ----------------------------
7 * The "-m" option in "git log -m" that does not specify which format,
8 if any, of diff is desired did not have any visible effect; it now
9 implies some form of diff (by default "--patch") is produced.
11 You can disable the diff output with "git log -m --no-patch", but
12 then there probably isn't much point in passing "-m" in the first
13 place ;-).
16 Updates since Git 2.32
17 ----------------------
19 UI, Workflows & Features
21 * "git send-email" learned the "--sendmail-cmd" command line option
22 and the "sendemail.sendmailCmd" configuration variable, which is a
23 more sensible approach than the current way of repurposing the
24 "smtp-server" that is meant to name the server to instead name the
25 command to talk to the server.
27 * The "-m" option in "git log -m" that does not specify which format,
28 if any, of diff is desired did not have any visible effect; it now
29 implies some form of diff (by default "--patch") is produced.
32 Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
34 * The code to handle the "--format" option in "for-each-ref" and
35 friends made too many string comparisons on %(atom)s used in the
36 format string, which has been corrected by converting them into
37 enum when the format string is parsed.
39 * Use the hashfile API in the codepath that writes the index file to
40 reduce code duplication.
42 * Repeated rename detections in a sequence of mergy operations have
43 been optimize out.
46 Fixes since v2.32
47 -----------------
49 * We historically rejected a very short string as an author name
50 while accepting a patch e-mail, which has been loosened.
51 (merge 72ee47ceeb ef/mailinfo-short-name later to maint).
53 * The parallel checkout codepath did not initialize object ID field
54 used to talk to the worker processes in a futureproof way.
56 * Rewrite code that triggers undefined behaviour warning.
57 (merge aafa5df0df jn/size-t-casted-to-off-t-fix later to maint).
59 * The description of "fast-forward" in the glossary has been updated.
60 (merge e22f2daed0 ry/clarify-fast-forward-in-glossary later to maint).
62 * Recent "git clone" left a temporary directory behind when the
63 transport layer returned an failure.
64 (merge 6aacb7d861 jk/clone-clean-upon-transport-error later to maint).
66 * "git fetch" over protocol v2 left its side of the socket open after
67 it finished speaking, which unnecessarily wasted the resource on
68 the other side.
69 (merge ae1a7eefff jk/fetch-pack-v2-half-close-early later to maint).
71 * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
72 (merge bfe35a6165 ah/doc-describe later to maint).
73 (merge f302c1e4aa jc/clarify-revision-range later to maint).
74 (merge 3127ff90ea tl/fix-packfile-uri-doc later to maint).
75 (merge a84216c684 jk/doc-color-pager later to maint).
76 (merge 4e0a64a713 ab/trace2-squelch-gcc-warning later to maint).
77 (merge 225f7fa847 ps/rev-list-object-type-filter later to maint).
