1 Git v1.7.2 Release Notes (draft)
2 ================================
4 Updates since v1.7.1
5 --------------------
7 * After "git apply --whitespace=fix" removed trailing blank lines in an
8 patch in a patch series, it failed to apply later patches that depend
9 on the presense of such blank lines.
11 * The output from the textconv filter used by "git diff" can be cached to
12 speed up their reuse.
14 * "git send-email" learned --smtp-domain option to specify the domainname
15 used in the EHLO/HELO exchange.
17 * "git revert" learned --strategy option to specify the merge strategy.
19 * The whitespace rules used in "git apply --whitespace" and "git diff"
20 gained a new member in the family (tab-in-indent) to help projects with
21 policy to indent only with spaces.
23 * Authentication over http transport can now be made lazily, in that the
24 request can first go to a URL without username, get a 401 response and
25 then the client will ask for the username to use.
28 Fixes since v1.7.1
29 ------------------
31 * In 1.7.1, "git status" stopped refreshing the index by mistake.
33 All of the fixes in v1.7.1.X maintenance series are included in this
34 release, unless otherwise noted.
