1 Git v2.3.2 Release Notes
2 ========================
4 Fixes since v2.3.1
5 ------------------
7 * "update-index --refresh" used to leak when an entry cannot be
8 refreshed for whatever reason.
10 * "git fast-import" used to crash when it could not close and
11 conclude the resulting packfile cleanly.
13 * "git blame" died, trying to free an uninitialized piece of memory.
15 * "git merge-file" did not work correctly in a subdirectory.
17 * "git submodule add" failed to squash "path/to/././submodule" to
18 "path/to/submodule".
20 * In v2.2.0, we broke "git prune" that runs in a repository that
21 borrows from an alternate object store.
23 * Certain older vintages of cURL give irregular output from
24 "curl-config --vernum", which confused our build system.
26 * An earlier workaround to squelch unhelpful deprecation warnings
27 from the complier on Mac OSX unnecessarily set minimum required
28 version of the OS, which the user might want to raise (or lower)
29 for other reasons.
31 * Longstanding configuration variable naming rules has been added to
32 the documentation.
34 * The credential helper for Windows (in contrib/) used to mishandle
35 a user name with an at-sign in it.
37 * Older GnuPG implementations may not correctly import the keyring
38 material we prepare for the tests to use.
40 * Clarify in the documentation that "remote.<nick>.pushURL" and
41 "remote.<nick>.URL" are there to name the same repository accessed
42 via different transports, not two separate repositories.
44 * The pack bitmap support did not build with older versions of GCC.
46 * Reading configuration from a blob object, when it ends with a lone
47 CR, use to confuse the configuration parser.
49 * We didn't format an integer that wouldn't fit in "int" but in
50 "uintmax_t" correctly.
52 * "git push --signed" gave an incorrectly worded error message when
53 the other side did not support the capability.
55 * "git fetch" over a remote-helper that cannot respond to "list"
56 command could not fetch from a symbolic reference e.g. HEAD.
58 * The insn sheet "git rebase -i" creates did not fully honor
59 core.abbrev settings.
61 * The tests that wanted to see that file becomes unreadable after
62 running "chmod a-r file", and the tests that wanted to make sure it
63 is not run as root, we used "can we write into the / directory?" as
64 a cheap substitute, but on some platforms that is not a good
65 heuristics. The tests and their prerequisites have been updated to
66 check what they really require.
68 * The configuration variable 'mailinfo.scissors' was hard to
69 discover in the documentation.
71 * Correct a breakage to git-svn around v2.2 era that triggers
72 premature closing of FileHandle.
74 * Even though we officially haven't dropped Perl 5.8 support, the
75 Getopt::Long package that came with it does not support "--no-"
76 prefix to negate a boolean option; manually add support to help
77 people with older Getopt::Long package.
79 Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups.
