1 Git 2.26 Release Notes
2 ======================
4 Updates since v2.25
5 -------------------
7 UI, Workflows & Features
9 * Sample credential helper for using .netrc has been updated to work
10 out of the box.
12 * gpg.minTrustLevel configuration variable has been introduced to
13 tell various signature verification codepaths the required minimum
14 trust level.
16 * The command line completion (in contrib/) learned to complete
17 subcommands and arguments to "git worktree".
20 Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
22 * Tell .editorconfig that in this project, *.txt files are indented
23 with tabs.
25 * The test-lint machinery knew to check "VAR=VAL shell_function"
26 construct, but did not check "VAR= shell_funciton", which has been
27 corrected.
29 * Replace "git config --bool" calls with "git config --type=bool" in
30 sample templates.
33 Fixes since v2.25
34 -----------------
36 * "git commit" gives output similar to "git status" when there is
37 nothing to commit, but without honoring the advise.statusHints
38 configuration variable, which has been corrected.
39 (merge 5c4f55f1f6 hw/commit-advise-while-rejecting later to maint).
41 * has_object_file() said "no" given an object registered to the
42 system via pretend_object_file(), making it inconsistent with
43 read_object_file(), causing lazy fetch to attempt fetching an
44 empty tree from promisor remotes.
45 (merge 9c8a294a1a jt/sha1-file-remove-oi-skip-cached later to maint).
47 * Complete an update to tutorial that encourages "git switch" over
48 "git checkout" that was done only half-way.
49 (merge 1a7e454dd6 hw/tutorial-favor-switch-over-checkout later to maint).
51 * C pedantry ;-) fix.
52 (merge 63ab08fb99 bc/run-command-nullness-after-free-fix later to maint).
54 * The code that tries to skip over the entries for the paths in a
55 single directory using the cache-tree was not careful enough
56 against corrupt index file.
57 (merge 573117dfa5 es/unpack-trees-oob-fix later to maint).
59 * Reduce unnecessary round-trip when running "ls-remote" over the
60 stateless RPC mechanism.
61 (merge 4d8cab95cc jk/no-flush-upon-disconnecting-slrpc-transport later to maint).
63 * "git restore --staged" did not correctly update the cache-tree
64 structure, resulting in bogus trees to be written afterwards, which
65 has been corrected.
66 (merge e701bab3e9 nd/switch-and-restore later to maint).
68 * The code recently added to move to the entry beyond the ones in the
69 same directory in the index in the sparse-cone mode did not count
70 the number of entries to skip over incorrectly, which has been
71 corrected.
72 (merge 7210ca4ee5 ds/sparse-cone later to maint).
74 * Rendering by "git log --graph" of ancestry lines leading to a merge
75 commit were made suboptimal to waste vertical space a bit with a
76 recent update, which has been corrected.
77 (merge c958d3bd0a ds/graph-horizontal-edges later to maint).
79 * Work around test breakages caused by custom regex engine used in
80 libasan, when address sanitizer is used with more recent versions
81 of gcc and clang.
82 (merge f65d07fffa jk/asan-build-fix later to maint).
84 * Minor bugfixes to "git add -i" that has recently been rewritten in C.
85 (merge 849e43cc18 js/builtin-add-i-cmds later to maint).
87 * "git fetch --refmap=" option has got a better documentation.
88 (merge b40a50264a ds/refmap-doc later to maint).
90 * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
91 (merge 26f924d50e en/simplify-check-updates-in-unpack-trees later to maint).
92 (merge 065027ee1a en/string-list-can-be-custom-sorted later to maint).
93 (merge d0d0a357a1 am/update-pathspec-f-f-tests later to maint).
