Git 2.23 Release Notes |
||||
====================== |
||||
|
||||
Updates since v2.22 |
||||
------------------- |
||||
|
||||
Backward compatibility note |
||||
|
||||
* The "--base" option of "format-patch" computed the patch-ids for |
||||
prerequisite patches in an unstable way, which has been updated to |
||||
compute in a way that is compatible with "git patch-id --stable". |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
UI, Workflows & Features |
||||
|
||||
* The "git fast-export/import" pair has been taught to handle commits |
||||
with log messages in encoding other than UTF-8 better. |
||||
|
||||
* In recent versions of Git, per-worktree refs are exposed in |
||||
refs/worktrees/<wtname>/ hierarchy, which means that worktree names |
||||
must be a valid refname component. The code now sanitizes the names |
||||
given to worktrees, to make sure these refs are well-formed. |
||||
|
||||
* "git merge" learned "--quit" option that cleans up the in-progress |
||||
merge while leaving the working tree and the index still in a mess. |
||||
|
||||
* "git format-patch" learns a configuration to set the default for |
||||
its --notes=<ref> option. |
||||
|
||||
* The code to show args with potential typo that cannot be |
||||
interpreted as a commit-ish has been improved. |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. |
||||
|
||||
* Update supporting parts of "git rebase" to remove code that should |
||||
no longer be used. |
||||
|
||||
* Developer support to emulate unsatisfied prerequisites in tests to |
||||
ensure that the remainer of the tests still succeeds when tests |
||||
with prerequisites are skipped. |
||||
|
||||
* "git update-server-info" learned not to rewrite the file with the |
||||
same contents. |
||||
|
||||
* The way of specifying the path to find dynamic libraries at runtime |
||||
has been simplified. The old default to pass -R/path/to/dir has been |
||||
replaced with the new default to pass -Wl,-rpath,/path/to/dir, |
||||
which is the more recent GCC uses. Those who need to build with an |
||||
old GCC can still use "CC_LD_DYNPATH=-R" |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Fixes since v2.22 |
||||
----------------- |
||||
|
||||
* A relative pathname given to "git init --template=<path> <repo>" |
||||
ought to be relative to the directory "git init" gets invoked in, |
||||
but it instead was made relative to the repository, which has been |
||||
corrected. |
||||
(merge e1df7fe43f nd/init-relative-template-fix later to maint). |
||||
|
||||
* "git worktree add" used to fail when another worktree connected to |
||||
the same repository was corrupt, which has been corrected. |
||||
(merge 105df73e71 nd/corrupt-worktrees later to maint). |
||||
|
||||
* The ownership rule for the file descriptor to fast-import remote |
||||
backend was mixed up, leading to unrelated file descriptor getting |
||||
closed, which has been fixed. |
||||
(merge 3203566a71 mh/import-transport-fd-fix later to maint). |
||||
|
||||
* A "merge -c" instruction during "git rebase --rebase-merges" should |
||||
give the user a chance to edit the log message, even when there is |
||||
otherwise no need to create a new merge and replace the existing |
||||
one (i.e. fast-forward instead), but did not. Which has been |
||||
corrected. |
||||
|
||||
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc. |
